BastillePark Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 32 minutes ago, Mr. Not said: I agree hold Georgia - i stayed in St Simmons Island for a night in an airbnb and the beach there was very nice. nothing exceptional though i guess.. but the best part of my trip was all in TN, North Carolina, and Florida which of course was my favorite - very relaxing there. My grandmother used to live near St Simons and when we'd visit we'd go there and Jekyll Island a lot. It's a great place to go but there are a lot of tourons in the summer, especially on St Simons Island. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRogers Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 38 minutes ago, Mr. Not said: Politics / affordability was a big motivator for why i visited, and i have to say that between the politics, the people, the atmosphere, the nature/climate (which is the most important factor for me) I only grew to really appreciate CA a lot more, which I never thought would happen. I'm not going to pretend like it's the best place to live as a cope, cause i do feel that im kinda stuck here, but it could be a lot worse. I think most of the west coast + "suicide belt" / canada is similarly beautiful. honestly this is the first time i've done any serious travelling, before this i'd only ever been to CA, Alaska, Oregon, and FL. nowhere else. More on the ground research is necessary but I'm feeling the Atlantic coast with an ocean view is my future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I don’t know if food just seems expensive because of our tight budget, or if the Walmart prices in AR are about the same as the prices at Walmart in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss doing my grocery shopping at Aldi. Winco was too expensive, so I relied on Aldi and the Dollar Tree a lot. Now, I have to rely on Walmart and it sucks.

jamie Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 The Dollar Tree out here kinda sucks too, but it’s a good place to get snacks and that weird boxed milk that isn’t refrigerated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, the gulf side in the panhandle area is nicer. Heck there's even a Niceville, FL but you'd have to settle for a bay view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be the cheapest place around! But once every other store became more expensive, so did WinCo. I eventually had to stop going there because I couldn’t justify their price hikes. I do miss their bulk section, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That One Guy Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 30 minutes ago, BastillePark said: Up to? I'm 6'1". I weighed about 175-177 before all this. I was wanting to lose perhaps 3 lbs but had not been successful. I got down to 157-158, looking like a skeleton. I'm up to about 160 now. Another 5-10 pounds will be good. After that I can stop force-feeding myself. Tricky to gain weight when you're exercising and eating very healthy. I can't just throw cheeseburgers and chocolate at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
