From Dallas - Fort Worth Texas?

Maypearl is near Dallas. That's why I asked, lol. Stepped in Amarillo, eh? Your flight stop there? The airport used to be so much cooler before 9/11. Now they only allow flights through to and from Dallas and smaller airlines to and from Vegas. Damn paranoid bastards, as far as I'm concerned, the terrorists already won. Heh, sorry, I'm just bitter because of the closing of the airport. I used to love picking people up there cuz there were so many planes landing and taking off...Very cool. *shakes fist at the world* Making me lose my childhood love of airplanes! Haha.

 

This flight I took was before 9/11. I think we got off 1 plane in Armarillo and took another one from there to I don't remember. Maypearl looks country as it is alittle further south from Dallas. What made you want to go to Maypearl again, sorry if I missed it.

 

You didn't miss it, I didn't say it. My boyfriend went to school down there for a semester in high school and it was a great school. Every teacher majored in the study they taught, most with at least master's degrees, the school paid for students to take concurrent classes (the college classes that give you both high school and college credit), they weren't required to take that stupid TAKS test because their scores were always so high. If the school system continues to have such a good reputation by the time we start a family, I want my kids enrolled there. I don't want my kids to have a substandard education like the one I had.

 

That sounds great, if only it was like this everywhere.

 

Amarillo was cool to fly to/from
cept in weather that should've grounded the puddle jumpers... *L*

 

I use to call it Armadillo.

 

Hey Kinky, the Mayperl area isn't that great. I grew up in Ellis county. It's pretty far to drive to a decent job out there. Plus every rich idiot from Dallas is starting to buy up land down that way (just like northern Ellis county) so they can be "cowboys" and other BS. believe me, that area of TX sucks. That's why I moved out here just south of you.

Oh Black Velvet, you live around Gunthre or Seamor? I drive that way wen I go back to visit family in Ellis county.

 

Hey , I kind of take offense at that statement, Unkle.

My family isn't rich, not by a long shot...but we ARE city folks who moved to the country.

We'd lived in the city all my life and spent years and years shelling out hundreds of dollars a month to board our horses.

When I was 16, we said, "Screw the city" and moved to the country. I don't see anything wrong with that.

I moved back to town after high school, but as of right now, I'm in the process of moving back and buying land out in Parker County. What's wrong with that?

 

Hey nothing wrong with what your folks did and nothing wrong with what you want plan on doing, not at all.

It's the lexus SUV drivers who have turned small towns into the suburbs that they left. Fast food joints, sub divisions and crud popping up and turning the country into soemthing they like. It's sad, they move out to the country b/c they like it it was quiet and slow. But it didn't have the convienences they left behind so they get teh towns to allow the developers in to build. Then the quiant little country town isn't quiant or little. The town I left had a very low crime rate, since I left two years ago, my father has told me it has risen 25-30%.

When I lived there, people were polite and waved at you (much like this little town I moved to). When I go back to visit, it's almost like driving in Houston. People are ruder and don't wave anymore. Well I take that back, someone waved the middle finger at me, and another waved a gun. I moved out to where there are small towns with what you need, and land as far as the eye can see, and stars that can bee seen in the pitch black of night. Yes it sounds like I was one of those who moved to the country, but I moved from the country to the country.

What do you plan on doing with that land in parker county? BTW I like the goddess pic you have, very cool.

 

Not really planning on doing anything with it but living on it. It's got a decent little 3 bedroom house on it. Just want to be able to step outside and be in the middle of nowhere with no nosy neighbors, no police sirens, no people next door doing drugs, etc.

My soon-to-be place is 5 acres, has about an acre of woods, and a little stream. I just want to go out and walk through my trees and sit by my stream and all that.

I may eventually build horse facilities, but probably not. My parents live 15min away and have a very nice barn, arena, etc, and my horses stay there for free. Not really any point in building my own facilities.

I'll probably buy a few goats to eat the weeds, but that's about it.

 

cool! i'd like to see some pics.

 

I won't know till Monday if my bid on the property was accepted...but I'm keeping my fingers crossed and I'm really excited.

 

How do you find the country after living in the city? I think I might find it a little claustophobic (though I've been offered a job in Albany, TX)

 

I hated the city. Always have. Of course, my whole life involved going to the country every day to ride my horse. I loved it out there and then I'd have to come back to the city where everything is crowded and noisy.

I'm not a people person at all and live so close to other people drives me nuts! My new place is in the middle of nowhere with no neighbors whatsoever who are close enough to interact with. I think it's great.

 

Funkytown in the house!

 

I live in Willow Park, a small city west of Fort Worth, and east of Weatherford. I go to the Aledo schools.

 

I'm from a sub-urb of Dallas called Mesquite.
it's a nice little shit-hole. =]
