The Metroplex (Dallas/Ft. Worth) is the worst part of Texas to live. It's absolutely atrocious, and does nothing to counter the image of Texas.

Austin and San Antonio are infinitely better.

One of these days, you're going to get a job, pseudo, here in California, and then midway through your second year, they're going to offer you a 15% pay increase and promotion if you move to Texas for the position.

In the Metroplex ::shudder::

Honestly there is no amount of money I would accept to live in Texas.

One of the home-improving neighbors came by today to ask if I knew anything about a strange car that's been sitting in front of his house for the past few days.

I now have money riding on the chance that there's a body in the trunk.

someone drives one of those monster trucks in my area. i question whether it is actually legal. it is jacked up so high it has ladders to get in and out and it is lit up like a christmas tree. whenever i see it when i am out driving around it reminds me of that movie, the car. i am always afraid it's going to follow me and chase me.

I have yappy dogs living on either side of my house. The one yappy pomeranian's owner finally got the message and has started to shut the damn thing up. The chihuahua on the other side is not as bad but still yaps. There are bazillions of stray cats in my town - it's a wonder there are any birds, squirrels, or rabbits. Nevertheless, my backyard is apparently a refugee camp from Watership Down, as a dozen fat rabbits come out to feed every night on the weeds that I optimistically call...

my trashy neighbors have a tent set up in their back yard today. i have always bitched about how their yard looks like a hobo campsite even before this tent.

you can bet my porch light will be on all night.

Let's see.... I have a possum living under my house along with several wild cats. There are 3 raccoons under the shed. Someone hit a deer last night and knocked it into and over the neighbors chain link fence, this is the second time that has happened this year.

It's been a while since the neighbors called the cops to check on me so I expect a visit from the county finest at any time, esp. if I don't move my car.

The 80 year old dude next door continues his...

We have a different mix of nature here in the desert, although we do have rabbits, both Cottontails and Jack Rabbits. We also have coyotes, snakes, spiders and scorpions, although in almost 5 years in Pahrump I have seen a handfull of scorpions and only one that wasn't the size of a small spider, and I have only seen one snake on our property, and it was small and uninteresting. There are rattlesnakes in the wilder areas on the edge of town, and there are black widow spiders, and worse...

I gave up on this thread being the can't-look-away experience I was hoping for and mowed the grass. I think I may have a slight sunburn.

ARE YOU PEOPLE HAPPY NOW? YOU MADE ME ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING! *sob*

I realized this week two kids in the neighborhood have just gotten their licenses, so they drive all crazy. That's fun.

Okay, it's a weekend and I'm bored. I need to mow the grass but I'm lazy.

Amuse me with your tales of living in the suburbs. Bad neighbors, lawn care woes, all of that stuff is fair game.

I'll start-

One of my neighbors threatens people with a gun if they are out trimming their bushes. The cops won't do anything because he hasn't actually shot anyone yet.

There are several empty houses around here, and the grass is so tall on...
