Are you plannin to move closer to your family and away from the area where you live now?

Right now, everything is rockin along ok, but he may turn quite ugly because he isn't getting his way and you need to protect yourself and your children.  Have you changed the locks on your house? Are there other ways he can get into the house and if so, you should take care of that immediately.  Have you had the locks changed on your vehicle.  If not, you need to also do that immediately.  Does the school have the papers so that he can't walk in and take your children out of school or pick them up after school? 

Believe me, I am glad you made the decision that you did, but I want you to know that I see on TV all too often, disgruntled husbands that come back and get revenge.  I don't mean to scare you, rather to let you know that because I went through a similar situation, you cannot take this lightheartedly.  If you can move away, far away from him and be close to your family, do it. 

What would it take for you to be able to move back where you family lives?

Broken down once, never again.

I would get out of Dodge, between that and the rotties.

and Clearwire is also not available.  I have the satellite service. It is expensive - you have to purchase the equipment and pay for the installation ($600 and up). The service is expensive too ($65).  The speed is not quite as fast as DSL, but I download and upload jobs with no problem.  Some MTSOs won't allow satellite service, citing security issues, which is dumb.  It's like any other wireless service - you have to make sure your signal is secure, which you do through your computer (not the service itself).  Even this is ridiculous in remote areas for 2 reasons: 1) I really don't think anyone is going to bother camping out on my land or drive down my mile-long driveway with their laptop just to see if they can pick up a signal and 2) even if they did, they can only gain access to the internet itself - they can't see what you are doing online.  So this security issue thing is baloney!  Also, in 2004 when we were hit by Hurricanes Charlie, Frances and Jeanne, there was no phone or cable service for nearly a month, but I was still able to work by just using our generator for my computer until the electric came back on - those that had dialup, DSL or cable were outta luck.

I may possibly be moving there.  What can you tell me about it?  The school systems do not matter as we no longer have children at home.  What areas are nice to live in?  I read that when it snows it usually melts the same day....is that true?

Any information from someone who lives there or has lived there would be much appreciated.

TIA

Of course you can buy a big house for 130,000 in a smaller town and the same amount won't buy you a pot to pee in, in a place like San Diego or the D.C. area.  It's all relative.

in the Independence, MO area.  The city governments have passed laws banning pit bulls and last week something like 100+ pitbulls were picked up by animal control or dropped off at the city pound and all were destroyed.

Personally, I think the owners of these animals should be held just as accountable as the dog.  Well, I guess maybe putting the owner to sleep is a bit extreme.

I'm so sorry about your lab.

1.  of any murmurs.

2.  funduscopic exam

3.  Eyegrounds??

you said you have no husband, no kids.....so, you are free as a bird!!!  You would be surprised at what can happen when you change your entire environment.

Good Luck!

So, two days a week I get to see the world!  HA!  I am a Mom of two.  I start working around 8:30 a.m. and take frequent breaks.  I love hitting the grocery store on a Tuesday mid morning with all of the Mom-Moms and Pops-Pops, and it sure beats the rush on the weekend around here anyway. 

I work for about an hour at a time and then break.  I cannot stay glued to the screen as it gives me a headache.  I am very successful and very productive (at least I like to think so).  I do have my own accounts to service, so it makes it hard for vacations, but we get by. 

I do work weekends, but not consistently.  Weekends are actually most productive for me since there's not a lot of running around and everyone is ready for couch-slouching by the weekend in my house other than the occasional running one of my kids to a friend's house. 

Oh and I should mention, I absolutely love the flexibility of being an IC.  I am my own boss and find it much easier when I need time off to just simply ask myself, "Self can I have a few hours off to go shopping!"  LOL

the Pillafeens!  I mean Phillipines

Of course, I lived in a mobile home at the time, so it wasn't that bad, but really there was nothing else I could do.  I tried talking to them, being nice to them, yelling at them, nothing worked.  They would agree with whatever I said, then leave the dogs out, TIED UP, about 6 feet from my back door.  It was awful.  I used to go to work crying I was so tired.    I sympathize.
