Where would you move?

[Luissa]

I just want to get the fuck out of Spokane. My friends might be over to the westside this next year and I want to follow in the next couple of years. Spokane is a dead end right now and I want to get out of here for awhile. I might come back when I am older because most of my family live here.

It's hard here now, unless you make a lot of money expect a lot of challenges if you move here. For such a "techcentric" city, we fail in most other areas. Our housing costs are still out of control, home prices fall everywhere except here, it sucks. We are being taken over by the homeless from other states, they are being given fucking bus tickets to get here, so our resources are being stretched, and our city is broke as a joke. I recommend, if you can afford it, someplace like Kent or Renton, they're pretty stable in comparison.

I should have said Seattle area sorry, I would have lived in Seattle if I moved over there when it was just me but if I moved over there now it would be to somewhere like Kent. I have family in Redmond and Issaquah but that is alittle too expensive for me. One cousin works for Microsoft and the other for Boeing.
I just like how it is so green over there and there is a lot more to do.

Apply for a state job, Luissa, and list as many places as you can as places you'd be willing to work in. In Oregon, you fill out a PD100 and you can pick up to 40 locations.

Then word your individual applications so they match word for word the job description. Every match is a point. I got at least 3 letters for interviews a week.

Also apply for federal jobs, here and anywhere overseas you'd be willing to work.

If you don't have a diploma, get one. It's a few weeks out of your life, part time.

 

[Luissa]

I am college right now and want to finish this time but I will remember that for the future.

My choice would be 40 or 50 acres somewhere in the Rockies. Montana, Colorado, Idaho etc wouldn't matter to me as long as I had some land and a view of some 10,000 foot or higher peaks.

 

[AllieBaba]

New Mexico.

If I had the money I would buy a lot of land in Wyoming away from big cities. I would build a compound and prepare for the coming chaos and disasters. I would try and get a small community going that was kind of self sufficient.

Jim Jones? David Koresh??? (jking)

Jones murdered people, Koresh was a religious nut job, but broke no laws, he and those in his compound were murdered by an overzealous Federal Government, and do you remember WHO ordered those murders?

I am pretty sure that opening fire on ATF agents with MACHINE GUNS is against the law even in Texas. If you are going to try to defend the CHILD RAPIST Koresh then I think you are going to have a hard time doing so.

 

[Agnapostate]

Pffft, RetardedGayInsurgent defending child rape...who's surprised by our resident polygamist?

 

[Mr Natural]

I'm content right where I am, the North Shore of Suffolk County, L.I.

Although I wouldn't mind a place in Florida for the Winter.

Unless you are an original inhabitant that is.

Not true... the treatment of the Maori is far better now than it was and there are treaties protecting them. Not to mention the fact that they're well-represented in Parliament now.

Not perfect, I'm sure... but not what you're implying.

New Zealand...it's beautiful and the government takes care of their own.

Unless you are an original inhabitant that is.

Just like here.

you should move around Phillipsburg Montana, it is on the back way and very beautiful.

Had a spot right behind the the Smallwood store in this picture. To the left is an inlet with a small dock where our boat parked. Less than 25 feet from the front of our trailer. I'd sit there on the dock at that store and fish. Rod caught a three foot Red from the beach area to the right of the store one year down there. We'd stay there aprox six months every year for a time. Nancy's dad had built the store.

Coconuts grew on all of the trees. We'd pick them up off the pavement there. Through the week normally we had most of the place to ourselves. I'd check on Nancy most every day unless I knew her nurse would be there that day. She had, had Parkinsons disease for years and could not always get a nurse out to the Island every day to help her do simple normal chores.

Son spent one Winter there with us. He got a job in Everglades City with the local tourist park guys. Eventually they had him wrestling alligators. A little six foot gator was the meanest he said. The guys named her Nancy...cousins of Nancy if I recall correctly. Some of the locals took him in & treated him like a family member. They would take him out frogging and such at night. It was a grand time and experience for a nineteen year old.

This little spot was a short walk through the mangroves. A family was landscaping to eventually build a house. It's for sale now. It looks like they gave up on putting in a home there to retire to. The building permits there can be pretty touchy to get if the locals are not assisting someone to get them or do not like whoever is trying to get a building permit. Last time we spoke with them they had spent somewhere in the neighborhood a two hundred and fifty grand trying to get through the permitting process.

I also thought the Keys were very beautiful. Probably just as hard to build there as Chokoloskee though.

Just like here.

Hey, we take pretty good care of the Indians these days. Nobody else in Oregon gets to have casinos, and nobody else gets to fish and hunt on the res, which of course has the best fishing and hunting.

Though they're getting pretty nasty with their own these days. There are a lot of non-enrolled Indians, and some of the enrolled ones are hell on wheels bent on keeping those guys from enjoying any of the benefits (no there aren't a lot, but fishing and hunting are a couple of them) of being Indian. It's asinine. The Indians used to accept anyone they wanted into the tribe, it wasn't based on BLOODLINES or PERCENTAGE of Indian blood. Now it's all about genetics. It's disgusting and because of it, they are pretty much ensuring their group will die out. They're already so inbred it's outrageous..and the ones who aren't don't get to enroll.

I was watching Lewis Black the other day on HBO, is stuff on New Zealand is hilarous. Like him I would not want to ride in a plane for 22 hours to get there.

Isn't it hard to immigrate there?

You wouldn't know, unless you've lived there....:O)

Unfortunately, yes it can be. Then again, most countries in the western world are, aren't they? I think it's pretty hard to get into the US and Canada...ditto Australia (unless you're a NZer)..
