TEXAS IS THE PLACE TO BE

I look pretty smart convincing IKEA to put their Dallas store in Frisco 14 years ago. Lot a good it did me.

Stucky:

Come on down! We’ll welcome you down and help you get all squared away.
Of course, you won’t be “Stuck in NJ anymore.”

Sigh. I really hate to see this. Many of these transplants are coming from Kalifornia. Fortunately, they are relocating to already blue counties but still…..

Thx, Admin. It’s nice to be missed. I’m just so overwhelmed with shit in my life right now. You have no idea. And I’m not gonna spill my guts with my problems here. We all have problems, right? Most days recently I don’t even want to get out of bed. Those are good days. Other days I pray SMOD would just land on my head and put me out of my misery.

Why would you want to go to where the masses are going?

Thanks, Jim. That act of kindness means a lot to me.

Yeah, the house selling thing is getting quite stressful. Family issues too. A couple weeks ago mom asked me if I would help her kill herself if dad dies first. That kind of fun stuff.

Maybe we just need to get away from this fuckin’ town for a while. Maybe sometime this summer Ms Freud and I will get a hotel in Wildwood for the weekend, and we can meet up and get shitfaced. I haven’t gotten truly shitfaced in 10+ years. Shitfaced! Yeah, that’s the ticket! lol

It can always Be Worse. . .

Just be grateful you are nowhere near Milpitas, CA. cited in the article.

A POS slum So Foul is shouldn’t even be shown on maps. I avoid the place like AIDS and wouldn’t LIVE there if you PAID ME a million dollars.

Admin,

I get up to NJ every year. Got family there. If you guys put together a get together, I’d love a heads up.

Btw, how was your wildwood investment experience? Make a profit?

bb, If it makes you feel better, Admin said we have between us a .00135 share of the growth on TBP. In a negative interest rate world , that is an impressive number.

I wish Uncontrolled would get off his ass and comment more, you and I can’t be expected to do all the heavy lifting here.

And it’s a St Joseph buried upside down. You guys should get it right before you try to sell a house with some Joe Blow buried in the backyard.

Stuck, New Braunfels is a German town, you’d be a half hour away from the whitest city in Texas and the brownest city in Texas.

I don’t like Texas. Besides, those towns mentioned are so small that a family of illegals will double the size of the city overnight.

Until Texas quits their random car confiscation game, and shooting unarmed mentally ill on front porches, y’all can keep it.

Not to mention all the communists from Cali moving in, plus the heat, I definitely wouldn’t see a need to worry about hell in the next life.

You native Texans are going to be pissed once the zoning and licensing rules are demanded by your new residents so they can feel all safe and protected. What fun. Fight back and good luck, it’s difficult to fight against perceived safety. It’s for the children, you know.

And here you were bullshitting us that your parents hadn’t been in love. You little rascal, you. You were the product of full blown love. I read somewhere that all is fair in love and war. So your dad won. Great. Or did you want to be the son of the loser?

Back in Texas, where I’m from, we used to brag on how big and bad our dad was. And we just knew dad had stolen mom out of her parent’s home.

Survivor spouses rarely make it two years after the first to go. So tell Mama if she can give you 2 years, you’ll go ahead and take her out.

How nice to have your parents for so long.
