[AKA_Monet]

I lived in Dallas for a year... I got very sick and my boss relocated and I had to leave...

I knew that once I moved outta of SoCal it would be a oneway ticket. I'd never be able to afford to come back and live. A portapotty is a million dollars in SoCal--Tijuana, B.C. to be exact...

And the other thing is it was getting crazy in SoCal--like "Didn't even havta use my A.K.--gotta say it was good day..."

But Dallas made me gain too much weight!!! And everybody is married there. The heat and humidity didn't shock me because I was use to the good ole southern mason dixon line heat--too many family members in from actually Houston to Montgomery to Tallahasee to ATL to Daytona Beach...

I did like Houston... I did go to the summer Concert in the Park to raise money for young people... It was like a Kareoke [sp?]--dude got up and was singing, "turn out the lights" and forgot the rest of the song and kept shouting "turn em off!" And my husband and I just busted up laughing...

But I'm sorry, Texas has waaay too many mega churches for me... That is a strange concept to me. But hey, whatever floats one's boat... I find them too cultish if you ask me. But I do like Joel Osteem--he's pretty good. And I attended Friendship West Baptist in Dallas when I lived there...

The Pac Northwest ain't got nowhere near the kinna church that you get in Texas...

But I would be a nasty Californian and Kalifornicate half of Texas with land grabbing. Only thing though is folks carry and shoot concealed weapons and hit their targets in Texas. The Californians wave guns, shoot them in the air, spray bullets all over the place and maybe get bystanders. But I would never wanna be killed in SoCal. You'd find my toes on the roof somewhere if that happened... You'd never find my head. Folks are crazy out there. But it will always be home and I will love it!
