So does anyone know what West Virginia is like? This weekend I'm going with a 7thunders team there and have never been. I've heard...and this is not really meant to be negative or positive...that West Virginia is sorta like the East Coast's Arkansas.
I went Christmas shopping this past Sunday. There's nothing like rubbing elbows with strangers all day while searching for presents. Every year I try to avoid the mall at all costs but it seems year after year I return for someone on my list. And thus, another year of shopping came and I went to the mall. The mall at Christmas time is like sensory overload. Full of people first of all. Mean people. People desperate to sell things. People in a hurry. People taking their time. Young people. Old people. All kinds of people. Secondly, it's full of Christmas junk that clogs the senses. Christmas music. Christmas trees. Christmas ordaments. Christmas Santa's. Christmas outfits (you know grandma's with light up trees on their sweaters and bells on their sneakers). And of course, Christmas presents - everywhere.

I went to West Virginia once, It was on a missions trip, so I went to the really poor parts of West Virginia. The weirdest thing to me about WV was that people had really nice cars or satellite TV, but their houses were pretty much falling over.
Ordaments? Are those like decorations that are scented?
I've not been to WV, but I've heard it described EXACTLY like Andy did.
dng andy took the words right out of my mouth.......
the call the satellite dish the state flower cause everyone has one even if you are poor
ordaments...did i spell that wrong. it's ornaments. oh blog world please don't make fun of me beacuse i don't know how to spell!
yup. Andy's words are true. I would know. I live in VA....not to be confused with West VA....you will probably be shot if you do (wow that didn't sound redneck or anything....)
The christmas stuff sounds like a Dr. Seuss book. =D
Obviously they don't have the internet up there, you guys haven't posted anything since you disappeared north of the North Carolina state line.
