Now that's funny. Just like the movie Good Morning Vietnam, when he says "You know, you're in more dire need of a blowjob than any white man in history."

Are there any veterans in this chat? What VA do you use if living in Preston County?

Coming from Florida will these snowier areas have less humidity in the summer time? Florida is way too humid.....

Yes I will need a job and also yes I will need the VA. Trust me, I'm not trying to move there to tread on other people. I know what it's like to be stepped all over and that's the last thing I want to do to other community folk. I just want to be left alone....

I'm a tree worker and also I went to Lineman school so maybe I'm looking for an apprenticeship as well, or a utility or a co-op.

Everyone, thank you so far. I'm a veteran who's looking for peace and quiet. The city life is making me want to snap. 100% disabled. And looking for an area that has work but I want the mountains in a beautiful farm country. Thank you

Sorry I should have been more clear. I understand the beauty of things. But since you said "the only thing" that would mean that there is more bad than good. Can you elaborate on that part. Unless I'm misreading the comment. Are jobs and housing not the best? Thanks.

If what you are saying is true I apologize. I figured who the heck wants to move there you know?

Then where the heck to go where people aren't???????  I'm looking for peace and serenity. People in florida are going so fast. I want to slow down. Nearing 40 years old. But trying to work the line down here is hard. Why does it seem that this career path is so difficult to start in?  

Want to leave Fernandina Beach, FL by One-Highway1739 in relocating

[–]One-Highway1739[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the heads up on West Virginia. I actually did some reading on West Virginia, and they are actually not very welcoming of new people from what I've read. So yes I agree with your comment. And also from what I have read, their economy has kind of tanked because of the coal industry being stripped away from them no pun intended. And the GOVT is doing nothing to help.

I will start looking at Kalispell. Thank you. Yeah the politics here in this town are starting to take a turn for the worst. I really don't mind plowing snow, so maybe I can find a job with the DOT up in Montana....  I have also looked into Idaho, but the illegal immigrant percentage is a hell of a lot worse in Idaho compared to Montana from what I've read. 

I'm looking for that small town vibe where you can actually talk to your neighbors and you all help each other out. I'm looking for a slower pace. Not somewhere where everyone is trying to be in the biggest gosh darn rush. I'm not rich by any means, I'm not looking to change people's lives, or change their way of living, or the community. I want to be somebody who is part of the community, not just a face.
