[quote=desmond]Some lame reasoning not to move so far:
“Have a nice day”
“Friends want to move back, but can’t”- (actually this is good reason to move-it proves it is too expensive in the first place)

I’ve remained quiet on your move to Texas so as not to rain on your parade, but since you’ve seen fit to insult fellow posters I’ll change that rule.
Texas sucks. I know. I’ve lived there.
Hotter than hell, humidity that forced me to take 2 showers a day, the stench of slaughterhouses and cow shit everywhere, dozens or hundreds of miles between any two places you want to go, and bible-thumping self-righteous nosy do-gooders in every other house.
Like you, my first year there was enjoyable. It was something new and novel. It was fun meeting new people, new customs, and loved that Texas drawl on the females.
But all that wore off within two years and I wanted out. It took several more years to make that a reality, but I eventually was able to sling myself into Northern Calif where I met my beautiful wife and the rest, as they say, is history. Steve Miller was right: the girls are indeed warm in Northern California.
