Stranded In Iowa
 

I'm not the only one lost in the cornfields here, am I?

wouldnt that be the irony of it all? You are the only one in one of the few states where same sex marriage is legal!

i didn't realize that! Iowa never ceases to amaze me. I wonder if that's a marketing ploy!

Born in Iowa but haven't lived there in 42 years!

I just saw that on Nightline or some show like that. I tend to scramble my information, (no, seriously, they are trying to figure why I do this. I am getting all kinds of work ups do figure it out) so maybe it was Idaho...its an "I" state tho..lol:vigil:

I remember back in Iowa City, someone had a T-shirt that said Idaho City, Ohio. Don't feel bad, I guess they are easy to mix up.

Same-sex marriage in the U.S. state of Iowa became legal on April 3, 2009.

thank you, Liam, for letting me know my brain DIDNT scramble the information! :detective:

nope you were right ... i looked it up before I commented. Iowa really does cease to amaze me. I thought I would never even look at transitioning because I imagined it would be difficult having been born in iowa. Then a few years ago out of curiosity I looked up iowa and it is one of the states where you can get the birth certificate changed without having to have all the srs surgeries for your appropriate sex. That really helped me in my decision.

how bad does it snow in Iowa?

I love to hear how some states are supportive of our communities.

SO I wonder where all the Iowa folks are if they arent here?

That's why i teased that it was a marketing strategy ... everyone has left iowa and they are try to get somebody to come! It snows and it's cold and isn't as exciting as most states ... let's just say all their lakes are man made.

Welcome to the Planet, PwrFemme. Nice to see you here. I am nicebutch4u over at the dash site.

I've never been to Iowa - but I understand it's got some great land with lots of barns full of stuff.

Being the *stuff* collector that I am lol I think I would like to travel to Iowa one day.

before the snow of course lol


:nothingtoadd:

Yeah, once the snow is here it can get like the Donner Party. You don't want to be the first one to fall asleep once the cupboards are bare...:hamactor:

born & raised
 

lived in Iowa till just this past March...moved west to Nebraska...still get back there often tho

You can go into Nauvoo to visit/argue with the Mormoms..

No load lined up? You dead heading?

I've been there! I was there with my Mom and Dad years ago and still have the souvenir brick. I think it is a fun place if you like museums geared towards history and they have a whole restored village. But now, that is in Illinois, across the river. Iowa has many of it's own attractions, but I do recommend visiting Nauvoo, if one gets the chance and can spend at least an afternoon there. There is also some fine dining downtown there.

We live in omaha but i used to live and work in sioux city woot woot

Hello Iowa!
 

I enjoyed my visits to Iowa. But, when I was there, it was so cold that it wasn't safe to put your pretty little nose outside the door. I see now why long johns were invented. brrrrrrrr

waving at Mr. Dutch,
:tea:

Not So cold now
 

We're practically having a heat wave here now, temps in the double digits and enough snow melting so I can see the grass on my yard again.

Yes, it is very spring like here now. If you are moving here it won't be that traumatic- until the next winter.

I think we can find some drag shows but they are on way past our bedtimes. We'd look silly asleep in the midst of all the activity.

Yes, I plan to keep you tied up all weekend.

I guess so.

Just in time for the Iowa State Fair? And the brutal August heat and humidity?

next month ?? july?? hmm i am not always here..... but will try to be here as much as i can .. there is a special birthday next month :)

Wooohoo, I think I can handle it!



.....morningstar.....birthday???

I just joined this board tonight; I live up in Northeast Iowa, near the Minnesota border. It's beautiful and scenic here; lots of bluffs that the glaciers missed that made most of the rest of the state flat.
