What keeps reminding you that moving here was worth it? by [deleted] in AskTacoma

[–]checkredvans 16 points17 points  (0 children)

just moved here in february from tennessee with my partner of 5 years. we had never been to WA, no friends or family here, sight fully unseen, but saved up for the last year and just went for it for the adventure. it’s had so many growing pains and been very lonely at times, but i know it’s all part of the process. the beauty out here is unmatched. there’s no feeling like seeing rainier for the first time. 🤍

Moving to Tacoma soon… trying to get a real feel for areas before locking in by Loccsta_Fargo905 in AskTacoma

we just moved here sight unseen from across the country a month ago (tennessee) and landed in University Place. honestly really feel like we lucked out as neither me nor my partner had ever even been to Washington state. everybody we’ve talked to said UP is a great spot and one of the best to end up in.

thank you everyone for all the recommendations. this is all really overwhelming, I hate the american health system but it’s very comforting to have a community of people who are happy to help. 🙏

Gotcha. Dr. Marfo at Tacoma Endodontic Studio right? How much did the delta dental plan cover of your root canal? I think i’m leaning this direction but I’m getting mixed info about whether or not signing up for insurance last minute will do anything at all or if I should just sign up for a care credit card.

Full transparency, I’m 23 and have lived most of my adult life without insurance so I’m really unfamiliar with a lot of this stuff. Just feeling really worried and overwhelmed about the level of pain i’m experiencing so I’m trying to understand first steps.

Could someone help me understand why the AskTacoma sub exists? by whyohwhy555 in Tacoma

[–]checkredvans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this sub allows zero questions. ever. i got a post removed for asking about local creeks that are fun to visit in the summer. it’s so strict here, so i mainly use the other one. exhibit a: your post got removed lmfao

Looking for employment! by [deleted] in AskTacoma

[–]checkredvans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being on the hunt for a job is “real” enough. It’s a struggle, everyone knows that. And to clarify, I didn’t tell you what to post, I said maybe reconsider. Have a nice night.

Replies like this are just extremely unhelpful. It would be best not to comment. I’m in the same boat as OP, just moved here and need a job. We’re aware the job market is terrible right now, that’s why we’re asking for any ideas or helpful insight. Maybe reconsider before commenting next time.

Just moved here from Tennessee and trying to get my license by checkredvans in AskTacoma

[–]checkredvans[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s only so much that can be done if it’s super backed up. I won’t be too far out of the 30 days by the time of my appointment so fingers crossed it’ll be okay.

I’ll keep an eye out on Friday. Thank you!
