  1. It would be a broken door that has no door handle. The lack of a door knob symbolizes how once through the door there is no escape. The broken door symbolizes the doors we had to break down to leave. We all have external and internal doors.
  2. I love the media. If there is a fire near a city where they can see smoke its national news. The fire in NC yesterday was national news. Less than 1000 acres Sunday there was a fire in the west part of Kerr Co. Tx. 4000 ac.s burned and you can't find a mention anywhere. Jan 31st we got all the way to San Antonio because one fire closed I10. In the last 2 weeks we have had over 10,000 acres burn with no mention. Maybe we need Britney being high again. I'm sorry we just are getting scared because its so dry. Last summer it just rained and rained. Now everything is burning.
  3. First let me say that I have a Bachelars Degree from the University of Houston. But really what does a degree mean. It means you can stick with something long enough to finish. Secondly who really checks if the degree is accredited. When I transferred from a junior collage to a university I lost 22 hours. That hurt. When I interview someone I check what they know. Not what the resume says they know. Check references until someone says something bad. Get the real picture and realize that no one is perfect.

    For Ham

    If'n I br driven, and some anemals start singin in the truk. I mite be drinkin agin. Or I just might want to check in at the State Hospital just across the river.
  5. I think I have a new theme song. "I Just Don't Look Good Naked Anymore" It's funny how all the pretty girls just laugh at me now.
  6. Today in 1986 the Challenger blew up killing the crew. It doesn't seem like 22 years. I can remember all to much.
  7. Call me short sighted or dumb. I really don't give a rats a@s what other coutry's think of my president. He or she is mine and not his. Race and gender will play a part in this election. Bill won by being a centrist. Moving to the middle. Right now I view Hillary as that person in the Dem party. Personaly I'm looking at McCain and Huckaby. I'd vote for Cody Rice.
  8. I guess I'm thinking like a boss. I am going to have all my employees watch. This is GREAT.

    Help

    Fortunity my parents didn't have the debt problem. What happened was that I slowly became the parent. They became less able to make the decisions. The worse feeling in the world is to become the parent of your parents. The phycological net that you have with having parents evaporates and is reversed. Pray that realestate prices reverse(go up) so that you can get control of the house pit. Around here 200K is a large house.
  10. Won the auction. Flew out to Denver last weekend and drove it the 895 miles back home. How about a 97 GMC Jimmy with every option but 4 wheel drive and leather seats for $2750.00. One door ding and I an smell pipe smoke in the car. only 88400 miles. Every one thought I was nuts. It is a great car. Got 22 mpg on the way home. Check it out for some good deals. Just read everything in the ads and check the sellers feedback. Most of the sellers have sold lots of cars.
  11. I got one. Hauled him about 10 miles away and reeased him down by the river. When he clesred the cage he was moving. I have the trap rebated in case friends come back. I am trying to get one of my sons to get up and patch the hole. He weighed a lot for the small size. I was suprised he didn't act up when I carried him out of the attic.

    Mr. H HELP

    You know my opinion of tree rats, I mean squirrels. It seems that several have opened a hole in the side of my house and have moved into the attic. Do I seal the hole and then trap them in the attic. Is there something that will drive them from my house. Putting a trap outside my be tough. There is a creek that runs behind the house and I don't want to try and catch all of them. What do I us for bait in a live trap? Please help your little cousins and I promise to release them many miles from here.
  13. This morning was one of those wild and crazy mornings where I can't believe I was stupid enough to hire these people. The story begins two weeks ago when some mice moved into the sheet metal shop. The guy in the shop came into the office and removed the pison that was out and moved that and some traps out into the shop. In the past week we have heard that a little friend has moved into the office. This morning we were starting the day off normally talking about what didn't get done yesterday and dispatching the service trucks. O, what is that noise behind the book shelves? Suddenly there are four guys with sticks, knives, and one BB gun hunting for the mouse. The poor little Micky is trapped behind the last shelf. The BB gun is fired, it misses Micky bounces of a potted plant, bounces off a window and smacks a guy in the face. Then Micky trys for the door, as Charlie backs up so Micky doesn't go up his pants leg............. He steps on him, which makes Michelle promptly loose breakfast. O the excitement of a normal office.
  14. One day little Johnny went to his Mom and ask. Why are wedding dresses white? Mom replies that is so you can show your friends and family that your bride is pure. Little Johnny thinks about this and then goes and double checks with Dad. Dad replies. Son all household appliances come in white.
  15. What's an ice rink? If I followed the directions I'd end up with a shallow pool. I have never seen a white Christmas and have worn a T-shirt without coat on more Christmasses than I want to think about.
  16. I think it is my oldest son. You know, the one that once stuck himself out of the bathroom.
  17. Here are the things that I ask my wife to buy me for CHristmas. Nice case for my laptop New electric razer A list of books A list of DVD's Then after Christmas I'll go buy the things that she doesnt get me. I'm itching for a new Mini 14
  18. I've become addicted to this game. I keep getting 48000 pionts on level 10 and it takes 50000 to get to 11. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
  19. If he likes hunting pay for a day hunt or get him something for his range bag. If he likes fishing get him some lures. Get him guy DVD's and don't complain when he watchs them. I wait till the SO is gone to watch my guy movies. XM radio is great. If you want to buy for me. .223, 308, .45, 30-06, .257 Roberts. I prefer bulk shipments but will accept all ammo. Just 5 more days till I can walk again.
  20. WELL I SNUCK UP ON HIM. Well I caught him with just his fruit of the lums. There was a meeting at the University of Houston back in 76/77. Someone told me to go out to the buss and get some boxes of material. I go bounding into the buss and there is the good old Doc in his skiveess. Shouldn't he have known I was coming. That is the only time I had a one on one meeting with him. I can still remember the look he gave me. Just ask me what I was doing and let me get the box and leave. No face melt or anything.
  21. Help me. Help me. I've been infected. Worse I'm going to go out and infect someone else.
  22. I don't believe in living scared. But one big thing stays in the back of my mind. Pakistan's government may fall within the next few years. They have nukes. The people who would take over are the Taliban. At that point I would not live or visit New York or Washington DC. We will be talking a Jericho. Me I'm not worried. I live in a town of 20,425. We are 70 miles from a major city. The highway patrol has a plan that cuts the interstate off 35 miles east of us. That keeps the craziness isolated away from here.
  23. Just so everyone knows. The Holiday Inn Express that I stay in 3 to 4 times a year uses those plastic cups that you through away. The next time I stay at a nice hotel with the glass glasses I think I'll request the plastic ones. My skin is going to be crawling all day now.
  24. This being the nice quite retirment community that it is, I give that car 3 hrs before some little blue hair who can't see over the steering wheel runs over it.
