I am so happy to live in a place where everyone isn't in a race to be there yesterday, except for those who aren't, and where you can find trees and grass without it being a city park.

The state I grew up in and am a third generation native of has changed beyond recognition and there is a reason that they are having negative population growth including the illegals. I'm perfectly happy if the neighbors don't keep the place pristine. Riverside has so many rules that some of them actually contridict each other.

I did research and visited before I moved, but the three months inbetween were a trial. If this becomes a really popular destination I'll have to start telling people how awful it is lol. Of course that I'm here with no plans to go mean it probably won't work.

I don't think Ok will ever become California because the jobs aren't here and the alure can't compete. People will move anywhere right now to get away from the absurd prices for housing etc but have to work too. And that old steriotype still is there.... Most people who weren't familiar with the state had the stammering, but why would you do that look.

I am very happy with the way it is, and will not be complaining.

The big quake is coming in Ca, especially socal, and without power and water and food for a great while when the grid goes nobody will be complaning that there is a dead car in the neighbors driveway anymore.
You've been on the "Immigration" forum haven't you?

I generally tell them that I have some really cute first cousins, and that going to church all weekend just gets the week watching Springer off to a good start...............

Too bad I don't have your number. I had an Italian sausage sandwich tonight at the Tuscany. Schousse and I could have used the company.........

No but if this is the one about the legal/illegal kind, I've probably avoided it. Kinda miss having to vent a little every day.

But now you've got me intrigued, been addicted since the first bbs days to these things.

Thanks much. The furries and I are very glad to be here. I'll be sticking around the forum. The commentary here helped cement my decision to move here and there are still lots of things to learn. And its a very friendly place.

Welcome to Oklahoma nightbird. I live in Texas but was born and raised in Southeastern Oklahoma. You should visit the Ouachita mountains sometime; beautiful.
