Hello, a member of the Hippos Team here.

I want to start off by apologizing for the wait that you had to endure. We are constantly trying new methods and procedures to keep our medical patients and new adult-use customers happy.

We recently introduced a solution to the problem we had at our store that we think will make your visits far more enjoyable. We now have a "Medical Express Pass".

When checking in at the front please let the greeter know that you would like to skip the line and they will present you an express pass and a budtender should be with you shortly. Again the Hippos team is very sorry about the experience you had and are looking forward to helping you again!

It needs to be top fucking level.

Side note: long time lurker, first time account maker, first comment. I’m really glad it was on a post about legalized cannabis!

Goodness, I looked at his profile and realized I've engaged him in the past on his posts. He's not.

Thank you so much for your kind words!

I've lived overseas as well, so I understand the "home smell" very well.

I very much appreciate your info on fixer-uppers. I'll reup with Nextdoor and see what's what. Again, thank you!

Thank you for your wonderful answer!

I always become a member of the local library; they're such an awesome resource.

I am definitely going to look into volunteering. First, I'll have to get a car and find a place to live--I'm sure my son won't want to house me forever :)

u/Low_Passenger_3354 is this you again?

These morons live amongst us folks

I've been to eight countries. How many have you been to?

Narrator: He wasn’t.

Bruh what are you even saying... Just comes off as incoherent rambling

Nice bait

After reading your post I have to ask, what the fuck is wrong with you?

Hello and soon to be welcome!

Posting a bit more about yourself would be helpful to plug you into groups but based on what you have posted …

We have so many fantastic greenway trails and parks - close hiking and natural places. You will be able to pick a new place every weekend and be busy for months.

If you are into volunteering in your spare time - we have a plethora of local organizations that always need help and it’s a great way to make like minded friends

Springfield is an okay city for the most part - like any town if it’s size there are less desirable areas but if you mind your own business you will be fine even in those. Lots of local events to keep you busy if you are interested.

I would 100% recommend starting at the library - they often have resources on what’s happening around town.

Admittedly I’ve only seen one episode of sponge bob, he was chasing his pet snail around trying to get him in the bathtub for a bath, I was just thinking to myself “Why does he have to get in the bathtub? You’re underwater. Just grab some soap and shake him around a bit”

I didn’t think their food was very good when I went. Early bird is good for booze breakfast, cedars is good for old people breakfast, and morning day in nixa is good for hipster breakfast. You’re welcome OP

These are all things I like and I would love a thrifting friend (also auctions here are fun)

From MA also, take a deep breath of NE air before you leave. Nothing smells like "home". You'll miss the smells of spring and fall in NE. There will be brands and foods that you won't get down here as well but that cost of living! Huge difference. The area is beautiful. For a city it doesn't feel city-like. Although it has been expanding. You may want to check out Nextdoor.com (Springfield, MO area), it has different groups that you can join, and meet folks with similar interests. Last I knew there was a program available for those who were looking to buy a home in Springfield available through the city. (It's been awhile since I saw it while scrolling through the Springfield gov pages.. think during 2020). You may want to check with the clerk as they are trying to get fixer uppers rehab'd. Overall the folks are friendly and the area provides a decent amount of urban amenities, with country life easily accessible. *One tip on food here.. ham and beans is not a slice of ham with baked beans on the side, it's like a soup and they call a grinder a sub. And welcome soon to be Springfieldian.
