Texas...

[brazenblaze]

for anyone who cares...I HATE this f***ing place! This town is a big litter box for humans, there is no nightlife if you don't speak spanish or are not a redneck, and don't get me started on the education system here or the lack of.

As if that wasn't enough, Today, I step out of the shower and go over to my dresser to get a pair of panties out of the drawer, when what should I discover, nestled there among my panties and things...A FUCKING SCORPION! Yes, a big nasty mean looking scorpion. I scream! Did I mention that I hate those things and play female at the first site of one. Well, here I am, butt nekkid and screaming, when my 12y/o son comes to the door to see what the problem is. Just what I need! Yelling for him to stay out, I slowly inch back to the bathroom for a towel, not taking my eyes off that beast lying there on my favorite silk panties.

The whole time trying to decide what am I going to do. There is NO way, I'm spraying bug spray in there and ruining my clothes and I'm NOT going to squish him with the fly swatter either.(Yuck!) So, I decide I can either dump out the drawer and risk losing him or get the boy to get him. Decisions, Decisions,....well to make a long story short (I know, Too late). I grab a robe open the door and let the little man save the damsel in distress.

Now, does anyone know a good therapist? After the episode with the scorpion and all his mother's "unmentionables", I think the boy will probably have issues to get off his chest. Not to mention the embarassment his mother feels at having her son looking at all her "things".

Like I said, "I HATE TEXAS".
Just thought I would share.

I lived in Texas for a year a while back...my first day there I was swarmed by fire ants.

Could you describe these silk panties please, so we can make a proper judgement on your handling of this situation.

Get the fuck out! If you hate the great state of Texas then load up all of your shit and move the fuck out of here. Believe me, we don't want your sorry ass around here.

 

[sweetfeet]

my husband is from Texas - I actually like it there.

 

[Maniac]

Texas kicks ass!!

 

[riff]

Empathize completely. Texas sucks. Always did- always will. And yes, they do have a lot of rednecks in the National Laboratory of Bad Govenment.

I was so happy to see the Longhorns get beat by Oregon. I really do hate Texas, I guess. It's just the whole "Texas" thing. I wish they would become the Republic of Texas again and all the rednecks ould move there (they would too...)

Gotta love those rednecks,,, and so that everyone is sure of what a redneck is,,, this is a prime example quoted above.

Spent some time in Texas myself,,, personally I prefer to be sitting in hell, or Gila Bend AZ., rather than go to Texas again for more than a visit.

I believe it was Gen. Philip H. Sheridan who made the remark that if he owned hell and Texas, he'd rent out Texas and live in hell.

Of course, he was a Union general.

He was also VERY astute!!

Finally someone cares enough to be pissed at me. Now, bite me redneck.

Can't wait for Uncle Sam to send me back to Ga, where the air doesn't smell like the something the dog left in the yard.

Lets see now...the panties are very sheer peach silk thong, that you can almost see through when I wear them, and are well worn because, they are my FAVORITE. Does that help explain the situation?

I personally like Texas and it's small towns... my kids don't have to walk thru a metal detector to go to school.. we don't have to lock our doors if we don't want to...

yes I have fought scorpians (lost a couple of times *ouch*)
fire ants are icky and the wasps and spiders make me crazy, but that is small price to pay I think.

It is even rumored that we have great shopping in some places!

But the most important thing to me right now is .... We are not buried under all that snow! *grin*

 

[fgarvb1]

come to east texas and add lots of snakes to your list too.

 

[Shylady]

ewwwwwwwww i forgot those terrible things *grin*

ok so Texas isn't perfect but it is where my hubby lives and that makes up for it.

 

[Skibum]

Vermont has some pretty great small towns and schools (no metal detectors!), but we do have a lot of snow. I mean a LOT of snow. Personally, I think that is a plus. I had a lot of friends from Texas when I was in the Army, and while they were all great guys and good friends, they could be pretty damn unreasonable about Texas.

On the whole, I'd have to agree with General Sheridan.

 

[teresafannin]

Add me to the list of people who love Texas. I hate to be the one to point it out, but Texas is going to be in the news a lot in the next 4 years. Love him or hate him, the new President is a Texan. Hi Maniac, long time, no see. I hope you & family are doing well.

I remember Little Phil Sheridan. He was such a good soldier that he burnt homes where women & children lived. A lot of his own soldiers didn't like him for waging war on civilians who had already pretty much lost everything.

I think most people have strong opinions about where they live. The short amount of time I was in Georgia, I hated it. The people that I met were not very polite, but you can't hold a few people against a whole state.

Texas IS a Republic!

Whoa y'all! First let me say that I am a Texan by choice, not by birth.

My father was awaiting reassignment while stationed in the UK when I was a kid. We all said any place we go will be fine as long as it is not Texas. Well wouldn't you know... Harlingen (isolated from the rest of the world by the King Ranch), Texas. OHMYGOD!

Since then, I have spent most of my adult life here and all of my family have grown to appreciate this state for what it is and what it has to offer. The people are wonderful but they don't take kindly to no sumbitch Yankee talkin' down the great Republic of Texas.

I hate snakes, rednecks (we keep them up in east Texas), and the high cost of utility bills to run the air conditioning year-round but you'll get a fair shake and a warm smile if y'all come to visit us.

Hello there teresafannin. Yes, it has been a while since I've been on. Been very busy, living that coaches life. Family and me are doing just fine.

Texas is the greatest state in the United states. Yes, I admit there are some things that could be different about it such as Houston and its air pollution. But, if you live out in the country like myself, you wouldn't have to put up with that stinch that the city puts out.

I don't know of any other state that has (flat lands, plains, rolling hills, mountains, forest, coastal lands, desert lands) all rolled into one great state. Along with these different types of terain we have different types of weather. We have tornadoes, hurricanes, snow, heat from hell, a beautiful spring that produces the prettiest flowers (bluebonnets).

A true Texan is friendly, has good manners, respects his/her elders, is willing to lend a helping hand to a stranger in need, and will speak up when some damn yankee talks bad about Texas.

I have but one question for all you Texas haters.
If Texas is so bad then Why has Texas become the 2nd most populus state in the U.S? The U.S. census has declared that Texas is the most populus state and that people continue to move here.

I'll tell you why. It's cause Texas is a great place to live. In the country we don't have to lock our cars, we don't have to lock our houses, and living in the country is like nothing else in the world.
