You must be thinking of Arkansas. LOL

No, you got here as fast as I could get you here!

Me? I was born and jerked up right here.

Born and raised, native Houstonian!

Fourth generation Texan

Me, too! Well, raised in the hill country, I guess.

If I remember right, and it was a loooong time ago, in 7th grade Texas geography, Oklahoma was a county in northern Texas. Something like that.

I'm a native Houstonian as well. Three on one blog post

My family moved here running from the law. This was Mexico at the time so it was several generations back.

Born, raised, and stayed in Texas

Better than Memphis BBQ, for sure...but our East Tennessee BBQ is still pretty good. I like a good mesquite smoking, but I was weaned from the bottle with a hickory smoked rib.

Nah, where I grew up in East Tennessee, we considered anything left of Knoxville to be 'East Arkansas'.

All kidding aside - we love it here in Texas, but have very fond memories of Tennessee

(Sorry I couldn't make the 'linked' TN smiley the same size as the TX one - that was a function of what I could find on the web, not an indication of anything else.)

5th generation Texan. 6th and 7th are here too.

Born and raised in upstate NY. Most think of a busy city when they think of NY, but most of NY is actually pretty country. There were a lot of rednecks in the area that I grew up in. Moved here a few years ago and don't plan on leaving. However, moving out of the busy DFW area and into a less populated area of Texas is our goal for the near future.

I was born in NY, but I assure you I am a Texan.

Not from here but I've been here longer than anywhere else. since 1977. 36 years
