    I love South Dakota. We've often thought about moving there. It is a beautiful, no income tax state. The winters though...we'd have to buy another Florida condo.
     

    Did you mean a no state tax state? 

     

    What you said is still another possibility, the snow bird thing. We have a condo in Tampa... her niece stays in it for now, and a house on 1/2 an acre 20 minutes east of there. I have thought a lot about this too, I Really want to get back to WNY but I don't want to pay the crazy taxes NYS imposes on everyone.

     

    I appreciate everyone's input, a lot of us will be trying to figure out the same thing at some point in time... not all, but quite a few. 

     

    Oh, and no to Arizona lol... don't need 107 kind of heat.

    Is your pop in Fla or WNY? I know Florida gets nailed with mega T-Storms...when we get a front moving in up here,my back screams at me. I always thought a very warm climate was good for arthritis,I don't find that to be true at all...each body is different.Also,I took the turmeric route before,without much success.Just maybe my intake was too low...(sprinkled on eggs mostly).I am currently putting 50 mg's of CBD oil under my tongue twice a day now...some days I feel like a rock star..other days I feel like I want to kill somebody. I think the best climate for a person in my condition would be a place like San Diego...I was stationed there when I was in the service...I know a cat that retired there...he's pain free at the age of 71.

     

    Georgia now... eats a **** ton of blueberries too, guess its the genes.

  3.  

    recntly watched a show that said that South Dakota was the best place and New York was the worst. 

     

    Live in Florida now, have since the 80's but grew up in WNY. No way we are going to stay here on a permanent basis but there is no state tax so that is a big consideration. I would  love to live back in WNY but the taxes are killers... horrible. Anyone here done the snow bird thing? Keep a residence down here and live/rent back home for 5 months out of the year?

     

    Not happening right now but I'm at the edge as my property value keeps going up where I'm at.

    I know it could happen at any restaurant (especially a fast food joint), but my wife and I had....ummm, “an event” of biblical whooshing proportions after we had Popeye’s on a Clemson football Saturday. There are not a lot of bathrooms in Clemson, and far fewer between Clemson and actual civilization. It was a day we wish we could forget. 

    So That's why C.J. stunk it up in Buffalo... case closed.

  5. KFC $5 fillup every once in awhile... original recipe with mashed potatoes.

     

    2nd best is the two fried cod combo at LJS with hush puppys and cole slaw. 

     

    Actually they are a tie for me, both are pretty decent. I miss the days when we had a Captain D's here, good stuff for semi-fast food, the nearest one is an hours drive.

    we have fished maybe 4 times this entire year.   once in February, went to Marathon just as Alberto was getting there to ruin it.  fished twice there and once a few weeks ago.  It's been a tough year to get out.   Trying for one more trip before school starts, but like I said, weather permitting, and boat troubles have bit me this year.   

     

    We've been incorporating turmeric into our diets for arthritis and joint pain.  Not sure if it's working or not.   

    The weather Does suck down here in the summer, I'll take WNY all day long... where you can always put more on if its cold but can only take so much off in the heat/humidity down here. I'm off today and I'm inside... rains just came through again and it is a sauna out there. The birds don't seem to mind though, the feeders are jam packed.

     

    Turmeric is for sure a good one to take anyways... heck, Webers mustard is loaded with it, but another good one for joint pain, arthritis, etc. is plain gelatin. My Dad swears by it and the way he gets around at his age it must be working.

    Can you link Uber/Lyft to pre-paid gift cards?

     

    Try getting blood out of a stone.  Why the hell would you link it to a bank account/debit card?  Get a small limit credit card. Will they let you do that?

    They won't, I've already tried. Other places won't let you either, Sling for instance.

    I do. Not only that being 10 during the riots I know a few who were killed during them. I’ll never forget that day. As the police and ambulances flew by our school our teacher (whose father was a CO) left the room to see what was up. She came back and said there was a riot at the prison. A very good friend was sitting next to me and said “I hope it’s not in my brother-in-law’s block. They don’t carry guns” I told him “what are the chances?” Well his BIL was the first killer. 

    I remember seeing Bobby Seal and around 50 black panthers at a gas station somewhere between Darien and Alden on Broadway then. Some of my friends lost their dads during all of that mess. 

     

    Whoever mentioned Alexander... your cheerleaders were easy, thanks for that. 

     

  9. I dunno, this can't really be that wide spread. I've used Uber maybe 40 times and never had a problem... other than one woman who reeked of old lady perfume. Most have been pleasant to ride with.

     

    The thing is, you get their name, make and color of car/vehicle, their tag number, driving record, etc.

     

    The tag thing though, that really is the crux. It directly ties the driver to a car and usually a place and if someone really wants to find you they will find a way. The retaliation could be on a big time scale so I don't see this being a common day thing.

    Looks nice, but you would have to pay me 1.8 million to move to Studio City, so we'll call it a wash.

    I'd take that deal in a second.

    BTW... Thompson would have been 81 a few days ago. Wish the !@#$er was still around for the **** we have going on nowadays.
