I'm already living there.

I actually saw a redneck get an argument with a Lebanese man and tell him "Go back to your country, you sand n****r!" at the library.


I bet there's much more sand in Texas.


Considering how big Texas is compared to Lebanon, you are correct. :lol:

I wasn't disputing Lebanon's beauty. Rednecks generally don't know much about the world. They might just look on a map and think that just because Lebanon's in the Middle East that it's simply a desert country.

Lebanon is most certainly beautiful - I wouldn't mind going there one day.

So about you Marknis, have you managed to consolidate your thoughts about where you go from here?

Neither would I. I'd like to see a different environment instead of the same Bible Belt roads every day.

I honestly don't know. I am stuck in a routine of getting up, going to work, going to bed, and repeating.

Are there no scenic locals in your own country? Surely there must be. Even within the bible belt.

Being stuck in monotony and boredom is not in necessarily a negative thing.

It has at least got you to the point of wanting to make some changes.

I noticed you said you wanted to see a different environment - is a holiday/vacation needed?

When we get stuck we sometimes need a catalyst to help us move on again and I am wondering what yours is?

I thought the Bible Belt is the name of a some conservative village or some small town in Texas, until I found out in google it's a whole 1/4 of texas.

The picture I found showed it was 1/4 of the US.

It’s a considerable portion of the southern United States from Texas/Oklahoma eastward.

Kentucky and most of Missouri are included. Southern Texas and Florida are excluded.

The Bible Belt should be considered its own country. Most of the people in it consider the rest of the US to be Canada.

If I had more money, I'd definitely see more of the world. I am limited by finances but family drama also holds me back.

I honestly don't have a catalyst. If I fail at something, most of the time I feel so discouraged that I don't even try anymore or I won't try again until later but the result will still be the same.

I did the same as Boo and thought it was only a scattering of places until I looked it up. Yeah, how scary is that! I'ts quite a chunk of the country. I am educated on here everyday.

Re your financial position and family drama - perhaps you could take someone with you and both do you own thing? If you share it would be more cost effective. (Not sure if you have one but) You could say "here, grandma, here's 10 bucks - go get yourself an ice cream and I will see you back here in 10 hours".

Re B19's learned helplessness - I was thinking it was more along the lines of some resilience training or exposure therapy but they can both be heart stopping.

Yeah, I did a typo. I meant of whole of the country.
