Many many things make our state great. We were our own country! We have gorgeous hill country and wildflowers, mountains out west, and beaches. We have great steak, seafood, and wine. Our Mexican food is second to none.Sorry don't want to sound like I have an attitude or a jerk just really curious whats so great about Texas? I admit i haven't been there yet so no judgement is being passed I want to visit one day, (someone tell me where to start)
But what is the greatness?

Been in Houston area 13 yrs, but I am not a native. I married one instead :-) I am from the wonderfully beautiful Pacific Northwest. Washington state to be exact. The 1st couple of years here in TX was murder due to the humidty. I always felt like I was breathing through a wet washcloth. I ended up cutting all my hair off to avoid the heat, since it was easier than always having it up.
Now I work out in the pool when the weather gets too hot. You can burn a lot of calories treading water, casually swimming laps or running in the water. You can also do toning exercises; the water resistance is a sneaky way of working out without realizing it. Bonus for the effort, you never get sweaty! I actually miss it during the winter.
Other options include being inside when it is to hot and working out with the WII. Best invention ever as far as I am concerned to remove the boring part of working out. Plenty of variety and you can do it with the kids. I have learned how to do yoga, golf, and even tennis. Nothing like a contest to get the activity level up.0 -
ME!!! I live in Dallas :happy:0

I may not be from Texas, but I now live in El Paso! I can relate to the heat. My biggest trouble tho is when I am gone all day (SAHM); I haven't figured out how to eat healthy without worrying about food getting spoiled in the car!0

Howdy from Plano! Just back from an 85 degree run, and it felt cool to me haha....compared to what we usually get here in ol Texas. I *try* to beat the heat by getting up early in the morning...but that doesn't always happen. I'm a shade seeking runner, and prefer trails when I can get them. So chug your water, boys and girls, and pray for October! 0

First off, let us say how sorry we are that you live in New York state.
You can't possibly understand "Texas"! Please know I'm just joking with you about New York...and please do visit Texas! Texans are the friendliest & most generous people on earth! Go to the beautiful Texas Hill Country...tube the Guadalupe or Comal Rivers, spend a day at Schlitterbahn & get "initiated" into Texas culture, go to San Antonio and explore the River Walk and the Mercado...& be sure to eat at Mi Tierra, go to Austin and enjoy some live Texas music, watch a high school football game on any Friday night anywhere in the state, the list goes on and on! I live in Houston- come check out our museums, theatre, shopping & restaurants. Gotta warn you...we are proud people...if you visit and still feel the same way, best keep it to yourself! 0 -
Born and raised in Southeast Texas (the Golden Triangle area of Beaumont - Pt. Arthur - Orange). Raising my boys here as well! Moved away to other states, but nothing is ever like home!!!0

I'm from there but living in Mississippi now. :P Going next weekend for 5 days though but I don't know if I'll be getting any workouts in. I've got several places in mind for when I move out of Mississippi and going back home to Texas is definitely one of them.0

Hi! I live in Silsbee, Northeast of Beaumont, Texas. HOT and HUMID and I work at a plant in Orange, Texas so I am out in the heat all the time!0

Never ask a person where they're from. If they're from Texas, they'll tell you. If not, don't embarrass them.
To answer your question: People are just proud of Texas. Not all, mind you, but most. How? I don't know, probably because we can secede from America and still survive. Maybe because of the Alamo. Maybe because we have an independent power grid. Maybe it's because we have the best BBQ in the nation and 3 of them sit right in Lockhart.
Perhaps it's because of all the beautiful women. Maybe because of the diversity of the state as a whole. Could be because of the schools (Tech, UT, A&M, Baylor, etc...)
Maybe it's because people are just proud to be Texans.0 -
Born in Port Arthur, Raised in Beaumont, Live in Houston!! Yep, brutally hot all the time. Happy Summer! 0
