From CA, don't hate me please...

Welcome on over here from up at Foat Wurth. Sounds like youve had some tribulations..Praise the Lord for bringing you out on the far side. Now I thought MD Anderson was in Houston for some reason. Did they open up a branch in this area? I usually only get skin cancer and those not the virulent type..so I aint an expspurt on oncology. Thankfully. Now my brother is fighting lung cancer..and winning so far. They got him on some immuno booster drug developed in Israel I think. Has kept him alive a for a long time now. Its called op Divo. Has been shown to be helpful for a bunch of cancers. Even read one article said it cured a guy in France of Cancer and Aids at the same time. Has a lot of nasty side effects but not as bad a chemo.

Yes, MDA is in Houston, but I liked the Fort Worth area much better, so that's where I'm living now...Best of luck to your brother, I hope that drug continues to work for him!

Welcome to Texas & the site.
If you like fly fishing you need to get to the coast & sight cast for some redfish. I've been throwing the buggy whip for a several years...got a 5wt & 8/9wt. But have been using conventional tackle mostly here lately.
One of my buddy's runs a guide service on the coast & specializes in sight casting for redfish. He has a polling skiff & kayaks if you interested, check out Rick Spillman www.rickskayakadventures.com

Interesting, thanks, I'll check it out.

Welcome, and forgiven !!!
I'm also from CA, an avid shooter (I know, unusual on this forum, right?) and amateur radio operator. Came here just over 13 years ago, and couldn't imagine my life back there. Second best thing I ever did (getting married to current wife is first).

Nice, another ham and shooter!

I'm sure Soros employ's people too, but I wouldn't want them here either.

You would if the economy goes in the toilet.

Uh, no.

I've studied for the Technicians license, but haven't taken the time to find a local club to test at and finally get it done. I was an avid CB'er (don't snark) in the 70's, and used to work some skip comms off the wharf near us.. good times. I guess I need to get off my but and get the Technician out of the way and then test for General.

Life was easier for me when the economy in this area wasn't so great. Although I'm not hoping for the economy to get bad, if it were to slow down a bit I can live with it. But no matter how bad the economy were to get here, I would NEVER hope for this area to be more liberal no matter how much it would help the economy. I'll take freedom over wealth anyday.

Hey All, I found this forum this morning while searching on TX gun laws.

I'm 50 years old, and recently went through some mid-life problems. In January I lost my mom due to cancer. At the time I was going through a divorce from a 21 year marriage. In June I was diagnosed with a similar cancer that my mom passed from, and so I chose to be treated at MD Anderson, and to facilitate that I bought a house in the Fort Worth area and dove immediately into treatment. I finished treatment in September and moved into my new house, and began the recuperation phase. That's been a very difficult road, and there was a lot of rough days and nights that I'm happy to say I got through with a much stronger faith and positive outlook that I gained in going through all of this.

Anyhow, I'm a long time shooter. I was an avid shooter in CA, and lived there all my life. Due to the politics, gun laws, traffic, high prices, and everything else, I was looking for just about any reason to get out of CA - and when I got my cancer diagnosis it was clear that TX was the place to go - it was on my short list already along with ID and NC, but MD Anderson being in Houston cinched the deal. I found a wonderful house in Haslet and bought it immediately, and have been very happy with it.

Other hobbies include Amateur radio and amateur radio contesting, fast cars, espresso and coffee and coffee roasting, metal detecting, fly fishing, and most geek things. I work in high tech.

Please don't hate me because I'm from CA - I promise I'm not like most of the CA types - I respect TX completely for what TX stands for, and am a very faithful person, law abiding, and very supportive of individual rights, religious freedom, and all the other things that are starkly NOT CA "benefits".

I really like the area I'm in, and am looking forward to learning more about local gun/sportsman clubs, training, and community service in ways I can give back a bit...

Thanks for making this community - I'm looking forward to reading, learning and getting to know folks here...

Hey Jeff

Welcome to Houston and I am also a former Californian moved here to Humble, TX in 2003 and have lived here ever since. I am hoping you receive the best treatment from MD Anderson as I deal with people coming from foreign countries to seek medical care there. I have not regretted moving here and I will never vote for a political party which supports more gun control or make the bs comment common sense control. I shoot both in Houston area and San Antonio area as I have relatives living over there. Good luck and keep us up to date on your progress.

Yes, do it! You'll love it!

Thank you for the nice and kind welcome, I appreciate it. I got great care at MDA and found Texans as a whole to be much friendlier than I had expected. I am with you on the political stuff for sure!

I would go for both at the same time, for 2 reasons:
1) The General is not much harder than the Technician, some questions are very similar, just more of them.
2) That way you only have to pay one exam fee. You can go straight to Extra if you wanted to and only pay the $14.00 fee.

Impending recession? Economy going into the toilet? Want Soros people here when it happens?

What's your basis? I'd like to understand...

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

ZW’s belief system (whether correct or not) is different.

Accept it and ignore it or argue a moving target are the choices you’ve got with him.

Buzz and some of the rest of us would like to understand.

Fan of soros and his ilk are ye?

Or, do I not understand yer point?

That's jobs here. Taxes here.

More jobs equal a stronger economy. Again this not hard to understand.

Sorry, was not my intention when I created this thread

Don't apologize. This forum would be pretty boring if we all just agreed with each other all the time.
