Nah, I'm from Northeastern Montana. Lived in Billings for 12 years and I am currently looking to move back there.

Really? I was born in Glasgow, started school in Nashua and I'm related to everybody (it seems like) up here in northeastern Montana either directly or through marriage. I guess I understand why your posts make sense

I was born in Glasgow myself, Dr. Gregory (bless his soul) delivered me and all six of my siblings. If you went to school in Nashua, we could know each other.....weird.

Makes you think, how many people are posting here, and on egriz, that might know each other and have no idea. We could be talking to, or arguing with a friend from the past but not even know it.

Although I miss the joking around with posters from the Big Sky site such as silvertip, jac (who I think comes in here quite a bit), smitty, I try to just read and stay out of their domain. I do in fact go in and read some of their lack of clear, concise rationale. All in all, they do have a pretty good bunch, but they're not Cats. What can I say

What you guys pay in Montana amazes me....I work in management for a chain of home improvement stores in the mid-west....making a ton of money I have no complaints for what I do.....however last time I was back home in Helena I remember a can of primer costs double what you pay out here......a few months ago I had the chance to talk to our operations manager and I asked if they ever looked at starting any stores in Montana...I was told no because of freight charges, time to deliver goods to stores out there, etc.....I think anyway you look at it the consumer in Montana may be screwed until you have more distribution centers and people who say they won't go to ND, ID, etc......
