I was born and raised in the same state my entire life.

I've been to New York and LA and I wouldn't consider living in either place. Too many people jammed up like sardines. I like to hunt and fish. I'm five minutes from the lake and I can be in a treestand in the middle of nowhere in less than an hour. My kids and I went and played frisbee golf this morning and there were only two other cars in the parking lot when we got there. Wide open spaces for me... good luck.

The best place in the world is Nashville,Tennessee. Y'all come down now, y'hear?

I feel like my boss is starting to get too nosey.

Maybe she's just trying to be talkative. It doesn't sound that nosey to me. Heck I ask more personal questions than that to strangers all the time. Ask her some really personal questions back is what I'd probably do, but then I'm a sandwich shy myself.

Being a groomsman

Yeah you have to throw a crazy bachelor party for whoever's getting married. Do you know the best man? Are you the best man? If you are it's all on you. A trip to Tijuana, Mexico's red light district is a good idea. It's a lot cheaper than Vegas. Plus I think peyote is legal there... It's a dirty job but somebody has to do it, but think of it as your friend's last few days of freedom.

Movie Rant: Fighting with My Family****SPOILERS**

I don't know anything about whatever movie you're talking about, but I just watched a movie with Vince Vaughn. It was called Couples Retreat and it was pretty funny. The girls were spectacular if nothing else.

Do you have no kids just you and your old man? Yeah buy a psychedelic VW microbus and drive cross country until you find some place you like. Listen to the vibes. Don't pay attention to the first answer... live off the land.

Slower paced state like California? That's what I think of when I think of west coast. I'm not sure it's any slower in LA than anywhere in Virginia unless maybe you live right by Washington DC.

Do you want to leave VA or is it just your husband? It doesn't sound like you came up with this idea. It is a big deal to move somewhere if you don't know anyone there. It's a lot easier if you have family or friends, or is that the reason you want to move? I moved away from Indiana but the only ones there were my mom and dad. My brother and sister had both already moved out of state. Finding new friends that I could trust like the kids I grew up with was the hardest part for me.

But yeah I wouldn't move out west without a job for sure. Are you like a nurse or a teacher who can get a job in any place in the world? Or maybe you just have enough money to last a year, did you hit the lottery for $100,000? That would help. I'd have a job and a place to live before I packed my stuff. Maybe not 25 years ago when I was your age though. Well I had 5 kids under 8 years old when I was 32, I wasn't going anywhere. I needed all the in-laws I could find just to babysit, ha.

Advice needed.

Sorry you're not doing well. I don't understand your problems enough to give you any advice but try to find a little bit of happiness in every day. Sure most of life is ****shit but every once in a while you can steal some time for yourself and sit back and enjoy it. I can't tell you to do what I do because it would probably be illegal or immoral where you live but whatever you need to do to put a smile on your face I'm all for it.

Another investment type question....

People still default and the laws protect them. Being a landlord is hell, my dad owned rental property and it was insane what people could get away with. Move in, never pay rent, trash your property and stay 90 days. If they're pregnant it's about impossible to evict them. I guess it depends on the economic health in your area.

Like board games?

Man that's a little busy for me. I play golf online at WGT and it's a blast. The most fun is talking to strangers for an hour while you wait for the other people to hit.
