    And as far as the thread derailing, it wasn't just you.

    Now that I know more info, I can do more research. I'm kind of a research addict. Lol.

    @Dra508 is from New England, but she recently moved to TX with her boyfriend.

    I assume you've seen this? http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harbinger_Group

    Edit: This guy did some research on Lexis: http://stuartbuck.blogspot.com/2004/...rly-1970s.html

    This is in 1974: http://www.newspapers.com/newspage/41389379/

    Look at the OCR text at the very bottom.

    I'm in deep cover right now. I think my Masshole license plate is giving me away though.

    Speaking of Charlotte, NC... I grew up there. Moved to Texas in 2000, spent a few years in Austin, the rest in Houston. I love it. True, Texas gets a lot of grief (some of it very deserved), but in general it's just a really great place. It's hard to put into words, but there's something about this state I really love. The only thing I don't like is that there's not much of a Fall season, it kind of jumps from summer straight into winter, then a very short spring & bam! Back into the heat.

    Side note: the humidity in North Carolina is absolute child's play compared to the humidity/heat of South Texas. Not quite as bad as Florida, but pretty damn close.

    My mom is from the panhandle, and I have a lot of family there so I'm pretty familiar with Amarillo, Stratford, Dumas, etc, too @elevenism. Ever been through Canyon?
    I've also lived in DFW and have a lot of family in that area, too.
    I'm a military brat, so I've bounced around, but El Paso is home. Anyone else from/been through EP?

    philip (the drummer) worked with my dad when the '97s were first starting out, so i grew up with them.
    it's been cool...permanently guestlisted...i've seen them over 50 times. my first time in a bar was to see them (i was 14 and there were about ten people there.)
    so many cool stories...for instance, for my birthday one year i got a cassette tape of Too Far To Care (before it came out) with eight extra songs on it.
    they are one of my favorite bands of all time. of course, it was such a huge deal knowing them as a teenager, you know? So i don't know how much i would love them if i hadn't known them.

    as far as backwards ass people, @natalielair and @theimage13 ... i don't hardly leave the house so i wouldn't really know! my hair is two feet long and i have 1" holes in my lobes and 1/4 inch holes in my conches, so i DO get funny looks sometimes at the Alsups and the post office.

    Amarillo, though, is getting to be pretty fucking hip, oddly enough.


    i've been here for the better part of three years, but i spent most of my adult life in urban dallas.
    i LOVE dallas and i miss the shit out of it but i don't really have much of a reason to justify moving back.

    I was born in Tyler and have lived in Dallas for the past 12 years. I like it all right. I thought about moving to Austin but I've got kids now and I don't like hippies.

    I was supposed to be there for a week, but the job ended up getting canceled. For which I was relieved...there wasn't one single good thing that anyone had to say about where I was supposed to be working, and the living situation wasn't slated to be great from what I heard either. But never actually been there, so that's all just third party info.

    Not surprised to hear people knocking El Paso... I'm used to that. Despite whatever you heard, it is a great city. I love it here.
    Just curious, what was the job?

    You know you live in Texas when.....

    You give a viewing of your bf's rent house when the woman looking to rent it says: "I don't care much about the master bath and closet, just as long as my gun safe fits in there."
