Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Grant? A grant doesn't have to be repaid, loans do... did you get a loan or a grant?

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Well, the university received a federal grant for the new special ed/esl combined licensure program. With that grant money, they provide tuition to students, with the agreement that we'll teach for at least 4 years in special education. -e Re: Where to live? Grant?

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Minnesota is very progressive with good services. So is Wisconsin. However, the cold winter weather is a big draw back. With SMA and using an electric wheelchair, the environment can get down right dangerous at times. And at the very least, inconvienent. > > Hey everyone, > > I had a great realization today.

However, the cold winter weather is a big draw back Hey, we have around 30 degrees most days this January and a couple 50's! Very little snow too. ;o) I'd recommend Madison area, Whitewater or Milwaukee area if you want better services. I don't think that northern Wisconsin has as good of services and medical options. Plus they tend to be more cold and snowy up there. Plus it's nice to just be 3hrs friom Chicago if you want to see " Big City " stuff. Madison has had lots of Special Ed Programs, Alternative and ESL but I have no idea if they are hiring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Here is a list of some of the resources in North Texas: http://www.traditionaltx.us/farm.htm I think it's a pretty good place to live, even if we have had over 25 days above 100 this summer.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I have no experience with other parts of the US, but in Texas I'd say the Austin area is the most progressive when it comes to this; although, there's a lot of good stuff in the /College Station area, as well. -Patty (in Sugar Land) > > Where is the BEST place in the USA to live and follow the WAPF lifestyle? > > This would include local availability of raw milk, pastured meats, etc. > > Thanks! > > Leah > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Northern Colorado. when we were moving here i found so many resources for good foods. you have to buy cow shares, but the raw dairy is plentiful and relatively inexpensive compared to the coasts. lots of grassfed meats. especially in Loveland. i very rarely have to special order anything (except for supplements). amanda I have no experience with other parts of the US, but in Texas I'd say the Austin area is the most progressive when it comes to this; although, there's a lot of good stuff in the /College Station area, as well. -Patty (in Sugar Land) .

Raw milk you have to get from a farmer but everything else is available at farmer's markets. And the salmon and other seafood is amazing - and berries - and it's the home of Bob's Red Mill, the source for a variety of traditional whole grains milled in a traditional way.

And the salmon and other seafood is amazing - and berries - ~~~I second the motion! Here in southern Oregon we have 4 distint seasons, none of which are extreme. I think we've had about 5 days of 100 degrees this summer - unlike when we lived in AZ where we would have months of 100+ degrees - up to 122 degrees! Besides the weather being good for gardening, the soil is rich. Last week we went to a u-pick organic farm and got 32 lbs of peaches for the freezer - yum! And this weekend, on our way to the farm for our raw milk and eggs, we'll be picking blackberries for the freezer. We also have one of the most successful in the nation customer owned coop food stores, lots of artisan bakeries, local or semi local organic grassfed beef, etc, etc. Even our local Food4Less sports a great health food section! Wonderful place to live! And health professionals who are innovative - even some of the so-called allopathic healthcare are open to holistic healing. I've bumped into my FNP buying organic produce at the food coop. And you can mention farm fresh milk or even call it raw milk and people don't look at you funny. In fact they usually recall their childhood growing up on raw milk. Anyway, it's a beautiful place to live. Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact in one area of the city (Seattle), there is a Whole Foods type market (where you can get your milk) and a farmers market right across the street (where you can get everything else). -- Life is too short to wake up with regrets. Love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy. They just promised it would be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 jafa wrote: > > Rhonda, > > Sounds great. What city are you actually in? ~~~Medford. It's been named a Tree City. It's 27 miles north of the California border. Ashland Food Coop is only 12 miles south of us. Ashland is famous for the summer long outdoor Shakespearean Theater and the 100 acres Lithia Park. The farm where we buy our milk and eggs is 26 miles north. The awesome Oregon coast is about 2 1/2 hours away. And for those into skiiing, there's Mt Ashland. Lakes and rivers abound. Only drawback is the cost of housing - not as high as California, but not cheap either. Ok, enough bragging about Oregon. Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Rhonda, I've been there and it is too hot for me in the summer.

Do you know another place in Oregon that isn't quite as hot, but not as rainy as most other places in Oregon? ~~~Other than eastern Oregon, I don't know. If you go with Bend (central OR) or Klamath Falls, you are getting a VERY long cold winter. If you go toward the coast you get the rain, and lots of it. Maybe inland of the coast might work for you. However, jobs won't be plentiful either if you're needing work. Nor will the CSAs, grower's markets, health food stores, etc. Medford's summers run about like this: June is 65 early in the month and 75-85 with a sprinkling of 95-100 for a couple of days. July 4th fireworks requires a sweater. When the County fair hits 3rd week in July we have a miserable 100-107 for about a week, then it cools down to the 90s and even the upper 80s. August is upper 80s-upper 90s, with a sprinkling of 100-103 for a couple of days. Sept mid to upper 80s for the 1st half of the month. Medford's winters are rainy Nov thru Feb - 19 " average for the year, with a couple of snow days when we all freak out if we get 3-4 " of snow. Usually when it snows here, it's only about 1 " -2 " and melts in a few hours. Medford's spring and fall are extremely colorful! Another plus to Medford is the long growing year, with close to 6 months growing weather. Like I said, 4 distinct seasons - and none of them extreme. But maybe someone else can help you can find somewhere where the summers are cooler without the winters being rainy or snowy. Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
