I was actually born and grew up on the Great Lakes after my grandpa moved there from Missouri after WWII. My family then moved to the Carolina’s for my dad’s job. So my original roots are scattered some. My Scottish genes feel right at home here though lol. We are genuinely so grateful to be here. Everyone has been so supportive of our small business. Our kids are thriving. It’s the best decision we ever made. I know it’s not easy to see your hometown change to something you never expected or asked for- but I think many of us newcomers do have good intentions.

Are every day Minnesotans talking about the fraud that’s been uncovered there? I know you’ve had a lot of time in the national conservative headlines this year, but wasn’t sure what the conversations looked like on the ground amongst normal every day people.

We did a huge framed engagement photo and had guests sign the matting. I do think traditional guests books get missed by mistake. Especially when guests are wrapped up having a great time! I’m sorry yours didn’t go as planned.

We moved to East Tennessee from North Carolina during Covid. We opened a small family business, so didn’t take anyone’s jobs and actually provided jobs for a few natives who have been with us for five years now. We vote properly. We’re charitable with both time and money through our church and other local organizations. We are so incredibly grateful to be here and truly do all we can to preserve the community we have been so graciously welcomed into. I promise, not everyone moving here is bad. While this gentlemen could’ve absolutely approached his post differently, some people do deserve an opportunity and some grace after picking up their entire life, leaving everything they know and love for better opportunities for their families. 🧡

No one should live like this after six months. She’s completely valid if she chooses to walk away. He caused this. But if you’re agreeing to forgive and work on the relationship - do it.

There ya have it folks. It’s really a shame what he’s turned into. I was excited when he first left Fox.

It’s shocking there’s still voters out there who didn’t see right through this from day one.

Dearborn has had parts of town with street signs written in Arabic since I was a teenager. We loved to go downtown for the restaurants and bakeries. But it definitely has a different vibe today than it did 30 years ago.

Not all families operate on a typical Monday-Friday 9-5 schedule. We own a small business and the times my husband can take away don’t always align with the traditional school calendar year. My kids are in elementary school. We will absolutely prioritize our family over a few worksheets and iReady tests.

Oh but it is. And only one side does it. It’s to bait you into their holier than thou virtue signaling sermon about how their leftist views make them better than everyone. This isn’t our first rodeo.

I received my ADHD diagnosis at 38 after having my autistic son. It was helpful in that it made me understand how my brain works differently and gain some tools to function better - but FAR too many people are using it as a crutch. They’ve romanticized neurodivergence and it’s hurt the autism community especially

I agree here. I like a lot of their fundamentals - but it’s almost like AA becomes their new addiction and it’s a one size fits all path to recovery.

He’s such a little tricker. He knew he loved you from day one. He just wanted to play hard to get 😉

I actually agree here. She’s valid for not wanting to get over it and being hurt - but after 6 months you need to decide if you’re genuinely going to work towards the future or call it quits.

I have a feeling her parents are probably mortified. Fled a place like Mongolia for a better life here and this is how she acts? What a shame.
