Perfumdiva1

rincewind

And that's the respectable parts of Tx

Perfumdiva1

Yip, I live in a very respectable part, but hey, you don' really know your neighbours, no matter where you live, now do you

Sad but true

Perfumdiva1

Have you ever lived in Louisianna??

Right on par with Texas, if not worse

Perfumdiva1

Oh My God

My husband loves Terry Pratchett, cant see the fascination myself, more of a Patricia Cornwell gal.........

Oh great! We came to Texas from Louisianna!! 3 yrs here 5 there...i've only been in the states 8 yrs!! :scared: :scared:

Perfumdiva1

Where in La were you, I have been here for 7 years in total, 1 1/2 LA, rest here

Perfumdiva1

Do I know you???????

Perfumdiva1

Let me guess, either Baton Rouge, Lafayette, or New Orleans

Celtic_Angel

doubt it i don't get out much...lots of Scots in Lafayette though

i'm Welsh

Perfumdiva1

Two of my good friends in Houston are Welsh, but they didnt live in Lafayette

Poor gals, didnt know what they missed, although I would have a hard time convincing them of that LOL

Surprised you have even heard of Lafayette, if you didnt live there

If you are ever my the West part of town, and fancy a coffee/lots of wine, give me a shout.

Are you in Clear Lake by any chance, my geography is just awful, so just guessing

PD

Celtic_Angel

Coming back to the TV suggestion I have seen that work so well in Columbia, SC. When people have tried to sort things out for themselves they have been fobbed off, phones were always busy to the department you want to be transferred to or the person you want is in a meeting etc etc. On a few occasions in the last 6 months the complaint has been phoned thro to the TV station and the response in getting answers has been astounding. I would not hesitate myself as it sounds it could make a good lead story for the local station.

Sorry girls,
Just got them all down, I hope!
It's not really that bad. Just the youngest that still needs help with bathing and all. She's just turned 5 in November, then there's my son, who's going to be 12 in a couple of weeks. Next is another girl, almost 15 and finally the eldest is a girl, 20 and going to university here at Penn State.

Yes, my Hubby is originally from Iran. He came here in 1978 to go to college and the rest is History. We were married in 1984 and have lived in Indiana (my home state), Kentucky, Illinois (Chicago suburbs), Pennsylvania, Texas (I'm the one who lived in Clear Lake, LOL), and just before coming back here last June, we lived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for four years. We are supposed to all be together in Dubai, but there was no space in either of the American schools there last Spring, so the kids and I came here for the school year and Hubby moved to Dubai alone to open his own firm. He's starting his own business, so he's constantly traveling. He makes it over to see us every 8 weeks or so. But like I said, this life is getting old. I have absolutely NO social life, which is 180 degrees from our normal life. We have always been very social (Iranians love to have big dinner parties) and had loads of friends. Our place here in PA is actally smack in the middle of a retirement community. I'm the ONLY one with kids and no one else here is anywhere near my age (41). The youngest neighbor is 67. It's such FUN!!!

The road construction around Houston never ends. We put up with it the entire 5 years we lived there, but we LOVED Clear Lake and our subdivision. We were 10 minutes from NASA and the kids schools were AMAZING. My oldest went to Space Center Intermediate, which is actually on NASA property! It was great and I really miss it.

And finally, I love Scots. Duncan McLeod is my Fantasy man! Of course I know the actor who portrayed him is a Brit, but close enough. My lifelong dream is to have a month alone sometime to tramp around Scotland, looking at all the castles and ruins. Someday...
