It is so bloody obvious, that I'm gonna pull the plug on FR, sell everything I own, and move out to Montana. Gonna live in a cabin with nothing but a couple houndogs and my guns. Turn me loose and set me free!

NOOOO... please, stay in California. Please. We're still trying to get over the Freemen and the Unabomber.

1. Are you in Montana too?

Won't it be a shock to this fool when we elect Brian Schweitzer next year!

[eileen_d]

3. Oh, yes, I am crossing my fingers on that one!

Schweitzer rocks!
Yes, I'm in Montana. I won't say what city... but it's a "Magic" one.

:hi:

[Ediacara]

5. I'm not in Montana but I want to be in

the future. I love Glacier National Park. I love Great Falls!

How is the nursing demand?

7. It seems like there is a market for nurses

You can find links to some of the newspapers (with classified ads) at http://www.montanaforum.com/

The salaries here, of course, are low compared to the rest of the country, and although housing costs are insanely low, goods and services aren't necessarily.

I love Glacier Park too... hopefully I can move closer to that area someday.

9. I'm working on my

Masters in Nurse Practitioner....Womens Health and Family Practice. I would love to practice in a remote, rural area in need of my services in the future.

Tribal care....High incident of diabetes, kidney failure/dialysis,
OB-GYN.....lots of good stuff!

I always stay at Lake McDonald/Apgar Village at Glacier.

13. Hey, my friend just got her BSN

and her first job was working at a dialysis unit. She just got a job with Indian Health Service (she is Crow). There is a lot of need in the rural areas.

Unfortunately, the summer fires were right in the area where you love to stay... :( I drove around the east and south side of the park in October and you could still smell the smoke. Lake McDonald is one of my favorite places on earth.

Good luck!

15. I heard great things about Boseman University's

Nursing Program! Tell your friend I said congrats and to join the Montana Nursing Association of American Nursing Association. :toast:

she is indeed an....O8) of Mercy.....

[liberalnurse]

12. Thanks for the link....

I'll store it in my Montana favorites!

8. Glacier Park....

isn't how you remember it :-( There were pretty substantial fires there this summer. Hopefully it'll rebound quickly like Yellowstone did.

[liberalnurse]

11. I realize that.....sadly but

I'm willing to watch the rebirth! :)

[greendog]

21. I lived in the middle of those fires last summer....

...the fires were HUGE, but amazingly the damage isn't that bad. The north side of Lake McDonald burned but most people hang out on the south side anyway. The south side of Kintla Lake in the North Fork burned but it didn't burn bad...still lots of green.

Don't be concerned about damage from last summers fires. It's still one of the most beautiful places on earth.

2. Is he gonna raise him a crop of dental floss?

Just wondering....

6. Fresno to a cabin in Lincoln???

Suuurrrrree, he will. Sure. lol.

Hound dogs. kheriste, hound dogs. This guy needs to go to Alabama so he doesn't get his ass shot off by a real Montanan.

[Ediacara]

10. LOL

Lincoln scares me to death and I LIVE in Montana LOL

[eileen_d]

14. I've never been to Lincoln

but there are some towns in the extreme NW part of the state that I wouldn't want to stay overnight in... eesh.

[Ediacara]

16. WAIT A SECOND

Rimjob wants to move out here!?

Good Christ I'd better hurry up and get my BS and get the fuck out of here!

[eileen_d]

17. ROFLMAO - yes, it is old Rimjob himself

Probably just trying to scare his fellow freepers into donating more money.

Can you imagine living next door to that guy?

"Good morning, you commie liberal traitor."
"Good morning, you narrow-minded fascist."

[ldoolin]

20. That reminds me

Anyone heard of a folk singer named Utah Phillips?

There is a very funny story on one of his CDs about a friend of his, a hardcore lefty, who owned property adjacent to the Aryan Nations compound in Idaho.

Needless to say these were not neighbors who got along very well. :)

18. That's where all the crazy RW militia people live...

in Montana.

[eileen_d]

19. Yeah, I get that all the time. n/t

[havocmom]

22. Maybe it is because of no money for textbooks

A couple summers ago we had a pair of lads from the midwest show up near here. They hitched rides and stole cars to make the trip. They were about 9-11 years old! Decided to come out west, find some land to homestead, get wives and settle down.

Local law enforcement (all 3 of them) had a dickens of a time catching the little rascals! They lads were so afraid of "hostile Indians" that they hide out in the breaks whenever anyone came around! When captured, these desparado/pioneer-wannabes were very hungry, dirty, thirsty and extremely ill-informed. All of us in Tiny Town were wondering what sort of history books they are using in the midwest that boys that age would think they could just move west, stake a claim and live off the land!:eyes:

Who knew Tom and Huck were alive in this day and age?

Notice to Freepers, arian racists and other narrowminded twerps thinking they yearn to breath free:

1)Montana is now full of espresso shops and yoga classes.

2)The general population is a tad provoked with the influx of idiots driving property values up over what the locals can afford and giving the place a bad name.

3)There are wild animals that eat your flowers and pets, the weather will sometimes bring things to a complete halt, there are dirt roads which are impassable at the most annoying times, and nobody is gonna fix these conditions no matter how much whinning you do. Oh, yeah, more and more folks here are bitching about the bush* administration and the course the neocons have set for America.
