Yep - that’s me. Very rural area in a deep red county in good ol tx. But I hear ya. And where I am, maga does control so I keep quiet because they’re just batshxt crazy. You’d think by now the farmers and ranchers who voted for drump would get the message by now. But damn! We do what we can!!!
I grew up 7miles south of OK. I couldn't wait 2 get outta that wreck of a town. I was forced 2 have an abortion by my parents & the father's parents. Once the word was out, I was bullied mercilessly. Ppl screamed "MURDERER," in hallways & the gymnasium as I was on 🏀team. Id like to punch a bit@h!🥊👊🏼☠️
If you restrained yourself from punching somebody out - you’re much better than I was. I was notorious for fighting. Had I been there - I would have done it for you!
AWE!! How very kind of you!! Oh yes, I remember girls who went missing from school. Off to the unwed mother's home. A friend i met at Grayson Co College, mom helped me. She Co tasted the Luthern church in Dallas for adoption plan. Where you @OnBowenPond from x?? 🤔
No. I forgot who I was on the dead bird. I need to go look. Rarely go back there
Yeah - thought it was sad how pregnant girls treated back then. Seems worse now. When I was in the orphange and a girl disappeared overnight - we knew why. Most of the time never seen again because she was banned. I’m familiar w that home. We had an unwed home connected us to us.
Really? Spent my first 10 yrs in Grayson county. Used to ride my bike to the red river to fish in the summers. And my dad - the bootlegger of the county during that time. I’m so very sorry you went thru that. A 17 yr old disappeared from my neighborhood when she got pregnant - was sent to unwed home
WHOA!! I grew up in Bells, Grayson Co. Hung out at the SherDen mall & lake Texoma!! This is BIZARRE!! I'm a fighter, but they were a pack. I couldn't take on the entire group. Now, I would. LOL!! "Im not as sweet as I used to be." Im like Ousier Boudreaux in Steel Magnolias!! 😉😆🤣🤣
Lol - that’s who I identify with in that movie! Wow! That is a small town. I was in Denison- not far from you. Yeah - I tried to take on a group once. They showed me. But I got them back. One by one and when least expected. Lake Texoma and Burns Run were my fav. But so was the River.
BURNS RUN, YEEESSSS!! Swim to the island!! Oh & The Electric Co to party down!!!!! This is so crazy but I love it!!! Loved to go to Denison & drive up & down Main st & to Sonic & back again!!! LOL
Yeah - main was the drag back then. So was whatever street the wagon wheel was on. I loved Main Street and the cobblestones. Used to go watch the trains too. I bet that place has changed a lot.
Mom worked for the Katy railroad back then!! Yes, the trains!! Main street is no longer curvy. We visited Hendrix awhile back & Main st is now straight!! Im like, "What happened!?" I liked it curvy!! We used to camp out at Eisenhower or West Burns Run. Ski & take the dirt bikes!! SO FUN!! 🏞🚤🛵🏍
Lol - that would be me!!! I only went camping at the river and some secret place my dad found. But no tent!!! Truck bed for me, ground for him, truck cab for my mom. But the food was great!
Denison!!
Hey! You know Denison? My town!!!
Awe yes!! The glorious river!! SO FUN!! I can recall sleeping in pickup bed. Mom insisted we sleep in the tent while mom & dad slept outside in the fresh air, under the willows. Dad became an auctioneer & finally came home w a popup camper. I thought we were rich!! SMDH!! 😂
I would have lived a real tent! Mine was a sheet tossed over tree branches but my dad wouldn’t let me sleep order it. But I loved the truck bed. Do you remember the old ice boxed where you had to put a block of ice in it? That’s what we had on the River bottom.
Such great memories! Is the train depot still there? I used to hide behind those big poles until I heard a train coming. There was an elderly man there who would give me M&M’s. Innocent days. Lol - there was a bank w revolving doors- my fav toy. Drove them nuts but so much fun! Sad about main st!!!!
Oh yes, revolving doors!! When we came to Dallas I LOVED those doors!! Im not sure. We went up 75N & took a R on Main St. I was so surprised abt the changing the streets, that's all I yammered abt!! 🤪🤪🤪
Why did they make those changes? Main Street is what gave uptown (as my dad called it) it’s charm. I know Kress has prob been long gone.
Back in my day, they had a small carnival at Burns Run. Wonder if that place even exists anymore. Sonic. Girl - way after my time. They had a Wagon Wheel and thought we were big time when a McDonald’s came in saying how many burgers they sold. Then there was ashburns ice cream on main. I loved main
