Dry, maybe. But high? Well, I'm willing to be proven wrong.

Talk is cheap, Ray. Very, very cheap. Besides, if he's got you convinced that they have hills in Wichita Falls, he'd probably also like to show you some ocean-front property in Arizona. Okay, when I start quoting George Strait, I know it's time to…

May is the wettest month here so we weren't needing rain and certainly not this much. But, sadly, we only have two levels of rainfall in central Texas -- drought and flashflood. I'm sure jitrbug can back me up on that

They're calling it a "rain bomb" -- something that only happens every few hundred years. I'm sure that's a big consolation to the folks whose cars and trailers are washing down the Colorado river. Anyway, I'm faxing you a Diet Coke, HRQ!

Ray, it really HURTS to know that you didn't believe me without checking news reports.

We're drowning in my neck of the woods. The small hill country town of Marble Falls near Austin made the national news yesterday by getting 19 inches of rain in one day, half of which fell in an hour. Here in Austin proper, my limestone patio is cov…

Congratulations! But I agree -- it feels sorta like a hollow victory when the test is so ludicrous; I thought the same thing when I took it about 15 years ago. Still, you should bask in the new-found glory of your lofty certified status. In other wo…

Frank, I logged in too late today to wish you good luck in a timely manner...but I hope it went well. Don't panic if you think you blew it. I'll never forget the feeling I had when I walked out of the exam. It could best be described as "S#@$, I ju…

Uh-oh, I have to admit I've never heard of SG1, much less seen it. But I'll be on any team that will take me. Maybe I can be the Paulie Walnuts of another galaxy.

That was great! As I recall he also tells "Emily" (Suzanne) that she should wear more sweaters. I interpreted that finale as a subtle acknowledgement that the old Bob Newhart how was w-a-a-y better than than Newhart, which I wholeheartedly agreed wi…

I sing equally poorly in all ranges.
-
Frank, I barely know you but I think you're hilarious. Nevertheless, I'm going to have to disagree with you on the relative merits of The Sopranos vs. baked ziti. I mean, baked ziti is good but -- let's face it -- it's no chicken parm. The complete …
-
Not to get back to the subject or anything, but I thought the finale of The Sopranos was maddening and brilliant and made me think I'd accidentally sat on my remote. My friends and I made an evening of it, complete with baked ziti and chianti. It wa…

Apropos of nothing, I notice that today the Forum is being moderated by a deceased comedian. Maybe if things get rowdy enough over on the Son of Thread, MLS will wake up and assign a live person to us.

jitrbug, don't feel too bad. Your dearly beloved hometown is under a sheet of ice right now.

I loved his latest commercial: "I'm 61 years old, which means I'm too young for Medicare and too old for women to care." Don't ask me what that has to do with being a good governor, but I'm willing to find out. Like you (and Kinky) said, "Why the…

I'm a day late but I just wanted to reassure jtrbug that Leslie is still an Austinite. I saw him outside the gates at the ACL festival a few weeks ago. (Sorry, he doesn't get to be called "her" until he shaves off his beard.) Meanwhile, I'm on my w…

I'm not saying whether or not I agree with Frist, but if you read this whole story it does make a bit more sense. This statement, taken out of context, does sound extreme. But kudos to Ray for trying to stir things up around here. However, Paul, t…

I think I attended that church x:D.

I get it too, and I've never even been on I-70. The thing I love about this joke is that anyone can fill in their own local construction boondoggle. I could nominate the 4-way stop intersection three doors down from my house.
-
>Well, I was very pleased that "The" Ohio State >won last Saturday. So, Ray -- You thought you'd get me going on the Hillary Clinton thread and, failing that, you've resorted to dissing the Horns?? The ice is pretty thin out there in t…
-
I applaud (and somewhat envy!) your gutsy life-changing decision. I wish you the best, wherever this path takes you. Keep us posted...and meanwhile, rest assured you'll be a tough act to follow.
-
What about her (ex)husband? I actually feel more animosity toward him than Andrea. It's immoral and irresponsible to continue to participate in producing children with someone who is mentally ill. Last I heard, he was "getting on with his life" -- …

I wonder that every day. Today -- no exception.
-
Wondering why the weather's perfect or why you were lucky enough to have lunch with two beautiful women?
-
I was going to ask the same dumb question so I'm glad you went first.

I've visited NYC five times since 9/11. Compared to pre-9/11 visits, I noticed a distinct difference in the affect of salespeople, service providers, etc. in the first couple of those trips. People seemed warmer and less rushed, and the city was les…

Lenetta, you'll be missed on the forum but I look forward to staying in touch with you by email. Keep lurking so we'll know you're here in spirit! Debra

Get you started on what? School taxes or Beagle? ;;)
-
"To think they'll be operating the nursing homes we'll live in some day..." That's exactly what I told Parabeagle several years ago when he was griping about paying school taxes.
