@macdaddy: This changes this dramatically. Now that we know you are actually a Yankee - Get a Rope!

@lana7018:

I have been here 37 years so I am a Texan

Born in Oak Cliff (Dallas)...grew up in Mesquite, moved to Arlington after school...ended up working in Houston, met my wife and never got to leave.I have however worked in almost every state in the US....while there is something to love about them all...Texas is unique.

@macdaddy: I was just up there recently...actually had a project in Mentor. Went thru James Garfields home...very cool.

My mother worked in Mentor.... And I have aunts in Madison.....
Pretty country up through there .... Lots of Penn Dutch and Mennonites up there....

I was

Born in Tulsa, OK; lived in Yokosuka, Japan (naval base); Norfolk, VA (naval base); Langley, OK (on the Grand River); back to Tulsa; up to Peck, MI; back down to Norman, OK; up to Oak Harbor, WA (NAS Whidbey Island); then to Everett/Marysville, WA for 20 years (longest I have lived anywhere); now almost three years here. I hope to be able to spend my final years somewhere near the Pac NW mountains, as my wife was born and raised in Tacoma, WA, and my exceedingly high affinity for that type of outdoor environment.

Native Texan and Houstonion.This is MY house!!!!!!

Born in Orlando and came to Houston when I was 3. Grew up going to school in Houston and spending my summers and winters on my dad's farm in Indiana. Country/City Girl here.

Born in Houston,St.Luke's.

Houston born and raised.

Been here 39 years almost 40. Born in Southern California melting pot for every radical, religion, race, color and creed…still is. Fell in love with the Texas way of living… married the love of my life a Native Houstonian with very strong family ties to Texas history…. Davy Crockett. Proud to say Texas has allowed me to raise 3 of the most open minded children, now adults. And they are doing the same. Still hate the Texas humidity.

Born in the Canal Zone... came here as soon as I could. I've been in the Houston area since 1989.

Born in Texas, always lived in Texas, never plan on leaving
