I think Rogers/Bentonville, AR (aka Northwest Arkansas) may be a good choice. There are tons of transplants and businesses because of Walmart. And it has great climate to have a hobby farm. We live an hour from there now but use to live in Fayetteville, which, by the way, has one of the best farmers markets in the country. :)

My husband commuted 1 hour and 15 one way for 2 years. We call them "the lost years". It was awful. The commute affected him physically more than we would have thought. That being said, we know a family where the husband has been making the same commute for 10+ years and he enjoys it.

About 15 for me. I'm 5'6. Sure wish it was less. ;)

I saw this list yesterday. I was glad to know that I am not the only one suffering Downton withdrawals. I wish Sherlock would have made the list. We started Sherlock on Sunday and are hooked!

Look at a map and see how much larger Dallas is than FW. It is crowded, congested and very much a "big city". Fort Worth is a large-ish city but retains a smaller city feel. We have an original downtown stockyards that cowboys drive a herd of longhorns through twice a day. I rest my case. :D
I don't mean to suggest that FW has no traffic. It does, particularly up through the northern parts. But it has a low cost of living, great museums, a world class zoo, great suburbs, a fabulous children's hospital, gardens (Japanese and Botanical), and a nice cultural district. There is high end corporate living in apartments and houses in the suburbs on acreage for families and everything in between. I grew up in Fort Worth. I currently live in a suburb on acreage. I might go to Dallas once a year. There is really no need.
Thank you! This is good to know. We looked at a job in Dallas a couple of years and changed our mind after visiting. I was one of the ignorant folk who lumped them together.

"Let go and let God."
I agree!
Also, "reach out" to so and so

Also, my pet peeve is that Fort Worth gets lumped in with Dallas in "DFW". They are so very different. Fort Worth deserves to be separated. It is quite possible to live in Fort Worth and surrounding areas and almost never darken the door of Dallas proper. Ask me how I know this. :D
Not trying to hijack the thread, but why is Fort Worth so much better than Dallas? What makes Fort Worth so great? Fwiw, my husband is considering a job there.

I'm from Arkansas and only know of it as an alcoholic drink.

Two of my dds say it is blue and black. My husband, youngest dd and myself see white and gold. So bizarre. My dds think we are tricking them. :)

I second a running shoe store. I went 2 weeks ago and love my new shoes. They even let me go for a run in each pair I tried on.

I'm guessing that Lemonades are what we call Savannah Smiles. I just tried them for the first time this year. Yum!

It takes me about 1-2 weeks to adjust. I am lifetime and have to occasionally go back to lose 5-7 lbs. And it's always difficult those first couple of weeks. Chewing gum and drinking tons of water helps me.

I really enjoyed the show tonight. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. It brought back so many memories.
ETA: Yes, I am a huge SNL fan! :)

Yes, I am very competitive. :)

In our neck of the woods, it is a sign of respect so yes they say it. They are not required to say it to us though. I am glad to learn that in other parts of the country it is not expected and can even be disrespectful.

I'm excited to see what will come of this.

I was just going to ask about a preorder list. Off to Amazon now...
ETA: does anyone see it not in large print?
No, but I ordered it anyway and just plan to change my order later. I had to preorder something. :)

Best news I've heard in a long time! I needed this today.

I did an 8 mile run yesterday, plus cleaning for a Superbowl party. It was cold and windy yesterday (30s) but nothing like below zero and snow. I prefer to exercise outside, but will skip if it's below 20, which is rare here.

We paused the tv to get a closer look. It said "Choose Your Own Path".

We haven't lived close to one in 12+ years and I miss Runza!! I love the one with mushrooms and Swiss. :)

Love everything about this - the reason, the art, that it's anonymous. Love!

I will come back and reply more tomorrow. But WW worked for me and I think it is totally worth it. I lost 43 lbs, kept it off and have been a lifetime member for over 3 years. If I start to inch back up on my weight (5-8 lbs), then I make myself go back weekly until I am back to goal weight. My favorite thing about the program is that I don't ever have to deprive myself of certain foods. If I really want something, I will allow myself a couple bites. :) I know different programs work for different people, and everyone has to find what works best for them. For me, WW was a lifestyle change I could live with long term.
