[melinda]

what on EARTH would Tex have to gloat about?

the Spurs. :rolleyes:

[Wireline]

the Spurs. :rolleyes:

The team, the apparel, the growths on bones, or the equine control device?

:whistle:

I swear I don't understand the game of basketball....

[melinda]

[melinda]

gloat all you want tex...I still love ya. :hug:

[Wireline]

wire, are you fishing for a compliment from me? I'm not taking the bait...:razz:

nope...just the $25.00 you owe me, just for talking to you....you will not worm out of this, buddy....I've got pics of you with a hooker...and yes, I would sink that low, and I ain't line.

[texan_rep]

gloat all you want tex...I still love ya. :hug:

:hug::dance::hug::dance::hug:

[texan_rep]

Your accusations are completely bass-less. You are really fishing this time. Why are you playing so roughy today?

[Wireline]

because you and your carpies have gone too far...your baiting questions are a reel give away...

so don't get testy with me...its evenrude-er than usual...and yes, its too lake to say your sorry...

In case you had not figured it out yet, its all about the girl we both tried to date years ago - you remember, her name was Sushi.....

Mel - I'd advise you to boat out: this is between me and Tex, and there will be no winners, just varying degrees of losses....

[texan_rep]

Did you just call mel a carpie?

[Wireline]

nope...Mel is an angelfish....

Are we fin-nished yet?

[texan_rep]

we are dun

Serious question for the Texans here or anyone whos been on cruises out of Galveston:

Vacationing down that way in a few weeks. Whats the best means of transportation from GB International to Galveston without renting a car. I don't want to leave a rental sitting for 7 days unattended and it seems no one will let you rent at airport and turn in, in Galveston.

Also, when staying in Galveston, any "crack" or "hourly"" type hotels to stear clear of around the beach?

Thanks for any input.

hunter, I just read this....give me some time to think about this and work on it. I have a friend who has a home on Tiki Island, close to Galveston, so I'll ask her of any places you might want to steer clear of.
Transportation in Houston w/out a car is NOT good....but I'll see what I can think of.
Will you just be in Galveston overnight? or for the afternoon or what?
you know you'll be darn close to NASA and the Kemah Boardwalk. Just wondering if you're going to have any extra time while in town.....

[thehunter]

We will be at sea for 6 days, then in Galveston for 3, so yes, plenty of time for sights. Wife was looking at a hotel on a wharf which sounds fun we're just not sure if all spots are "good" so to speak.

I think I found a shuttle (almost affordable taxi for that distance) from GBI to Galv..Not sure though..am trying to see if any puddle jumpers drop into Galv.

Any info is very much appreciated :D

BTW....Wasn't sure where to put this question..hope it was ok in here

[melinda]

nope...Mel is an angelfish....



awe........:hug:

this was a great place for this question.....let me work on it.
are your plane tickets already purchased? are they part of the package deal w/ the cruise? The reason I'm asking is b/c GBI is way NW of Houston, and Hobby Airport is on the SE side of Houston. Hobby would put you much closer to Galveston, plus it's a smaller/easier airport.....

and that has just about exhausted my expert knowledge on Houston/Galveston...:))

just talked to my friend w/ the house on Tiki Island.....she says as long as you use common sense and stay pretty much where the action is, you should not have any trouble. The Sea Wall is fine. The Strand is fine. The only place you may find trouble is if you drive way down Broadway (which she says is a shame b/c there are some great restaurants down that way), but you'd have to be way down Broadway away from all the action before things get bad...........and chances are you are just not gonna be doing that anyway.

[melinda]

hunter....make sure to check these places out.

Tillman Fertitta pretty much owns Galveston, and does own the Kemah Boardwalk.

Thanks very much melinda!!..very nice of you to go through all this trouble for me

[melinda]

Great Info.... I think I already found a cheaper flight and to Hobby as well..very cool :D

excellent!! now will Hobby let you rent a car and trade it in in Galveston? or do you still have that problem?
even if you don't rent a car, you are now much, much closer to the Island. :)

[melinda]

Thanks very much melinda!!..very nice of you to go through all this trouble for me

first of all.... I LOVE your sig line. :))

second of all....this is NO trouble at all.
now, I'm assuming you'll want seafood. Do you want me to ask my friend if there are any restaurants that you MUST go to....or any restaurants that you MUST stay away from?

I love the Cadillac Bar (Mexican food), but I'm guessing you already get plenty of that.....;)

You do realize that Galveston is not the cleanest beach around though...right? but there is lots to do in and around the Island.........ask me any questions y'all come up with. I love helping.

I'm sorry it's been hard on her, but I know wonderful people like her are very, very much needed.

my husband is outside power washing all the sidewalks....I'm inside. I hear him outside our bathroom windows. the blinds are closed. I decide to quickly open the blinds and surprise him. Maybe even scare him...........................go me!!
I open the blinds w/ this dumb ass grin on my face ... and it's not my husband. It's Juan. Juan looks at me like I have completely lost it.
I closed the blinds.


:)) :)) :))

[Wireline]

I assume you did not give Juan an eyeful of that which us mortals have begged to see for generations...

translated: you didn't flash him, did ya?

I only ask because I did that once...heard our car pulling into the carport, and in an attempt at humor, exposed certain body parts just kind of peeking around the doorjamb.

At this time, I found out the wife had a female friend in the car with her....

Of course, in retrospect, I played this out ALL wrong...because nothing happened after the laughing stopped....

An old Texan went to the local church and asked to join.
The preacher said, 'OK, but you have to pass a small Bible test first.'
The first Question is 'Where was Jesus born?'
The man answered ,' Longview .'
The preacher said. 'Sorry...you can't join our church.'
Soooooo....he went to another church and asked to join.
The preacher said, 'We would love to have you, but you have to pass
a Bible test first. Where was Jesus born?'
The man said. ' Tyler .'
The preacher said, 'Sorry...you can't join our church.'
Soooo....he goes to another church and asks to join.
The preacher said, 'That's great; we welcome you with open arms.'
The man said, 'I don't have to pass no Bible test first?'
The preacher said, 'No.'
The man said, 'Can I ask you a question?'
The preacher said, 'Sure.'
The man said, 'Where was Jesus born?'
The preacher said, ' Palestine .'
The man mumbled to himself, 'I knew it was in East Texas somewhere.'

[Wireline]

I just posted that at a pro audio site that has more than its fair share of athiests and anti-Texas posters (funny...they are always the same people, too)...

Just to keep it real - we have our fair share of ugly ones, too....

On the way home for lunch, saw a woman at the stop light...she had some pretty bucked teeth...

so bad that when she sneezed (it is allergy season) she bit herself in the chest.

[Wireline]

I dunno Mel...I've seen some folks that could eat corn on the cob and never have to move their lips....

Then, of course, lets not forget there are entire families that share one or two teeth....or, teef, as they are usually referred to as....

this friend of mine was telling me about a family trip they took once when he was a boy. Well, actually his wife was telling the story, b/c it's not one of his favorites. Anyway, he's old, like me, so his family trip back in the day consisted of long hours in the family car. At one point his mom stuck her head out the front window....wanting to get a better look at whatever she was looking at, he stuck his head out the back window. Only to find that his mom was NOT sightseeing, but instead throwing up. Well, doesn't take a genius to figure out physics and his location to his mother to figure out what happened next. :)) :)) :))

indian paintbrushes look similar to bluebonnets except they are a reddish orange in color....every once in a while you'll find a beautiful yellow one, just like every once in a while you'll find a whitebonnet, instead of a blue one.

He had no idea he even went....:))
All he knows is that he went on a truck ride.....saw a few little playmates....got a doggie treat...went home.

the few little playmates is when he gets hard to handle.
(the shots came during the doggie treats, and he never even noticed)

we had a German Shepherd (well, a shepherd/collie mix, but body style was definitely shepherd) many years ago in California...big dog...dangerous to kids only when she got out of the yard without a leash...she flattened one kid who made the near-fatal mistake of calling her name...hit the kid full-speed and put him on the ground hard...before she started licking him to death. :doh:

I got racially profiled by a cop the other day. Yep, Texas the police state.

[Wireline]

I got racially profiled by a cop the other day. Yep, Texas the police state.


So? So is everone else on the planet....Law, policy, or no, until police are replaced with machinery that has no collections of historical facts we call memories, no individual reaction to group stimuli, etc, then profiling is a simple fact of life...I suggest understanding the racial (and other) profiling is an extension of associative heuristics, and I would suggest learning to accept it as a part of the human experience.

I get racially/socially profilied daily...so does Rick Perry....as does the cleaning lady at the restaurant next door....until we all become blind and deaf, certain salient cues will be noticed, and our reactions to those cues may or may not interfere with our actual conduct...

Life does not have an ignore button, Czzzaar...took me a LONG time to realize this....

[texan_rep]

morning all...

[Wireline]

sez you. (morning Tex)

[texan_rep]

"morning" is merely a statement of fact concerning those of us in the Central time zone and nearby. I made no descriptive statement concerning said morning.

[Wireline]

Sorry - I must have wrongfully profiled you

[texan_rep]

yes, you assumed...

[Wireline]

no...I didn't assume....you assume I assumed....

I speculated...big difference - as contact lenses don't work well for me and I am too cheap to have Lasik

[texan_rep]

Then you need a new prescription

[Wireline]

for many things....

There were these kids trying to work their way thru college by selling presriptions to a bunch of magazines....I ordered a sack ful and told them to bill you....

In in favor, say "AYE!"

[melinda]

[melinda]

oh, and I found out that Limas Sweed has gone to the Steelers, so I will be keeping an eye on that situation....gotta watch how those Longhorns do. :)

Are you redoing a few rooms?

[melinda]

uh huh....my entire house has been under construction. new roof, new windows, new floor in the kitchen, new tub in my bathroom, new countertops and sinks in every bathroom....new carpet and paint in the kids old rooms, built in bookshelves in what used to be my office and now will be a library.....it's gonna be nice when it's all said and done.
and all this while planning a wedding. :))

[Wireline]

Don't get the two projects confused...I'd hate to hear about some poor groom getting tarrred and shingled, while the house was fitted for a tux...

[melinda]

that'd be a BIG tux.....:))

[jet]

Mel, that is so awesome!!! I admire your sanity during the process.

maybe if we were pro athletes, you could touch my butt it your wanted...as long as it was a slightly painful pat on the ass, and not a gentle caress....

:think:

Nah...

[texan_rep]

:hand:

[melinda]

:)) :)) :))


why do male athletes do that?? :eek:

[Wireline]

I guess we won't be discussing the time we all played flag football....at the nudist colony.

Made for some very interesting tackles...the QB was none too happy about the arrangement, thus the shotgun formation was used most of the time.

[Wireline]

we...in the royal sense...

not oui i the French sense....

I don't think its wee in the Scottish sense....so....never mind

[texan_rep]

just so long as I'm not a part of that "we" you're talking about...:hand:

[Wireline]

trust me....you ain't...

Actually, we did have a rather attractive female as the center...but every time she bent over to snap the football, a fight broke out as to who would be quarterback...It was kind of embarassing, really, as the other team's defense won the fight...the referee's were going to throw penalty flags, but no one knew where they left them....

[melinda]

I heard of a new shade of brown today....."Hill Country in August". :))

that explains the reason why no one would volunteer to be the QB while I was the center.....

btw: one of my not too well known talents. I actually throw a heck of a mean spiral w/ the football.............

[Hadassah]

Whew! Looks as if y'all are ok.......any of the twisters hit near anyone?

[melinda]

none near me.....anyone else?

[Wireline]

Not yet...they will probably hit tomorrow while I'm on the way to Brownwood to play a gig...

I'm having a great weekend melinda, made it to the beach today, even went in for a swim the waves were teensie, no rip currents though, so I had a great time:hug:

[melinda]

ate at Chuy's on Saturday....mmm mmm mmm

[Wireline]

Texans...just some random thoughts about yesterday - ignore if you wish...

- yesterday's drive TO the gig was mostly on Texas 158, from Midland to Ballinger....most beautiful and peaceful stretch of road I've been on in a while...not much traffic, deer crossing the road (in broad daylight), literally hundreds of hawks...
- Real towns like Bangs, Ballinger, Santa Anna, others....US flags flying everywhere. People actually speaking to each other using terms like "sir" and "ma'am" ...
- The gig was a fund raiser for the Brown County Boys and Girls Club - held at a HUGE horse ranch outside of Early....people donating thousands of hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars...everyone seemed to have a good time, a whole bunch of drunks, no fights, hassles, no stupidity, just people having a good time for a good cause, giving away their hard earned money to those who could benefit more ...
- I got up yesterday morning at 0630...got home this morning at 0630...stopped once on the way home to reload the coffee barrel...the lady behind the counter says "no charge, just be careful."

THAT is what Texas is all about....
