As some of you know, I AM 1/2 Miss'sspian by birth on my mom's side

I went to college at Millsaps (1970-1975)

and my wife is from Branch, a little community in Scott County about 10 miles from Morton.

We've lived out there in Branch and in Brandon.


We are currently thinking about moving back ...... let me rephrase that we are considering toying with the concept of possibly taking steps toward thinking about maybe moving back to the state in the event that we can work out jobs and living arrangements, etc. (which probably won't work out anyway). There are other family considerations as well.

Anyway, as part of this process, I was hoping that I could get an idea (if not an actual count) of how many DUers are in the state. If you would care to post here or pm me I would appreciate it.

you should find plenty of DUers because the towns are full of people who know how to read and we all know the cure for rabid conservatism is reading.

ETA: I can understand the attraction if you grew up there. There's also the lower cost of living and slower pace of life to make it attractive. I do occasionally think about moving back to NC to one of the islands of liberal heathens there. Then I think about the humidity and get over it.

in the country. We are thinking of moving out to the country and homesteading on some land that my wife owns.
