I feel ya.

I just moved into SW Springfield from the desert and really enjoy the area. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to engage with my neighbors and people around me in general. Much more welcoming than I observed in my larger metro area.

Land is cheap too, lots of opportunities to give your puppy lots of room to play.

A lot of people are willing to risk doing it at or before work. That’s why employers minimize their liability risk with drug tests.

Not if you're the least bit under the influence while at work. Same reason you can't do a couple shooters of Fireball before firing up the machinery.

Kate is a fantastic provider. Adore her.

Springfield has a large homeless population and a 30 year strategy of "bulldoze the camps and hope the problem magically fixes itself." Which, unsurprisingly, it has not. It just gets worse. That said, homelessness is not visible here in the way it is in Seattle, so if your issue is that you don't like looking at it, it's better. If your issue is thar cities should operate in a way that doesn't abandon people to die under bridges, it's worse.

Make your own, it's easy!

Use flank steak, cut against the grain. Thickness as desired. I cut mine about 1/4" thick. Soak overnight in a marinade. I use a Sugar free teriyaki marinade, available at Walmart. You can also make a meeting or of sou sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and onion powder... And of course, salt. You can even add liquor or maple syrup if you'd like.

Lay marinaded meat on a cookie sheet and liberally coat with lemon pepper. To make it hot you can add cayenne or red pepper flakes.

Put in the oven at lowest setting, 175°, for 6-8 hours.

Not only is it less expensive than the store bought variety, it's a home made present!

Enjoy!

I didn't know that. 420 is the only drug I'm interested in and it looks like you just legalized it.

Don't do drugs, and if you do, pay your dealer promptly and in full. This is the beginning of wisdom.

Trulia and Zillow say differently

I thought conservative values = less government. This sounds like the opposite.

High expectations of a period blood sausage.

Not sure about Ozark, but they are putting one over by the West Sunshine Wal-Mart! Its definitely still in the early stages of being built, but it is starting to look like something. (I work in the area.)

How cute. It is said that imitation is the highest form of flattery.

And yet I've lived in all 3 of the biggest cities and my family has the highest quality of life - to - debt ratio here.

yep, i popped positive within 30 sec.

What? Liberal? I am a conservative! Who the hell are you calling a liberal!

Next door to the bank and gas station.

dr phils market is a convenience store on north glenstone near valley water mill road that sells good stuff.

Are there other ways we can help you? Do you need resource connections for housing, jobs, anything?

Funnily my daughter works at KUmed, all certified staff have no drug tests because they would be short handed instantly. Sadly I don’t think it covers aides, or lower tech. She wasn’t sure.

IKR, crazy people who are legally liable for workers when they are at work want you to be not under the influence of any type of drug. What were they thinking?
