yeah, but believe it or not...us Texans don't really walk around w/ a gun 24/7. :))

[Wireline]

hi y'all

wazzup Tex...long time no see...have you found a decent job yet (screw pay - will they let you online during work hours?)

[texan_rep]

I have 2 kids to get through college..."screw pay" is not in my vocabulary...

tell em to do it the way I did it...join the military, GI Bill...investigate the Hazlewood Act in Texas, in which honorably discharged vets can attend ANY Texas state university up to and thru the PhD level, all tuition paid....

[Hadassah]

here's mine....I might not be running today.

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SWEEP THROUGH THE REGION THIS MORNING. AS
SKIES CLEAR...STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP MIDDAY TODAY.
SUSTAINED NORTHWEST WINDS OF 25 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 40 MPH ARE
EXPECTED...MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THESE STRONG WINDS
SHOULD RELAX AROUND 6 PM.

But you don't have snow to shovel. :D

neither of them had any interest in the military...and Hazelwood only applies to the military, not dependents (unless the beneficiary was killed while in the military)

Believe me...I am QUITE familiar with Hazelwood...:whistle:

Who's complaining about shoveling? There was a smile after my statement, not a frown.


My beef with snow is when it's blowing so hard I can't see to drive. Or when it makes the roads slippery. Other than that, I'm cool.


No pun intended.

Because of the fact that I am unemployed right now and that I am going through certain struggles right now.

Yes, I do. But knowing that does not take away the pain that I am feeling right now!!!

Maybe you could sign up with a temp agency for a while. Get you out of the house and around people.

[Wireline]

What do you want to do? Believe me, in Midland/Odessa, unemployment is almost zero, and most places are BEGGING for people...

Just as one of a million examples, the newly opened Cracker Barrel restaurant here is paying wait staf $14.50 an hour plus tips...starting....because they could not get enough people to work...

Damn....come to think of it, I am the poorest person I know out here....now I am depressed!

anyone have any big plans for 2008, or are you just waiting to see what the year offers you?

I have two big things on the calendar so far...
1. a trip: a 10 day pilgrimage to Israel and Jordan (March)
2. my daughter's wedding (May)

[Wireline]

4 big plans....

1) Appreciate what I have more, complain about what I don't have less (ongoing)

2) Lose the added pounds from BEING SMOKE FREE FOR A YEAR! Celebration! No one thought I could do it! (Goal - back in my 34 jeans by April...36 now)

3) Going to Sundance with the wife...she is dancing again, I am going just as her supporter. (Aug)

4) Cleaning up my mental trash cans, taking the last of the garbage out for good (on going)

that all sounds wonderful, wire.
and let me hear all about Sundance. (or what I am allowed to hear. ;) )
IF you get #4 worked out, would you let me know how you accomplished it?

God blessed Texas
with his own Hands
brought them angels from the promised land
Gave 'em a place where they could dance
If you wanna see Heaven, brother, here's your chance

This is for my best girlfriend, Dallas!!!
Texas girls ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two guys are talking in a California bar. The subject of Texas comes up.

First Guy: "Know how you get to Texas from California?"

Second Guy: "No."

First Guy: "Simple. You go east until you smell it and then south until you step in it."

(Remember, I don't judge - I just report. That's what the two guys said. Honest. Now, having said that, know that the Texas Longhorns are my absolute favorite college football team. I went nuts when they came out here and kicked USC's fanny in the Rose Bowl two years ago. Hook 'em Horns!)

Now tell you bar buddies this one:

Q: You know how to tell the difference between a Texas Valley orange and a California orange?

A: When you suck on a California orange, it sucks back.

Let us know how that goes.

I grew up in Houston, but I couldn't wait to get out of the city. I now live out in the country between Houston and Austin......

KS is not much different from Texas as far as the friendliness of the people. Just not as solid in their convictions as most of the Texans that I associate with.

Bad enough that my wife and I took off work briefly to be with her at the agreed-upon pick-up time this morning so we could meet and greet and (if necessary) run some interference...

[texan_rep]

My daughter and I used to belong to the gym. My son too, but he still does.
When my daughter started driving, I quit going......b/c the gym is about 15 miles away and next to absolutely NOTHING. (I used to go to the gym right after I took the kids to school. Once my daughter began driving, I was no longer taking them to school....that's why I quit the gym) Anyway................
my daughter is now back from college and she wants us to both rejoin the gym and encourage each other. So we are starting today. I will still be running.......won't stop that. ;)

[texan_rep]

well good for you...

I need to start up again...but it's so damn hard...*sigh*

[melinda]

I'd lift weights, but those things are heavy. :))






I don't want to build up at all.......I just want to tone up.
So I won't be lifting anything heavy. ;)

Two words. Elliptical exerciser.

I know you're a runner, but at our age. (ow) our knees won't let us do certain things.

I've already worn out one elliptical exerciser, and my 2nd is starting to show some wear. I love it.

[melinda]

I told you I liked your beer jokes. ;)

[PeterGriffin]

me too....8 oz ones. or sometimes 12 oz.

What the heck comes in 8 oz.?

God must still love Texas, I haven't fled the state yet.

[Wireline]

8 oz is the size of a standard shot glass around here....

[melinda]

I drink my Crown about 8 oz at a time..............;)

I'll be in Waller tomorrow. maybe.

[melinda]

8 oz is the size of a standard shot glass around here....

you were thinking like me. :cool:

[Wireline]

there again...until I quit drinking, after 8 oz of REALLY good stuff, I am usually wearing a crown....and not much else....that was up til the time someone told me you were supposed to MIX the stuff with something else....

[melinda]

[texan_rep]

I mean...hey, I love Crown...but in COKE! :eek:

[melinda]

Crown XR.......straight. yum.

[Wireline]

I mean...hey, I love Crown...but in COKE!


Really....makes it very difficult to get up that little straw and into the nostrils.

[melinda]

I mean...hey, I love Crown...but in COKE! :eek:

I used to hate whiskey and coke....I always assumed I hated the whiskey. One day I discovered I hate the coke. I love the whiskey. :cool:

Heard that joke before...but it was whiskey, tequila, etc. and water...:))

<snort>

[texan_rep]

:eek:

[Wireline]

as in...with laughter....

jeesh....I haven't done the other since ...well....Reagan was President.

[texan_rep]

mmmm-hmmmm....

[Wireline]

seriously...Gave up all that stuff...including alcohol...and over 1 year without a cigarette....

I've become a real bore-ass....but at least I try to be a healthy one....as soon as I drop the added poundage from all of life's tribulations and get back down to where I want to be, I'll get run over by a Coors truck.

[texan_rep]

You bore ass? :eek:

Don't EVEN want to know what that entails...:hand:

[melinda]

he's missed you, tex. :)

[texan_rep]

:))

[Wireline]

that's bore ass...as in non entertaining; routine; lacking rebellion...

The auger reference or any misspelled implications to male javalinas is not intended.

[texan_rep]

oh, of course not...

[Wireline]

well I'm glad THAT is finally settled...

[melinda]

I don't think it's settled at awl. :mrgreen:

[texan_rep]

I agree. I just didn't want to bore anyone without their permission.

[Wireline]

I don't think it's settled at awl. :mrgreen:

An interesting point....or was I too hammered to miss the punch line?

[melinda]

maybe you're just too screwed up. :))

[Wireline]

True dat...I used to mix Milk opf Magnesia with vodka and orange juicejust to get a Phillips screwdriver.

Now...just a plain old flathead....but I torque too much about it...

so you nailed it?

[Wireline]

so you nailed it?

I think so...I try not to get too cross on threads like this though...I used to get into trouble a lot, but I've peen good lately...clawing my way out, taking a belt once in a while.

[texan_rep]

sounds to me like you're just a tool...

[Wireline]

sounds to me like you're just a tool...

So I am told...I am the right caliper of man for the job, though, and as mentioned before, have very few vices...

[texan_rep]

Personally I find my vices quite handy when I need to get a grip.

[Wireline]

gloves...

When I get a grip, I like to do it with feeling...

not saying a word..................:flag:

[Wireline]

Latex gloves...note that was not an invite, as in you wanna lay, tex?

[texan_rep]

Latex still interferes with feeling...

[Wireline]

Condoms...yes...gloves - well, that's stretching it a bit I think.

[texan_rep]

I cut up a lot of deer wearing latex gloves...:razz:

[Wireline]

Whatever you want to call it is fine by me, Tex...no judgementalism here.

[melinda]

Whatever you want to call it is fine by me, Tex...no judgementalism here.

not THAT made me laugh out loud. :))

[texan_rep]

ok wire...that was a real reach...:razz:

[Wireline]

yea it was...whatever method you prefer is fine - the point is to make sure your hand doesn't slip and you end up with a self induced concussion....

[texan_rep]

believe me...when I am cutting up a deer...a concussion is the last thing I am worried about...I'm more worried about seeing more than one type of blood...:eek:

[Wireline]

This I understand....hence the latex/surgeon's glove concept....Strangely there has been a "seen on TV" glove with extreme knobs on the palm (:EEK:) marketed for peeling taters...they seem stout enough for a lot of other things as well....no experience with em though

[melinda]

Good Morning, Wire...........:hug:



Morning, tex.....:hug:




I'm off to Magnolia today................y'all have a good one and try to behave. ;)

[Wireline]

Don't show us similar...show us what YOURS looks like...set tight - I'll be right over with a Brownie Instamatic camera...

[melinda]

I'm not that old, but wasn't "magnolia" the last word in some artsy movie?

And I am a proud Texan...and I've heard of the town...but every time I hear/see the name "Waller" I keep wanting to mentally put the word "Hog" in front of it...:))

[Wireline]

That's Hawg....
