I may wind up moving to Denver. How long dose it take to acclimate to the mile high altitude.?
I am originally from Dallas, Texas and never lived or visited a high altitude city.

I used to live in Dallas - the altitude won't be your biggest factor. That will take no time. It will be the lack of humidity that will take a LOT of getting used to.
Now I hated the humidity in Dallas, so I love how dry it is here. But your skin/nose/hair will need quite a while to adjust.

4 or five days. Just don't do a lot of running around.It's not a big adjustment. Drink plenty of water, even if you're not thirsty.
It's very dry here. Also easy on the booze , you can catch a buzz real quick because of the altitude.

It varies. I moved here from the UK and have never once been affected by the altitude. However, my partner moved here from California a few months ago and he stills finds climbing lots of stairs leaves him a bit breathless and he can't run as far/exercise for as long as he did (and he's pretty fit). You'll just have to come here and see - just take it easy and don't go rushing into anything too strenuous for a few weeks. Oh yes, and drink lots of water!
