Missouri- a truly great state (Branson, Northwoods: living in, move to, racist)

[blu banks]

Thank you for the comment. I am always happy to 'hear' that those that move to our great state have found others to be kind. Welcome to your 'new' home! And people such as yourself are part of the reason Missouri is what 'she' is.

The grand County 'o Howell. Actually been here many years but, I was reading through some disturbing comments to each other in and about other places and I felt Quite Blessed and wanted to show it. Glad to say it...Thanks again Blu

Ah Blu I feel better already. First there was old Kimntony blasting us for our intelligence, among other things. Then I got an earful from some woman from Boston yesterday, telling me how closeminded we all are. She was so dumb she thought she was flattering me because I'm "different" from all those other fuddy duds. Yeah, count me in with the fuddies. Her biggest complaint? We're too much involved with our families for crying out loud. Well count me in with that group too. The most irritating thing is that I couldn't even get in a word edgewise, so I just walked away from her in mid sentence. Oh yeah and she accused us of racism, then a few minutes later made a racist comment.

Well, I guess we're a well kept secret, and Blu, you are welcome to our great state--it truly is lovely, isn't it?

Too much involved with our families!! Stepka, thanks for sharing, and let me give you some rep points forthwith!

Thanks North, that is pretty funny isn't it? Too bad more of the country doesn't have some of our "problem".

After living in 7 states, I can truly say it is the BEST! GO MO!!

It is even to live here and not raise children LOL. But seriously, I have lived many, many places, and I agree that Missouri is on the top of the list. If ONLY it had a ocean, it would be PERFECT. *SIGH*
