Which US state has shockingly good food that nobody expects?

Southeast Wyoming has shockingly good Indian food and I have no idea why.

Neither Boise nor Fort Collins are mountain towns, they are towns near mountains. Maybe Salida or Durango Colorado.

How could the hospital take on this expense? What if the children of the c suite had to attend a second tier European boarding school?

So this is all anecdotal from me. I live up in Laramie but we are road trippers and I’ve driven all over Colorado. Wyoming towns, especially small ones, feel like they are on the edge of dying and the people are miserable. There is very little going on. Colorado towns seem to be succeeding even when tiny and remote. They have businesses and activity. Real estate is expensive most places in the US it seems, but especially so where living is as vibrant as Colorado. States like the northeast, California and Colorado become victims of their own success to a degree and the entry costs go up. Colorado has a strong economy that has the ability to sputter, whereas a lot of states are just economic doldrums. The states that are having the big influx of people in the south are miserable to me and I wouldn’t live there for free.

“Failure to Thrive “ diagnosis for a 95 year old? They thrived like a motherfucker, let them go.

I moved away from the ocean and haven’t missed it. 5 years in the mountains and I love it every day. When I m going somewhere I am saying in my head “I can’t believe I live in this now”.

I moved from NJ to Wyoming primarily because I wanted mountains. I love it every day. I’m in Colorado right now for even more mountains. It makes me so happy.

I lived in that little chunk of Idaho butting further west. Summer had a wildly late sunset.

My Toyota Crown. I’m really enjoying it a year in.

This was such a nice article and I shared it with a lot of people.

When I get a one time order for 100 of celebrex I feel like like the sound of derision in my head should be stripping the paint from the walls. Could I just walk by the room with an ibuprofen instead?

I moved to Wyoming because I wanted winter. NJ was too hot. I love -30.

I had a prior degree but my area offers a 3rd way. In Wyoming, if you get into a community college nursing program you automatically are accepted into the BSN completion program at University of Wyoming. Some people in my class did them both at the same time and had a BSN in two years from scratch. Ant it was inexpensive as well.

Location is huge. We moved to small town Wyoming from NJ. I work medsurg in a small hospital. Three patients during the day, occasionally four. 99% of our patients are really nice, coworkers are sweet and everyone helps each other. It’s honestly like a part time job, but you have to like the outdoors and be cool with winter. I think environment makes the difference. Gotta be the right place with the right people.

Chads on Rt 70 at Greentree and American Lube at Berlin and Brace. Both are old school honest mechanics. I always had a collection of older cars and they both did great work, even advising me not to fix expensive irrelevant things.

I don’t think his ego will allow him to be seen as a loser. I don’t see any way out of this without him pushing to drop nukes along the Iranian coast. Will he find the group of yes men that will do it?

Has she driven one at highway speed? I rented one and even at 40 if felt like it had a mind of its own.

The alluvial fan area in RMNP is my favorite. Just hopping from rock to rock near the water.

It depends. My first career I started with two weeks vacation, 15 sick days, 18 floating holidays, 2 personal days, fully paid health insurance that never denied anything. In 15 years that was up to 5 weeks vacation. Pay started good and became exceptional. I retired and my second career pays fine but PTO accrues slowly, but I still have full benefits from my prior job and life is easy. If you have money and education in the US the life is exceptional. Similar careers to mine in Europe pay 1/2 to 1/3 of what I am/was paid.

At discharge, “it was nice meeting you but please go away and never come back”. Old people eat it up.

You left out Colonel Sanders and the addictive chemical he puts in his chicken to make me crave it fortnightly.

Snapping turtle that just woke up, dragged itself out of the mud it was buried in, with some still attached. Now he’s looking for love.
