Do what I did and go to a place where you are rarely In The Game so you aren't emotionally invested. Do the opposite and live on the SE coast or inland waterway when you can take advantage of the bays and ocean for 7 months and get the occasional snow event. Semi-retire and enjoy jet skis, ocean, fishing and hunting. There are some nice Inland Lake communities in Southwestern Virginia or North Western North Carolina that cash in more than Parrs Ridge.

Chiefs claimed him because they lost Okafor to an injury on Sunday, so they are hoping he can be a situational pass rusher I guess. He has tended to run out of gas this time of year later in his career, and wasn't doing much for Arizona. I doubt the Ravens would have wanted him if he had cleared waivers. Who were they going to drop from their roster just to give Suggs, who chose to leave, the chance to some back and win a SB? I don't think that would have gone over too well in that locker room.

Lol actually with the super big hecs because of upslope and crazy high ratios we usually do really well here then also. What happened last January with that inverted trough feature was super rare. Usually the only time dc/Balt does appreciably better is a rare progressive slider that barely got good snow to DC/Balt. Events with get big totals there and not here are rare.

Events with get big totals there and not here are rare. I know and highstakes' post was poking fun at the "mythical fringe" that rarely happens. Better snow climo is just a byproduct of where we want to live. We want big rolling views, large property, modest home. Downsize and simplify while getting the F out of the rat race. Our eventual final destination may end up much further north like VT or NH. That's too far away to think much about though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried pretty hard too. Now that they both graduated they both wish they went to CC first. The good thing is neither is saddled with much student loan debt. They both have some but very manageable. That's actually part of my plan as I made them take some loans to have some skin in the game. It's def working as they realize that they need to get to work and start paying the loans back. It wasn't as hard putting kids through college as I first thought but it wasn't easy either... that's for sure. I'm more prepared for the next round and I have 4 years before having to deal with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC seems the better choice for my oldest. I would have loved for him to learn a trade and avoid college altogether so he isn't saddled with debt. Trade work these days isn't something to be ashamed of anymore. People rather pay $$$ for stuff they don't have to do. But in any case, I've been doing a 529 plan for him for years so whatever is in that will help pay for some college. As for the other two, I'll have to see. One is an athletic nut and will likely play HS sports. Maybe she will punch her own ticket for college. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 As someone who went to Community College for the first few years before 4 year, it was a blessing. I got to stay close to home, get my Gen Eds out of the way, worked part-time and saved like $50k for college by doing so. If anyone reads this and is thinking of going to college, I highly recommend doing this IF AND ONLY IF you know the credits will transfer where you want to go. Do your research and work with an adviser. It's so important and very helpful. Congrats to all in here that have kids graduating or going to college. That's an awesome life accomplishment to say, "I kept this human alive long enough for them to further their education. I deserve a beer!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
