it once was like that back in a day when my dad and his generation of folk were alive, but much has changed in the past 40 years since then, i never grew up with that

A midwest state?

ah no, i am in Maryland

Oh. that's just norteast of me

found out by my sons who are adults , they have pals who live in various of states across the US and they said Maryland is a very difficult place to live and people are commonly difficult to get along with in this state where as they said their experiences in other states people on the job are far easier to work with than here

i never knew that, i just thought everyone everywhere was like this

we are strongly considering to move out of state in a few years, we are taking our time to think that one out , no hasty decisions

my middle son who is in the marines said when he gets out he will take the job offer from Space X as a security guard and wanted me to move with him to split the cost of living , that will be somewhere out in the desert lol , i think that would be cool

here is a strange thing: people have been migrating from the northern "blue" states for the obvious reason - their states are high taxes, Dem run, nasty people and crime, etc., So, they decide to move south where folks get along, low taxes, reasonable realestate prices and cost of living, etc. They used to move to Florida or somewhere like that. Now, they're stopping in Virginia and North Carolina and bringing their "blue state" ideals and all with them and Virginia is now looking like they state will become blue and Socialist-left. We have criminal Sen. Mark Warner and Sen. Tim Kaine (HRC's VP) and infanticide governor Northam, Sex predator Lt Gov Fairfax

Out in the desert? Like Arizona? Nevada?

that makes so much sense

when my middle son served in 8th and I in DC, he said that place was horrible, people on edge , we visited him once when he was off duty

@Rekkedge If you do that, you may want to rent for 6-12 months to get the lay of the land in terms of costs, locations, the people. Just a suggestion.

he refused to use the tram , tons of off duty marines were injured a a few died at trams from attackers, so we would pick him up on his time off to be at home until he was cleared and allowed to drive by car

Hey @Rekkedge most would pin my state as "blue", but as are most, it's the cities... I went to NC in the motorhome a few years back, and up through TN and I loved the area... I am a backwoods redneck and self sufficient so I love the back country

@the Steward If I do what?

that is good advice that is the route we were going to take Steward

Good evening you filthy savages 🙂

Deplorables the lot of you

we have a few ideas as possible options when moving, we were either going to rent at an el cheapo motel for a month or so, or buy a mini mobile home as a long term investment and live out of that till we located a house to buy

<- Walmart person, but only occationally "smelly"

what happens up here, is the boston and NY city folk want to get away from the BS they have allowed to happen in their own state, so they buy a place here, then bitch because there's no garbage truck or who knows what that they seem to think they "need" and go trying to change the area into what they left... I guess that's the issue everywhere that is "country" when the city folk invade!!!

because we know that some places that rent apparments etc might only come with a year contract that we do not want to commit to

@Bobs YurUncle ... LMAO! yup we are!

hahahha Rekkage

me to!

If you move elsewhere in the country. Gives you time to check out an area and not buy too high. Its a common practice among those who move a lot. eYou can either pay too much or wait a while and give yourself some time to get familiar with the areas Real estate prices.

exactly Steward

Happy Friday. Got a chilly bevey, a warm humid weekend coming a clean swimming pool. LIFE is good

He probably already knows that, but just in case.

@the Steward I'm firmly established where I live. It's not me moving anywhere. It's those moving in...

this is why we were thinking to invest and buy a mini mobile home, we won't have to worry about finding a place and having to commit to a year rent contract and if we needed to move again , we have a home to take with us

Qh, Misunderstood.

@Bobs YurUncle 🍻

and places in the desert has lots of living space lol

Grass is cut and I'm in for some Cold Brewed Freedom <:PepeYay:539084299391991828>

Bob was my uncle, died at a ripe old age, 90 something or other.

Blue state people fleeing blue states and loving the lifestyle of Red states, but bringing all their Blue state habits and values with them to eventually turn the Rd state into wyat they fled is...well, insane

I think everyone in my age group has an uncle Bob

@the Steward wow, he did good!

LOL... I have 2 uncles left.. no BOB's!
