I've been all over the state of Texas. I've been as north as Amarillo, as west as El Paso, as east as Beaumont, and as south as Brownsville. I have never been to the DFW area though. There really isn't anything that draws me to the area. That doesn't make me less of a Texas does it?

Shoutouts:
JennRN, I'm sorry you're leaving us!
gamma_girl52, you're going to love it here. Guaranteed.
SWTXBelle, welcome back home!!

Uhhh. no. I have lived in Texas my entire life and have traveled to every single part of it worth going to.....and I despise Dallas with a passion.

Nice to be back. Wish the SPURS woulda done a little better last night, but hopefully we can bounce back and steal game 2 in LA. You have no idea how much it sucks living in Mavs country.

1. No $30,000 pretend millionaires who are upside down on their BMW loan, trying to impress you with their loft, clothes, and drinks. Meanwhile... they will be paying that Visa card off for life. Mac/WSP/whoever you are today called it correctly. Dallas is full of pretentious douche-bags.

2. Far superior museums. Far superior.

I'm definitely LMAO at the idea of Dallas having a much higher DoucheBag quotient than Fort Worth. I mean, on the spectrum of DoucheBag-ness, Dallas is heavy on the Ray Allen or Super-King-Mega-DoucheBag end.

And that's exciting to hear about the museums. I've only made it to the Museum of Modern Art over here, but was planning on making it to the Kimball sometime this summer. And hopefully the Museum of Science sometime too.

What was up with game 1 the other night?! Seriously. The Spurs WILL take game 2.

Texas will have its first-ever sales tax holiday on Saturday, Sunday and Memorial Day on certain household appliances carrying the Energy Star logo.

Purchasers will save the 6.25 percent state sales tax plus local sales taxes, which in cities such as Houston and San Antonio will be an additional savings of 2 percent.

Statewide, shoppers are expected to save about $2.6 million, the state comptroller's office estimated.

Tax-exempt items, purchased either in a store or from an Internet or catalog seller doing business in Texas, will include:

* Air conditioners priced less than $6,000 (The tax break doesn't apply to installation costs.)

* Ceiling fans
* Dehumidifiers
* Dishwashers
* Refrigerators priced less than $2,000
* Clothes washers (but not clothes dryers)
* Programmable thermostats
* Incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs

Anyone else taking advantage of this? Lowes is offering an additional 10% off on certain energy star appliances. I’m thinking about picking up a new window unit for the garage.

I heard about this but won't be taking advantage. I'm already good to go.

Question for the more well-traveled Texas GCers:

So now that i've graduated college, I've started to contemplate whether or not to try and see if i'd do well in another part of texas. I love El Paso to death, but eh, i'd like a change of scenery.

But I've only been to San Antonio, San Angelo (for a UIL competition), and Dallas (didn't really like it). If I was to really move, what city/cities would you suggest I try and move to?

Ive lived in Texas all my life also. Lived in the Plano area. West side. I really like Plano and the surrounding areas because its a nice blend of urban, suburban, and rural areas.

Call Robert E. Lee in Tyler.......I'm serious.

Hmmm, lovely Ft. Bliss....

Oh yes, and I drove home to SA today for a weekend visit... have been in the city limits for maybe 5 hours tops and have already had two glasses of Bill Miller tea. I have a lot of catching up to do.

Did anyone go to Texas State for grad school? I'm curious about your experience.
