Talking

With all of Texans here, I heard many years ago that you never ask anyone if they are from Texas.. If they are from Texas they will gladly tell you they are from Texas and if they arnt well, you dont want to embarrass them.. Is this true ?

Yeah, do wannabe's count??? I lived in Texas twice (Amarillo and just west of Ft. Worth) and would go back in a heartbeat-if the DH was willing. (sigh)

Moved to MS from TX (Dallas/Ft. Worth). Daughter lives NW of Ft. Worth. Moving from TX was a HUGE mistake. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
