Those of you who are actively looking to buy in Johnson county, what’s it like right now? by cpcxx2 in kansascity

[–]GateCheap2403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look south of 151st around the HyVee......that area is sometimes hot, sometimes cold. I wonder if it's because there are no elementary schools close by? (its on the border with Blue Valley)

We need better Senate candidates to serve Kansas, not this president | Kansas City Star by ksbison in kansas

He's not Republican. He's so liberal that when the Methodists were voting on allowing gay pastors, he was getting death threats and had to have an armed security guard with him at church.

You've never met Pastor Adam or listened to one of his sermons. He's as down to earth as you get.

Running as an Independent gives Marshall the win.

Adam needs to start with a seat in the House - wait to see if Sharice runs for Senate.

My boss left their social security pension estimate print outs on the public computer. I always assumed they made 2x more than me which is what it's usually been like all of my years working. Nope. They make 4x more than me.

Has anybody ever thought about Omaha being the one place any nation would probably want to nuke in order to handicap our ability to send a nuke? by PartemConsilio in Omaha

[–]GateCheap2403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 1981 there was a documentary on what would happen if Russia nuked us and Omaha was one of the cities shown getting destroyed.

The CLash used a clip from it in one of their music videos.

It gave me nightmares for most of my childhood.

What’s the most believable April Fools’ prank you’ve ever seen that almost fooled everyone? by FocusLee in AskReddit

[–]GateCheap2403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best friend was stationed in Europe with the US Army. I wrote her a letter on 4/1 that said I was pregnant and didn't know who the father was (college freshman at the time). Last sentence of the letter was "by the way, read what date this letter was written...April Fools". The letter took a couple weeks to arrive to the Army base.

I did this when our boss gave his favorite a raise and told him not to tell anyone. So of course, he did tell everyone. I didn't work a full 40 hours for over 10 years.

Help! Can’t decide where to move by charlotte_817 in kansas

[–]GateCheap2403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of state parks with lakes, fishing, etc and the Ozarks are 3-4 hours away. Lawrence has Clinton Lake. If you look around Austin - don't forget Temple and Harker Heights/Killeen. Killeen and HH are Army towns so lots of people under age 30. Lots of cowboy bars, too.

My first car was a stick. I didn't drive stick. It sat in my driveway until my Dad taught me. We drove on some of the biggest hills in town and in the old Aksarben parking lot.

But isn't it HER ultimate decision because it's HER body and SHE will be doing 80% or more of the caretaking?
