What state should I move to now the Washington State legislature is trying to force me to work seven days a week? (HB 1155)

Does anybody have any insight into the best states for nurses as far as pay, cost of living, etc?

I'm happy to give my fish away as long as those with more fish than they could ever need also give their fair share of fish to help those without any fish.

They're never going to part with their own fish. They're just going to keep "redistributing" your fish to themselves first, then to the people who keep electing them for the free fish.

Eventually the people doing all the fishing move away to where they can hopefully fish in peace. That leaves less fish to be redistributed. The managers of the lake will continue to pay themselves first, then throw a few fish to their constituents.

I did love that show - did you know that crab fishing is the most dangerous occupation in the world?

I was thinking more along the lines of a lake a pole and shade tree by the shore. Just me, a line and a fish waiting to be caught. It teaches you to slow down, practice patience and save your energy to land a big catch!"

I'll take the bait. I am Fintastic bait!

When we lived in Oregon, we used to LOVE going crab fishing! It entailed sitting on the dock in a folding chair with a beer and every 15 minutes, pulling up the crab rings from over the side of the dock to see if you caught anything.

I miss fresh Dungeness.

The only fishing I do is in my parents freezer(s). They go fishing in Alaska twice a year and bring back enough fish to last us through the apocalypse.

If it weren't for them then all my fishing would be done at Costco. ?

This pointless line of conversation that you started when you tried to insult me by lying about how you read all bills and your mind is "boggled" that there is anyone out there who is too stupid to not READ (in all caps) any bill that might affect them (meaning pretty much all bills.)

As for the bill, I didn't read it, but I know it's not "very interesting." I'm open to being proven wrong, but I would be willing to bet a lot of money that there is nothing "very interesting" in this bill.

And here I thought the whole thread was sort of tongue in cheek. Evidently not.

Carry on.

By “Californiaized” I assume you mean “liberal”?

I thought she meant "expensive." I'd love to move back to Seattle, but I cannot afford it any more.

Idaho is pretty darn cold in the winter.

And it's mountainous, so snow. Bad roads and snow. But beautiful.

Yep, I'm living on the western edge of Montana, now. About half an hour from the Idaho border. Winter was pretty damn cold (but no worse than Minnesota or Denver, which I'm used to), but holy cow, is it breathtakingly beautiful here.

My aunt, born in 1918, grew up on an Oklahoma wheat farm. We went to see her parents a lot in summer. The food was SO GOOD. Fresh vegetables and vine fruits, chickens and eggs, fresh milk, their own butchered beef and pork. They went into town about once a month.

She told me that when she was a kid all ten kids got a small treat from town. She always asked for a can of sardines. That was the only fish she had tasted until attending the community college at age 18.

When she fell in love with and engaged to my Mom's brother he took her fishing. He promised her she could have all the fish she could eat. He took all us kids fishing.

After retirement they spent winters in a converted school bus camping on the Texas gulf coast. My uncle fished every day. The freezer was filled with fish. She had enough to bring back to Oklahoma and have fish frys at the church.

My user name in in honor of my beloved aunt and uncle.

No need to discuss it in the past tense. We are three weeks into the 15th season of the show.
