ANSWER TO REALITY CHECK -
7/21/2006SOUNDS LIKE YOURE A CALIFORNICATOR! ARE YOU CRAZY? ANY IDIOT WOULD KNOW NOT TO LISTEN TO YOUR GARBAGE! THERE ARE MUCH BETTER SCHOOLS IN A LOT OF PLACES. AND YOUR SIMPLE MINDED STATEMENTS LIKE "LIVE WHERE YOU WORK" WILL NOT WORK THERE AND YOU KNOW IT!

TOOK THE MONEY & RAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
7/21/2006i MOVED TO HELL HOLE 12 YRS. AGO FROM CHGO. AND FOR 12 yrs. i worked hard at making it my home. WHAT A TERRIBLE JOKE! THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO JUST LOVE IT THERE AND I STILL CANT UNDERSTAND WHY. I WORKED FOR THE STATE AND DID IT EVER SUCK. TURNOVER IS EXTREMELY HIGH AND SO ARE THE BACK STABBERS. ITS A RIGHT TO WORK STATE AND THEY TELL YOU THAT MEANS 'ANYONE CAN GET A JOB HERE", BUT WHAT IT REALLY MEANS IS: WE CAN (AND WILL) FIRE YOU FOR ANY REASON ANY TIME WE WANT.
TRAFFIC IS EXTREMELY BAD. IN 2001 I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND AM STILL IN A WHEELCHAIR TODAY. THE GUY THAT HIT ME HAD MINIMUM INS. AND IM LUCKY HE HAD ANY! THERE ARE DOZENS (HUNDREDS?)OF CRIPPLED (AND DEAD) PEOPLE FROM THE TRAFFIC THERE. THE HEAT MUST FRY THEIR BRAINS! AND THERE IS NO WAY TO ESCAPE IT. THERE ARE NO ALTERNATE ROUTES! AND THERE IS NOTHING TO DO.!!!!

Diamond in the Ruff-64804 -
5/31/2006While traveling my car broke down in Joplin. I was forced to stay for a while and turns out I never left. There are four beautiful seasons here, and I find the winters mild. The air is clean, the people are great and the prices are very reasonable. I purchased a nice 3 bdrm/2bath home on an acre(deck, fireplace) for $129. Gasoline here is $2.49/gal. It is known as the 4 states area (bordering OK.,AK., & KS.) smack dab in the middle of the US. Ive lived here 6 mos. and have met many people like me, who stopped for a visit & just never left. It is growing rapidly and there are folks here from all over the country. 2 great hospitals and Southern Missouri University. Unemployment is 4.1%.
