Where is everybody from?

[David In Indy]

I'm from the Southwest.  Las Vegas to be exact.

Good ol' Lost Wages. I haven't been there in years.

Welcome To Bettermost JT.

Thanks David!  I love it here in Bettermost!  It's good to hear "Las Veges" mentioned in the movie eventhough it was mentioned by a not very likable character and not a good impression of this city.  But still, it was in the movie.

I just took the poll. Yes I'm from the midwest out here on the prairie. Well it was the prairie, of course it's all built up now. I was born in Minneapolis Minnesota; I have always lived here. A friend and I were talking about if you are a straight female looking for a straight male in Minnesota you might as well look for a __ in a __ ! (I can't think of an analogy right now. Or is it a metaphor??). Besides having a higher population of women, Minnesota has a high percentage of gay men.

I'm just starting to read & post here on Bettermost - another IMDb refugee. I want to post some photos of my yard and cats (I have 3) later on. I loved the photos of the baby roo! Thanks for that. When I was a kid I wanted to be the person in the zoo who took care of the baby animals. So I grew up to be an administrative assistant. huh?? And a frustrated artist (don't spend enough time painting). Iffin ya'll will excuse me, I gotta to do the mornin chores now. 'bye

Your post was wonderful, but one part of it really caught my eye....

Minnesota? Prairie?

I have to ask this....

Do you live anywhere near Walnut Grove? Or Sleepy Eye? Or Mankato?

Your post reminded me of the show "Little House on the Prairie".

I love Minnesota! I have been there several times and it is an awesome state!   

Please be sure to post some pictures of your yard and your animals!     We would love to see them.

I live in the CITY of Minneapolis. I haven't been to Sleepy Eye, but I once got drunk at the Stoned Toad in Mankato. I drove through Walnut Grove. Never a fan of Little House on the Prairie (book or tv show) but a friend who grew up on a farm near Walnut Grove liked the books. Here's my little "house on the prairie." (Actually it's on a city lot near Minnehaha Creek and Highway 35W)



One of my kitties - looking out and looking up.
         
And last but NOT least, here's a photo of my boyfriend  ......he smiles a lot

How cute! 

Thanks for posting the pictures of your house, your cute cats and your cute...... ..boyfriend!

[David In Indy]

Oh! I just noticed something!

Minnehaha Creek? I have been to Minnehaha Falls before!

I remember the story too (I think).

Didn't Minnehaha jump over the falls with her lover? She was a young indian maiden. I visited Minnehaha Falls when i was about 10 years old (I am 43 now) and perhaps my memory fails me, but I think i remember hearing this story when we were there. Anyway, Minnehaha Falls was beautiful! I DO remember that!

Nice humpy-butt kitty, Leslie!

Here's another picture of Henry, plus a picture of my house in Baltimore, bathed in last winter's snow.

[David In Indy]

Coffeecat -

If you hadn't told us, I would have guessed the picture of the house was taken in Minnesota! That is a lot of snow for Maryland. But if I remember correctly, they had a pretty rough winter last year.

Even here in central Indiana, we normally don't see that much snow.... Thank God.

[henrypie]

David -- it must be confusing to have coffeecat and henrypie posting their houses and cats!  I'm henrypie, aka Sarah, and we got one good dump o' snow last winter.  It vanished in a couple of days.

On with the kitties!
