mel...was it last year or the year before when that storm came ashore around Corpus Christi, wandered out to Laredo, and then came back our way for a while?

oh wow....time is so fleeing these days. I'm not sure.
but last year we didn't get a proper summer b/c all we did get was rain. maybe that was part of it........



The last Hurricane that really "hit" us was Alicia.........and that was back in the early 80's.
so see, Jet, we really are safe.

[jet]

it won't be that bad......but thanks, jet.
we actually get excited when there's a storm b/c then we know we at least have a chance of maybe just maybe getting some rain. :))

:)) Gotcha!

[texan_rep]

mel, I think I'm thinking of Erin, last August...

[texan_rep]

Jet...this is why we tend to look forward to hurricanes...look at this pic of the 2005 season. This was the year of Katrina and all the doom-and-gloomers pontificating on "global warming causing more hurricanes".

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/tracks/2005atl.gif

Note how many tracks go through Texas. I rest my case.

[melinda]

yeah, we get excited when there's any kind of disturbance in the Gulf, b/c we're hoping that we can get some rain out of it......if only.

Thanks for the info!! I have a friend who lives in N. Carolina. He's been through a few. Loves to call us and tell us he just boarded up the windows in prep for a storm....
Crazy :))

[melinda]

maybe God doesn't like my prayer:
Dear God, pllllleeeeeaaasse don't make me go out there and water when you can do it so easily for me...........Amen.

Very, very true......

[texan_rep]

I'm supposed to have another 5-6 inches by the weekend...

[Wireline]

Thaaaat's right...keep the water down there, where you don't really need it...while the rest of us (in the part most people consider the REAL Texas) are drying up and blowing away.

Seriously - keep your head down.

[texan_rep]

Don't need it?!? Excuse me?!?! This area is in a more severe drought than yours, thankyouverymuch...http://drought.unl.edu/dm/DM_south.htm

And you guys are more NM than TX anyway...:razz: We were here first!

Morning Wire...

[Wireline]

Please....you are under a 'more severe' drought than we are because your are actually having to pour bottle water over your pansies, wash your poodles a rain barrel instead of importing Canadian rinse water, and God forbid, actually having to drink TAP water...

Here, we wash the hounds with dust...and have to inject whiskey straight into our veins to avoid spilling any liquids.

I have been told there are no more stand up urinals in your part of the state...that there are now an equal number of squatting stations for men and women - since all the men moved out here leaving behind a wash of metrosexuals and Harvey Feinstein wannabes...is that true?

NM? Those guys just WISH they were cool enough to be Texans...most of them have to be home before dark, anyway.

Morning Tex...

[texan_rep]

You're obviously getting your information from a displaced Californian whom we kicked out and is trying to hide the fact that we smoked out his non-Texas-ness.

[Wireline]

I honestly have no earthly idea to any events or persons to which you refer...

There was a Californian pretending to be a Texan here?!? Well , what do you expect? If I was Californian, I'd pretend to be someone else, too...

[FoxGranadaChuck]

Good Morning Melinda!!!

have you seen my dried up tank?

[melinda]

[texan_rep]

I peeked...y'all are supposed to get some out of this...

[melinda]

I peeked...y'all are supposed to get some out of this...

yeah, does God know that? :))


have you gotten any yet?

[texan_rep]

nope...:(

[melinda]

me neither.....:((

[texan_rep]

I'd give you some if I could...

[Wireline]

I'd give you some if I could...

are we still talking rain, or talking about what's missing from the pic? (actually, for ms. Mel, either is an acceptable option)

[texan_rep]

Rain...that's my story and I'm sticking to it...

[Wireline]

Rain...that's my story and I'm sticking to it...
Whatever works, amigo...

Face it though....wait - never mind.

[melinda]

still nothing. :((

[melinda]

I'd give you some if I could...

the offer is much appreciated.......:hug:

[melinda]

I've got the wind......I've got the dark skies.........

where is the rain??????





btw: my son dropped by and I mentioned, "no rain". he said, "aaarrrggghhh if one more person mentions the rain, I'm going to have to hit them. It's either going to rain, or it's not, but there is nothing you can do about it!!!!!"
so, I, of course, said the only thing appropriate for the moment. "rain."

he didn't hit me, but I do think he wanted to. :mrgreen:

[texan_rep]

troublemaker...

[texan_rep]

haven't you gotten any yet?

[melinda]

a drizzle....but that is all.

...and it looked so promising for a while.
the wind has stopped now.

[Hadassah]

Did y'all get anything from that hurricane? If you did, I hope it was only good things, like decent amounts of rain. :hug:

[texan_rep]

[texan_rep]

morning Fox

[Wireline]

Well...

we have a 30% chance of rain today (equates to zero) and a 60% chance tomorrow (usually also equates to zero)...

The only time we get rain so it seems is when the published probability is 40%, or anything above 80%...Other than that...dust.

[texan_rep]

I always thought rain was illegal out there...

I have a shortage of air, on the top of my head...been thinking about getting an aircut, but that could be confused as an airbreak...not airbrake - since there's no stopping that.

[texan_rep]

"aircut"? :eek:

Been eating beans lately?

[Wireline]

"aircut"? :eek:

hey...with the price of gas and all....a little extra push thanks to Mexican food ain't such a bad idea....

far as an actual aircut...still toying with the idea of 'parting' with the ponytail...on a bad day, I look like I'm wearing an old Davy Crockett coonskin cap, with mange on top of it

Morning awl...

Just read in the paper a contemporary I had played music with for a couple of years passed away this weekend...Amy was a pretty good drummer, and had a unique way of living life and expressing herself- traits I had always admired.

Funeral is tomorrow...

Texas lost a small but intregal part of our musical world when Amy passed along to the next stage of existence...she will be missed.

[melinda]

the first phrase made me think of a stalker...

ah.....nope. not at all. I don't think. Crap...now I'm thinking. :))
but I don't think so. you know how we touch people's lives w/out even knowing it, I had so touched hers. She wanted to meet me. A mutual friend told her where I lived. By the end of the meeting, she had also touched my life in a very wonderful way. She and I have much in common..........I think the mutual friend understood this.

[melinda]

my two dogs got into a fight w/ a racoon yesterday morning while we were out on our morning run. the two dogs found a coon in the middle of the road, I wasn't paying much attention b/c the day before there had been a dead armadillo on the road, and I thought that's what this was. Then I looked closer and realized this was alive. and this was a coon..........my dogs had it. I started screaming and running over to them, but then I decided maybe I shouldn't get too close. My dogs have had rabies shots; I have not. So what was a good distance to break up this fight, but still stay safe? My dogs finally let the coon go, and then the coon latched onto the throat of one of my dogs.....finally the coon let go and ran off. One dog tried to follow, but I kept screaming and hollering so much she finally came back.....
between this and the water moccasin that was slithering past my back door the other night, I'm not so much enjoying wild life these days. (my husband shot the snake. he told me to watch the snake while he went after his gun....I had a better idea, why didn't HE watch the snake while I went after the gun. ;) )

[Wireline]

Watch the snake? Is that some kind of code phrase?

What were you supposed to do if the snake did something? Film it? Stop it? Give it a timeout and prohibit it from posting for 48 hours?

Hey baby....wanna "watch" the snake? :mrgreen:

[texan_rep]

[Wireline]

Don't look at me with that tone of voice, Tex

OK, I really really want to beat the crap of my dog. I won't...but I want to.
She has blue heeler in her. When we get ready to go walking or running, she gets so excited, and she attempts to nip at my heels. Sometimes she succeeds. The other day she got me good.........:((
When I complained, my husband said, "She's just so excited, and it's in her."
I asked, "Do I LOOK like a cow?"
My husband looked like this: :neutral:

usually she just gives me a little nip.......this time she got me good.
If I could've caught her, I probably would've beat the ever livin' crap out of her. Good thing she's faster than I am. After the run, I'm all calmed down and I don't want to beat her anymore. :))

Called this morning...the trailer they were pulling had a blowout just outside on North Platte, Nebraska...everyone OK, but had to get a new tire, new wheel, etc...

Tex - she is attending and dancing at the Sundance Gathering at the Rosebud Lakota Reservation, South Dakota...

Once they get onto the reservation, there is pretty much no phone service (at least last year there wasn't...who knows now)...

She makes me very proud.

[melinda]

I'm glad no one was harmed in the blow out.....I didn't think she called last year, that's why I was wondering. not having phone service up there does make sense...........

you should be proud. :)

Last report I read was that the T.S. should ease the drought and the heat wave. But that was last night's report.

[melinda]

if only.............

[jet]

Color me confused....I thought all the hurricanes were going to be female names this year...or do they alternate male/female? Or is Eduardo transgender??? :think:

[melinda]

they alternate....and where's my rain?????????

[Wireline]

Or is Eduardo transgender??? :think:

More trans-sexual, really....still trying to decide...

[melinda]

More trans-sexual, really....still trying to decide...

wouldn't that be if the storm was heading to Miami?

[jet]

wouldn't that be if the storm was heading to Miami?

That would be transgeriatric......

[Wireline]

eewwwww.... old storms tend to sag....:eek:

[Wireline]

heh-heh...she said 'heading'

[melinda]

how immature is it that I laughed when Jim posted some sports figure named "Dick"? :))

Very immature...and it is making me sweat....

I act like an adolescent more times that not...adulthood sucks (I tried it,,,hated it)...

So, you wanna sneak out behind the barn and smoke....or something?

[Hadassah]

you guys are hilarious! :)) :)) :))

This morning was the last day of an experiment with a certain kind of studio interns: the 14 year old daughter of one of my clients...

It has been...challenging...attempting to understand what the HELL she was talking about most of the time...Absolutely zero frame of reference.

Even when I act like an adolescent, its an adolescent from a completely different era...:frown: I really have become an old fart.

there's a difference between immature and stupid. ;)
at least when we were adolescents, we were smart.

*** are you talking about? Smart?!? Hell no...I was perhaps one of the stupidest teenagers on the planet, and feel pretty lucky now to have lived thru it all...

Nekkid pumpjack riding...for starters. Thank GOD there was nothing like pic phones or YouTube then...:eek:

OH, OK...I was smart.
always living on the edge..........but smart.

[Wireline]

I know your type...and one of the reasons I did the really DUMB stuff (most of it, anyway) was to try and impress you really cool kids...the ones who did the 'out there' stuff but were smart enough not to risk life and limb.


But, then...I discovered drugs and rock and roll...the sex quickly followed...

So, I'll ask again - you wanna sneak around behind the barn and smoke...or something? :hug:

[melinda]

whacha smoking? :shifty:
I didn't do drugs.......and I waited on the sex. I was a good girl. :angel:

[Wireline]

whacha smoking? :shifty:
I didn't do drugs.......and I waited on the sex. I was a good girl. :angel:

I did them all...:frown: and didn't wait very long for the other....

That said, if I had children, I would either instill a sense of self respect and patience to reduce the urge for premarital sex and drug use...

Or, lock the lil bastards up in their room until they were 25:eek:

OK, now we've gone and gotten serious, but I think that is exactly what it's all about...

[Wireline]

I really can't say, Ms Mel...like my intern, I have no point of reference, just a set of life experiences that for whatever reasons will not be passed along to crotchfruit.

Seems I had the knowledge and skills, but was incapable/unwilling to recognize them until much later in life, but as you know: its my belief that EVERYTHING that has and has not happened occurred exactly as planned, and for a reason.



I wanted to streak the mall here...I tried it last year, but no one except a couple of flame baiters paid any attention at all....:cry:

[melinda]

I went with my mom to the mall one time when I was a teenager. (well, actually I went more than once w/ my mom to the mall when I was a teenager, but this is just about a certain "one time" outing)
And I decided to walk on my hands the entire time. Everywhere. My mom said she was quite embarrassed, but I think she should've been impressed. :))

[chichimama]

God's blessing Texas with some rain. :)

[melinda]

not here.....:(

and we were so hoping for some.

[texan_rep]

morning all...

sorry for missing yesterday...but I had a stick up my butt...

[Sidestreamer]

Hopefully those tropical storms will put out those eternal brimstone flames I'm always smelling from over there.

In all seriousness though, I assume everyone's alright from Edouard?

[Wireline]

Literally or figuratively...and how was this different than any other day? :whistle:

[melinda]

where I live (between Houston and Austin) we didn't even get any rain out of Edouard......and we desperately need some.
thank you for your concern, Sidestreamer. :)

[Wireline]

morning Wire...

literally...

Ouch...

was this a voluntary thing?

[texan_rep]

Depends on your definition of "voluntary". A lawyer would tell you it was voluntary...see, it says right there on the consent form. My doc would say it was a very good idea.

[Wireline]

say no more...

please.

I thnk I know where this is going.

[texan_rep]

I will say they didn't find my head, so you can just stop that thought right there.

[apollo11]

Don't mess with TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[melinda]

Don't mess with TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

welcome, apollo. :)

I'm fine...

I'm glad that you are fine. You don't sound convincing, but I'm glad.





I added some albums to my profile. :)

Naw, I'm fine :). The prep was worse than the procedure.

I'll have to take a look...

[melinda]

so I've heard....



I'll have to take a look...

that's what your doctor did. ;)




:))

[texan_rep]

that's what your doctor did. ;)




:))

And I didn't even get a kiss...

[melinda]

And I didn't even get a kiss...

if it makes you feel any better, I'm going to the Dr. tomorrow, and I'm probably not gonna get one either. I will, however, get a nice tight hug while wearing nothing but that stupid paper towel they give you to wrap yourself up in. :))

[texan_rep]

Is this a cold, flat metal hug where the huggee gets hugged to about 1/4 inch in thickness?

[melinda]

Is this a cold, flat metal hug where the huggee gets hugged to about 1/4 inch in thickness?

oh no, I don't do those....:))

this is my "doctor is very friendly and I just love him to death and he will come in and give me a huge bear hug while I have on no clothes" hug. :eek:

[texan_rep]

You don't do those? Bad girl...:naughty:

Ummmmm..."very friendly"?!? :eek::eek:

[Wireline]

Yet, in another setting, time, and place, you might be paying someone wearing fishnet stockings, spike stilettho heels, a mask, hold a whip in one hand and said device in the other todo the exact same thing,,,

[texan_rep]

:eek:

:naughty:

[Wireline]

Tex, I think the finger wagging will cost extra...

I like it. :mrgreen:

[texan_rep]

:doh:

[melinda]

You don't do those? Bad girl...:naughty:


now you're sounding like my Dr. :))
I've had two. One when I turned 40. One when I turned 44. We'll see when I decide to do another one.


Ummmmm..."very friendly"?!? :eek::eek:
yeah, but I absolutely love him......he's been with me thru everything.

[texan_rep]

yeah, but I absolutely love him......he's been with me thru everything.

it certainly sounds like it...;)

:))

[melinda]

yeah, well..............:)

[texan_rep]

hey, you got your tweak in, you know I had to get mine in...:mrgreen:

[Sidestreamer]

Okay... being Hannity.com's official Texas Hater (c), in the name of fairness, I must disclose that next week I am flying to Odessa for the weekend. I'm looking for a good asbestos suit so I can tolerate the heat, along with extra sanitizers, towels and gloves so I can wipe the Texas off of my shoes. I just hope the hotel's clean... hard to lay a Texas in dirty toilets.

[Wireline]

Odessa...heh.

Odessa at one time was the murder capital of the United States, per capita...with the cool spell, you won;t need asbestos - may an umbrella...

Make sure you wear an "Oil Business People Should Be Tried for Treason" shirt - most of these old boys, tool pushers, etc have a really laid back sense of humor...you can rent a horse and six shooter at the airport, as well as a 50 lb bag of Redman....

:mrgreen:

Good luck with the interview...

I hope Texas, and its people are nicer to you than you are to us. ;)


I do hope you have a pleasant trip, but Odessa? really? :)

[Wireline]

Don't worry...I've already alerted my friends in Odessa (the ones on parole or probation anyway) that Doug is coming to town...they'll take care of him...

Doug - one final word - if someone offers to show you the Wink sludge pit, run like hell...I mean RUN...seriously.

Damn. I am officially a bore ass.

bp is 110/72 ...
and the nurse said I lost ten pounds since last year.
I didn't realize that.

[texan_rep]

can you afford that?

[Wireline]

can you afford that?

Its not that much money, even with the Dollar/Sterling rate being what it is...
