Topic: RE: Looking into moving to NM
Hi, Erin,
Well, NM is a big state, and probably the biggest crop is the Chile Pepper. I live in Albuquerque, which is the largest city - about 500,000 people spread out over a 20mile by 20 mile area - give or take! There are also cattle ranchers, ostrich and alpaca and llama ranchers, but I guess you could also grow almost anything that wants a lot of sun. Even in the Abq area you could buy a few acres in a rural area out of town.
I transplanted here 6 years ago from NJ, so I still have a lot of looking around to do.
When you're in town, join us at our support group - check us out at:

Hope to get to meet you soon!
By the way, you've done very well since your surgery!

Topic: RE: Whats the deal with BC/BS of NM?
Sorry about not getting back sooner. I've been stuck over in Dudleyville AZ for the past week. I felt like I was in that movie Wrong Turn.
I've been talking with my doctor here in Arizona and he said that they can not deny me. He feels really strong about me having the surgery. Maybe if you could get your doctor to be more persuasive it could help. I really think my doctor and surgeon combined together are going to come through for me.

Topic: Looking into moving to NM
I am looking into moving to New Mexico. I have been reading a lot about NM and am wanting to move there. I would rather not move to big populated cities but rural area that I could have land and a home and be close enough to the county seat as I work for the county here in California.
Could you tell me what sort of crops you grow there, what the areas are like. I am bi-lingual and work in Medical billing and secretarial.
Thank you for your help in advance.

Yes Karen-
I too have BCBS of NM and they have a written exclusion policy. I am going to save pay and not very happy about it. Best Wishes. Valerie
