It was a lot of different reasons combined to make them change thier mind, not just my silly fears of karst .(Shadow!) I would like to thank you all especially you L.J for putting up with us and answering all our questions. I came in here full of questions and now I think I know more about Mo then I do about Cali. Its been real fun and maybe in a few more years we will be able to call Mo home. Thanks again.

It definitely is a huge thing to up and move half way across the country and if all the duckies aren't lined up in a row it can be a terrible decision. Ya never know what the future holds, ya might just hit da lotto, so keep coming around and hangin' out with the MO folks bac!! Purdy please

Hello Bentaxlecrew: You're still a Missourian to me...as you said, you probably know more about this state than Cali., and maybe even more than some who have lived their whole life here. You'll make it here. Maybe not as soon as you would have liked, but you are here in spirit with us and don't forget these threads. Just stay here with us and keep posting. Don't you dare stay away just because you won't be moving here when you wanted to.

I look forward to reading your posts and some of the answers, such as SC's, da jammer, and LJ's, and the others, sometimes funny and sometimes a little serious. You are an important part of this forum, you do know that, don' you? It is people such as yourself that make this little bit of calmness something to look forward to by us addicted ones. when our days are not just so.

'See' you soon friend.

Yeah what NV said

Axelcrew, Remember you can always take vacations over our way. I'm kind of jealous of you folks being right close to the desert for a day of off roading. I remember my first trip to SoCal (August of '95) when my brother was stationed at Edwards AFB in Lancaster. I drove the whole way from my then home of Springfield and the biggest thing for me was to see the desert for the first time. Pretty amazing how vast it is between Needles and Barstow and hot as hell. I'll be jealous again this winter when the temps hit the single digits here in NW MO.

On another note, it appears that poor, misunderstood O.J. is back in the news... What is it 15 felonies? This time it ain't gonna be a CA Jury... Who's his attorney gonna be since Johnnie Cochran's taking a dirt nap?

So I am reading posts, and feeling sad for bentaxlecrew but know it is best for ya, and thinking the previous posts are so right in what they are saying about your announcement to wait for now.
then thinking about,
da darlin jammers gold brick, and I am smiling, very happy for him

Then I come to poor OJ. And I am thinking- poor OJ?? and that is
as far as I got >>>>>>>>When suddenly I look up and see your user name NWVoyager and instinctively want to help you find it!

[bentaxlecrew]

Thank you all again. I sort of did think I was becoming a nuiscance to ya'all. It honestly brought tears to my eyes to read your posts. Then I had to laugh at Karey. Silly!
I dont think I could stay away if I tried.
Tried to rep ya's but of course I gotta pass it around.

Our dear bent, you have become a friend to all 'round here and a member of the MO forum family. Sheeesh the CA forum pretty much blows so why would anyone subject themselves to that on a daily basis?? Everybody asks questions and posts up their thoughts and ideas around here and it's nice to be part of a group of people willing to help out when we can and be nice about it in the process....that just seems to be the MO way of doin' things

Hey do any of you remember pogs and slammers? (Kid game) Back when O.J was first arrested they made collector ones with a picture of O.J behind bars. One said "squeeze the juice and the other said "free O.J" I have both of them still. What will they come up with next? Funny!
