Hello from a newbie..
Hi everyone!
I wasn't sure where to say hello for the first time, so I chose here. Anyways, a friend of mine invited me here. I have a house in Montana and my youngest going to MSU Bozeman. Unfortunately, I live in Nevada now, on 6 acres of sand. But one day, when I get to retire, I'll be back in Montana living in my house. Just wanted to say hello and I'm having a blast reading all of your threads! You guys are very informative and have helped me a lot already! Thanks!

Dry, brown, boring. *lol* Growing up I always hated driving through this state on our way to Montana. Once I finally moved to Montana, I swore I'd never drive through here again. Now I'm living in it! I've been introduced to allergies for the first time, a dusty house all the time, and a whole lot of dryness. I miss trees!

Welcome, Montana Girl! Haven't ever been, but have always wanted to see your state. Maybe one day. My sister and her family live in Henderson, NV and have acreage, I think somewhere near Elko.

Welcome from Oklahoma.
Oklahoma is just like Montana. Well, without the mountains, the cool breezes, the snow, the clear-water streams, the athletic/energetic people, the bears, the high-altitude clear air.
But we also have a big sky. It pretty much covers the whole state.

Ahhh...sensiblities! I have little sense! Afterall, I moved here! *lol* Just kidding, I know what you meant. I've been here for 7 years now and still just hate it. I wish they had jobs in Montana that paid as well as here.

Here, let me see if I can go outside and take a pic of where I live....I'm assuming that I can use photobucket to post a pic. Is this right?

Well, then you've given it a try! I have only visited and so I've not been in it long enough to tire of it, but enough to appreciate its good points.

Bleh, I had to spend a year in Vegas, it was awful. Are you near enough to Mt. Charleston to escape on the weekends? Anyway, welcome to the board

Vegas, you poor thing! Thats an 8 hour drive for me, never been there and never plan on it. *lol* I don't know where Mt Charleston is, never heard of it. I'm gonna google it though! Thanks!

Montana, that looks beautiful, but then 1) I don't have to deal with 120F highs and 29F overnight lows--in the same day and 2) I don't have to amend that dusty looking soil to try to grow food in it.
But you do not have to put up with your neighbors teenage kids looking out their bedroom window into your back yard.

True true true, I have no neighbors to speak of. That's the very BEST part of living where I do. I hate neighbors and all their little dramas. *lol*

Welcome
Welcome Montana Girl, from an old Kansas flatlander.
When you get bored, if that ever happens, you might enjoy some Montana early day history involving my great great uncle Rudolph Dorsett. He was a gold prospector as was his brother, and he was murdered there in 1863.
