  1. When they did my left eye I scared sh#$$#less. When it was over I was thinking whats the big deal. The biggest differance was that colors look differant. I never knew that white was white. For those of you who have not had the operation you won't understand what I just said.
  2. I was still in high school when it happened. I remember spending a math class talking about it. Our teacher was really bothered by it. I was more worried about my brother-in-law getting back. I also remember anyone who got in trouble with the law had a very quick out. You appear before the judge and he would ask army or jail. I never knew anyone who chose jail. The parents would sign an age waver and off to Vietnam you would go. In the back of each year of my high school annual was a list of those killed over there. Every friday Walter Kronkit would list American dead, South Vietnamies dead, and VC/North Vietnamize killed. I only remember one friend that was killed over there. Carver Vaughn. He jumped off a tank and landed on a mine.
  3. Watching the san Antonio news last night and they had a pole on Texas Secession. 59% were for it. The people in Texas are so upset with the attitude we get from Washington that they are saying enough is enough. The strange or troubling think is what states would try and join us. Yes the conversation has been here before with a large number fo the non Texans po poing the thought and laughing about it. The truth of the matter is that it is more and more popular here. The only thing that really frightins me is war. My wife is all for it. She has a real fear that health care will be passed and once you hit sixty health care ends. Laugh on its coming with a massive blow to what is left of the US enonomy. What happens of the Southwest leaves. The Us would import 90% of its energy. The dollar would lose all its value.
  4. I have had a Countrywide mortgage for years. Last year I refinanced to get a better interest rate and pay off credit cards. Countrywide was always easy to work with even when one time I got 2 months behind in the mortgage. Then last year Countrywide goes under and Bank of America takes over. I won't go in to all the small problems that Bank of America has caused just the big one. Escrow. One of the nicest things about having a mortgage over owning your home outright is the escrow acount where they pay the taxs and insurance by collecting extra each month as part of the payment. Well a week ago I got the statement where they were refiguring my payment and the payment was going up over $150 a month. I finally looked at the statement and found they had included flood insurance (twice) that I don't even have or need. I called them up to ask about it and the story kept changing as I moved up the chain of comand. Finaly they said they were droping it and would refigure the escrow. If any of you have had similar problems with them please PM me. I want to find out it they were only going after me or is it systematic. My neigbours went up $54 a month and they don't know why.
  5. Just played it on my computer and my secratery compented on it and 2 service techs came in to listen.
  6. Yes was much better than prostitute. If you don't understand, yes.

    I saw it yesterday with my 18 yr old son. He thought it was great. I hate 3d movies as they hurt my eyes and give me a head acke. I thought it was great as far as a visual experience. The story line was OK but I did not like the new age religous overtones. I went home and watched Beverly Hills Chiwawa(or however you spell it). I had to clear my brain of the movie. Of corse I won't watch any Lord of the Ring BS either.
  8. Just in Fox News ratings are up while CNN and MSNBC are both down.
  9. Mstar are you sure you got it from Fox news. The math works out more like Acorn. Maybe you should post it in politics.
  10. It takes a little while to think through how history gets all mixed up. But Scotty Pippin. Thats a stretch. But lets all sit in their pals.

    Your Fridge

    About 4 yrs ago we bought a new Maytag refrigerator. The third time we lost all the food we got a new one. So whats in it. Freezer has toaster strutal's, frozen waffels, frozen lemonaide, frozen limeaide, frozen veggies, and of course ice. Refrig has milk (fat free and 2%), one Negro Modelo, one Heinican, 12 Dr Pepper, 5 Ginger Ale, 6 7-UP, carrot sticks, cheese sticks, lunch meat, American cheese slices, colbyjack slices, apples, left over corn on the cobb, left over lemonpepper chicken, regular mustard, 3 spicccy mustard, mayo, 4 finds of jelly, bisckits, 1/2 onion, and 4 bottles of water. Margerin, yeast, ketchup, cooking grease, eggs. Cream cheese I got more stuff than I realized.
  12. I just got back from taking my wife to get an MRI. One of the forms ask for gender. There was a box for male, a box for female, then a box marked OTHER. Ok I know I am a hick red-neck out in the sticks. Even after you take a bull and cut him he still is a male. My bitch dog we went and got fixed and she was still female. I thought that when they did a sex change job they changed the sex. So what is other?
  13. I had a problem with the IRS. I tried working through their operaters. The only thing they work out is when are you going to pay. After they took $11k out of my account I got to another level of operators. One finally said I was right and didn't oue the money but they couldn't do anything. She gave me the number to the tax payer advocate and they fixed the problem. The tax payer advocate is part of the IRS. Go figure.
  14. They finaly had the trial today. All charges are withdrawn. They will determine a fine. As soon as he pays the fine he will be able to leave on monday.
  15. I never liked the show because it reminded me how my older sister use to torment me. Older sisters are evil. Well today I love the socks off her. Then I use to hate her.
  16. He goes on trial tomorrow morning. That may bring the eternity part real close, real soon. African justice. Arest you so you will give them a better deal on buying fish. Bribe money. Its in Gods hands.
  17. Ok lets try this on. My brother-inlaw is in jail in Sierra Leons because a person that works at the same company did not get landing authorization for them before they got there. They said you can't land. He ask to land, get fuel and then leave. THEY SAID NO. He declaired an emergency because the plane was low on fuel and could not get to another airport without fuel. He landed. Both pilots(american) and six passengers (English and Egyptian) are all sitting in jail. The guys who's fault it was is sitting in London. Tell me it doesn't matter.
  18. I only went 76-78. I actually remember it being cold at night. Meeting and seeing friends. Spending the day visiting was great. The music was pathetic. I always thought why cant they make music like the popular music. Never liked Way music. The showers at Sidney I think were at a high school and great. The showers at HQ that last year I still remember. One minate they were cold and the next burning hot. Things that bummed me out were people who would get there and then deside they wanted to go WOW. You couldnt take 5 steps without someone begging for money. Traveling was always the pits because one car had to stop at a Texaco and the other an Exxon. Didn't these people understand the idea of cash. Of course there was the weekend in Brownsville Tennesse with a bad transmission. The tranny was 200 miles out of warranty. It also seemed that people would beg to go so every car was overloaded. Do I miss the ROCK? no way. I do miss being 20 something with hot women everywhere.
  19. I havn't seen a police car that will go 192 mph. How did they catch him. I don't know about Kentucky, but probably they will not let a dreiver drive down the highway at 12.5 mph. Even with a displayed SMV panel the laws will not allow that down a highway. Personally I don't think they will ever meet. Two differant worlds. Now I just bought a Karmann Ghia in Detroit(Ebay motors stike again) and it took three days to get back home to the boonies of Texas.
  20. Two years ago my son spent the summer in the Fargo area working / summer missionary working with the southern baptist churchs in the area. Saturday morning he laid the bomb in our laps. He and his wife leave this saturday going back to look at being the music minister in a church start in Dilworth. My questions are what is the economy like up there. Will they find jobs and housing. They both teach high school. Anyone from up there? Help please.
  21. I was in a farm house outside of Ovala TX. Watching it on a fuzzy B/W TV. Still remember the whole weekend because of the family reunion and all the fun we teens had. We stoped swiming at Lake Coleman to watch the landing. Went to the farm to watch the walk. The night before we broke down in Lawn. Lawn was so small all it had was one blinking light. Everyone out at the drivein movie with noone watching the movie. Everyone in the snak bar having a party. O to be young again.

    Carmax

    A friend went to Carmax and started to buy a pickup. Went buy a dealership and bought the same truck for $800 more brand new(the used had 40,000 miles). I am a big fan of ebay motors. In April I bought a 2007 crew cab GMC for $9000.00. The kbb trade in value was $12,000. Had a friend sale and buy on craigslist. Used car dealerships make the most money on people who need financing. The cost goes up 5k and the interest is through the roof.
  23. I have been to Cleveland twice in my life. Both time were bussiness trips. My favorite memories. Getting lost between the airport and the airport Holliday Inn. I have no idea why they call it the airport one. Freezing to death in my room in august. A/c had been turned down to the point it was 60 deg. Trying to find a place where I could get to the lake. Getting directions. Go right down this strret about 5000 ft and turn right. Oh about a mile. No not that far. I took my wife a t shirt that said I Love Cleveland. second time I took my boss to finalize the deal. He was a Canadian and was not impressed. Never had the want to go back.
  24. Actually this flu is mild but............. It is very viralant. It spreads very easily and if you are exposed you will get it. A Dr. in New Braunfels Tx who works in a downtown San Antonio hospital sent out an e-mail to friends telling them what the health department and CDC are saying. They came down on this guy hard. It was in the Express News(mysa.com). Either this flu is nasty or the news is real slow.
  25. In area just to the north east of San Antonio they have 3 complete school districts closed. What are we not being told.
