Re: Buckeye, Damn Yankee or Hillbilly

[Guest guest]

Bob and group;

I live in Gaffney SC,,, love it here too.. Cant make up my mind to

be a buckeye (a useless nut) again or a damn yankee here

haaaaaaaaaaa... In Gaffney there is no rheumys at all,,however;

the neighboring large city has 2 rheumys.. What is the problem is

rheumys a hard subject in college haaaaaaa..

One in spartanburg don't accept medicaid at all.. THe other one

takes medicaid with medicare so I lucked out there... No offence

taken just wanted everyone to know how wonderful Ohio is and Rhuemys

are hard to find here it also depends on what area your in... Just

my opinion.

Now I am leary of moving to Ohio.. I will have to check out the

rhuemys in Cleveland area before making a move.. Oh actually I am a

hillbilly born in West Virginia.. Seem like I got all the funny

weird nationalities,,, Buckeye,,, damn yankee or Hillbilly haaaaaaa.

gentle kind hugs

PS I went to Ohio State University..
