    God Bless Texas

    A couple of nights ago there was a newsman (FOX, NSNBC, CNN?), talking to a Texas judge (AG?), about the possibility of looting in Texas like they had in Nawlins. The judge said that he didn't think it would be a problem, since Texas law said you could shoot, AND KILL (emphasis on "AND KILL" was the judges), anyone looting your home or business. The judge further stated that Texas gunowners had the right AND OBLIGATION to shoot AND KILL anyone who tried to loot their neighborhoods when the police were not able to respond for some reason. The newsman was having a cow. The judge kept saying "shoot, AND KILL". The newsman finally said that sounded rather "draconian", and asked the judge if there had been any "recent rulings" that midigated these laws. The judge said simply, "NO". By now the newsguy didn't know what to say. He turned to the camera and said, "New Orleans evacuees, be forwarned". I was rolling in the floor by that time! GOD BLESS TEXAS!

    Knocking on My Door

    When I lived in California many years ago, I got to know quite a few Mormon families and noticed quite a few things. Here are some general observations re: Mormons I've known (just MY observations)... They almost always live in well to do neighborhoods They always have pianos in their homes...and some family member invariably teaches piano lessons. They seem to exhibit a mastery of living the "more than abundant life" that TWI could only dream of. They have lots and lots of kids. They have pretty and colorful homes with decorations and pretty pictures on the walls as opposed to the TWI standard stark white walls that were bare except for the obligitory 5x7 portraits of the BOT and reigning MOG du jour. They, for the most part, have cheerful dispositions and a general zest for life. They don't seem to have the disgusting TWI habit of kissing strangers on the mouth at every opportunity. They usually share my political views regarding liberty, self governance and independence and have strong sense of self reliance. Mo and others might disagree with me, but this was just my personal take on it.

    Freemasonry is weird?
  7. Is there anything stronger than a CAT5? An LCM on steroids, maybe? Ted Kennedy after too much garlic bread? Just wondering.

    Lesbianism

    In spite of the fact that this subject has been beaten to death time and time again, this sure is a popular thread considering it has no pictures. Can we get pictures?
  9. Hi Cowgirl... I sorta derailed the athletics thread, but if you ever heard a good fiddler play the Virginia Reel at a contradance, you'd know that wasn't such a stretch. I did a google, and to my surprise, guess who showed up? http://www.acousticspectrum.com/bradpage.htm Sssshhhhh...Don't tell 'em what I said about Brandon.
  10. Uh...dmiller....do you know the Apple family?...does the name Brandon Apple ring a bell? He's kinda legendary around these parts. He's been competing and winning since he was a little kid and now if he should place second, windows shatter, resin flies, bows break, chairs get thrown...he acts very bad when he gets barred, too. This was when I knew him back in the mid to late 90's. I've heard he might have grown up since then. His big brother Brad is one of the nicest and most personable guys you'll ever meet...and the best mandolin player to ever pluck 4 strings. Speakin' of fiddle contesters, have you ever heard of Tim Crouch? Just wondering.

    Water!!

    I don't think so, Garth....I think it's a TRANSFIGURATION (metamorphoo).

    Water!!

    Yeah George...you're so smart and maybe all that stuff is true, but pictures don't lie so how do you explain the picture? Hmmmmmmmmmm?

    Water!!

    Preliminary research indicate s that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen orDrinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?(No kidding, all of the above is true...) Of course, too much water may have strange side effects...
  14. I entered a tractor pull once and finished fifth out of 8. I might enter another one when I get new rings for my tractor, cuz it smokes so bad it makes the spectators cough. I played right guard in Jr. High football and got creamed so bad in my first game (yes, I know what it is to be a greasespot) I IMMEDIATELY signed up for band and played in the band through college. I "lettered" every year, but basicly, all you had to do to get your letter was show up for everything and win something worthy of a medal in "solo and ensemble" contests. Does that count?
  15. Here I thought this was gonna be a thread about Col. Sanders and I know ALL about fried chicken. Yeah, a Dremel tool is the way to go...I couldn't live without mine. Sears makes one, too and I see Chinese knockoffs on eBay for $10. They even come with tiny little grinding stones and disks and cutting disks. They even make a little table so you can use it like a router or a drum sander. If you have kids, be careful, cuz they LOVE to use it, then leave it out with it's box open, then the dog comes along and knocks it over scattering your dremel tool and all it's little accessories and bits everywhere. Some of the little accessories will fall through the cracks between the floorboards of your workshop and then, since you know snakes go under there from time to time, you don't wanna send the kid down to get it, you just give the kid a stern lecture and go get them yourself. Since there's only about two feet of crawlspace under there, you have to crawl on your belly and you get all dirty and you get cobwebs in your hair. It's not pretty, so be careful.

    Comfort food

    Fried catfish? Scalloped potatoes? Squash casserole? FRIED OKRA?? What time is dinner? Andrew and I will be right over with the pickled tomatoes, coleslaw and hushpuppies. YUM!!
  19. Maybe we've found a use for the 1000 lb liger....see my post "Fat Cat" http://uk.news.yahoo.com/14092005/80/germa...mal-lovers.html German inventor's "cat fuel" angers animal lovers Reuters Wednesday September 14, 02:43 PM BERLIN (Reuters) - A German inventor has angered animal rights activists with his answer to fighting the soaring cost of fuel -- dead cats. Christian Koch, 55, from the eastern county of Saxony, told Bild newspaper that his organic diesel fuel -- a home-made blend of garbage, run-over cats, and other ingredients -- is a proven alternative to normal consumer diesel. "I drive my normal diesel-powered car with this mixture," Koch said. "I have gone 170,000 km (106,000 miles) without a problem." The website of Koch's firm, "Alphakat GmbH", says his patented "KDV 500" machine can produce what he calls the "bio-diesel" fuel at about 23 euro cents (30 cents) a litre, which is about one-fifth the price at petrol stations now. Koch said around 20 dead cats added into the mix could help produce enough fuel to fill up a 50-litre (11 gallon) tank. But the president of the German Society for the Protection of Animals, Wolfgang Apel, said using dead cats for fuel was illegal. "There's no danger for cats and dogs in Germany because this practice is outlawed in Germany," Apel told Bild on Wednesday in a story entitled "Can you really make fuel out of cats?" "We're going to keep an eye on this case," Apel said.

    A Fat Cat

    Hercules...a liger....1000 lbs...10 ft tall on his hind legs
  22. After serious consideration and meditation, the burning question I would have to ask is "How often do you have covered dish dinners?" I went back to the Methodist Church which is how I grew up. They actually do things to help people with needs in the community and welcome everyone with love and don't clobber them over the head with doctrines.

    pets and katrina

    I wonder if there are any displaced farm animals...horses...goats...hogs...mules...donkeys. Anyone have any idea where I might find out?
  25. Belle, We all suffer from news overkill and when some extra dreadful event occurs, then we can barely absorb it all. Sunday, we buried our friend and neighbor, Odie Ray, who finally lost his battle with diabetes, Monday we all saw the storm. While the storm raged, our friend and Andrew's Sunday school teacher, Merle L., lost his fight with cancer. Being such a small community, we get to deal with these losses together. We're all in it together. It's always a shared experience...so the impact is far less intense. Most folks like you don't necessarily have that luxury. All you can do is get away from all the news...watch some cartoons. Most everyone here said it all better than I ever could. You're a special lady and you've got our prayers, thoughts and love.
