I really didn't think it went that far up into the state. Thanks.

TheMercenary · 01-04-2010, 02:08 PM

Yep. You are right.

Hill Country is beautiful. Texas really isn't that bad.

morethanpretty · 01-04-2010, 02:12 PM

The confusion is partly my fault. When I think "Hill Country" I think Austin because I've spent more time closer to Austin than I have San Antonio. I should have just said Hill Country instead of Austin area. I also used the city because I thought it would be more recognizable since its the capitol and more people not familiar with Texas would be able to figure out where that is.

When most people think of Texas they think of the Hollywood view which resembles something more like the Panhandle. Even the Northeast part of the state is rolling hills

I love it in Texas, every time I went I wanted to stay.

I probably only find it funny because I don't live in Texas... but... Sam's original post is one of the funniest I've read in days

Born and raised in Beaumont. Dear gawwwwd.

We moved away when I was 10 and I never went back until 2007, when I was offered an awesome job in Dallas that would have set me up quite nicely, financially.

Sorry. We're talking about Dallas. Texas. No can do.

I'd much rather be broke.

SamIam · 01-04-2010, 04:17 PM

Thank you, SG!

But no one has yet to answer my question about bar glasses. Do Texans really drink out of bar glasses with ads on them?

I think my friend is being conned on this. I can't figure out how bar glasses could be such money makers. Can anyone explain this? Flint? Morethanpretty? Someone?

If I had to guess, it's a commission sales position. The mfg takes very little risk.

Clodfobble · 01-04-2010, 04:46 PM

I imagine that the sales position is a scam, and she knows it, but that it's really just an excuse for her to go hook up with her old boyfriend, so she doesn't care.

dar512 · 01-04-2010, 04:52 PM

What does she do now?

She has a really good job with the local newspaper. She's supervisor of advertising (her name is on the masthead) and co-ordinates all the departments in general. Her Dad used to own the paper, but he sold it to Ballentyne(sp?). She has worked there 18 years getting promoted as she goes along. Everyone in town knows her and thinks highly of her.

That's one reason I can't believe she's taking this dip shit job. As people have commented, I guess she's simply in lust with the BF. I just hope he's a decent guy.

To answer SamIam, what Clodfobble said. As for this question, "Do Texans really drink out of bar glasses with ads on them?" beats me. But if you do a search online, there is a site that offers personalized bar glasses and etc. They will personalize any glassware you need to promote or advertise your business, etc.

Blah, sorry your friend is leaving you. That gotta suck.

Texas has Austin right? Home of gaming expos. I'd like to visit Austin.
