God Blessed Texas

[Hadassah]

Good God, it is HOT outside!

[texan_rep]

not if you're driving naked...

[Hadassah]

not if you're driving naked...


No, it's still hot outside.

[texan_rep]

[Hadassah]

Thank God for tinted windows. ;)

[SUVDriver]

Hey mel...heard this on the radio, but I can't find a story on it...

Evidently a couple was driving home from Schlitterbahn (yesterday?) and were uncomfortable in their wet clothes. So they decided to ride home naked. :eek:

But that wasn't the problem.

They were also drinking (surprised?) and then got into an accident.

Oops...

That always happens when the passenger decides to play with the shifter while the car is moving.:think:

;)

Great pics mel. If the rain keeps up, I am sure it will be a fight between the deer and the ducks for the corn this winter.:lol:

[texan_rep]

mel, is your son a bowhunter too? (You might have mentioned that once, but I don't remember)

[melinda]

mel, is your son a bowhunter too? (You might have mentioned that once, but I don't remember)

nope, he's not.

[Wireline]

nope, he's not.

maybe not, but his Mom makes me 'quiver...':dance:

[texan_rep]

nope, he's not.

so who has the bow stand in your pics? at least, it looks like a bow stand...

morning mel :hug:

morning mel :hug:

morning, tex! :hug: :hug: :hug:
A guy at my husband's office........I'm not sure if it's a bow stand or not, you'd know better than me, but I do know a lot of people that do bow hunt. Just not my husband or son.

[texan_rep]

well, I'm basing my assessment on the (apparent) facts that...

1. it's not very tall
2. it's only 20-30 yards from the feeder

[melinda]

deer hunting this year should be fun w/ all the rain we've had. Tex, I forget too...do you hunt in South Texas or West Texas?

[texan_rep]

South...

[melinda]

OK...that's what I thought, but sometimes my over-40-year-old brain is wrong. :((

[texan_rep]

awwww...:hug:

[Wireline]

I may be the only male in West Texas that does not engage in hunting...I think its a total waste of time (like this isn't?) along with fishing...

Besides, how much sport is there when the hunted does not stand even a remote chance...if the prey has the ability to fight back on somewhat even terms, that's one thing - but to set in a hidden blind next to a deer feeding station, armed with a night vision scope on a rifle that can kill at 500 yards is not hunting....its slaughter.

Note I don't condemn the practice nor the people who do it...but lets be realistic and call it what it is.

[texan_rep]

No night vision scope...night hunting is illegal ;)

And while there are hunters out there who would take that 500 yard shot, I am only comfortable out to about 150...

[Wireline]

Actually, one of the reasons I don't 'hunt' is because I am such a good shot...I used to have to use special salt-coated bullets...because I could shoot a deer so far away that without the salt, by the time I could walk up to the target, the meat would have spoiled...

:eek:

[texan_rep]

ba-dum-bump...

Mel - do you know the difference between a moose and a Texas Blues band?

On a moose, the horns are in front and the ass is in the rear...

Drops him off at band practice.

hey hey hey...my daughters were/are in marching band! :evil:

:razz:

[Hadassah]

It's going to be 97 degrees here.......possibly even 99 degreees.......if it gets to 99, we'll break a record.



It is HAWT!

[texan_rep]

springtime in God's country...

[melinda]

99 degrees is not hot........that's normal.

That's Aayla.

[texan_rep]

[texan_rep]

nevermind...looked her up. Yes, she is the Twilek

[Hadassah]

nevermind...looked her up. Yes, she is the Twilek


Sorry...Aayla is her name. I misunderstood you.

[texan_rep]

she's a babe

[melinda]

apparently I do have power......yes, it is not only raining...it is POURING, and I am soaked, soaked, soaked. and freezing. :((

[Hadassah]

she's a babe


If you like green girls, sure.



My avies go with the image I want to project....I went from tough and beautiful women, to a very sexy avie, and I am back to tough.



I'm going to go with attitude as soon as I can get in contact with Jess.....

[Hadassah]

apparently I do have power......yes, it is not only raining...it is POURING, and I am soaked, soaked, soaked. and freezing. :((



But did the car get washed? :hug:

[melinda]

didn't wash the car, apparently just taking it out was enough...lol

[Hadassah]

didn't wash the car, apparently just taking it out was enough...lol


Now that's some kind of power! You go, girl! :dance:

[texan_rep]

well it got cloudy and a gust front came through...but nothing with it. At least not at my house.

[Wireline]

If it makes y'all feel any better...its been raining here AGAIN since 4:15AM...A heavy downpour at 5ish, lasting for about 35 minutes...flooded the streets again, so it seems.

<sigh>

But, since there is absolutely NOTHING I can do about it, the rain is perfect!

[texan_rep]

y'all don't have anywhere for the rain to go, do you?

[Wireline]

y'all don't have anywhere for the rain to go, do you?

Not really...ground is 100% saturated...kind of eerie.

People can now surf more than the internet in Midland...:rolleyes:

[texan_rep]

Not having lived out there, I've always imagined the ground to be pretty hard as well...absorbent in small/slow doses, but not for heavy rain...

[melinda]

how is anyone ever gonna be able to cut their hay???

[texan_rep]

Carefully...;)

[melinda]

the hay is taller than I am....

[texan_rep]

is that hard? ;)

[melinda]

but it won't stay dry long enough to dry out, cut, dry again, and bale....it just keeps raining and raining and raining.........

[texan_rep]

So go bail the hay instead...:mrgreen:

[melinda]

how ya doing today?



OK...I ran my six miles, and now I am going to hit the shower. Only stopped by here for a moment to cool down.

[Wireline]

Fine...you go cool down, while I try and work today with the mental image of you in the shower...

(Lord - I think I need a cigarette, and I don't even smoke)

[texan_rep]

working with that image myself...:mrgreen:

[melinda]

Tex, I'm glad that your morning is Ok....so...has your daughter been home all summer or has she been taking summer classes? is she getting ready for the fall semester?
My daughter has been taking this second summer session, and her final is Wednesday. Friday she is leaving w/ me to go visit my sister in Alabama and my best friend in Florida.

[texan_rep]

Ummm...yes, yes, and yes...:lol: She's definitely ready to move back into the dorm.

[melinda]

Ummm...yes, yes, and yes...:lol: She's definitely ready to move back into the dorm.

are you ready for her to move back out?

[texan_rep]

I know that feeling.....:hug:

[texan_rep]

:hug: yeah, I'm sort of over any empty nest/growing up syndrome...:lol:

[melinda]

but you won't have an empty nest for another year or so....


my husband and I keep laughing b/c our kids keep coming home. other parents complain b/c their kids never come visit........ours come home all the time. :)) we must be doing something very very right or very very wrong....

[texan_rep]

closer to 2 years probably...

There are still flooded areas here though...low lying areas on golf courses, some natural draws, etc...

[melinda]

thanks mel :redface:

I hope your day gets better, tex. :hug:

[melinda]

must think the rain is gone for awhile........my husband gave my son the day off from work, he cut hay all day.

[Wireline]

Well...this as they say is one fine kettle of fish.


We are supposed to bust 100 today, and the humidity is gonna be close to that...what, am I in Houston?

Getting hit by T.D. Erin?

[Wireline]

Getting hit by T.D. Erin?


Rats...

We are a 12 hour drive from the coast (at 80 MPH) and we got a 50% tonite and 90% chance all day tomorrow of thunderstorms, rain, and so on....

[melinda]

here comes the rain again...

I was thinking about you, tex, and wondering how bad your weather was. :hug: :hug: :hug:

[texan_rep]

Getting hit by T.D. Erin?

Not real hard...we are too far inland for anything but a big'un to hit us hard. But hurricanes and tropical storms can and do dump a lot of rain our direction.

And as I write this it looks like we are an hour or so away from some heavy stuff.

[texan_rep]

I was thinking about you, tex, and wondering how bad your weather was. :hug: :hug: :hug:

Not real bad right now...and we won't get anything but rain. Just a question of how much.

Y'all were getting quite a bit though...

[texan_rep]

Doubtful...

We are slated for 50% chain of t-showers tonight, 90% tomorrow...

:boohoo:

strange...I was just next door - seems the offices are having structural problems (pier and beam construction from the 1920s) due to all the rain, and I know we have had some as well...

Amazing what one rainy year can do...

[melinda]

Y'all were getting quite a bit though...

I know...my husband says it has been raining cats and dogs all day long. :rolleyes:

yes it is...we get it coming and going in certain areas around here...worst in dry weather (foundation problems from shifting ground)

Ah'm looken to keep the horns and the powder dry...trahnta save the pocket watch, as the boots are already gone.

Y'all down there in the coastal plains - keep a sharp eye out the next few days (not kidding for the moment)...Dean is looking to be a real *****.

[texan_rep]

Tell me about it...besides the rain from Erin, Dean takes up most of the remainder of the weather news around here...

Good Morning, Wire. :hug:

Good Morning, Hadassah. :hug:

Morning, luv. Have a safe flight home. :hug:

[Hadassah]

And Dean is moving fast, too. Probably a good thing, less time to pick up strength and less time to do damage to any island it hits.

[texan_rep]

Who cares about the islands? :razz: When that thing gets into the Gulf it's going to explode, and only God knows where it's going to end up...

[Wireline]

Ain't worried about any islands (except Padre)...if it gets up too much of a head of steam, Dean will still be hurricane strength if/when it hits the Texas Hill Country...

As they say on Seinfeld, "No good can come of this."

[Wireline]

islands? ISLANDS? Wee don neeeeed no steeeenkeeng islands!

[texan_rep]

Exactly...and if it's a big one size-wise, it could be pumping rain and wind up here while it's "technically" off-shore...

[Hadassah]

Who cares about the islands? :razz: When that thing gets into the Gulf it's going to explode, and only God knows where it's going to end up...


I know......I'm hoping the fact that it's fast moving means that it will garner less strength.


Damn, I wish I could be in a hurricane hunter jet right about now.

So much for my hope that it would garner less strength because it was a fast moving hurricane. That thing exploded from a Cat. 2 of 110mph winds to a Cat 4 with 150mph winds overnight. Y'all need to be praying now. Not just that it doesn't hit the US, but for all those in the path.....it could be a Cat. 5 very soon.

[melinda]

I saw that too.....
:pray: :pray: :pray:

[melinda]

when is Dean going to start pulling away our humidity??

[Hadassah]

Wow! Dean is projected to be a Category 5 soon. If it stays on its projected path, it will hit Mexico, but the winds extend out 300 miles and could reach southern Texas, If it veers, and hits Texas as a Category 5........stay safe guys. I'll pray that it either dissapates or diminishes greatly before hitting land again.

Not unheard of, Hadassah...I've seen it happen before.

I need to start looking at the models...see how they are converging. It's close enough to start paying a little attention.

[melinda]

OK...so on my run I had a bug fly up my nose, another bug flew down my throat, I almost got hit by 3 different trucks (that sure would have ruined their morning had they hit me ;) ), and my face and my arms and my chest got totally covered in spiderwebs...can't wait until tomorrow's run. :D

[texan_rep]

Sounds like something was bugging you this morning...wanna talk? :D

morning mel :hug:

I know....I have too. But that doesn't mean I wasn't hoping.


I have a co-worker in Jamaica right now......

[texan_rep]

I'm a bug magnet. :eek:

I'm going to assume I am not in that category...:eek:

[melinda]

[texan_rep]

*whew*

Not that I haven't been accused of that...

[melinda]

sure. sure. :rolleyes:

[texan_rep]

Not by you, dear...merely in the past...:hug:

[melinda]

lol......OK. :hug:

Dean is now a Category 5, with winds of 160mph. :pray: May God have mercy on those in the path of this monster. :pray:

[Hadassah]

CNN is reporting that Dean is the size of Texas. (Thought y'all would appreciate that)

[melinda]

morning, tex!!

[texan_rep]

morning mel :hug:

just not awake

cable has been out at home since yesterday afternoon...gave me an excuse to start my own mini Mel Brooks festival...

[Wireline]

...gave me an excuse to start my own mini Mel Brooks festival...

One never needs an excuse for a Mel Brooks festival...

Its GOOD to be da King...:eh:

[Wireline]

Tip of the Stetson, Melinda...

[texan_rep]

right now I only have Blazing Saddles and Spaceballs on DVD...but that's going to change...

[Wireline]

History of the World Part I and Silent Movie are mandatory....the PP (pun police) issued me a citation early last year for not having them....

Excuse me....while I whip this out...

[melinda]

morning mel :hug:

lol.......but no baseball.
I don't drink coffee.......well, unless it's overpriced at Starbucks and they have the gingerbread flavor for Christmas. how dumb is that???

[melinda]

Tip of the Stetson, Melinda...

Morning, Wire. :hug:

[Wireline]

No coffee? Heathen!

Try some green or white tea...more caffeine per cup than coffee, much higher anti-oxidant levels (if that matters), and really not a bad way to start a weekend...

Lord Above! I used to chew coffee beans, now I'm advocating teabags...":eek:"

[texan_rep]

Excuse me....while I whip this out...

Loved Silent Movie...saw it in the theater as a kid...when they unveiled the pic of Bernadette Peters ( :eek: she was a hottie back then! ) and the inevitable reaction occurred, my brother and I were rolling in the aisles, but my sister was (rather petulantly) complaining "what's so funny? I don't understand..."

Would you believe I've never seen HoW? :doh:

[texan_rep]

lol.......but no baseball.
I don't drink coffee.......well, unless it's overpriced at Starbucks and they have the gingerbread flavor for Christmas. how dumb is that???

:eek:

I run through a pot or so per day...

[Wireline]

Never seen HoW?!?

The critics panned it, therefore I loved it...some of Mel Brook's funniest, most offbeat, and grueling pun-ishment....if you like the song "The French Mistake" in Blazing Saddles, you will love HoW...

Bernadette Peters...now there;s a yankee woman I could tolerate...

[melinda]

I always loved Bernadette Peters......

[texan_rep]

To Be or Not To Be was good...but it's not a typical Mel Brooks movie. Oh sure, it still has much of what Mel does best...but it's much more conventional than his other movies, not the non-stop insanity. I'm sure the plot had something to do with that...

[texan_rep]

Wow...she still ain't bad for pushing 60...

[melinda]

Hey, I'm not pushing 60!!!!!!!!! :mad:

[texan_rep]

Are you playing stupid with me? :razz: :))

Bernadette Peters will be 60 next year.

[melinda]

Are you playing stupid with me? :razz: :))

Bernadette Peters will be 60 next year.

[texan_rep]

[melinda]

[Wireline]

Don't play stupid with me...
I'm better at it.

I don't play...I take my stupidity very seriously...

[DALLAS1234]

I don't play...I take my stupidity very seriously...

:lol:

[melinda]

Dallas, I mean this in the nicest way possible, but I actually thought my sig would be perfect for you....we all know you are NOT as stupid as you pretend....but we just hate for that little secret to get out. :shhh:

[melinda]

[texan_rep]

bless you dear :hug:

[melinda]

[melinda]

Oh, you never cease being...wait...that's not coming out right...nevermind...:silenced:

nope, I'm never gonna cease being....:))
kinda what life is all about. ;)

[Hadassah]

Wow! Thank God Dean didn't strike the U.S.


Hurricane Dean made its first landfall around 3:30 am (Central Time) Tuesday with 165 mile per hour winds near Costa Maya, Mexico. It is the first landfalling category 5 hurricane to make landfall in the Atlantic basin since Hurricane Andrew struck South Florida in 1992. Its pressure of 906 millibars is the third lowest pressure at landfall behind the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane in the Florida Keys and Hurricane Gilbert in 1988 in Cancun, Mexico. :eek:
