I was a regular pioneer, back in the mid to late 90's, when it was like 90 hours. I would watch the weather channel every night during the summer and I swear, pray for it to rain. I hated it. I was rising pretty fast and was on the verge of being appointed MS, but moved. When that happened I never quite had the motivation like I did at first. I came close a few times,but after I saw all the ass kissing, volunteering to do saturday cleaning, attendant at Memorials, conventions, and asking to do sound and allllllllll that good garbage would not get me to MS. I said forget it. I was tired of reaching out for that carrot I'd never get. It gets quite old, and it sounds like alot of the men are starting to see that.

Have you ever won anything? In a raffle, lottery, etc?
by restrangled ini am so disgusted right now, more with myself than anything.. we have this big albertsons grocery store monopoly game going where i live.....the more of certain products you buy, the more tickets you receive.
not only are there instant winners, but then you enter codes on line.. ha....after 2 months, i've won $5.00 and a bottle of clorox beach.
i have spent more than i ever would have normally.

Nope.
But you can bet if I EVER won the mega millions, I'd roll up at the hall in the brightest, loudest, and most gawdy italian sports car I can find. There are probably two to three people I'd like to flash my newly found 'booty' in their face. Other than that, I'd fall out of sight quietly.

My mom and her family are from Alabama. The family I know is quite a mix. They are all sweet, generous people. They are alot louder than other family from other places,but they are open and up front with you.
Two of my cousins are former Tide ball players. One for Coach Stallings, and the other a recent grad, has actually made it into the league and we are quite proud of him. That said, I always liked the Auburn Tigers. Texas Tech picked up a fine coach in Tuberville....who I liked just as much as Pat Dye. There is ALOT of talent to choose from here. He may not have to leave the state,lol.
BuT in my opinion, the people are nice....I feel it could be a more diverse there....I'm used to diversity being from Boston. My biggest hang up is that it's too slow. I like having a peace of mind,but the pace of life there is too slow for me...at least at this point in my life.

Yes, I do like the fiestiness of northern women.
sooner7nc,
You're right, who doesn't like JoePa. Bobby Bowden is the southern version of him I found out.
I miss placing a chair ( or trash can, etc ) in my parking spot I spent all morning shoveling. Ok,not really,but it's something I've never seen anywhere else.
