Basically, I'm a major slip and fall hazard because I don't feel my feet. I'm unable to go outside in snow/ice conditions because I can (and have) break bones.

My medical file of surgeries due to the damage of my Ankylosing Spondylitis, broken bones, broken back, broken arms, wrists, ankles, ribs just over the last ten years almost reads like a medical journal.

I'm still getting over the knee reconstruction I had on my right knee LAST OCTOBER where I slipped and wrenched my knee so badly it tore my meniscus in half, created tissue damage and a hematoma. And they found Ankylosing Spondylitis in my right knee. Yee haw.

Moving to Southeast Tennessee after my close at the end of this month. Already have friends down there and they say they've been waiting for me.

My two sons are also in Tennessee. Moved them down there three years ago this December. They'll both be relatively close by so if Dad has another fall and breaks something again, they'll be nearby enough to help if needed.

I'm also getting ready to retire. Working until March 2027 to get my 20 years in at the bank and the bump in my pension as a result. I'll be 64 and still "young enough" to enjoy life and see all the National and State Parks in Tennessee.

Honestly, once I get to Tennesse, I'm likely NEVER leaving the state.

Good riddance to Illinois, the crime, murder, mega-high taxes and the fattest, worst, most tyrannical Governor in the country, JB Prickster. Gov. Fatso can kiss my lily white ass October 30th. I'm outta here.

FREEDOM!!!

Dude, Pritzker just bought Buckman Chemicals in Memphis Tennessee. He beat you here. Don’t bother.

Didn’t I once hear someone say “JB Prick”

Sounds about right.

Very, very best of luck to you. Stay young, youngster. Great to have family on which to lean, from time to time, isn’t it? God bless.

If you move to Tennessee, you’ll have to put up with having to mow the lawn starting February.

*shudder.

You could say Pritzker has already planned to flee Chicago, and the state of Illinois. He’s just making smoke to hide his plans. I think he’s taking on an assignment to make Tennessee a blue state, home base being Memphis.

AS- that’s rough stuff. I don’t have it, but I was tested for it once.
Congratulations on getting out of this God-forsaken state. I am happy for you. Hopefully there are enough God fearing there to keep that state from turning blue. Milder winters-awesome. My best wishes!👍👍👍

If I remember correctly, Pete Hegseth made the move to Tennessee a while back and loves it.

We moved to Tennessee 30 years ago. No regrets.

There is a reason why Trump won Tennessee by nearly a million votes.

Same disease as Mick Mars from thr band Motley Crue. Haven’t listened to their trash in years but I remember seeing him talk about it. Nasty business. You have my prayers in your suffering.

Good riddance to Illinois, the crime, murder

Umm. Ever heard of Memphis?

And, as for taxes, sales tax up to 9.25% depending on where you live.

Good for you!
I relocated to one of the most anti
individualist states in America
some 25 years ago. It is called Hawaii.
Being born and raised on the West coast
of the US, Hawaii was a natural
choice to re-locate to.
Having lived on the side of a mountain
in WA state for 20+ years I’m no
stranger to snow and ice, falling down, and
cars getting stuck.
I have similar physical problems as you do.
But what I don’t have is being stuck in a place
that is cold and miserable weatherwise.
The government SUX here, but they are so inept,
(Stupid Democrats), that I do pretty
much as I damn well please.
My family is all on the mainland,
but I have a very extended family of friends
that I have developed here. I have 6 yrs
and younger kids rampaging all over my
property. We attend Barbecues
with their parents and grandparents
since they live on my property.

My point is this; select your escape place carefully.
You can escape the Democrats, and watch as their
castles crumble and fall. This is not very Christian of me
But I could care less if every Democrat city in America disappears. Every intelligent, critical thinking person has or will leave those cities.
Let the Scum lay in their filth!
