Retirement will be TN or SD most likely.
Huh.. Thought you LOVED livin' there in that seven-county metro area.. smile

But I hear ya re: retirement.. Nancy's quitting at 62 - then we're OUTTA here... It'll be SD, then winter in AZ.. Mebbe we can be neighbors in that Rapid City area, eh? laugh laugh
Redneck-seriously? Tom's been looking for a way out of here for years and has openly talked about it here many times.

Yep - but I can't fathom why he then continues to defend that state... I don't get it.

And (seriously) there's only TWO things I hate about MN.. The Queens - and that it's located between me and the Dakotas..

The rest - I just laugh at.. laugh laugh

True dat, you here in MN gots more. Besides that, WI has Scott Walker, a governor with a set of balls and a vision to make WI a better place.

Oh, and we have the Packers too.

You'd be welcome in ID too.


How the income tax in ID? That's kinda my starting point.

Lets face it. The politics in this state are beyond screwed up. Al Frankin is a Senator for Chrissakes. I have no use for most of the "R's" here either. Except Kurt Daudt, he keeps crazy eyes on "stroke watch" because he won't give in to his B.S.

Why do I defend it? Because I live here. It's where my family is, it's where I grew up. And I work here. I have a great job I worked my ass off to get. I worked 3 jobs to pay for school so I didn't have debt, I went to college here. Then I moved to WI for work. Busted my ass there on jobs I could tolerate until I could get experience to have one like I do now. I'm trying my hardest to retire from it because I love my job, but this state is making it hard for me.

I'll be here for 6 more years until my kids graduate HS. There are great schools here. My kids attend them and are doing very well. My daughter takes college courses in mechanical engineering ...she's in 8th grade. She's in high school sports and continues a 4.2GPA. My son is a great kid, gets great grades 3.8GPA, captain of his football team, wrestler, baseball player, fishin fool, deer hunting crazy and works his lawn mowing "business" to pay for his cell phone. I'm doing fine here...

I'm just a redneck kid that grew up in the woods of northern MN, fishing, hunting, drinking beer in the back of my truck bed, racing cars on Friday night and chasing girls, constantly. It's a beautiful state if you get out of the city. I'd take St. Paul ANY day over the chithole Madison or Milwaukee. But like here, the rest of the state is beautiful. You can have Minneapolis though. I have no use for it.

So when someone seafire goes out of their way to find only the bad things of this state, yeah, I defend it.

And lets face it...you love the Vikings. You talk about the Vikings more than the Vikings.

Everybody has to live somewhere. When the time comes, I will move back to the motherland.

It's no different from what goes on in my home state on a constant basis, and has been going on for the last 50 years.

The real shameful part isn't that they're defrauding the welfare system because, let's face it, 99% of the welfare recipients out there would pull the exact same scam if they were smart enough to think of it. The real shameful part is that the government has set up a system that will pay that kind of money to a single mother. They're focusing on the father actually being in the house, the part that bothers me more is the fact that if he wasn't there the government would have no problem with paying someone $85K a year for babysitting. Who in their right mind thinks a single mother should be able to collect $85K of taxpayer money a year for child care?

But the Vikings do suck! grin

I'd bet that the 10 bank accounts are for check kiting or money laundering.

AP and IB classes are graded on a 5 point scale, so outstanding students can earn GPAs greater than 4.0.

I grew up in Minnesota. As much as I enjoyed back then I will probably never move back because of taxes and the government.

Years ago I was in Iowa and spent time helping low income people. They were always moving to Minnesota because of the welfare benefits.
