Well, if nothing else, 'Breastfeeding in Lubbock' would probably make a good name for a band.
Stay the hell out of it then.
Oh, believe you me, I have. I avoid it like, well, like I avoid Odessa.
LOLOLOLOLOL!!! Don't be knocking Sweetwater....they have rattlesnakes, ya know!! I knew I'd find you on the thread about Tech!! Just catching up with all this, and as a former Tech student and proud Mom of a Tech graduate, I must say, I'm glad to see that cotton is back where it belongs on the Tech seal.
Ok- Sweetwater has it's redeeming qualities - give me a few hours and I'll think of them............ ;^)
Guns up, hispanarepublicana! You tell her!! :-)
Why the dogpile?
Is there some rule I missed that says I have to adore every town in Texas because I was born in one?
Amarillo has very little to recommend it to me. Likewise El Paso and Corpus Christi. YMMV.
I'm a Houstonian born and bred, one of very few natives, and I've always figured the cool thing about Texas is that it has something for just about everybody.
Here's one: I was born there. I never actually lived there, and I'm sure after my birth, things started to decline. LOL
For your information... if you ever listen to the entire song of Mac Davis.. it is happiness is Lubbock, TX getting nearer and nearer. He loves his home down and sang to a standing ovation a couple weeks ago. He comes home often and loves it here.
Well, there ya go then.......... and one of my children was born there too!
So you prefer over-rated hill country burgs so that you can suffer through traffic, liberals, humidity, heat, a lack of 4 seasons and few if any views of the horizon or beautiful sunsets? Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
No mam, sure isn't.
I'm a Houstonian born and bred, one of very few natives,
Congratulations.
and I've always figured the cool thing about Texas is that it has something for just about everybody.
Right you are. I don't know about the others, but I personally don't go onto a thread about Houston and start slamming it. If I did, I'm sure I'd get *dogpiled*, too.
Have a great day!
Lighten up, Francis, and be man (or woman) enough to post your cursing here, rather than in Freepmail.
Was that you who punched the Aggie's dog?
a lack of 4 seasons
Help me remember, the 4 West Texas seasons are Dust, Frozen, Moredust, and Hell, right?
Brings back wonderful memories in San Angelo watching the color changes of the weeds. 10 minutes of green to brown to ochre to dead, then start all over.
What a show!
Uh, yeah...that's the ticket....(if it'll keep riffraff out). But just between you & me, I'm looking out my window at the businessmen SNEAKING off to play golf because, as it is generally 5 out of every 7 days in spring/early summer & fall here: winds @10 to 15 mph; around 70 degrees (w/a high forecast of 82); mostly sunny and I would guess about 15 percent humidity. (the wind and sand blew just one day this year, so we should continue to keep our record for our average windspeed at 12 mph below Dallas' as it has been most years). Most of the guys going off to play golf will travel 20 miles to get there (roughly the width of the city limits) but make it there in 15 minutes. As opposed to Dallas & Houston, moms & dads going to pick up or meet there kids at 5:30 p.m. soccer/baseball/teeball games will not have to leave their downtown offices at 3:30 just to make it work. I think I'll stay right where I is.
Well of course your wind speed is lower, you're further from Oklahoma (which totally sucks.)
And don't tell anyone that I'd love to retire to Alpine some day. Would ruin my schtick...
BTW, I seem to have detected a bias toward mosquito farmers in your posts...
bias toward WHAT?
