I've lived here my entire 51 years, and have known people of all varieties ( the only way I can think of to encompass all the beautiful types of folks). Let me tell you, we have our assholes, but most of the beautiful people are just here living their lives. I don't speak fo4 the rest of MO, but I promise you. Anyone ever tries to hurt you, you come right back here and message me. I'll go granny redneck on em for ya. Deal?

Honey, they've done this since the 70s and 80s around here. Every few years they get a bee in their butt crack. Don't be alarmed or let the fear mongers make you afraid.

But, I also got called a transphobe for telling someone to not be afraid of missouri... so take it for what you will. I still say just live your life.

First, and this is from a rescue person so I swear I'm not out for blood. Do you know where the dog came from? Its owner is liable and rabies info needs checked or it needs quarantined for 10 days. Otherwise your friend is looking at a painful series of shots. I know this seems unimportant right now, but it is important I swear.

You can apply for care credit at most vets. It is a credit card, but it may help alleviate the immediate worry as most vets won't do payments any longer. Your best shot for help is a rural vet, but do the care credit.

Nixa is crazy expensive as far as property and real estate taxes. I'm not a fan of the town either. My foster parents retired there, and it just didn't mesh with me. But, Ozark is very up and coming. I live in Bolivar, moved here from Springfield, so I obviously favor the small town vibe. I grew up on the north side of Springfield, but its not the same city any longer. I've never lived on the south side, but as far as shopping, etc it's where I go.

It all depends on what you want. Springfield is the buckle of the Bible belt, and Niva is the epicenter. Springfield is a bigger city, but still has a smaller feel than many. Check out Bolivar, if you want a rural environment. Republic is growing too.

As a plus sized lady, it depends on their style. Looking for a more playful or edgy style, go to torrid. Work clothes, lane Bryant, and some torrid clothes can work (but online is where the good stuff is with both places). For a more mature style, or more modest, then Catherine's is good. Heck, even walmart has some nice sundresses and tops, my favorite yellow sundress is from Walmart and I get comments whenever I go out in it. Cato has some nice plus too, but 28 is the largest they stock I think.

Enclosed coop, don't forget a dust bath (recipes can be found online for proper dust), and you might even make a chicken tractor from garden pest control. But they are such fun little pets and full of peraonality
