From northeast Iowa, close to MN border. We have the flu going on here and it is terrible. My 10 yr. old got it Friday, wiped her out completely. Flu is very hard on the youngins this year (long lasting high fever, weak, tired, malaised)--be careful. Everyone take care!!! Carmen K. :cool2:

Robyn

[feline~ fantastic]

:wavy: Hey there Cesare1920. Whereabouts in the Truman Lake area? I lived in Clinton for 15 years. My ex-husband was born & raised there so he & my son will probably live there forever;- mainly because their diehard fishing & hunting men. :rolleyes: Wow Current, sounds like you're a perfect match for my exDH,- I hated fishing so they always went to the lake without me :mad: I went water-skiing with them a few times though. :cool2: Clinton is a really nice town but I almost couldn't tolerate the humidity there. Something I could never get used to. (I'm originally from the northern, cold country). :smile9: I'm now in southern KS and it gets hot here too but just doesn't seem like it's as bad as the Truman area. :smile10: Happy sweeping!

I dont anymore, but use to live in Missouri, a dot on the map called Rover (near West Plains).
Beautiful area but too many ticks and chiggers for this girl (besides I left the ex there...ya all can have him, lol).
Actually I have some good memories of Missouri, we actually (in my best hick voice "rode the horses up to the Rover Store, tied them up, and went in and got a sodi (soda), and watched the guys on the porch play checkers)...I thought I was in a movie, LOL!

P.S. I am NOT calling you nice Missouri folk hicks at all!!!! but I met some wildly crazy people while I was there out in the south 40, heehee.

[autumn1974]

Just wondering how the weather is holding up for the rest of the midwest. We reached 71 degrees today. Unbelievable!! Feels more like Spring than Winter. Now if it would just only last. Unfortunately St. Louis is known for its wierd weather patterns. I am sure by next week we will have a foot of snow here. :snowman:

A VISITOR'S GUIDE TO DRIVING IN ST.LOUIS
The morning rush hour is from 6:00 to 10:00 am. The
evening rush hour is from 3:00 to 7:00 PM. Friday's
rush hour starts Thursday morning.
Gravois, Spoede, Papin and Pestalozzi are streets and roads that can
only be pronounced by a native.

Construction on highway 40, 70, 270, 44, 55, 64 and I-170
is a way of life, and a permanent form of
entertainment.

A St. Louisan from South County has never been to
North County and visa versa. West County has
everything delivered.

If someone actually has his or her turn signal on, it
is probably a factory defect, or has been on for the
last 17 miles.

There are 2 exits on Highway 40 for Clayton Road and 2
for Big Bend.

All old ladies with blue hair in Cadillac's (driving on
Olive St. Rd. west of 270) have the right of way.

Laclede Station Road mysteriously changes names as you
cross intersections...so do McCausland, Lindbergh,
Watson, Fee Fee, Airport Road, McKnight and Midland. No one really knows

what happens to Lucas & Hunt, Brentwood and Kirkham.

Drivers are starting to cut their OWN plates rather
than go through the Mo. Vehicle Dept. to get new tags.
You can purchase tags from dealers behind Quik Shops
in the city. They are cheaper, the clerks are nicer,
and the service is faster.

You can go all four directions on Highway 270 North
and South in West County, East and West in South
County, and East and West in North County. Confused?
So are the St. Louis drivers.

No native St. Louisan knows that Lindbergh runs from
South County to North County. And, if you tell them,
they will not believe you. Lindbergh belongs to every
neighborhood except Kirkwood, who had the nerve to
creatively change the name to "Kirkwood Road".

Never stare at the driver of the car in St Charles or Arnold with the
bumper sticker that says, "Keep honking, I'm reloading"- he really
is.

Any car parked longer than 4 hours in the city, is
considered a parts store.

Highway I-270 is our daily version of the NASCAR
circuit.

YIELD signs are for decoration only. No native St.
Louisan will ever grasp the concept.

If it snows or rains? Stay awhile, the weather will change momentarily.

[clean1scene]

Hi, from Golden, MO. That is by Table Rock lake. :wavy:

Greetings from another KC'r (Raytown actually). I can relate to a previous post by E261L116 about being ia transplanted Easterner. When I first got here I was told "You can always tell a New Yorker...but you can't tell them much". I learned to talk and drive slower.

Thats fantastic blue eyes/autumn1974! So true. I don't know how to pronounce those streets either....guess its cause I've only been in St. Louis for a few years--but technically live just over the river at Scott AFB. I have to travel from IL to Creve Coeur for work! Traffic stinks!
