Finally managed to get my relocation to Tennessee approved by the big multi-national bank I work for. Used a medical exception, a large medical file and several doctors letters saying Chicago area winters are brutal on my Ankylosing Spondylitis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and peripheral neuropathy in my feet and lets.

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.
Good for you!
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.
It's a gardeners Mecca. I have Banana trees, lime trees, fish pond fountains(to remove mosquitoes from the area naturally), Sweet Bays, Fuku Persimmons, and pear trees. The yields on the pear trees are mind boggling. Too hot for apples, cherries, grapes, rhubarb, horseradish, asparagus, and potatoes. Sweet potatoes will grow as big as basketballs.
Sounds like the right move!
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!👍👍👍
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
If I remember correctly, Pete Hegseth made the move to Tennessee a while back and loves it.
Congrats US Conservative!
I hope it works out wonderfully for you.
Pingaroo BRO!
Too late! Bought my home in SE Tennessee, closing Oct. 30th. Memphis is the whole other side of the state away from where I'll be. No more big towns for me, and as God is my witness I'm NEVER leaving Tennessee once I get there.
Been wanting to move there for 20 years.
We moved to Tennessee 30 years ago. No regrets.
I'm good with that! I hate the cold weather, I'd rather mow the acre I bought than shovel snow!
Congratulations
I am almost jealous...Tennessee is a beautiful state.
