Thank you for the wonderful comments!!! For those of us that
are "Poor Oklahoma people", the simple things in life are what makes
life worth living!!!! We all have a love for each other, God and
family that will never go away, people like fanofdiane will never be
able to know how we truly care. As far as I'm concerned, they can go
on down the road kicking rocks!!
I want to thank everyone here for being fans of Cowboy! You are all
great, I wish each and every one of you a Very Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year, be safe on your travels and come back to your
families unharmed. God bless!!

P.S. Please say a small prayer for those who are serving our country
downrange, they are fighting for rights we take for granted every
day.

doesn't make a person better than someone else. It's what inside a

That statement shows absolutely no class what so ever. It proves
that no matter what you do in life, there is always someone there to
put you down.

normal. The way Michael is, well, around here is socially
acceptable. Who gives a darn how it is elsewhere? Personally, I
don't because I don't live elsewhere. I live in an area where it's
quite ok to talk to strangers, you can let your children roam around
and explore without the fear of them being kidnapped. Where you can
go to the store a mile away and come home an hour later and learned
the latest gossip. You don't worry about what others think of you in
the least because you know in your heart your not living for them,
your living for yourself, your family.

> So, I guess you can say, I'm a poor country girl from Oklahoma,
but I am proud of that. I'm proud to say I'm from Oklahoma and it
doesn't bother me in the least that we don't have things of monetary
value. I have the love of my family and friends. I have the morning
kisses of my two little boys. The way my baby yells horsie when he
sees cows. The way my oldest son has to tell the dog he loves her
before we go anywhere. Those are things that money can't buy. Those
are joys in life that others may not ever realize. You can never
call anyone poor in this world because we are all rich in our ways.
It may not be the 'normal' way to be rich, such as being monetarily
rich, but it's rich none the less.
