What horrible people.
Also, I searched the forum and my god - this search was fast today. Did you guys do something to the server ? It had results from 2014 as fast as I hit the search button.
Pet allergies affect millions of otherwise normal, healthy people yet this ultra-sensitive individual has...a dog?
The “KEY” to this whole outrageous BS article is “......moved to blah, blah, to get her degree in disability policy.”
This is all ADA scamania. Money for nothing and BS out the wazoo. If they are truly that allegic to everything then go live at the frigging North Pole. Otherwise, take the easy way out with a Kervorkian cocktail.
“Steen, a neighbor, says he is allergic to computers, Wi-Fi, electricity and ink on paper so he must print off his emails, air them out to dry for 24 hours and then read them”
Crazy.
Read the article. The town they live in is called Snowflake? Wow. Very appropriate.
“Snowflake was not easy to get to. I’d risen at dawn, vomited on a Snowflake was not easy to get to. I’d risen at dawn, vomited on a tiny six-passenger plane, and walked one mile down a busy highway in a town called Showlow (pronounced YOLO, 160 miles from Phoenix), to get to Susie’s car., and walked one mile down a busy highway in a town called Showlow (pronounced YOLO, 160 miles from Phoenix), to get to Susie’s car.”
I gave up on this stupid non story right there. Yolo???????????
SHOWLOW is pronounced ShowLow. At least it was two weeks ago the last time I was there.
the name came from a poker hand between two guys that settled the town. After a falling out, they decided to cut cards to see who went and who stayed. LOSER got the town. Hence the name SHOW LOW.
Since the author decided to take the “tiny six-passenger plane” to Showlow instead of just coming into Phoenix Sky Harbor and rented a car like normal folks. I kinda figure her vomiting is her way of teling lus how far out in the sticks
Showlow and Snowflake are. They ain’t. It is a pretty good hoof out to them, but Arizona ain’t Alaska. US60 to Showlow and SR71 to Snowflake. Both paved and speed limits from 55 to 70. 3 hour drive if memory serves. 4 max. And it is a beautiful trip.
Third point, why did “Susie” not just drive to the airport to pick up the writer?
Just curious.
Better Call Saul!
Everything they said about Snowflake is BS and exaggeration. They make it sound like Snowflake is a town founded and inhabited by nothing but these hippie burnout check takers. It’s a mormon town founded in 1878 by two men settling for the mormon church who had names of Snow and Flake. Clever, huh? The draw is the low cost of living, good weather, and small town freedom. 40 acres for 40k.
The unnoticed, unappreciated gift to the rest of us?
These folks self-segregate.
Snowflake wallpaper: Wet cornstarch on walls, spread heavy duty aluminum foil, smooth with mason’s trowel. Serves too purposes for these folks - eliminated “degassing” from the drywall material and redudes outside electronic emissions.
This thread needs a “WTF?” alert.
Just reading that article irritated me. What a miserable existence.
Has it occurred to you that instead of disparaging these people, to give thanks that you aren’t also infected with the same disabling illnesses.
“Susie had agreed to host us only if we did not seek outside opinion from psychiatrists regarding their condition...”
Because she knows they’d all say she’s cuckoo for cocoa puffs.
I think it is written quite delightfully.
They shoujld just start smoking pot and drinking. Enjoy life. Only someone as rich and miserable as a liberal has time to invent their problems.
