Ok. Thanks guys. I will do some research this weekend. The rentals in the area look similar to costs in the area I'm in now...but, I have a great mortgage.
Maybe I will shoot this guy an email on Monday with some specific questions. He sounded really nice.
I did own my own newspaper for a time and I know I could handle the job. But, is it the area and the job I want? IDK. I like the challenge of it and the ag aspect...
And, I like the rural/Lake Ontario/Adirondack Mountains aspect...
I have some thinking and praying to do. I really appreciate everyone's input.

Believe in yourself, Lo! Practice exuding confidence. Appearance, body language, and tonality of your words have a bigger impact than the actual spoken words, and make you more credible when you negotiate;)

I know how it's looks like your stuck here. You try to show what's going on, then you explain then often you feel like you need to justify why and the hole digging starts.
Job I'm not sure anyone wants anyone to stop commenting, and learning to handle disagreement with style etc is part of this site.
Bring on the disagreements, in a nice way of doing so.
I re read m thread and saw how I had latched on to an idea that my h had bolted and I should " find a man" it was ides thrust on me by others.
It's a place to try on new indenties to see what fits. Go heather be a writer hang the drama.
Life too bloody shot as it is. Smokey is also a runner so a 6 hour drive meh, he should be able to do it in his sleep with one hand behind his back.

I'm so glad you got a bonafide opportunity with the publisher. And I had to smile when you said where it is. My D20 goes to school an hour north of there, so I'm familiar with the area. You're an hour north of Syracuse - it's very beautiful country! I always feel like I'm driving through a bit of Americana when I pass through on my way to her school. (I'll be heading out that way in October :))
So... you're not too far from Syracuse to get some decent shopping. I don't know anything about the schools, but let's talk about the winters there. I don't know where you are in Ohio? But that area gets a LOT of lake effect snow. And when I say a lot, I'll tell you this is coming from someone who knows what a lot is. My D20 gets a little bit of winter depression from the lack of consistent sunshine. Don't get me wrong - she likes her school a whole lot and has fared very well coming from Denver to small town Americana. But just know what you're getting in to.
Go visit - you'll find it lovely this time of year. I truly have been impressed with the scenery. There is a bit Amish presence, as they took over the smaller dairy farms.
I also don't know what the school districts offer for your D11. Make sure you do your homework. Also, if your D is getting any Medicaid assistance in your state, you'll have to re-enroll in NY and get on their lists.
BTW, American Airlines serves Watertown to Chicago - so you're not horribly remote there. My D20? LOL. SHE'S remote!
Good luck and I'm rooting for ya.

What did I tell you Heather about all that hard work paying off! You worked hard, overcame so much and sent out so many resumes. At the same time you took care of your kids and dealt with a H who has gone off the deep end. Not to mention helping so many others going through the he!! of having an MLC S! You deserve this, Heather! Way to go!
Heather congrats on an offer. I am sure you will make the best decision. For me, checking out the programs at the local schools is always on the top of my list.
You gave options and choices. Make sure you know what you really want.

What if this journey through he!! isn't really our journey, but something a higher power has ordained in order to USE US to help others out of he!!? What if we are just a vessel to help so many others find their way out of this mess?
It's not such a burden when you think of it that way. In some ways, it almost makes it a blessing. Weird.
What if this isn't OUR battle, but God has chosen us to pave the way?
[verse 1:] There is no pain, Jesus can't feel There is no hurt, that He can't heal For all things work (yes they do) According to the masters purpose and his holy will no matter what (you in the balcony) are going thru, remember that God only wants a chance to use you for the battle is not yours its the Lord's (we gonna tell the devil that all right?)
There's no sadness, Jesus can't feel and there is no sorrow, that the master is not able and willing to heal remember that all things work they're not gonna be all good but they're gonna work according to God's purpose and his holy will no matter what, no matter what you're going thru remember God sees all and he knows all and all he wants to do is use you for this Battle is not yours its, its its its its the lord
