How is NY there even as the the lowest of the 10? I tell young guys all the time to get the f out of NY before you put down roots and are stuck here.What are the jobs in Texas? Oil, manufacturing or construction (that can't be good)? Does it include illegals? You don't really here about guys from around here going to Texas. Usually they go to VA, the Carolinas or Florida. I guess that way they are still within a long but possible drive home. |

Please sit down before you read the following!
Dear Diary,
Just moved to Texas! Now this is a state that knows how to live!! Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. It is beautiful. I've finally found my home. I love it here. June 14th: Really heating up. Got to 100 today. Not a problem. Live in an air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun everyday like this. I'm turning into a sun worshipper. June 30th: Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today. Lots of cactus and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing the lawn for me. Another scorcher today, but I love it here. July 10th: The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least, it's kind of windy though. But getting used to the heat is taking longer than I expected. July 15th: Fell asleep by the community pool. Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body. Missed 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson though. Got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this. July 20th: I missed Lomita (my cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning. By the time I got to the hot car at noon, Lomita had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag, then popped like a water balloon. The car now smells like Kibbles and Shits. I learned my lesson though. No more pets in this heat. Good ol' Mr. Sun strikes again. July 25th: The wind sucks. It feels like a giant freaking blow dryer!! And it's hot as hell. The home air-conditioner is on the fritz and the AC repairman charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to order parts. July 30th: Been sleeping outside on the patio for 3 nights now, $225,000 house and I can't even go inside. Lomita is the lucky one. Why did I ever come here? Aug. 4th: Its 115 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to 85. I hate this stupid state. Aug. 8th: If another wise ass cracks, 'Hot enough for you today?' I'm going to strangle him. Damn heat. By the time I get to work, the radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like baked cat!! Aug. 9th: Tried to run some errands after work. Wore shorts, and when I sat on the seats in the car, I thought my ass was on fire. My skin melted to the seat. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my legs and ass . . . Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried ass, and baked cat. Aug 10th: The weather report might as well be a damn recording. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do shit for 2 damn months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. Doesn't it ever rain in this damn state? Water rationing will be next, so my $1700 worth of cactus will just dry up and blow over. Even the cactus can't live in this damn heat. Aug. 14th: Welcome to HELL! Temperature got to 115 today. Cactus are dead. Forgot to crack the window and blew the damn windshield out of the car. The installer came to fix it and guess what he asked me??? "Hot enough for you today?" My sister had to spend $1,500 to bail me out of jail. Freaking Texas . What kind of a sick demented idiot would want to live here?? Will write later to let you know how the trial goes. BigDozer66 |

BigDozer66 So true!!!  But I still love Texas!

Quoted: BAN ONE-WAY U-HAULS and deploy the Texas Rangers to the northern border. We must save Texas! No kidding, if you move here, don't try to make Texas like the place you left. Us Texans like Texas the way it is. The guys I know who take off, at least from around here, are usually tough, poor guys who work in the trades and have guns. Tennessee's not in there? they had a great economy when i was there frequently, great gun laws too. a buddy of mine was home in NY and said that the only guys he knows from high school who are still here either have .gov jobs, like police, work at the nuclear power plants or their wife won't move away from her mother and they're broke. |

Us Texans like Texas the way it is. THIS! THIS! FUCKING THIS!!!!! I'm a transplant from Canada and I learned to become a Texan. First thing to do is get a big chicken fried steak with mashed taters and either a sweet tea or a Shiner. You will want to repeat this step several times. Also try the Mexican food and BBQ with beer. I highly recommend it. |

Gun safe strapped to the roof of their Landau Monte Carlo ? i had a guy show up at my office once and said he wanted the money he had paid me for a bankruptcy back as he changed his mind. I said that was great that things had turned around for him as he had just built a new house etc. He pointed out the window and his family was in his truck with a u haul pull behind attached. He said he was abandoning his house and moving to south carolina so I cut him a check and he handed me the keys to the house and asked me to get ahold of the bank so they could drain the pipes and seal up his house. Never saw him again

I guess I am asking what is bad about the leadership? I understand the gun laws here are a little better. |

He's not your average arfcommer and I respect the work he does for gunowners, our military, and this site. You can pretty much do a search for Rick Perry for the past 30 days or so and find all you need to know to make your own informed decision. |

Pengy, you can have all the Yankees back that you want from the cities. They've come down here and tried turning us into the shithole they left. We do like some of them though. I know quite a few that are conservative freedom lovers. We have room for an extra bird or two so fly on down. Oh... wait. Waddle or drive. Do penguins drive? Anyway, Mark, you're welcome too.
Oh, Aimless, if you live near the beach there's some really nice water slides. You'd love this wouldn't you. lol {  }

I know of a few companies that were based in Kalifornistan that moved out here... as well as a shit-ton of people! |

I do believe that will shift. The heart of the new economy will be more southerly. I think many urban centers will soon be emptying faster than Oklahoma in a Dust Bowl. Unions, unsupportable welfare states, and yes, plain old lack of job growth will mean more boom years for Texas. I hope. |
