well im only 13 now but i am fantasizing about where i want to live when i grow up. I live in Michigan right now. I think i don’t want to live here forever but you never know. Here is my criteria: no hurricanes, it needs 4 seasons, as little danger and crime as possible (I am planning on a family), I would like the land to be hilly it dosent have to be mountains just not all flat (partly because i love to ski and its pretty), and one with a very very minumal amount of tornados. here is my main problem I know I am going to have a horse barn on my property so I want to live a little out in the country at least but i really like to shop and be fasionable so I want to live near a big enough safe town (city). I also think I want to be a orthodontist. Is there any place like this?

I wasthinking maybe in Pennsilvania or maybe in Illinois outside of Chicago or maybe thats to crime filled.

please answer with as much info as possible and if you live there tell me about it. thanks
I know that I need to go where my job will be but based on my criteria where should i live

Im needing any info I can get for the area. Ive looked at online papers and rent is a bit high in F. Atkinson, but what about smallish towns around?
What about weather, tornadoes?, are the roads hard to deal with in the winter?
We have a 5 yr old that will be starting 1st grade next year when we move there, so what about the schools?
Im an LPN so a job shouldnt be that hard for me to come by. My hubby is going through police academy down here in Jan also.

Thanks any help would be appreciated,

This is hard to make sure i get in every little bit of info i feel is needed without making this a huge question (sorry if it’s too long but i can use your kind words!)
My husband to be is the bread winner, I stay home with our son, he feels because he buys everything & pays for bills & things like that, he is exempt from cleaning up the house. So he is not much help as far as that goes, & I know a lot of you may think this is ridiculous & what a jerk? (am i right?) Well in a way he’s right, I get the privilege to be lazy & do what i want everyday, he gives me money when i need it, he takes good care of us, he just thinks my JOB is to clean & cook (which i agree, I have it good! & i don’t deny that but tend to take advantage of it i suppose….) but i wish he would help out just once in a while, especially now that i’m pregnant again, he doesn’t understand how tired I am.
AND OUR SON! Oh my gosh!! he is my little tornado, he seems to think everything belongs on the floor, he’s been getting into things like crazy (in the last few weeks which is not normal) I try to get him to help me clean up, we sing the clean up son from barney & he’ll start doing something but when i help he stops doing it & lets me do it, if i ask him to do something (such as clean up your legos in your bedroom) It is like pulling teeth & i end up getting more stressed over asking him to do something, He is only 3 (4 end of may) I think he should help with little things, but I just don’t know how to get him to help me, with effort & not having to ask like crazy…… with my fiance, I’ve talked to him about this many times & told him i don’t expect much & some days he’ll do things like pick up & clear some stuff of his coffee table which is always cluttered with who knows what! I get really irritated when he takes our car back & forth to work & such…. & i won’t drive it for days, & he thrashes it & i just get so sick of "bitching" excuse my language, but I feel like such a nag, nag on my son, nag on my man……
Any ideas? or examples of what you do to get a little more help around the house?
Are you a stay at home parent?
Thanks for your time

Ever since 2004 and Katrina these idiot Meteorologist predict a busy hurricane season, I think they are buying into the global catastrophe theories that the Discovery channel is burning out. I want a job where I make 100000. a year, wrong 90% of the time and still don’t get fired.

I was just sitting here thinking about the high gas prices and the future. I drive a daily route that somedays consists of 200+ miles round trip by the time I get back home. Its my job and im glad to have one. I have cut,trimmed and am doing everything I can to counter the high gas prices.Im now just looking down the road a bit and was wondering,
"what impact would a large Hurricane or two, say a cat 4 or 5 in the Gulf do to the already high prices at the pump?"

I am thinking about relocating.. I want to be in the suburbs or just outside of.. rural..but not too much. Safety is a huge concern. Where I live in Wisconsin the crime is very very low. The roads are not at all whatsoever congested. Which is why there are hardly any car accidents. I like that and will miss both. However.. I fell in love with the beauty of Oregon. Wisconsin has beauty also.. I would actually consider staying.. if there were more jobs and less brutal winters. There is a lot of land here.. but the tornado threats scare me. I want to buy land one day to build a home.. and with the tornados its hard to imagine here. Winters don’t allow you to go anywhere.. and you call out of work a lot. I am an Esthetician.. who works at a day spa. This is my career.. Will I be able to find work prior to coming there somehow? Or once there? I have a liscense. It would be a shame if I can’t .. but.. don’t want to find this out once there. I am paying for rent 650.00 a month for an apartment… only and I pay all utilities which brings that way.. way .. up. So.. Oregon seems to be more affordable.. with more beauty.. Here its all farm. No mountains.. A Lot of lakes.. but.. I miss the oceans .. light houses etc. How is the economy.. unemployment? Is there a whole sale grocery store. We have Woodmans here and everything is a few dollars less then at a regular priced one. The bakeries and pizza here are horrible. The snow never melts and the single digits.. are freeezing and you can’t get around much. Crime is low.. low low.. and I have to drive a far ways to get places and do things.. I do live in a small small town.. that has many shops .. but other then that. I can’t save here.. from driving far.. hibrinating all winter.. and going stretches when a job is hard to find. Please Help. Thanks

She’s a single mother of two and very poor. She lost her job due to a hurricane and had apparently sold her car about a week before the storm hit. She spent the money on buying supplies for the storm since she had no way to leave. FEMA is gay and will not help because she was living in a hotel. They didn’t even offer to help her pay to stay there. She is now working in the hotel she was staying at but they are paying her only 3 dollars a room to clean and its a small hotel. She needs a car bad and no one will help her or can help her. What can she do?

It is realy sad because they offered her food stamps but no way to get another job or back and forth to this job. Her EX never pays child support and he’s in jail so there will be no "going after him" he’s already in jail so they can’t do much there. POS CPS came to her hotel room after people reported she was prosituting and the kids were eating out of the garbage. This is F’D up since she would never prostitute and I help her buy food and i know there is always food there. CPS caseworkers should be shot IMO and they are lucky i was not there when they said these things. I respect this woman but I cannot help her with a car because I do not make that much. BTW this is the 4th time someone has called CPS on her and everytime they leave with no findings and everytime they never say "Sorry" ever.

I need answers and saving to buy one is hardly an option at this point, she needs to go back to work.

My area was devastated by Hurricane Ike. I went to a POD site near my workplace one day last week during lunch and it was my only visit. There was no power at work at the time but I did have power at home. The only supplies I picked up was 2 bags of ice, 1 case of water, and 3 single MREs. When I got back several people in the office started yelling at me about taking food away from families and children in desperate need. I know 2 of these people who were yelling at me had been going to the POD site every single day (bragged about how much they had stockpiled at home) and neither of them have kids. The next day when I came in to work there was photo of a child starving in Africa taped to my computer along with a note that said "Thanks to you this is what will happen to a family you greedy selfish whore". The only reason I got the supplies is that I had no money except for what little cash was in my wallet, and the cash was needed for gas since I live over 30 miles from my job. The ice and water were because I had been ill for several days and I finally got to a point where I just needed some cold water.
MetalQueen: You are a cold, heartless witch. Until you experience the destructive power of a hurricane first hand SHUT THE HELL UP!

To everyone else: Thank you.

Let me start off by saying, I’m a very organized, clean, neat person when it comes to myself and my job. But for some reson, I can’t seem to bring myself to be like that with my apartment.
My apartment looks like its been raided by the cops, a tornado hit it, and no ones lived there for months.
I’m only 23 but I’ve been living on my own since I was 17. Until the age of 17 I was forced to wake up at 5am every day and clean the house for 2 hours. I’m talking about scrubbing the bathtub with bleach and a toothbrush since the age of 5.
But now, living alone,I just can’t seem to get up and start cleaning. No matter how bad I feel about it and how much I want to change it, I just can’t seem to do it. As soon as I promise myself I will have a weekend of cleaning, I hit the couch and sit there the entire time, almost paralyzed.
I really need to get my home to be the way I picture it.
PLEASE, any suggestions, tips, advice???

My sister is a young single mother of three. She doesnt pick the right men both fathers are scumbags that wripped my sister off for everything she had. She use to have a huge beautiful 3/2 with a backyard and a pool. Then daddy #1 robbed her house of everything forcing her to sell the house that my deceased father bought her. And move into a trailer park. Hurricane wilma came and destroyed her park. Daddy #2 stole the rent money twice. Forcing her to again move out of her home and into mine. So now we have 9 people living in a 3/2 house. I’m asking for whatever you can. Diapers are a great donations, bottles, wipes, school clothes and supplies. I’m only asking for things for my sister and her kids. the girls are 8 and 10 going in the 3rd and 5th grade and then jake is 2. If you have clothes or anything for these kids let me know and I’ll send you the address you need to send them too. Thank you.
1. Been to state agencies they only help so much
2. My sister has a job the pays well but she still cant afford it.
3. My sister has been fighting her BUTT off to get these scumbags to pay child support for 7 years.
4. I figured that all the people can help.
5. I know this isant a donation site.
6. Im not asking for the right answer Im asking for help for my sister because our govenment cant help us being a young white woman not a minority she cant get help.

So please if you have the "answer" thats great but Im not looking for an answer im just looking for some clothes for my niece who are growing and are were shoes that have holes in them. Donations is what im looking for not a fucking answer ok. WTF MAN. Im just asking for some clothes and diapers for my sisters kids.
susan g i cant send you a message so message me and ill send you my address thank you so much for your help. A little goes a long way. May the Lord bless you and your family. You are in my prayers.
Have you ever heard of having more then one sister. My sister the artist lives in texas, my sister with the 3 children lives in my house SO you should shut your mouth before you start acussing me of trying to cheat and steal from people because I am a good all american christian woman and I for one dont think that your going to get anywhere in Gods eyes tearing down a 20 year old girl whos just trying to get help for her sister. And yes I would like a camera because ive already given everything i had to my sister. I sold my belongs because i was just a young girl with no worries like children. How dare you. I unlike the rest of the world has a heart of gold I would throw my life in front of a train to save someone. Im not like ever other loser trying to make a buck. Maybe i was wrong for asking for a camera but i actually earn the fact that someone would just give me something. So get your facts straight before you go bringing someone else down.

I’ve moved from south carolina to the state of Tennessee and i’ve heard that tornadoes do occur here more often than in south carolina. some people told me that some tornadoes do form into those humongous F5 tornadoes that are about a mile wide and has winds over 318 MPH. I’ve heard there was once a tornado that was an F5 and killed more than 44 people back in the may 3 1999 oklahoma tornado outbreak but do those occur often ? They also said that once in Tennessee that an F5 occured. I’m really scared because my parent’s job relocated and thats why i have to live in Tennessee. But do those F5 tornadoes happen very often ? I’m really scared to death and i don’t want anything to happen to my home because i got my playstations and my computer and my whole life.

I’ve just moved to oklahoma city in oklahoma where is mostly known as tornado alley, i didn’t want to move but i had to because of my job relocation. Since i’ve heard on television on the news back in 1999 about the deadliest may 3rd 1999 tornado outbreak in history, i never would want to move here if it wasn’t for my job. But does anything like that ever happen here often ? People said that tornadoes here in Oklahoma forms into the deadly F5 tornadoes that is about a mile wide in diameter. What are some ways i could make sure my wife & family is safe during one of these outbreaks if I’m away from home ? Also, how could i keep myself safe if i am on the 34th floor in an building with only express elevators ? The elevators don’t have stops between floors Lobby – 29th. I’m very curious about my family’s safety and mine’s in case if one of these tornado outbreaks occurs

People agree with war,people disagree with war and to anyone who assumes I dont know the whole picture… well I dont. But my last question has a lot more truth to it than some people think they know. We have our own war here. Our own people are killing eachother. I dont see Bush helping Katrina Victims. Or helping tornado victims in tennessee,or our own starving people who cant even get a job because Bush is sending our jobs over to China. I dare anyone who reads this to go into any store, go see where it was made. 90% of the time you wont see USA on the back. So why dont you get mature KEITH and opens your eyes a little bit wider to see the truth.

I live in Minnesota and hate winter. My family and I have been talking about moving to a place with a great climate and I fell in love with the climate and Downtown photos of Tulsa, OK. I was wondering if it is different economically there. Will it be as easy to find a job with satisfactory earnings as it is here? I notices that the cost of living is significantly cheaper. But how much is a gallon of gas, or milk?

I need information on Tulsa, or on other nice places in the US that have a nice climate (preferably not much snow, no hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes or volcanoes. And I am not into cockroaches that are larger than the tip of my finger.

We are also used to living in the outskirts of a Metropolitan area, and enjoy hevily populated areas.

They won’t LEAVE. WHAT can I DO? HELP!!!!!?
My mother and brother came to live with me two years ago after a tornado destroyed their house in another state.

Since then, my husband left for another woman 9 months after they arrived and they are driving me nuts so much that I wish that I could leave.

My brother wakes up all hours of the night. He is 44 years old and hasn’t had a job in 10 years. He is walking around and wakes me up.

My mother is negative and controlling and always sounds as if she will beat you if you don’t do what she says. She is 76. My kids are afraid of her.

I lost my job but I got the house in the divorce so I don’t have anywhere to go because I can’t afford to now.

She follows me around and listens to my phone calls. I once went out in the backyard for some privacy and I found her in the back bathroom listening through the window.

She keeps saving things lie all the little yogurt cups and when i ask her to not do that or simply throw them out, she acts as if I have hot her.

It is not Alzheimers or anything. She is perfectly capable of doing what she wants to do.

I have asked them to leave, I have given them a deadline to leave and they won’t. They have insurance money to rebuild but they keep coming up with excuses.

She does the "I never thought that my daughter would treat me this way" whine when I have had enough and absent myself from the house.

I am losing my mind. What can I do? Has anyone ever had the police come and put their mother out? I can’t make myself do that anyway.
