Diplomacy...the art of telling people to GO TO HELL and have them look forward to the trip.
I guess I'm not very diplomatic...:mrgreen:
only when you want to be.....;)
which reminds me...I've probably shared this before, but maybe it's new to some.
My husband has told me that if he dies, I am NOT to remarry. He would just hate for me to do that. I look him straight in the eyes and tell him, "When you die, one of two things happens. Either you go to heaven, in which case you will be so full of love and joy and peace. You will now be bowing before your God and you will now know what Jesus looks like. You will be so happy, you won't care whether or not I remarry. OR...You will go to hell....in which case, my remarrying is not your biggest problem."
yep, I'm a thoughtful wife. ;)

thanks...but it's just annoyances...
had to go in to my old office first to clean up some problems...took a couple of hours. Then get here (where I don't particularly care to be in the first place) and my computer has been stuck logging off all night...had to punch the button to get it back on. THEN a circuit breaker tripped and I lost everything on my desk...so I had to go find the breaker, reset it, turn everything back on, start over...*grrrrrr*

Triple overtime thats what happened!
Fresno was down by 19 points at the half and came back with a bite, they still lost the game but A&M ranked 23 got schooled by a lower division school. It was sweeeeeeet.
Final score 47 - 45

I met Mr. Mark Chesnutt last night! my husband and I met two guys while sitting at the pool bar, we all got to talking and we bought them a couple of beers. turns out, they work for Mark Chesnutt. Mark was doing a small private acoustical show here in the hotel....so our new friends got us into the show. Everyone else at the show was all dressed casually, but nice. My husband and I were wearing our swimming suits. :eek: we asked if we needed to run and change, but Bob and Kenny told us we were fine....so we went to the show, sat with the sound crew and met the band. after the show, we met Mr. Chesnutt. He was so kind and very friendly. When I get home, I will post a picture....
He is a Texan....he is from Beaumont. :cool:

I don't think Tony is hawt (???) but the Boys did look good...
Here's a bizarre thing, that can only happen in Texas anymore: I was driving to a smaller rural town to do some audio/recording consulting today...on the way out there, I was some guy out of his truck at a cattle gate either locking or unlocking...across the road, behind a 3 strand wire fence, was a bull...not a small bull, but a huge snort snorting, muscle rippling monster that would scare the crap out of anyone with a lick of sense.
The bull was watching this fellow at the gate, when all of a sudden, the bull blasts thru the fence, got momentarily slowed by the tangle, and went charging at the guy...of course, I'm watching this in utter (udder?) amazement - and thinking I hope this 2500 lb son of a bitch doesn't develop a hankering to mount the Geo Prism I'm driving this week...
Anyway, guy jumps in his truck, bull rams the truck once, then goes back across the road, and goes back to grazing... the truck driver appeared OK, his vehicle had a dent on the passenger side bed, and my Geo escaped Hump Free...
Weird day.

Hey friends, just a few jokes to Get everyone through the week.
FRIENDS: Tell you not to do something stupid when drunk
MARINE FRIENDS: Will post 360 degree security so you don't get caught
FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr. and Mrs
MARINE FRIENDS: Call your parents drunk as hell and tell them about the girl you tried to pick up
FRIENDS: Hope the night out drinking goes smoothly, and hope that no one is late for the ride home.
MARINE FRIENDS: Know some wild stuff will happen, and set up rally points and an E & E route.
FRIENDS: Bail you out of jail and tell you what you did was wrong.
MARINE FRIENDS: Will be sitting next to you saying, Man...we messed up...but hey, that was fun!!
FRIENDS: Borrow your stuff for a few days then give it back.
MARINE FRIENDS: Steal each other's stuff so often nobody remembers who bought it in the first place.
FRIENDS: Know a few things about you.
MARINE FRIENDS: Could write a book with direct quotes from you.
FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that's what the crowd is doing.
MARINE FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowds butt that left you.
FRIENDS: Would knock on your door.
MARINE FRIENDS: Walk right in and say, "I'm home!"
FRIENDS: Will try and talk to the bouncer when you get tossed out of the bar.
MARINE FRIENDS: Will man up and go after the bouncer for touching you on the way out.
FRIENDS: Will wish you had enough money to go out that night, and are sorry you couldn't come.
MARINE FRIENDS: Will share their last dollar with you, drag you along, and try to steal free drinks all night
FRIENDS: Want the money they loaned you back next week.
MARINE FRIENDS: Can't begin to remember who owes who money after taking care of each other for so long.
FRIENDS: Will say "I can't handle Tequila anymore".
MARINE FRIENDS: Will say "okay, just one more..." and then 2 minutes later "okay, just one more!".
FRIENDS: Will tell you "They'd take a bullet for you."
MARINE FRIENDS: Will actually take a bullet for you.
Two F-16s were escorting a C-130. Eventually the F-16 pilots got to talking, and bragging about the capabilities of their respective aircraft. Soon their bragging became to incessant for the C-130 pilot to handle, so he says "I can do things in this baby that you boys can't even dream about, watch this." So the F-16 pilots watch as the C-130 keeps flying level along for about 5 minutes. Then the C-130 pilot comes back on, "you see that?" "See what," The F-16 pilots ask. "Well while we was flying just there I went and got a cup of coffee and took a leak."
RULES FOR DATING A MARINE'S DAUGHTER
1. If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up.
2. Remove your hat when entering my humble abode. I may think you have something terrible under it and will do my best to exterminate it quickly, efficiently, and fatally.
3. You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.
4. I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, In order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.
5. I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.
6. In order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is "early."
7. I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.
8. As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?
9. The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter:
* Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool.
* Places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight.
* Places where there is darkness.
* Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness.
* Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka zipped up to her throat.
* Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which features chain saws are okay.
* Hockey games are okay.
* Old folks homes are better.
10. Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.
11. Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy outside of Chu Lai. When my Agent Orange or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car. There is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.

On an upbeat view to our state, an "anonymous" donor paid for the meals for all 300+ attending officers at a nice restauarant last night....I'm guessing around $5K if not more...
That's what make Texas and most Texans truly great...in the face of despair, adversity, and sadness, someone always steps forward and without want of notice or thanks, forks out a huge wad of cash as a silent way of saying "thank you," "we respect you," and "God Bless You."

I hate the weather here. Summer, when it shows up, is far too short and winter shows up early and stays late, just like an unwanted in-law.
In civilized areas of the world, winter shows up late, runs into the storm drains and then leaves in a timely fashion.
Here, we have to shovel our winter. Barbaric I tell you, simply barbaric.

does he not take his truck hunting? does he not drive it thru some brush just to get to the deer stands? :rolleyes:
Sure he does...but this is more than a brush scratch. He was thinking it was barbed wire...I said no, it was concrete :D

one time we were at some friends' house. They have a lot of property and they had a camphouse on the property and their main house. The husband had a bit too much to drink, and the wife didn't want him to drive home, but he explained that he wouldn't even be leaving his land. It was his truck, and his land. He immediately backed into a tree. He leaned out the window and said, "MY TREE!!" :))

our seasons are summer which lasts for 3/4 of the year...and rainy which lasts for the other 1/4.

I have more than I should myself, gonna fire up the grill and eliminate some of 'em tonight. Oh that reminds me I need to stop and pick up a lb of bacon on the way home...*note to self*
What should I have with the dove breasts wraped in bacon, Fried taters maybe?

Sacramento is pretty much like that too. Summer/spring shows up around mid March. It gets warm/hot around the end of April and then cools off to winter around the end of November where it rains and is usually only in the low 40's until the end of Feb.
Here, it gets warm on July 23 and cools off August 18th!
Well, thats a bit of an exaggeration, but we didn't have any real summer this year, not much rain either. But it usually doesn't get summer-like until July and by September, its beginning to cool off.
Sucks.

we usually start warming up late March/early April....but then there is always that one last cold front for Easter. Just in time to screw w/ all the women who bought nice spring dresses for church. :))
then summers are HOT, HOT, HOT...except this year when all it did was rain. :rolleyes:
September is usually stifling, but lately our weather has been gorgeous....low humidity....
October is when we get our first cool front, and we get the cool crisp mornings, but the hot afternoons. This is to ensure that all school kids will lose their jackets. Nov and Dec can be anywhere from freezing to the 90s....just depending. :))
Jan/Feb usually a bit cool...but still not telling. It starts raining on Oct 30 b/c that is my little birthday present from God, and it stops sometime around March.....
there ya go for anyone interested in Texas weather. :)) :)) :))

A husband and wife came for counseling after 15 years of marriage.
When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate, painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 15 years they had been married. She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire
laundry list of un-met needs she had endured over the course of their marriage.
Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and, after asking the wife to stand, he embraced and kissed her passionately.
The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze. The therapist turned to the husband and said, 'This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?'
The husband thought for a moment and replied,.. 'Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I fish.

Three aspiring psychiatrists, from three leading universities, were attending their first class on emotional extremes.
"Just to establish some parameters," said the professor to the student from UCLA, What is the opposite of joy?"
"Sadness," said the student.
"And the opposite of depression?" he asked the young lady from Clemson..
"Elation," she said.
"And you, sir," he said to the student from Texas A&M, "How about the opposite of woe?"
The Texas A&M student replied, "Sir, I believe that would be giddy up".

A very promiscuous NYC girl decides to take a trip to West Texas to see for herself if the adage of "everything is bigger in Texas" is true or not...she brags about this all the way to the airport to her roommate, another gal...
So, in just a matter of hours, the traveler calls her friend and say's "I'm home, scared to death - come get me!" The room mate obviously asked, and the traveler tells the story: "I got off the plane at Midland, and the first thing I saw was a cowboy with a condom in his back pocket so big it had to be carried in a can! Some brand name Copenhagen. I never heard of it, but decided right then I didn't want no part of that"
