I found that being a "yankee" in the south doesn't get one very far despite being respectful and kind. It's been close to a nightmare here for the past 15 years, mainly because people act like they like you. That's scary. Reminds me of a Marvin Gaye song way back. lol
Anyway, thanks for trying to help. I do appreciate it. backatcha

I copyied this from Wyoming Forum, all credit goes to Elkhunter. Anyway, substiute Nebraska in for Wyoming and its pretty much the same. Maybe a little less in Lincoln and Omaha because of population and you have to be a little more leary, but generally the same:

"Wow, what a mouthfull. Wyomings way of life.

I look at my neighbor and think, this old woman come and shoveled my walk last year right after I got out of the hospital. I will now, shovel her walk the rest of my life when I'm able. She's in her 70's and come and shoveled my walk.

I will always go to the local market, where people say howdy, and they mean it. They're not just saying it because the "Company says to do it." They are really concerned and are friendly.

I know the guy that hauls my trash. I often go out and he'll stop and chat for a bit.

I know my grandson's teacher by her first name. I am envolved. She calls me when he's not up to par.

My grandson's day care has me on speed dial. He's allowed 15 minutes to get there, and when he's not, she calls me. I go out looking. Normally he's building a snow fort and just lost track of time.

I know just about every doctor in town by first name. They are our life blood.

I have no clue what political affiliation my neighbors are. Could care less.

I live free. I hike when I can, I hunt when I can. My neighbors have brought me Elk, Deer, Antelope, Pheasant. I have taken them the same. We share. Sometimes we have ups and downs. so neighbors are important.

I drive down the road and see somebody stuck. I pull them out. Sometimes they offer money. I tell them, just help out the next person you see stuck. Stop for the next person you see stranded and offer help.

I stop and chat with kids coming home from school. They are the ones that will carry on when we are gone.

I want my kids, and my grandkids, and their kids, to enjoy the wide open spaces of Wyoming. But more importantly, I want them to have neighbors that are neighbors, not tollerant people, but neighbors. Here, we take care of each other.

A few years ago, we had a bad blizzard that knocked out power. I had 21 people staying in my house because I had a fire place. Warmth. I walked up and down the snow banks to get them here. But together, we stayed warm. Cleaned out my freezer. But it was a small cost to pay.

I can't think of anywhere in Wyoming, that if I was stuck in a blinding snow storm, somebody wouldn't welcome me into their home.

That is Wyoming."

Again all credit goes to Elkhunter, but the same priciples of his post apply to Nebraska.

Ok i dont know if you'll be able to find this but the area around Zorinsky Lake in southwest Omaha is very nice. You can fish there and several shopping centers are nearby and are in development. Lakeside/ shops of legacy have several good restraunts and not so much fast food. Lakeside also has 3 super markets which all kindof have there own district like area. Village Pointe a bit to the north is an outdoor shopping center which was completed in... I think 2004-5. It has a very nice appeal. If you are also looking for a good church, Lutheran Church of the Master west campus, is off of dodge by Village Pointe. Very good pastors. When your kids finally get old enough for middle school, Millard North Middle School has the IB program (International Baccalaureate) which is a world class education program. They also have IB at Millard North High School. Well that basically sums up the area i live in Omaha.

LOL the Marvin Gaye song.
They're always polite to Yankees down south, either it's that phony southern charm or they like the $. What they say after someone leaves the room tells it all. I didn't see as much of Yankees being shunned in KY, but what culture shock. Thank You Have a Nice day Y'all come back, etc etc. This city boy wasn't used to all that. After hearing all them Hiyas And Thank yas at one store, what came to my mind was a Steve Martin movie.(Blue Heaven) Wasn't that a great N.Y./Brooklyn imitation? After all that familiarity, when he looked at the clerk, then sneered, "Hey #*&! You ! "
