Looks like Matts pension plan is on hold...

You guys stop cluttering up the thread; I need the good officer to come in and explain the mechanics of pension accounting to me.

Good point. New thread time.

Trust me on this, when you get away and turn down all the noise that DFW has to offer you have time to think and slow down. Coming back has been quite a shock to the system, as have the hoards of shitty drivers.

I have a decent amount of time to think. DFW has a lot to offer, including a rather large group of friends and 27 years of personal history.

I'm thinking of going to NZ. I love it except for the anti-gun thing

Cost of living is about 33% higher than where I live in East Texas, but I don't foresee paying for all the conveniences that we pay for now, so I would say 33% is a bit high.

Living conditions are considerably more simplistic than the average DFW (Garland, Oak Cliff, Greenville excluded). I've heard that St. Croix is the whiter side of the islands and the recent layoffs will have properties going for cheap. We will likely end up in St. Thomas where we have more friends.

Women are plentiful!!! There is a fresh batch with every cruise ship!

Noooo.....St. Croix is not the whiter side, it's the cheaper side. With the refinery closure, the crime is outlandish. The property is dirt cheap, though. Water Island is what you're thinking...

Saint Thomas. They have a 'Don't be an idiot' policy. Wanna drink and drive? SURE! Just don't be an idiot. Wanna smoke pot? Cool with us, but don't be an idiot. Wanna have guns? We don't give a fuck, as long as you're not an idiot. They hate paperwork, so you REALLY have to be an idiot to get them involved.

So I can have full auto weapons and rocket launchers?

If you can get it there, they probably wouldn't care. The first day on the island, a uniformed, on duty cop came into the bar with his shirt unbuttoned half way, a beer in his hand, reeking of island weed, with blood shot eyes.

They literally don't care what you do as long as you don't fuck with someone's way of life. That being said, I wouldn't want to piss anyone off and go to jail. I'm sure it would liken to Mexican prison.

what does island weed smell like?

Regular weed with a hint of crab emulsion and salt.

that's that fancy shit right thur....

[Snatch Napkin]

Ha!

The tourists bring the fancy shit.

Walking by the various rooms of tourists, then passing by the employees quarters will quickly reveal who brought the good shit.

However, there are a select few locals that can grow some decent stuff, but that is one seriously close knit circle.
