patience and understanding is the best way to go
You can also become expert in the art & science of administering "wedgies." This will relieve not only your boredom, but also that of others.

Is this your topic of the day? ;)

You know even though I will be moving from AB Canada to Corpus Christi TX there will still be a change.

Don't underestimate the differences there. ;) I moved from Upstate NY to Texas about 10 months ago, and it's a big change, even in the same country. It would take a lot of time to put all the differences down here, but trust me, Texas IS like a whole other country, just like the commercial says. :D For the most part I like it, but some things have taken some getting used to.

I hope you like it hot! I'm in northeast Texas, and the high here today was like 102 or something. BIG change for me, I had never seen it get over 100 before where I was from. High 90's is the norm here, for months. :blink:

Welcome to Texas! Soon, anyway. :thumbs:

I couldn't imagine moving to TX from NY. It's like you said, almost a totally different country. I know a lot of people who have moved there though and absolutely love it, but it takes some getting used to. I also have a friend who moved to AZ, same thing. However, there's nothing like your hometown and no matter where you go you're always going to miss it. :star:
