morning, Chuck!!! :)


Welcome, Sidestreamer!! :hug:
I just realized... I can't beat up on Texas anymore :doh: :((

[Wireline]

I just realized... I can't beat up on Texas anymore :doh: :((

Yes you can...but now you are within arm's reach...both human arms and fire arms.:eek:

University and Grandview...thats little place in a white building cattywhumpus from the intersection? I know that place.

[melinda]

Two stars that fast, I will refrain from anymore San Diego Chargers pics. I get the point.

nah, you can post the Chargers pics all you want....you'll just be in the minority. ;)

btw: I'll be following the Steelers to keep my eye on Limus and I love Vince Young....we watch out for our Texas boys all over the NFL....we just love the Cowboys the most!!

[melinda]

I just realized... I can't beat up on Texas anymore :doh: :((

you might find you actually like it.....;)
give it a chance.

[texan_rep]

alright dammit...I dug up an old yearbook (like I have any new ones?) and find these schools were 27AA:

- Cole
- Randolph (sucks)
- Somerset
- Southside
- Boerne (that must be you, Tex)
- Poteet

Ah, yes...High school...they called it "high" school for a reason in 1972-74, because most people were.

1972 was the first year Judson was NOT in the same district...

[texan_rep]

BTW, Tex...that glittering sparkly star is a bit...uh...ghey.

bite me...that was the first one I found that didn't have a transparent background...:razz:

[Wireline]

this was a 73 book...moment...looking at 72

Confirmed...

in a district game, Judson defeated Cole 29 - 21 (they must have cheated)

[Wireline]

bite me...that was the first one I found that didn't have a transparent background...:razz:

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I won't

You are still mad because Mel likes me better.:)):)):))

[melinda]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I won't

You are still mad because Mel likes me better.:)):)):))

both of my kids are on "facebook" and apparently you can send each other bumper stickers on there....so my son sends my daughter the bumper sticker that reads, "I'm mom's favorite!!" :))

[texan_rep]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I won't

You are still mad because Mel likes me better.:)):)):))

She just told you that because she's nice and didn't want to hurt your feelings...:snooty:

[texan_rep]

I see they haven't outgrown that...:))

[melinda]

I see they haven't outgrown that...:))

nope...and come Monday, I will no longer have any teenagers. :)


where did the time go..........????

[Wireline]

She just told you that because she's nice and didn't want to hurt your feelings...:snooty:

Uh no...she is nice to you because she knows you don't have any other friends - online or real life...

Face it, Tex...you are as popular as a leper in a twist contest at the nudist colony.

Now, if you will excuse me...I actually have a job that does not facilitate chatting with internet ass-ociates. But I will be back this evening...

[texan_rep]

nope...and come Monday, I will no longer have any teenagers. :)


where did the time go..........????


come Thursday, all my kids will be of voting age...:eek:

[texan_rep]

Uh no...she is nice to you because she knows you don't have any other friends - online or real life...

ew...I just threw up a little in my mouth...:sick:

[Lord of Mirrors]

I just realized... I can't beat up on Texas anymore :doh: :((This was a quite popular bumper sticker around these parts and throughout Texas in the 70s, 80s, 90s...

[texan_rep]

:)) I remember that one...

[free2B]

This was a quite popular bumper sticker around these parts and throughout Texas in the 70s, 80s, 90s...

[Lord of Mirrors]

I think you'll all 'preciate this. It's what happens when a Texan calls up the New York Times....

[texan_rep]

If there was any doubt that HS football is king in Texas...

This is a real HS football stadium. I've been there. :eek:

[melinda]

[melinda]

Thank you oh so very much, mel...that makes me feel sooooooo much better...

you are quite welcome, my friend...it's what I'm here for. :)






btw: my son is dating a girl who is going to Tech, apparently flying from here to Lubbock is going to be happening often. I'm glad he's old enough to be paying his own way.

[texan_rep]

I've figured that out...

Ahhhhhhh...young love. Related to stupidity in the same way squirrels are related to rats...both rodents, but one has a cute face and a bushy tail.

[Wireline]

A girl going to Tech? The insanity!

Tech is a superlative school really, once you get past their basketball coach

[Wireline]

yes...we got rain...

and rain

and rain

and rain

and rain...

streets flooded, parking lot at work literally under 3 inches of water...

finally stopped about an hour ago...80% of more til Monday.

That's all it does around here, is rain...damn.

[Hadassah]

Pitch black in the City of Contrasts.

Checking on apartments tomorrow (yes, it's true...). If I can find something affordable, I'll probably become Odessa's token liberal. Scary, eh?

Sidestreamer lives in Texas now?!?! OMG, that is the funniest thing I have heard all week!!!!! :)):)):))

[Wireline]

[Hadassah]

Yet another reason to go visit my friends in Texas..........I'd get to tease Sidestreamer unmercifully because he moved to Texas!!! BWA-HA-HA!!!!

[Lord of Mirrors]

Yet another reason to go visit my friends in Texas..........I'd get to tease Sidestreamer unmercifully because he moved to Texas!!! BWA-HA-HA!!!!I predict it will be a life-altering event for Doug.

[Sidestreamer]

I am actually not moving until September. Right now I'm back in Sebring, Fla.... can't move for another three weeks.

Just one thing though: You may put me in Texas, you may even get me to like Texas, but I will NEVER be a Texan.

[Wireline]

When you do finally get here, give me a call...I'll larn ya up the right way in a hurry.

:mrgreen:

Congrats on the job! Now, will I get a discount?

[apollo11]

A little early but good morning. And for all those who talk down our state, I'll pay for a one wat ticket to wherever.:razz::clap::razz:

[blazer]

I love Texas almost as much as I do Georgia.

[Lord of Mirrors]

I will NEVER be a Texan.That much is certain!

[Wireline]

Where one lives, even where one was born, has nothing to do with being a real Texan...

being Texan, aside from geography, is having a certain outlook on life, a certain code of ethics, a certain set of cojones (or ovaries), and a certain "this is the way it is, and if you don't like it you can kiss my ass" approach to most things...

Swagger...with the means to back it up.

[melinda]

That much is certain!

agreed.....!

Good morning everyone. It rained last night and threatens to now. When I got home, had some ants coming through under the storm door from the porch to get a dead bug. Neat straight line as they marched. I have a trick I use to deal with them. Regular spray from the bottle window cleaner is very effective at killing them and easy to clean. Actually pretty good to clean the floor with. Didn't take long to deal with them.:clap:

We're getting high temps in the 70s up here on the Llano Estacado, when normally in August it's 100s.

The Gullible Warming bots are strangely silent during these mild summers and total lack of big, mean ol' Hurricanes....

70 degrees? Better put on a jacket, may catch a cold.:rolleyes:

Same thing for south of you...

That said...I am betting odds on end that we see snow earlier than ever here...(3rd week of October is the earliest I've seen it in the Permian Basin)...

yesterday was pleasant and cooler....not even humid.
today, though, we're back to being hot and muggy.
We still haven't gotten any rain.
Sure would be nice if we could get some.....

[Lord of Mirrors]

Same thing for south of you...

That said...I am betting odds on end that we see snow earlier than ever here...(3rd week of October is the earliest I've seen it in the Permian Basin)...Last summer was even milder, (only ONE 100 degree day all year long) and snow actually came later than usual, as we enjoyed a splendid, extended fall.

Up here, it's normal to see at least 14 100 degree days, this year we have had only three, and had only the one mentioned last year.

Snow is dependent on moisture in the air more than it is on cold temperatures. If it's dry, not gonna snow.

[Lord of Mirrors]

yesterday was pleasant and cooler....not even humid.
today, though, we're back to being hot and muggy.
We still haven't gotten any rain.
Sure would be nice if we could get some.....We have the advantage of some elevation up here. (3,600 ft above sea level) Makes all the difference in the world for air quality and pleasant conditions 90% of the time.

It's not even muggy here when it's raining with the sun still out!

[melinda]

morning, tex....:hug: :hug: :hug:

[texan_rep]

[texan_rep]

:hug:

It looks like it's coming...

[melinda]

one can hope.....:)

[texan_rep]

I know...you just want it to hurry up and come...:whistle:

[melinda]

well, actually at this point, I'm about to take three dogs to the vet, so it would be nice if it would wait a while....but we need it so badly, I'll take it whenever I can get it!!!

[texan_rep]

better you than me...:))

[melinda]

all I do is go to the vet's....I'm thinking of changing my location to "probably at the vet's"....:))

[texan_rep]

just as long as he doesn't want to stick you with anything...:))

[melinda]

it's sprinking.................:)

[texan_rep]

:eek:

do I want to know what "sprinking" is? :whistle:

[melinda]

:)) :)) :))

mel really should learn to either type of proofread....and it's still sprinking. :))

[texan_rep]

:redface:

[melinda]

took the dogs to the vet's...on the wrong damn day...in the pouring rain. :))
my daughter made the appt. for two of her dogs.
my son's dog has been limping so I took him along.
my dogs refused to stay home, so they jumped in the truck as well.
five dogs.
sprinkling at my house, but pouring at the vet's which is 25 miles away...pouring.
get in there only to be told that the appt is NEXT Monday....:))

[texan_rep]

blonde moment? :))

[melinda]

my daughter was so mad....I figured getting mad wasn't gonna change anything.

Good morning everyone. Hutto got some rain pretty hard and is now a good soft rain. Last night, the sky around 8:00 PM was so dark and looming, I was expecting a cloud burst any moment. Didn't rain until around 2:00AM. At least the hippos are happy. I think I'll put up another chargers pic, I need some sunshine in my life.:rolleyes:

Kind of surreal.

Nope. It's past 9:00 AM Eastern Standard Time where I am.

[apollo11]

Good morning everybody. Rained some more during the day and night. Quit around 4:00 am. The sky looks like it is clearing up now. Also, with all of the building of new homes in the area, It seems that more pet dogs are getting away from their owners and getting lost. When I went to leave the house, it just quit raining and when I opened the door, someone's dog was asleep by my door. I must have startled him, got up fast and took off, peeked around the corner and then ran off. Oh well, not much I could do.

so that's where it all went.....would've been nice if you would've shared some. :))

[Lord of Mirrors]

so that's where it all went.....would've been nice if you would've shared some. :))When your average annual rainfall is only 13 inches total, and you get 14 over a two week period, you don't share dahlin.

Hi all, been along time since I checked this thread, But I do return with a joke...

A Department of Water Resources representative stops at a Texas ranch and talks with an old rancher.
He tells the rancher, I need to inspect your ranch for your water allocation.
The old rancher says, 'Okay, but don't go in that field over there.
The Water representative says, 'Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me. See this card? This card means I am allowed to go WHEREVER I WISH on any agricultural land. No questions asked or answered. Have I made myself clear? Do you understand?'
The old rancher nods politely and goes about his chores.
Later, the old rancher hears loud screams and spies the Water Rep running for his life and close behind is the rancher's bull. The bull is gaining with every step. The Rep is clearly terrified, So the old rancher immediately throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs.....


'Your card! Show him Your card!'

[texan_rep]

Don't get me wrong...I'm happy. But I still remember her as a little one too, y'know.

[Wireline]

Ah....a passage of time moment...

I have no reference points for watching a child evolve into an adult. Mel does...she has spoken of it often and perhaps can offer some insight.

All I know is when I (the youngest of three) turned 18 and moved out, my parents partied for 3 weeks straight.

[texan_rep]

Oh, I've been through this before...she's my 2nd one to hit 18.

And I'm actually looking forward to the day I get my life back. :))

why are you being so mean to me lately?

[Wireline]

lately?

[texan_rep]

who asked you? :razz:

[Wireline]

why are you being so mean to me lately?

You did....this is a generic question posed to a generic/geriatric crowd.

[Sidestreamer]

oh, we're ready...we're used to dealing with invaders...:whistle:
The Mexican kind I'm sure.... I'm a Brooklynite though. We do things a bit differently. I'm coming with some cement.

[melinda]

why are you being so mean to me lately?

that's mean? we had a great time when we took our daughter to Vegas....:)
she met lots of people who had the same birthday as her....:)

[texan_rep]

You're calling mel geriatric?

[texan_rep]

I haven't been to Vegas in almost 20 years...

[melinda]

I haven't been to Vegas in almost 20 years...

it's changed....yeah, I know there is a lot of "bad" there, but there is also a lot of "good". We tend to go out during the day and we're heading back into our hotel as the night crowd is exiting...:))

[Lord of Mirrors]

The Mexican kind I'm sure.... I'm a Brooklynite though. We do things a bit differently. I'm coming with some cement.Cement by itself will do nothing. You probably mean concrete, which cement is but one ingredient of.

You better be coming with a load of something, if in Texas you don't plan to keep your mouth in check!:razz:

[F9thRet]

Top o' the day, here's a few for the weekend...

The train was quite crowded, so a Redneck U. S. Marine walked the entire length looking for a seat, but the only seat left was taken by a well dressed, middle-aged, French woman's poodle.

The war-weary Marine asked, 'Ma'am, may I have that seat?' The French woman just sniffed and said to no one in particular,

'Americans are so rude. My little Fifi is using that seat.'

So again the Redneck U. S. Marine walked the entire length
for a seat, but again the only seat left was taken that well dressed, middle-aged, French woman's poodle.

The war-weary Marine asked again, 'Ma'am, may I have that seat?'

The French woman once again just sniffed and said to no one in particular,

'Americans are so rude. My little Fifi is using that seat.'

So once again the Marine walked the entire train again, but the only seat left was under that dog.

'Please, ma'am. May I sit down? I'm very tired.'

She snorted, 'Not only are you Americans rude, you are also arrogant!'

This time the Marine didn't say a word, he just picked up the little dog, tossed it out the train window, and sat down.

The woman shrieked, 'Someone must defend my honor! This American should be put in his place!'

An English gentleman sitting nearby spoke up,

'Sir, you Americans often seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You hold the fork in the wrong hand. You drive your autos on the wrong side of the road. And now, sir, you seem to have thrown the wrong bitch out the window.

----------------------

1.A nursery school pupil told his teacher he'd found a cat, but it was dead. 'How do you know that the cat was dead?' she asked her pupil. 'Because I ****ed in its ear and it didn't move,' answered the child innocently. 'You did WHAT?' the teacher exclaimed in surprise. 'You know,' explained the boy, 'I leaned over and went 'Pssst' and it didn't move'

2. A small boy is sent to bed by his father. Five minutes later.....'Da-ad....' 'What?''I'm thirsty. Can you bring a drink of water?''No, You had your chance. Lights out.'Five minutes later: 'Da-aaaad.....''WHAT?''I'm THIRSTY. Can I have a drink of water??'' I told you NO! If you ask again, I'll have to smack you!!'Five minutes later......'Daaaa-aaaad.....''WHAT!''When you come in to smack me, can you bring a drink of water?'

3. An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into mischief, finally asked him 'How do you expect to get into Heaven?' The boy thought it over and said, 'Well, I'll run in and out and in and out and keep slamming the door until St. Peter says, 'For Heaven's sake, Dylan, come in or stay out!''

4. One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was
tucking her son into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, 'Mummy, will you sleep with me tonight?' The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. 'I can't dear,' she said. 'I have to sleep in Daddy's room.'
A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice: 'The big sissy.'

5. It was that time, during the Sunday morning service, for the
children's sermon. All the children were invited to come forward.
One little girl was wearing a particularly pretty dress and, as she sat down, the minister leaned over and said, 'That is a very pretty dress. Is it your Easter Dress?' The little girl replied, directly into the minister's clip-on microphone, 'Yes, and my Mum says it's a bitch to iron.'

6. When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year old came into the room when I was just getting ready to get into the shower. She said, 'Mummy, you are getting fat!' I replied, 'Yes, honey, remember Mummy has a baby growing in her
tummy.' 'I know,' she replied, but what's growing in your bum?'

7. A little boy was doing his math homework. He said to himself, 'Two plus five, that son of a bitch is seven. Three plus six, that son of a bitch is nine....' His mother heard what he was saying and gasped, 'What are you doing?' The little boy answered, 'I'm doing my math homework, Mum.' 'And this is how your teacher taught you to do it?' the mother asked 'Yes,' he answered. Infuriated, the mother asked the teacher the next day, 'What are you teaching my son in math?' The teacher replied, 'Right now, we are learning addition.' The mother asked, 'And are you teaching them to say two plus two, that
son of a bitch is four?' After the teacher stopped laughing, she answered, 'What I taught them was, two plus two, THE SUM OF WHICH, is four.'

8. One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer. She read, '.... and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, 'The sky is falling, the sky is falling!' The teacher paused then asked the class, 'And what do you think that farmer said?' One little girl raised her hand and said, 'I think he said: 'Holy ****! A talking chicken!''The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.

9. A certain little girl, when asked her name, would reply, I'm Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter.'Her mother told her this was wrong, she must say, 'I'm Jane Sugarbrown.' The Vicar spoke to her in Sunday School, and said, 'Aren't you Mr Sugarbrown's daughter?'
She replied, 'I thought I was, but mother says I'm not.'

10. A little girl asked her mother, 'Can I go outside and play
with the boys?' Her mother replied, 'No, you can't play with the boys, they're too rough.' The little girl thought about it for a few moments and asked, If I can find a smooth one, can I play with him?'

11. A little girl goes to the barber shop with her father.
She stands next to the barber chair, while her dad gets his hair cut, eating a snack cake The barber says to her, 'Sweetheart, you're gonna get hair on your muffin.'She says, 'Yes, I know, and I'm gonna get boobs too.'

This sounds like a quite interesting situation.....

[FoxGranadaChuck]

I take it the dog has no name...


Well, America did have A Horse With No Name.....

[texan_rep]

yeah, but a deaf dog doesn't need a name...it won't come when you call anyway...

[FoxGranadaChuck]

:))

[Wireline]

I take it the dog has no name...

The boy has a name, and I use it...he may not hear it or respond to it, but he still deserves a name...

Cletus...

And yeah, he's deaf as a rock...and since he lost the center of his universe (the other dog) not too long ago, wandered aimlessly for weeks, incapable of understanding where his buddy went. Really sad - Cletus didn't cope at all...


He is just NOW getting to the point at which he's eating regularly again, putting on weight, getting his coat shine back, etc...I really thought we were gonna lose Cletus as well, as he had severe and frankly crippling anxiety when he could not find "his leader dog" anymore...Cletus has always been a "special needs" dog anyway...

Damn.

[texan_rep]

Did Cletus see the dead body?

[Hadassah]

another projected warm and muggy day out in the desert...

Damn...

And the Mrs is still in Dallas on a business trip - leaving me and the deaf autistic pitbull to fend for ourselves.

And why is said pitbull autistic???????

[Wireline]

He's autistic because he can (and does) stare at one spot for hours...give his a big ol chewbone, and he walks around for hours with it, not knowing what to do (very funny and sad at the same time)... we measure his anxiety by how fast he trots in a circle and how wide the circle is....the faster/tighter, the more freaked out the boy is...always ALWAYS clockwise - I tried to make him go counterclockwise one time, and he literally had a look of sheer terror...

Tex - he didn't see the other dog...all he saw was me putting Roofus (RIP) into the truck, then driving back without him...

[texan_rep]

that would possibly explain his confusion...now I don't know this for a fact, but my understanding is that letting an animal see the body of a "friend" that has died allows them to "know" they are not coming back...

just what I've heard...

[Wireline]

He never was any good at abstract reasoning, anyway...


Strange dog, really...the ONLY thing I know for a fact he ever has heard was the space shuttle that expoded over Texas years ago...Sunday morning, he was curled in in a ball snoozing while I was doing something in the backyard...then he jumped up, looked skyward to the west, and howled like Satan's daughter for 10 minutes...

Then I heard the news on the radio...

Very strange
