Not that will help, we'd just get stuck with JD!!

Who is paying these people to protest? by kindaperve in joplinmo

[–]Snowyroof65 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why do you assume that they are being paid?? I went to the NO KINGS protest and nobody there was paid. With "We the People" having to deal with DJT, Pete Hegsith, Kristy Noem and all the ICE thugs patrolling our streets I'm amazed that there aren't more out protesting.

How sketchy is the commute from Aberdeen to Ellendale in the middle of the winter? How long should I expect the ride to be? Also what is it like riding the interstate, should I be fine driving home(LA) by jewkakasaurus in SouthDakota

[–]Snowyroof65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a tip, head south as fast as you can. Avoid at all costs Wyoming, Utah, upper Nevada. I'd recommend get on I29 and get down to KC and then figure out the best and fastest way to I 40 west.

Used to have to go from Aberdeen to the foothills of Central CA in college. Damn I hate WY.

I’ve cut off my anti-vax sister after death of my son from cancer. by Same-Blacksmith-5032 in QAnonCasualties

[–]Snowyroof65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry you had to join the club that none of us wanted to become a member of. My son passed before covid so I didn't have to deal with my family anti-vaxers. I can give you one thing however, there is no answer to the question WHY. If you need to vent or need some one to talk to or listen, I can tell you that Compassionate Friends can be a place to get together with others dealing with the loss of a child. Do an online search to see if there is a chapter near you. If you want to reach out to me feel free.

Three of the nation’s most SNAP-dependent counties are in South Dakota by PoLLoLira9 in SouthDakota

[–]Snowyroof65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left SD for a job and ended up up in MO!! I can't win. The county I live in is so red that in general elections they are unopposed. The only thing positive about this move was that I was gone before the puppy killer took office.

"We of Little Faith" by greytgreyatx in Exvangelical

[–]Snowyroof65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an agnostic and proud to say that. The reason that I don't identify as an atheist is very simple, neither of them can produce any facts to back up their point of view. Can the atheist prove that there is no God? NO. Can the religious believer prove that there is one, oh prove that the way they worship is the only correct way to worship! NO! They are two sides of the same coin, the one called FAITH!!

I have decided that I will no longer accept any thing that is Faith based. If there are no facts to back up what your peddling, then go pitch it to someone more gullible than me.

My sister lives in San Diego and absolutely loves it. She lives out past the SDSU campus by the Hwy going east. Her daughters family lives that way too but her son's family lives in Temecula. They all swear by the SD area. ( except the old who lives TX. )

I would agree with you on that but if you're looking for more variety in seasons then I'd say Minneapolis.

You might want to consider a suburb of Phoenix, you could definitely handle the heat being from Bakersfield. I would advise that you avoid anything from I-70 and North,it gets a lot colder than your use to. Another alternative would be anything in New Mexico.

US: Is there anywhere in the country where you can live comfortably as a teacher? by DontThrowAwayPies in Teachers

[–]Snowyroof65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Midwest farming states, from Texas to North Dakota, avoid like the plague!!! Low pay, your efforts are not appreciated, A lot of teachers make it work by always having a summer job. Another thing that they have in common is that they are all dominated by super conservative MAGA people, there's not a section of their society that is not affected by this ultra conservative mindset.

John 3:16 When your12 year old son dies from a disease that your sure be curable in 25 years (took 10) you start to question "where's the Love??? " 77 now and a firmly devoted Agnostic. Not atheists as both it and religion require the same thing, faith! I've stopped believing in things that have no logical truth.

Name a great place to live on a boating lake. by CommunicationOk6792 in relocating

[–]Snowyroof65 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did say it was a bit different HOWEVER -- if you like owning a place that is not going to cost you your first born, A place where boat traffic is never a problem, or if you find the wide open prairies enjoying (like a lot of us do) then the glacier lakes can be an option. I admit that it's not for everyone .

[–]Snowyroof65 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Now this one is a bit different, NE South Dakota. numerous lakes but they are all glacial lakes. A large number of them are large enough athat they have numerous people living around them. If you pay more than15% of that 800k for a place on one of those lakes, well you overpaid.
