I think I had been out a couple of years and was cleaning the house of all things that wern't right. That isn't exatly how I felt but dumped it all in the dumpster. I am glad because there are always those times that you think back and could fall back. I guess that was one of those times that my wife was really happy. Like when I sold my motorcycle helmet in a garage sale.

When a moderator takes on a name that allows them to moderate and then at the same time comment on subjects it gives them the power to control like TWI never had. The Political Forums are where you really need the moderation. To flame someone for not agreeing with you is out of control. Once you stand up a single time all your posts are torn apart simply because they dont like you. In fact I can tell who was corp by the way they handle dissention.

Greasespot Cafe is many things to many people. They get what they want and leave for the most part. Some people give and give. I came to Greasespot just to find old friends. I have found some and rejoice in the renewed friendship. Some people came to release the hurt they recieved while in. I never was really hurt while in. I left because of doctrine and being told what to do. My personality is not such that I take being told. I can move a mountain when ask. I am not a great writer as some of you are. I just try and get some thoughts out. Johny L, May God bless the road ahead for you. For those of you who are hurt and bitter and need to release. Go for it but in small amounts so the rest of us can handle it. -
Something else to remember. How long does it take from the time the evacuation order comes and you hear about it. I don't always hear the news at work when things are busy. An 8 hour delay can cause major problems if the order is not given early enough. Another problem for Galvestion is that they have to evacuate through the Houston metro area.

We in Texas are getting better coverage than most people. They were interviewing people as they got out. Many people had planned on leaving friday morning only to find the tital surge had already covered the evacuation roughts. They were stuck. Areas in Corpus Christi 150 miles down the coast were flooded by the surge. Over in Orange that is 100 miles east of Houston the complete town was flooded by the surge. It came earlier than many people thought. The biggest problem right now is no power. Houston is shut down because no power. I tried to call a business there to order a compresser and havn't gottten an answer. I first tried friday before it hit(they were shut down to allow employees to leave) up until today. No answer. We live 275 miles away. Every day there are more people showing up because no power. Also please be aware aware that it changed course on the last day. People in Galveston had less than 24 hrs to get out. Don't start condeming them until you have been there in their shoes. But yes there are stupid people. Three guys decided to ride out the storm on a pier. They called at 11 PM saying come get use. They were told to bad. They were eventually rescued at 3PM the next day. Only the end of the peir was left. So far there are only 5 confirmed dead in Galveston. This can not happen. I actually agree with Rocky on a subject.

The results just came out. I took first place in my class at a shoot on saturday. After breaking my leg last august and not shooting for 6 months I feel great. Can't hardly wait for next month and another competion. :) :) :)

Went home at lunch to eat. The weather out of San Antonio said they felt it would hit south of Corpus Christi around the King Ranch area and then head north. That would put it here the second night. The second night on land is what people around here fear. My parents lived in Comfort Texas until they died. Comfort was almost wiped off the earth in 1978. It was the second night on land and right over them. Rain readings went up to 30" in 24 hrs. As far as New Orleans goes. I think they need to dredge the Mississippi and put all the mud in NOLA. They could raise the cities level up above the water level and save evrything in the long run.

It's called the 18/30 rule. You turned 18 and you have 30 days to get your butt out of the house.

I don't know much about these pellot heaters but I will sugjest that you review how you can heat for the least. Electric prices, LPG (liquified petrolium gas/propane), fuel oil, natural gas varry per market area. An interesting local thing is that LPG has gotton so expensive that electric heat is cheaper. This may work out for fuel oil also. Heat pumps arn't popular up north because the sustained cold you get. Check out the ratings on the new heat pumps that use R-410a that is replaceing R-22. Gives 25% more heat at the colder temps. You can hook the up so that they work with a gas furnace. Our electric rates just jumped 20% last month and I am in shock over the electric bill that came today.

I have watch him on TV several times and after a while you start wondering if he even has ever read the bible. I have never heard him quote scripture. He always talks about God without ever mentioning Jesus. Don't need your Bible here. I have heard him refered to as the "Church of the Feel Good". Please note that he belongs to no denomination. He owns the church. Old Doc Vic never even got close to how much money this guy has. Seems there was some stain on the first class seat in the airplane and she complained. The flight attendant is sueing for 10% of her wealth. This is just a get rich quick skeem. Basicly lowlife going after rich lowlife. But that is just my opinion.

I live in a small town with lots of small roads with beautful views. For years every easter weekend they had a hugh bike rally here. All the hotels full. Couldn't get a table at a restaurant. The community loved it. Then something changed. The bikers. When they would ride down main street 4 abreast blocking traffic and challanging people we got upset. Once I was going down the highway at 65mph. I rounded a corner to find my lane filled with bikers. My choice was to hit the ditch or run them down. I took the ditch. What did I get for it and losing the load off the back of my trailer. I got laughted at. When the locals started chaallenging back the bikers went away. Were happy now. WE let the motorcycle, sportscar, and other groups have that time. The're nice and we welcome them. As for police officers. I eat breakfast every saturday with a police Lt. They will acknowledge that there are three kionds of cops here. The first is what you want, a public servant. The second kind we have is a burned out guy who came to a small department(means small pay) to finish his years and then retire. The third is the guy on a power trip. They try to weed them out through the hiring process. Some make it through. It takes reporting them and documenting them to finally get rid of them. Just so you know. I have one of my sons old bikes that I ran over. I strap it to the grill guard for when we still have bike groups that come. My mood is to tell them to eat sh@t and die.

I have always joked about having everything but a machine to wipe my foot. Yesterday while sitting in a waiting room , I was reading an old magazine and there it was. You replace the toilet seat with this device and after you do your bussiness you push a button and it wipes your foot. If you don't believe me look in the January 2007 issuse of the Saturday Evening Post. I got a copy of it and am having a great time showing people. I always knew I needed a new career. I am going to become an foot wiping machine salesman. Call 1-800-cleanbut for a demonstration. OK apparently there is new software out that replaces mention of a part of your anatomy with foot. The above article was not about wiping ones foot but about the use of bathroom tissue. If you can't figure it out. O well.

I snore very loadly. I wake people up. The best answer and the one that helps me sleep the best. Sleep by myself in another room. My wife didn't like it. I loved it. I could sleep on my back and rest. When I sleep with her I get beat on to roll over. One night she pushed me out of bed. Yet she likes me in the same bed. I have seem lots of older couples with separate bedrooms. Yes thats for me.

I have to agree. Squirls are smart.

Those gduyeg fyefbgawebcewtxnubrxgbajwgbxawbcwbxjgrb TREE RATS more commonly known as squirls. The problem would we easy to solve if I didn't live in town. Its called a 12ga shotgun. Cause believe it or not they taste GOOOOD.

I remember it getting cold at night. It never seemed that hot. If you want hot go to Houston in August. It was my first Rock and I had a blast.

My son is about to get in with this group. It seams to be a multi level marketing system. Ant one ever heard of them and can tell me if its legit. Thanks

If you would like a concealed permit or even like owning a firearm please check the presidential candidate before voting. Obama would likely ban them all. Read what the has said in the past. Of corse in the Great State of Texas we have concealed carry. I have six differant guns that it are against the law to have in Californa.

THere is a time to stay for family. Family to me is important and I will put up with a lot for family. Now to answer the question. Its called the straw that broke the camels back. There will come a time when nothing is worth staying. Leave and keep all the lines of comumication open. Time heals hurts. Good luck and I'll be praying. Your leaving could bring the rest of your family to the point where they leave also. Prayer answers all questions. Only what you hear from God. Not what someone else said God said to them.

Please no more talk of weddings. My bank account is at 0 with the wedding one monthly and 9 days away. Even thought is my son getting married the costs can go right thru the roof. Thought I had everything covered. Then we started talking new dress, new suite for me, new suite for #3 son, and lets not forget shoes. Then their is hotel rooms, flowers, rehearsal diner($600), and a trip every other weekend to handle problems. Big suggestion. When your kids get married make sure the wedding is in the same town you live in.

The Suns lose. They are a quality team that has class. See you next season. PS. You'll lose as long as you have Shack. He's the loser.

Who cares about baseball. The Spurs lead the Suns 2-0. Sorry Pheonix.

I was talking with my wife last night about this. In the 60's we always had something to watch on the 3 channels. I now have 192 channels and nothing to watch. We use to have something called the work ethic. That stopped in the early 70's. People would work hard and knew that their employer would reward them. Now the ideal is once the ase hole starts paying me what I'm worth I'll start working. The ideal that the younger generation thinks differently has happened every generation. The difference is the media promoted it. The biggest difference from the 60's to today is that then we were responsible for ourselves. Now its not my fault or situation ethics.

I remember her hating being called Mama Cass. She was Cass Elliott and don't you forget. She did have a great voice.

All that stuff I almost bought is on there. The one thing I did buy and regret was free credit report. Took forever to get them to quit charging me $9.99 per month.
