Well my fiance is from this area and always wanted to move back and when he got the job offer that he couldn't pass up he took it. He said it's nothing like it was 10 yrs ago. I am from Houma, LA nothing like Shreveport or Bossier and to me Bossier and Shreveport were HUGE. When I moved here well it made those cities very small honestly.

I don't mind really i just choose not to leave the house during the crazy hours and if need to i let him drive :D

What is interesting here the country folks here are "hicks?" or backwoods or whatever I have seen some sites honestly but what is more interesting is the taxes i pay yearly are so massive and the country roads are ALL shell roads none are paved i'm talking about all streets off the main highway. WHere I am from all streets are paved, blacktop whatever if the city owns it now if its a private road you get shells.

You actually know anyone living out in the country (it's called loxahatchee or the acreage here) all their cars are actually white dust colored.

I use to live on an island in Houma, no joke we had 3 bridges and that was the only way off the island and if all 3 broke you were SOL! One was a pontoon if you don't know what that is search it on google floating bridge. I use to love leaving the house in bossier getting to work in 15 min from drive to desk no kidding now no way to drive 7 miles takes 40 min if you are lucky so yes worse than dallas i have driven in dallas and its nothing compared to what i have seen here

heh....

Someone was just bragging to me about Shreveport yesterday and today I find out you have to pass a LAW to get people to pick up their own trash cans....

LAF!!!

Honestly this happens everywhere I'm sure no one place is perfect to live

My "acreage" all 18 of it in East Texas is just about perfect. No homeowners fees other than property taxes. No one but me worries about where my trash cans are (they are all put up). No nasty neighbors to deal with (other than cows wandering onto our property every now and then or the occassional snake!). It's quiet and peaceful. I can grow my own veggies. I can fish in my own pond and lay out by my own pool. It's great!!!!!

I have lived both in the country w/ the snakes, cows, acres of land, neighbors very far away, lay out nekkie to sunbathe, etc and I still prefer the HOA fees with rules. I lived more than 1/2 my life in the country and I just can't seem to adjust the city is the place for me.

I do like knowing no one can put a manufactured home next to me where my house value will go down and also where their barn yard animals won't be using the bathroom in my yard.

Just my .03

This is what makes the world go round, no one 2 people think totally alike. Imagine if we did how boring this world would be.

So this is why you girls like living out in the country. Wonder what one would see on google earth :laugh: Yes a full MOON :laugh: and the grand teetons too :rolleyes:

Isaac

i hate the country!!! :D

Oh come on Scarlett
 

You hate the country and the military ? Having a bad day :D Cheer up purple eyes it will get better. Glad to see you on the board.
Isaac

I hate the country as for living in the country I love the city and would never live in the country again. As for hating the military I don't like the feeling of having someone trying to control my life. I feel if I am out of control then I would need someone but I am not so there is no need to try to control me or my money I work hard for. The military owns your ass if you are in it period and I personally would have never joined. But see I didn't and the gov't still owns my ass i pay them too much money and I don't know if I will see it in 25 yrs.

Not having a bad day actually the best day i have had in months really just giving an honest opinion like everyone else does :peace:
