people wonder why alabama. It's easy. My wife and I are building our retirement home on 50 acres we have over in east central AL. we are on the pay as you go process so when it is finished it is paid for. And thankfully it is almost done. we spend about 4 to 5 weeks a year over there now but our jobs are in Houston.

My SN speaks for itself. Last, Middle, First name. Yes its boring, but I have a story behind this...
In High School, I was always getting into trouble like skipping class, talking back to my teachers, sleeping in class, and etc. I got use to signing the discipline paper so much. When I started college, I was writing my name backward on my college essay papers. One of my English college professor ask me, why am I'm writing my name like I am applying for a job? I told her the truth, and she started laughing at me. She was a pretty cool teacher and I didn't get offended at all, but she said...
Professor: "I have never taught an Asian student that has ever misbehaved in school. Are you born in the US?"
Me: "Yes. Orange, TX to be exact."
Professor: "No way!?!? Orange, TX!?!? No wonder you were bad in high school because you were born here. If you were born in the US, you are born to be lazy..."
Me: "
