Mites grow on a hen's ass....lets get down to specifics, shall we? What specific punishment, administered by whom, for how long, and who is responsible for the motel 6 bill?

I believe those questions are answered...

Of course you are...why do you think I am still posting them? ;)

It's gorgeous...at least to me. The live oak may not be the most beautiful tree in the world, and limestone hills are not usually known for a variety of vegetation...but I love it anyway.

Unfortunately, the areas that look like this that are close to towns...especially the major (and minor) cities...are disappearing...:(

I bet they are a sight to behold on person. I love exploration and travel so keep em' coming. Pics of Texas and topless cowboys works for me. lol

Tumbleweed if you have any. Now with all the rain you have sometimes I would think the vegetation would be lush sometimes.

Typical yankee stereotyping...

You want tumbleweeds, you need to come out to west Texas...couple years back we had sagebrush piled up almost 3 feet against a cinderblock fence, and we live almost downtown Midland,,,,

Last year everything was green and growing...too much in some cases. Unfortunately, rain around here is all-or-nothing...so things are really dry right now.

[Wireline]

:)) I know. My husband was stationed at Fort Bliss darling. I know more about Texas than I let on. ;)

And I am not a Yankee,I am a true blue,well actually red, Red Sox fan!!!!

El Paso don't count...its more Mexico and New Mexico than Texas (and we all prefer it that way)...

[Voxpopuli]

Cool, I work off of I-10 in SA. I usually drive up 10 and cut through 46/Boerne to get home.

You are correct about it being dry. This weekend I passed by two brushfires on my way to HEB. We need some rain.

I spent a lot of time on I-10 yesterday, myself...only I was in the Katy/Houston area. I found the construction on I-10 is all around the Sam Houston Toll Road, and since I was attempting to go to the stores in that area, I sat in traffic a great deal............but I was having fun b/c I had my radio tuned to the country legends station!!! I really wish I could get that station from home......it's great.

I know...9 hours is from where I think you are situated,,,,remember, San Anotnio is nothing more than a traffic jam and a construction zone...you can make up time once you get past Comfort, but til them its kinda slow goings

ah....I didn't know you took my location into account, I thought you meant from Houston.
The only thing I use San Antonio for is I turn South there when I head for the deer lease. I'd use it to meet tex, but so far that hasn't happened.
We should have a Texas meet up!! :D

[melinda]

yes...it imparted just the right patina of eccentricity without completely throwing you over the cliff of bonzowackohood...;)

i'ts amazing how many people out here in the country simply won't drive in Houston....it scares them. My children do it all the time..........but almost nothing scares my children. They grew up with me. :))

[texan_rep]

well, when I was a young driver, driving in Houston meant bumper-to-bumper driving at one of 2 speeds...5 mph or 75 mph. I think it's down to just one now. :))

[Wireline]

We should have a Texas meet up!! :D


Agreed....anyplace but Houston.

[melinda]

some place w/ lots less people................I'd love it at a nice quiet deer lease or something, but that's just me.

Oh, and another thing...for all the bitching and moaning wire does about SA traffic, at least it's because of all the construction.

Ever tried to drive the highways in Dallas? I KNOW the engineer who laid out that failed abortion of a highway system was on a 3-day binge...

Gotta remember - I was born in SA....I have birthright bitching privileges.

As for Dallas/Ft Worth - you have never been more right in your life....

All I have to say is - try Austin...with the influx of ****ing yankees and wannabe wankers, no one can get around anywhere....silicon valley yuppie scumbubbles have take what was once the mecca of coolness and turned it into a giant smoldering and ever growing turd.

that's why my daughter had to leave UT....she LOVED UT, but she absolutely hated Austin. She transferred to A&M, where she got a nice education, but never ever got into the Aggie Spirit........just couldn't. But she liked College Station much better........although it's growing by leaps and bounds too. But at least w/ a different type of people.

Lets do a Texas meetup here: http://www.chinatihotsprings.com/

Its a natural hot spring real close to the border (equally inconvenient for everyone), expensive as hell, but worth every penny.

[texan_rep]

First time I've ever heard arsenic referred to as a "healing mineral"...

[Wireline]

hey...we are tough out here...if life in a metropolis has softened you up that much, maybe you should just take a trip to Starbucks and have a tripple no fat latte with cinnamon and cookie.

:mrgreen:

[texan_rep]

usually when I hear the word "tough" used to describe ones hardiness (such as when used by wire or your average high school football coach), it usually translates as "we're this way because as a group we are lucky to scratch up 3 brain cells between us..."

Exactly! And a trip to Chinati will eliminate those pesky two that keep getting in the way...

Arsenic in the water is very therapeutic, BTW...no one is asking you to DRINK the stuff...just set in the natural hot springs....

I undersand if this is a bit extreme though...perhaps we could have a meetup at Linens and Things in Austin, or a candle store in Highland Park...:doh:

[Wireline]

As opposed to "You're a #2" smiley? I know where some of those are, and have been asked not to post them here...:mrgreen:

You should feel lucky they merely asked you not to post them...they could have hog-tied you, driven you out of town, smeared you with honey and staked you to a fire-ant bed...

Weird is one thing....old school Austin weird was not only fun and harmless, but it actually had a fucntion (Austin City Limits WAS a country music show, Armadillo World Hqs was still open, etc....)... WIllie and Waylon, the entire Outlaw Country aspect, Asleep at the Wheel etc...I could go on

The current version of Austin is a disgraceful hellhole full of Ann Richards wannabes ... "homeless" beggars (who probably make more money than I do) on nearly every street corner...no thanks.

[Voxpopuli]

Austin has changed a lot since the silicon valley migration. I was at UT a few years before the whole keep Austin weird movement started. In fact, I worked at one small relatively unknown computer company called Dell. This was back when Dell was a small potatoes company. Who would have thought it would start the avalanche of the Californication of Austin.

[texan_rep]

californication...now there's a word with so much truth...

[Wireline]

THat's awful, Haddie...

Tread lightly here....there are short and long term issues for your young'un...you may wish to consult the legal system as well as the local mental health authorities.

For everyone's protection, I would recommend consulting with someone...if they don't give yo satisfactory answers, move up the ladder....protecting your child's and your health and welfare are the tantamount issues.

I would also refrain from posting publically about this issue...There are literally dozens of cases floating around at any given time which have evidence dragged from a public website quoting someone, of course totally out of context.

Again - thoughts and prayers headed your direction....kkep your head down and your child safe until this is resolved

[Hadassah]

I laid down the law to the 2 of them.

Truthfully, I have no one to blame but myself. That's what I get for trying to get along and for trusting 2 people who are obviously vipers.

Hey wire...another guitar question for you...

When I'm looking for a local luthier, is it reasonable to assume that, without any other information, a GAL member is preferable to a non-GAL member?

I got a local reference from the shop that handles most of the band instrument repair work at my kids' high school...

[Wireline]

Haddie...go for it - I know guys in video post...should be a classic...

Tex - not necessarily....According to their own website "Guild membership is open to all. "...all they have to do is pay their annuals membership dues....but there again, if they even KNOW about the Luthier's Guild, chances are they are dedicated to the craft - I might visit with them extensively before committing, but I would consider it....

How's that for vague?

absolutely beautiful day!!!
86 degrees, I ran 3 miles. forget the wifebeater, I ran in my sports bra........and now I have tan lines just from that short run.........sunny, sunny, sunny!!

Mean As Hell
by: Johnny Cash


The devil in hell was thrown in chains
A thousand years he there remained
He neither complain nor did he groan
But was determined to start a hell of his own

Where he could torment the souls of innocent men
Without being chained in a prison pen
So he asked the Lord if he had on hand
Anything left when he made this land

The Lord said, "Yes there's a plenty on hand
But I left it down by the Rio Grande.
The fact is ol' boy the stuff is so poor
I don't think you could use it as a hell anymore."

But the devil went down to look at the truck
And said if he took it as a gift he was stuck
For after lookin' it over carefully and well
He said, "This place is too dry for hell."

But in order to get it off his hands
The Lord promised the devil He'd water the land
So trade was closed and deed was given
And the Lord went back to his home in heaven

And the devil said, "Now I've got all that's needed
To make a good hell." And he succeeded
He began by putting thorns all over the trees
He mixed up the sand with millions of fleas

He scattered tarantulas along the road
Put thorns on cactuses and horns on toads
Lenghtened the horns of the Texas steer
Put an addition to the rabbit's ear

Put a little devil in the bronco steed
And poisoned the feet of the centipede
The rattlesnake bites you, the scorpion stings
The mosquito delights you with his buzzing wings

The sunburn's there and so are the ants
And if you sit down you'll need have soles on your pants
The wild boar rooms on a black chapparral
It's a hell of a place that he has for hell

The heat in the summer's a hundred and ten
Too hot for the devil ... too hot for men
The red pepper grows upon the banks of the brook
The Mexicans use it in all that they cook

Just dinin' with one of 'em and you're bound to shout,
"I've hell on the inside as well as the out!"
My hands are calloused July to July
I use a Big Dipper to navigate by

I fight off the wolves to drink from my well
so I have to be -- mean as hell
A sheep herder came and put up the fence
I saw him one day but I ain't seen him since

But if you're needin mutton
We got mutton to sell
We're cowpunchers
And we're mean as hell

Neither me nor my pony's got a pedigree
But he takes me where I'm wantin' to be
I'll ride him to death and when he's fell
I'll get me another one mean as hell

I shot me a calf and cut off her head
Cause the boys in the bunkhouse were wantin' to be fed
They rise and shine with the five thirty bell
And the best one of any of 'em is -- mean as hell...

There is a 90% chance my ponytail will be gone within 2 weeks

There is a 90% chance my ponytail will be gone within 2 weeks

mine's been gone for over a year now........:((

[melinda]

There is a 90% chance my ponytail will be gone within 2 weeks

why?

[melinda]

rain, rain, rain............

[Wireline]

why?

Couple of reasons...

1. Hair on top thinning faster than Kucinich supporters at a I20 truckstop...
2. I am over 50, after all...don't want to be one of "those" guys
3. Just because...:doh:
4. It will come back if need be.

It is well over the minimum for locks of love, so if the snip happens, it goes there...

I dunno...

3 Mar 2008....0920 hrs...it is snowing in Midland...

Not even...you are confusing us with Amarillo

It will probably go with a pair of shears.:)):))

[Wireline]

quite the cut up, aren't you Panhead? Do you always try to be the knife of the party?

That's a 15 yard penalty for clipping...

[texan_rep]

no need to be so cutting, wire...

oh wait...it's pinhead...nevermind...

:mrgreen:

[Wireline]

that was a pretty barbed remark...

[texan_rep]

my comments usually are when we fence...

[Wireline]

you have a link for that, or are you just free ranging again?

[Voxpopuli]

hey vox...just curious...if you live in the Comal district, why do you cut through Boerne to get home? Seems to me you'd want to cut up through Fair Oaks Ranch and hit 46 that way...
I'll use either way depending on traffic. If the traffic is backed up I will just keep going up I-10. I get real anxious if I have to sit still in traffic, which is why I loathe using 281.

waddamean "IF" traffic is backed up? I thought it was a state ordinance or something dictating I10 be bumper to bumper at least 23 hours a day:))

[Wireline]

morning y'all

[texan_rep]

morning wire...

PICC line, hadassah?

[Hadassah]

Peripherally inserted central line. It's basically an IV line inserted in the arm, but it ends at the superior vena cava. It's used when long term IV access is needed, like for antibiotics or chemotherapy.

[texan_rep]

damn, that's not a tube, that's a hose...:eek:

[Hadassah]

Better than being stuck with a needle repeatedly. *shudder*

[Wireline]

Who you calling hose?

[texan_rep]

Better than being stuck with a needle repeatedly. *shudder*

You have a point...:whistle:

[texan_rep]

Who you calling hose?

Definitely not you...:whistle:

[Wireline]

Definitely not you...:whistle:

I would hope not...that term is valid only when there is an exchange of money....I, on the other hand, do not charge,...ergo I am a slut.

Dammitt...this is just no way to start off the day

I keep begging for a "none of the above" option, and if a certain percentage of those are achieved, the entire thing should be redone...

But damn the hype, I still vote FOR people, not against them...If I can't cote for any of the choices, I just don't vote for that position at all...and even if I am the only person left voting FOR a candidate, so be it...

Lots of folks I spoke to last nite and this morning (local yokels) telling me they voted for Hillary, knowing damn good and well they will vote McCain in November...

I need Prosac right about now....the idea of people playing chess and 'gotcha' with their vote makes me want to puke - on them....people need to look at the faces of someone who cannot participate in the election system - if that does not move them into voting with integrity, nothing will....

Enough of this...

For 10 years, I've been operating in a discrete set of structures located on my home property...ran slap out of space, and construction of 2000 additional sq ft would be impossible, not to mention the additional tax burden.

So after a dozen visits/tours to other places, my wife found a place about a mile from here....perfect...I'll just have to remember to always put pants on BEFORE going to work....

[Wireline]

But I don't have a head ache.

I have one big enough for most of the regular Texas thread posters combined....and you're typing too loud, so knock it off...its really annoying.
