LOL  I had to get used to the men, also! Those stetson hats, boots all the time and even the women wear boots ! I hate boots !   Those big ol' belt buckles.  Still not used to that look.

BUT, Tx. men are real respectful of women. They will hold the door for you, call you ma'am, tip their hats for you, and just treat you better. Raised better I assume.

Up in Ind. they holler from the cars "hey 'B' or you gonna turn or what"?

let the door slam in your face, no yes or no ma'am 's up there. LOL

@SharkE  I love Wales.  My Dad was Welsh and I spent some of my early childhood in the Rhonda Valley in S, Wales hated when we came back to London after the War but soon became a Londoner again!  Hampton Court and Churchill’s home are two of my faves.

What really impressed me here was when we visited NASA and saw the space missiles and Annapolis blew my mind.  I still have not seen the White House but would like to.  Oh yes saw the Alamo too - great history and I love New York.

@Pearlee  Wow I get your meaning re riff bl—dy  heck deja vu I am sounding like The Meg.  Help!  Lol

[SharkE]

Yeah, we went to Washington before 9-11 glad we did back then.

Saw the alamo, saw Annapolis too.

Dh's fav spot is Hawaii. He loved it over there. We don't travel any more by plane. No way would I go near New York. 

Did all the Islands back when we were young too. took cruise ships to Puerto Rico, few other places. No way now people just get sick that take the cruise ships.

I'd love to see Paris, but, forget it I'll buy a DVD on the history of it LOL

@SharkE   I know I did really take to the cowboys loved the attention - my accent - their outfits I was in Texas heaven.

@SharkE -

That is the most interesting and detailed descriptions I've read of what it is like! Thank you , I really enjoyed reading about them!

[dulwich]

@SharkE  Been to Hawaii twice and did not like it very much found it too touristy so maybe we did not find the right places.

Paris been there so many times it is a hop, step, jump from London.  Love the food, but best of all love the south of France - spent several summers there and it is bliss.  Also other fave Venice and Florence.  DH goes back and forth to  U.K. on business so he never wants to travel much anywhere now.

I'd want to see all the French history places. Marie Antoinette, Palace of Versaille, Hall of mirrors, where she was beheaded, museums, on and on.

Somebody told me once they wasn't real big on Americans and we can't speak French. He took French in college, but, that was long time ago. LOL

I read so much on the British I've let some of their lingo into my every day speaking. LOl 

I say ol' chap

You lot

Having a financial reverse

ROFL

@SharkE   What I would really like to do is follow the Tour de France - not me cycling lol - but I love watching this race and seeing all the scenery and seeing all the villages. Lance Armstrong was my hero before his downfall!

The French and Brits have a real love/hate relationship - which has gone on for years but we still holiday there and lots of my friends moved permanently to France but most of them now moved back home before Brexit.

O.k. Your lingo I have learned -  Ma’am, pardon me, Hi how are you, you’re welcome, Have a nice day, Defence (yelled at football games which I do not understand at all the game I mean) lol.

@dulwich You seem very happy and grateful that @Pearlee asked how you were adjusting to life here, but Meghan is criticized when she honestly answers about how she is doing during an interview.  She is a person just like the rest of us.  I understand how most people feel about it, but I'm just saying that it is really nice when someone asks about YOU.
