Thank you so much for taking the time. We’re fine being away from the beach. We have lived 15 mins away from the beach for years and change is good. We enjoying comic cooks, reading, walks, playing with our dogs, gardening, volunteering with animal rescues, kayaking, hiking. We’re not mountain climbers or extremely outdoorsy…I guess we’re mid-40’s out of shape outdoorsy! Just want to be somewhere with clean air, clean water, slow pace of life, boring and/or quaint is totally fine. Mostly we’re moving with southern wages and southern savings accounts which will likely be the thing we have to factor more than anything else!

Anywhere is hip compared to where I am now!

Yes and still good! Just less casual experience.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond! This place sounds lovely - added it to my research list

ENC is def not more progressive. Probably about the same save for pockets like Wilmington in the east and Asheville area in west. We get mostly the Tucker Carlson-lookalike rich people with beach houses flying “Let’s go Brandon flags,” Trump-themed boaters/flotilla folks (not joking or exaggerating) and then the born and raised “rebel nation” country folks. people here absolutely love love love the local culture and I’m glad they’re happy, but I gotta get outta here.

My fiance had the same thing. No updated info needed except his picture.

He procrastinates on things sometimes too (as do we all), but was able to get in to AAA in December. They were scheduling sooner than a month out though, so he got in 2 days before his birthday.

I'm not giving this as advice, because I generally avoid advising people to do illegal things.

If I was in this situation, I would book the earliest possible appointment (considering I hadn't already found a walk-in location), get everything done and submitted online that I can (to have the process started in the system), and then do my very best at driving until then.

I would personally be okay doing this knowing I have a clean record without a history of being pulled over and don't live or travel in an area where cops camp out for quotas.

It's really an odds game. I would play it, because my odds are good.

About teacher salaries, you can often find the district contract on its website or just do a Google search for a town and teacher contract. There will usually be a table that lists salary and the steps. If you work in SpEd, you might consider a master's in ABA.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. Extremely good to know about the teaching requirements and will look into further.

Personally I enjoy real winter! And am especially appreciative after being south for so long. First few years coming from the Midwest it felt like bonus outdoors time. But the novelty wore off FAST.

Thanks. This is a great idea. I don't know of any such place around me, but will keep an eye out.

We’re on southern wages looking to move north so are truly doing this backwards. Maybe it works out for us, maybe not but your state sounds awesome regardless!

Good points - I hadn’t thought about that way!

That’s a great tool. Thank you so much for sharing. Big COL adjustment to prepare for!

No I’m saying people moving here from out of state will take housing away from people already struggling. And the more demand surpasses supply the more prices will increase.

About #3: Are you rich? That's really the main concern.

I've tried both ways and I've decided that planting actual plants is much easier, albeit much more expensive, than seeds. Most large nurseries now sell a native plant brand and some natives are widely sold so if you do research there are more options than you'd think.

Nosh in Concord

Definitely need to be refitted for a new tin foil cap.

And, this is not the fact free newsmax/trump sub.

Dude.

Westwood library is also open on Sundays from 2-5 pm 🌻

Understood ,sorry ,should have guessed

I've never seen such a rant.

I could not. I was not applying for real id, though I got one. Every so many years, you have to show up in person.

Yes, it happened to me. For some reason you can only do the online license several times and then you have to go there.

It was sort of my fault. I got the notice on 2/13. I applied on 2/19. I got the appt for 3/9-12, I forget the exact date. 3 week’s post bday. I realized that day was my annual physical that I had to wait 3 months for, so health trumps license. I logged back in and got an appointment during the week of my bday. It was in Danver, kind of a schlep for me.

Look for any locally owned florist, vegetable farmstand or greenhouse closest to you.

In my experience they are more than helpful to find seeds of any kind and especially ones that are beneficial to pollinating your area.

Are you insinuating they can’t afford housing?
