  1. Squirrels are best used as targets. Most places people use a 12 ga shootgun. Around here we just use a .22. If you are really hungrey they taste OK. Lets face it, they are just tree rats.
  2. Yes extend the helping hand and forgive. Yes then do it again. O lets do it again. Love is grand until a persons hate, bitterness, whatever drives you into the ground. Sorry but today I just don't feel like being the forgiving type.
  3. For me this is a sick joke. It reminds me to much of my parents dieing. Which has been on the brain the last week.
  4. If you are in a buble maybe its you. My church. First Baptist Church podunk texas. For four ears we made multipule trips to Mexico to help a misionary. This summer my middle son went with GONOW missions to Fargo ND. That was his third choice. The local asociation of churchs sponsers a moble shower for disaster relief. They go to an area that has had a disaster and set up. The people can shower while their cloths are being washed. Many churchs offer mission trips for adults. I can,t remember the name of the organization that is non denominational that offers trips both here and overseas. The point I'm making that the opertunity to share Christ is up to you. If we wait on our churchs we fail. Get with your minister and get him off his fat foot. Of cotse the real question is what are we doing in our own back yard. Finnal coment and I'll get off my soap box. If you have never gone on a foreign mission trip, do it. When you go to a place that not only takes you away from your home but puts you in a play that has none of the trappings of home you grow. There is nothing like the feeing you get as you start down a muddy street in a country where you can't speak the lauguage. It is a walk of faith.

    WIPE OUT!

    If I am interpriting what you mean as if it just started today. Well I think that all the hurt that happened would have to be purged again. I have met several old friends. One quit the site because she finnally purged the hurt out. It wouldn't change me much because I come here just because its a safe site to visit and spend time on. For me the topics would not change. One big thing that I have seen is the differance in thought from differant areas of the country. I live in a town of 20000. The closest city is San Antonio 70 miles away. Up in the Northeast the cities just run together. Many of you have never experienced a dirt road that is 17 miles long strait as an arrow.
  6. I thought it was a powerful vidio. My wife just looked over my shoulder and had me send her the link.
  7. Two guys were flying acc5ross the Pacific when the plane they were in crashed on a deserted island. One guy leans against a tree and relaxes. The second runs around the island screaming that they are gonna die. First guy says don't worry I make $250,000 a week and relaxes. The second guy just runs around trying to find a way to get rescue. We are gonna die there are no people on this island. First guy don't worry I make $250,000 a week. Second guy. I don't care how much money you make we are gonna die. He runs around the island again. Two days later the second guy is about to die just from fear. He turns to the first guy and asks OK, just how is you $250,000 a week gonna save you. Its easy. I make $250,000 a week. I am a Baptist and I tithe. The first Sunday I miss the preacher will find me.
  8. There is a local pastor by the name of Del Way. I have seen several members of his church wearing a jacket that said Way Ministry's. I almost fell out of the chair in the restaurant. I even got up and ask about the coat. It was just happenstance that the ministers name was Way. Let them suit him over his name.
  9. All of us after we left have had to decide what we believe and what we don't. My answer to what church to go to. Find any church where God enters. If you can fell the spirit when you come in the door, stay and worship. If he stays and you grow pray about it. The one BIG thing I got out of TWI is make up my own mind on what I believe, question everything, read and study. There are things I find wrong in a sermon all the time. I grow from annilizing what was said. The big answer is just find a place to worship and fellowship. Fellowship is important to growth. Sharing war stories of witnessing and sharing. When have you gotton out of your comfort zone.
  10. No I just want to go postal on the family today. GRRRRRR. Thats number 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 Thanks for the relief
  11. In a normal summer it hits 95 every day. 100 is nothing. This is the coolist summer that I have ever experienced. It has yet to reach 95. Last year we hit 100 in April. The one thing it has done is rain. Our normal anual rainfall is 29 inchs. So far this year we have gotton 44.8.
  12. OK ya its all true. So what? Actually the reason that all the above isn't true for women is that they need something to bitch about.
  13. This is true. I met some of the members in Mexico. Its called the church of the lost and found. They meet in a bar on the beach some where in the Carolina's. Church id over and the bar opens.
  14. Friday night a buddy and I would go over to a restaurant and get several dozen raw oysters and beer go back to the twig leaders house and have a fun time. I was great because all we wanted to do was worship together and be friends. No pressure.

    Texas BBQ

    I am hoping the my SO will let me drive the 276 miles to Houston. The question is do you have a grill or must I bring mine.
  16. Yes I like HEB. This is where the chain started in 1909. I have met most of the Butt family. So where do I shop? WalMart Its cheaper, its closer, it has a bigger parking lot. I do the grocery shopping. I go 4 times a week. I dont plan the meals out so I go after work and get stuff for two days. I hate people who bring 6 kids with them to shop. They scream, run around, throw tantrums, run the basket into yours. The only other thing that gets to me are old couples. The man is pushing the basket behind the wife. She checks the section and discusses each purchase with him. 10 minutes for a can of beans. If you see them at the meat case turn around. It will be 15 minutes.
  17. death to all the tree rats. or let them move to New York
  18. Squirrels are in my opinion tree rats. They can be fun to watch. If you have a pecan tree and want any pecans they are evil. I have yet to get a single one from either of my two trees. The two methods of dealing with them are trapping and shooting. One lady was trapping them and then painted them to see if they came back. Yes they do. Remove them more than 10 miles. Shooting works great to a point. (local pd told him to use a shotgun). I get nervous when the neighbour starts blasting away in town. It only takes the power company an hour and a half to get out and replace the fuse when they step the wrong way up the pole. Sounds like a cannon going off.
  19. It was never legal in Texas. It was a felony for even an oz. Today I think its a mistiminor if its under an oz, Personally I don't care because I don't use it. But if you want to take your life into your own hands you can float down the Guadalupr river and find some nice patchs growing. The danger depends on who catchs you. The grower justs shoots.
  20. Stupidity for going to fellowship where the leader was given out the pot. Stupidity for just going to a TWI twig. Or just stupid for smokin pot. Oh, stupid for driving afterwords.
  21. I say keep it illegal. I smoked it 4 or 5 times till........ 1976. After fellowship was over out came the baggy. Smoked a little. Three of us started home in my car. I was driving. Man I'm sleepy so I'm going to sleep. Mike the front seat passenger started steering and off we went up the Gulf Freeway. I remember getting woken up as we went through a speed trap(wow man). Then I got woken up because our exit was next. Had to be awake to change gears. The next day when I started remembering was the very last time I ever touched the dang. Today the most I do is maybe an adult beverage once every other month.
  22. It was better than what I remembered. Not my style, but better than I expected. I think they need to remake the womens hair styles. It does look 1975.
  23. Two things that are quit differant. Reading I devour at least one book a week. They cover the book shelves, are stacked in corners, piled under tables. Number two is fun but can be expensive. There is alsolutly nothing that is as fun as shooting. Out in the boonies shooting rocks and trees. or get the fun guns out and dumping a few clips at freon drums, milk jugs, and other large inanimate objects. Old cars are really, really fun.
  24. Those same houses here would run about $5m. The real estate their must be cheap. I can think of only two problems. Upkeep and living in France. Of course sence we are talking about cults I would have all the free slave labor I needed. It could be worse like in the middle of Ohio.
