oh my goodness, how horrible for her. do they have a reason for the death. i am scared for all pregnant women, i worry so much about that listeria thing.
$97 for a battery for a car that we are trying to sell but NEED so Pat can get to work??!!
the cord was wrapped around his neck, worst thing was Candy didnt want the baby he was a product of marital rape, she looked at adoption but was unable to get the 'father' to sign off on it so she decided to keep the baby about a month before it died......I think thats what affected her the most that she didnt want him then when she decided to keep him, he passed away

Mine got their fresh start this week Reporter. If they don't improve, I am going to hold them both back a year and HS them. I am tired of fighting it, and teachers talking to me like I'm an idiot, and the kids looking at me like stupid cows, I don't GET IT? Well no **** Sherlock, the F was my first clue!!
Argh!

My inlaws live in Vegas. It's not exactly family-friendly, and the local economy is the same as here. They would come back here if they weren't tanked on their house out there.
But the cost of living is a lot cheaper out there than it is here, isn't it? At this point, houses are super cheap there right now (which means a good time for us to buy) and we would only go if dh had a good job with his company secured. Supposedly, he would get a raise. We could get a nice house for $600-$700 a month, taxes included. HUGE differenece from back here. Problem is, we would still have our house here. Probably would have to rent it out, not sure what else we could do.
i have to agree with kathy, i just did not want to be discouraging. friends of mine finally got to move back here from vegas. they tried it twice. it was dreadfully depressing for them. a lot of suicides, homelessness, and drug problems in their area. it really took a toll on her mental health. they are very happily living in appleton wisconsin now. they grew up in this area.

Cost of living they say is more. The water prices are horrific, the groceries more expensive than here, etc. Utilities are high.
Vegas is a made place in a desert. No proximity to natural water, the power grid, etc. It is not a nice place to live, generally. There is quite a lot of crime, and my ILs live in a really nice gated community.
houses are really cheap here too. my cousin is picking up a second home as i type for 48K today. closing on it in 15 min. out in the countryside. also wisconsin schools have a very high rating. badger high especially.
Oh crap, that's not what I wanted to hear!

PS Vegas:
There are a LOT of vagrants/homeless people. And the $600-700 a month house is usually in a cul-de-sac full of empty, foreclosed homes.
It really is very similar to here or Ohio in terms of the local economy.
I mean if you have to live some place, you make the best of it, but I would not move there (even tho DH has expressed a desire to and we have spent lots of time researching, talking to the ILs, and visiting). Nope. Bad crime, bad schools, high COL, no thanks.

I know...property taxes around here suck really bad though. And, if you look at the houses that I've been looking at lately, they are newer (less than 10 years), bigger and nicer in the $80-$100k range. Even here, with the ****ty economy, my house is appraised at $127,000 (which is $75,000 less than 5 years ago). The houses in Vegas are MUCH nicer and newer in a super lower price range than what we can get here (with WAY lower taxes).
I really really appreciate the input from you guys! I am just dreaming I guess. I am ready for change. Maybe I could get a house on the same street at the Sister Wives and become BFFs with them. I love that show!
OT but I can't believe how much Badger has changed and grown since I graduated there in '91.
Paula?! Is that you?
My BIL and FIL lived there for about a year then came back. I agree w/ the other posts, especially costs and crime. I wouldn't recommend living there. How about Texas?I love it there!
The only reason Vegas is even an option is because of my husband's company. They only have two distribution centers, here and Vegas. With the economy, I would never in a million years move across the country without a secure job already lined up, kwim? He has a really good job, otherwise we would have moved awhile ago!
