Hi M&L, this is really a multipurpose thread. Some of us, myself included, get very good recovery advice here, but in between we talk and tell stories.
I am probably one of the least anonymous people here, starting with when my mom, thndrnlitning, posted a picture of my book cover on here. (I didn't mind.) ...And finishing a couple of weeks ago when I posted the link to my baby's tribute page at the funeral home. (Thank you again to those of you who wrote; I still go back in every couple of days and reread what you wrote.)
ANYHOO! The town is Westby, MT. About 20 miles away in Plentywood, are all the Wal Marts and hospitals your heart could desire. Well, enough anyway. It even has churches.
Westby has a few houses and one restaurant that is perpetually for sale.
So glad you dropped in!

I live in a mobile home, and don't own the land. My sons live across the street in one. They are each worth around $200,000. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> The whole thing is ridiculous--that's what it is! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> t&l

Yeah, I was gonna ask that one also....but I didn't want to seem rude.. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Lem It's really this giant, windowless, wooden box just sitting on the ground. That's why it's so cheap. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> t&l

Never heard of Westby...guess I better get my map out!
I do know where Plentywood is. But I'm surprised there are Wal-marts anywhere out there! I guess I'm remembering it all from the old days...and it's been a long time! LOL Getting old.

AJ wants to have a nice little commune, with Neaksis and Mom both living (in their own houses, of course), as neighbors. Why on earth would he want us "living" when between the 2 of us we're worth at least $750,000 dead?!<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> And if I could manage to die in an accident, you could add another couple hundred thousand to that, too! Of course, if Neaksis died, with that money you'd inherit all her kids, too. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> So SHE'S probably safe. However, I'm not sure I'm going on any long walks along canyon rims with any of you anytime soon, dearie! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> t&l

Checked out the weather there.
Mostly cloudy with a 40 percent chance of snow. Lows zero to 5 above. Light and variable winds...Becoming north around 10 mph late.

Kind of makes you want to put on fuzzy slippers and drink hot chocolate, doesn't it?

I grew up in the tropics. Those weather conditions sound, um, sub-optimal (<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />!) to me! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Living, shmivving. This is getting to be an unconscionable amount of English teacher humor at my expense!

I don't know - last night it got down to 38 degrees here. I woke up at 3:30 AM and turned on the heater. Course I don't have a warm body next to me at night.

Oh, I also forgot to put that the house is 4 bedroom 2 bath, two stories, and I forget how many square feet, but I think it's about 2,400.

Wow. Are there any jobs there? For those prices, if you sold a CA house and moved up there, it hardly seems like you'd have to work at all. Grow a garden. Minimal expenses. You could live off the profit from your home sale for a long, long time. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> OK, Neak, you sold me. Now all you have to do is convince your dad and his arthritic knees that those winter temperatures are a good idea, and something to be desired! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Good luck. I'll be here, well out of firing range, cheering you on!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> You can COUNT on it! t&l

No I could make it fine on my retirement. But there's got to be a catch.

Speaking of Hawaii, here are a couple more pictures. I actually thought I posted these earlier but couldn't find where, so if there's duplication, chalk it up to age and encroaching senility. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> No Fat Hula Dancers in THIS Group For all the Hawaiian culture is supposed to value fleshy women, you'll notice that they're not trotting the fat ones out for the tourists!! Eating My Way Across Oahu As you can see, by this time, I was so stuffed I could no longer hold myself up without leaning on something. It was lovely, too. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> t&l
