I only know one guy who has a 12-string and I’m pretty sure he isn’t selling, but I will keep my eyes open. I had a Yamaha 12 for a while and then I sold it to a kid down the street. I’ve regretted doing it since then.
In fact, I can honestly tell you I’ve regretted selling any instrument I’ve ever sold. Not that I’ve sold that much, but the thing I regret selling the most is a set of Pearl Exports with Zildjians all around. I’m not even a drummer and I miss having that set. I doubt my wife misses them much though!
Today is a big day! Lovely Daughter gets ALL FOUR wisdom teeth yanked out - she has taken her Valium, and we leave soon for the pain doctor. Momma (hopefully) makes the big move to the nursing home this afternoon, as I leave LD in the care of Handsome Son. Trusting my 16 year old HS to care for LD is probably the scariest thing about my whole day…
Lots to smile about…I’m breathing and had such a great weekend with both my 5 year old grandson and 3 year old granddaughter…a great kind of exhaustion.

I had a comment in the “awaiting moderation” queue on hambone this morning. It was posted on one of my Catholicism pages. I didn’t approve it because it was so bizarre but thought I’d share it with you. As most know, I’m not a big fan of cats. But this is pretty strange:
Are cats for true Christians?
There are numerous reasons why a loyal dedicated servant of God should use his Bible-trained conscience to arrive at a proper understanding of why cats are not advisable as pets or companions for Christians. Consider, then, the following facts:
It was a common practice in ancient Egypt to worship or idolize cats as ‘gods’. Indeed, after death many cats were mummified, venerated and sacrifices were made to them. As Christians we observe not only the Mosaic Law, but also the ‘necessary things,’ identified by the Apostles at Jerusalem, to include the following edict: ‘(1) Abstain from sacrifices to idols’. We are to ‘guard ourselves from idols’ and ‘worship no other gods’. Such feline influence could lead to idolatry and thereby ‘grieve Jehovah’s Spirit’ with tragic consequences. May we never take for granted Jehovah’s wise and generous counsel brought to you by your spiritual brothers in the pages of this magazine!
…
The demeanor of a cat is seen by many honest-hearted observers as reflecting some supernatural, unnatural proclivity towards malice or evil. And, it is a well-known fact that cats are impossible to tame, teach or raise in the truth. The cat has a rebellious, independent spirit. While the animal itself may be unaware of this tragic condition, it serves only its true master - Satan, the Devil.
…
As loyal followers of Jehovah’s thinking on this matter, we can rejoice in the fact that in the new system, the incoming theocracy and World Order, the ‘lion will lie down with the lamb’ -Isa. 11:6-7. Yes, when Satan is finally abyssed, the ‘beastly’ nature of felines will be forever abolished, and they will be fit companions for humans on Paradise Earth! But until that rapidly-approaching time, God will reward all of our efforts to maintain integrity by loyally submitting to the leading of his spirit expressed through the loving guidance of the ‘faithful and discreet slave’. -Matt. 24:45-47

#49 Smack, I’m glad I don’t have a young daughter. Power Rangers were annoying and those Wiggles guys should be strung up, but I don’t think I could take Hello Kitty. Read this poor guy’s Open Letter to Darling Daughter.
The two people in the picture represent the taxpayers, Law Enforcement agencies and the Military.

Question is when will their smiles disappear and be replace by hate and anger for the political liars?
I am not a bike rider but I always look out for them. I’ve almost been run over when I did ride. I once had a close call with a rider in front of me that had a duffel bag fall off his back seat after a bunjie cord broke. It locked up his rear wheel (boots in the bag) and he stopped pretty quick!! I don’t tailgate and especially motorcycles. I had no choice but to put my car in a ditch instead of hitting him. His bike went over and he landed on his feet at about 30 mph or so and stayed upright running. It was one of the most bizarre things I ever saw.
Now, I have no sympathy for the spandex wearing Lance Armstrong wannabe’s that hog the road about 5 abreast, slowing traffic, ignoring traffic rules, running red lights and expecting cars and motorcycles (that pay taxes and fees like inspection and registration etc..) to just slow down and go around!
Catholic Church(I am Catholic) agrees to pay $650 million to sex abuse victims in LA. What is the total amount paid(and/or agreed to be paid) to date, anybody know? I know some inner city Catholic schools in Houston that could really use a fraction of that money. I’m not saying the victims shouldn’t be compensated, it’s just a shameful situation.
John Edwards is talking about becoming a champion for the poor and talking about the two Americas. I see on Drudge that Trump turned down $90 million for his house, while Hillary’s house only cost $4 or $5 million. Same for Obama, Gore, and Edwards himself. Is this the 2 Americas gap he’s talking about - say those folks with homes worth less than $10 million versus those worth over $50 million or so?
After Mr. and Mrs. Fenton retired, Mrs. Fenton insisted her husband
accompany her on her trips to Wal-Mart.
Unfortunately, Mr. Fenton was like most men–he found shopping
boring and preferred to get in and get out.
Equally unfortunately, Mrs. Fenton was like most women–she loved to
browse.
One day Mrs. Fenton received the following letter from her local Wal-Mart.
Dear Mrs. Fenton,
Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a
commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and may be
forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against
Mr. Fenton are listed below and are documented by our video
surveillance cameras.
1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in
people’s carts when they weren’t looking.
2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5
minute intervals.
3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the
women’s restroom.
4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official
voice, “Code 3 in Housewares - get on it right away.”
5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of
M&M’s on layaway.
6. September 14: Moved a “CAUTION - WET FLOOR” sign to a
carpeted area.
7. September 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told
other shoppers he’d invite them in if they would bring pillows and
blankets from the bedding department.
8. September 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began
crying and screamed, “Why can’t you people just leave me alone?”
9. October 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as
a mirror while he picked his nose.
10. November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he
asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.
11. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly
humming the “Mission Impossible” theme.
12. December 6: In the auto department, he practiced his “Madonna
look” by using different sizes of funnels.
13. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed
through, yelled “PICK ME! PICK ME!”
14. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker,
he assumed a fetal position and screamed “OH NO! IT’S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!”
And last, but not least,
15. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited
awhile, then yelled very loudly, “Hey! There’s no toilet paper in here!”
That is what they were claiming on KSEV this morning. i cannot read the article while driving, supposedly Cornin stated the border agents shoot an unarmed illegal immigrant. He stated nothing about the drugs in his van.
I do not trust Cornin, what laws did he enforce regarding illegal immigration as our Texas AG?
I been run down, I been lied to,
I dont know why I let that mean kitty make me a fool.
She took all my catnip, chewed my new mouse.
Now shes with one of my goodtime tabbies,
They’re screechin’ in some crosstown alley.
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I been tied to the scratchin’ post,
Tied to the scratchin’ post,
Tied to the scratchin’ post,
Good lord, I feel like Im dyin’.
AZ - Cornyn is the one who pressed for the Senate hearing on the case.
The fact that the drug trafficker wounded in the 2005 shooting outside El Paso was granted immunity to testify against Ramos and Compean — and also given a border crossing card that permits him to enter the U.S. at will — “cause me a lot of concern,” Cornyn said last week.
“Those are the kinds of questions, I think, that have raised legitimate concerns about the way this was handled.”

My 4 cats - Porkchop, Mr. Evil, Li’l Miss & Bug - are fat, lazy, sweeties. However at this moment they are making a pentegram sign in their cat litter. Wait a sec, now I see they are adding names… Ham something… Fas something…
Uh oh…
O.K….I’ve tried to resist, but y’all made me do this:
/sung to the tune of Cat’s in the Cradle…ahem…
Did you ever think when you eat Chinese,
It ain’t pork or chicken, but a fat siamese,
Yet the food tastes great, so ya don’t complain,
but that’s not chicken in your chicken chow
mein.
Seems to me I ordered sweet and sour pork,
But Garfield’s on my fork,
He’s purrin here on my fork…
There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon,
The place that I eat everyday at noon,
They can feed you cat and you’ll never know,
Once they wrap it up in dough, boys,
They fry it real crisp in dough.
Chou Lin asked if I wanted more,
As he was dialin up his buddy at the old pet store,
I said not today,
I lost my apettite,
There’s two cats in my belly and they want to fight,
I was suckin on a Rolaid and a Tums or two,
When I swear I heard it mew, boy,
And that is when I knew…
There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon,
I think I gotta stop eating there at noon,
They say that it’s beef or fish or pork,
But it’s purrin there on my fork,
There’s a hairball on my fork.
#70 While it is probably safe to distrust all elected officials, I have a special reason for liking Cornyn. He (through his AG office) is the only elected official who has ever done something good for me. I deserved it, but still, he was the one to take action.
Under criminal (as in still in prison) Democrat Dan Morales, the AG before Cornyn, the child support payment records were totally screwed up. By the end of Morales’ term they had me down for owing $20K+ in child support, largely from interest, even though I paid in full, on time. I couldn’t get a passport. Even my ex was mystified — indeed, she was totally unaware of the “debt” until I told her of it. She signed a paper agreeing that I owed nothing, but even then Morales’ people did nothing.
Within one month after Cornyn took office as AG, the entire matter was cleared up and my record wiped clean.
Even when I disagree with him, I love the guy. As long as he keeps pushing for a border fence, I will support him.
Cornyn’s never given me any reason to distrust him. He stood tall on the amnesty bill. He pushed for the hearings tomorrow on Ramos/Compean. He’s publicly stated their sentences were extreme. He’s not in the John Book of a hooker high-priced call girl. He doesn’t have an “open marriage”. He’s solidly pro-life. He’s a solid supporter of the 2nd amendment.
#89, you can add one other thing to that list. He has a public image of a person who understands that he is a public servant, and his job is to represent us the CITIZENS of the state of Texas first and the United States of America second.
Hello? tap..tap..tap..AHEM..™ John Cornyn is gung-ho (can I say that?) for the Trans-Texas Corridor….any thoughts on that, or has he changed his mind? Don’t fall for another wolf in sheeple clothing. Do I need to remind people of the facts on the TTC? KBH is a supporter as well. /spittles
I will not dispute any of your support for Cornyn, I will reserve my support until we see if these hearings produce freedom for the border guards. The least that should come out of these hearings is to free them pending a review of the case against them.
Lets see how well Cornyn questions Sutton about this issue, I hope he doesn’t allow Sutton to slip away without answering the questions. Cornyn can also get ambushed by other members of the committee, lets see how he handles it.
I was going to bring up Jefferson, too. I wish we had photos of him smiling. Somebody dumped him out in the Mill Creek bottom in Austin County on July 4th, 1976, we picked him up and named him after Thomas Jefferson. He had a higher IQ than some of the blog commenters I’ve crossed paths with.
#97: Glad to see another person “STILL WATCHING THEM”! Let’s just hope that the day’s of elect and forget are over…/a wise truck driver dude learned me that!
I’m always watching them, Southerntragedy. The only legislative action by Cornyn I can find on Corridorwatch that is even remotely related to the TTA is this:
SENATOR JOHN CORNYN HAS THE RIGHT IDEA
Yesterday our very own US Senator John Cornyn introduced the Protection of Homes, Small Businesses, and Private Property Act of 2005. If this bill becomes law it will prohibit the use of eminent domain power for economic development by the Federal Government and any State or local government using Federal funds.
Anybody who would e-mail a moderator and complain is an idiot. Get a life or find another blog. Or start your own. I bet they are the same people who complain about a upside down 8 on the gas sign.
Watching the local access cable here (it’s 10:25 AM). Crazy Hawaiian woman is stating that Canadians only pay 1.7% of their gross income for medical care. To bad there’s nobody with her to blow that statement out of the water. Lots to do today. Aloha ya’ll.
This one is for you, Nat Pierce and anyone interested in Australia. It is a great piece by the brilliant Theodore Dalrymple, a UK physician, writer and volunteer in the British prison system.
It doesn’t matter what party you belong to - this is pretty funny. From a show on Canadian TV, there was a black comedian who said he misses Bill Clinton.
“Yep, that’s right - I miss Bill Clinton! He was the closest thing we ever got to having a black man as President. Number 1 - He played the sax. Number 2 - He smoked weed. Number 3 - He had his way with ugly white women. Even now? Look at him… his wife works, and he doesn’t! And, he gets a check from the government every month . Manufacturers announced today that they will be stocking America’s shelves this week with “Clinton Soup” in honor of one of the nation’s most distinguished men. It consists primarily of a weenie in hot water.
Chrysler Corporation is adding a new car to its line to honor Bill Clinton. The Dodge Drafter will be built in Canada. When asked what he thought about foreign affairs, Clinton replied, “I don’t know, I never had one.” The Clinton revised judicial oath: “I solemnly swear to tell the truth as I know it, the whole truth as I believe it to be, and nothing but what I think you need to know.” Clinton will be recorded in history as the only President to do Hanky Panky between Bushes.”
#19 - ohhhhhhh OK - ya gotta wonder about some nutbar that appears in the GOVERNOR’S office attemtping to take over CITY Government?
(mebbe he skipped that day in civics class?)
I’m surprised it hasn’t happened more often. I have stood in government offices and seen the morons they have to put up with. You wonder, sometimes, how this country functions at all.
The flip side of the coin is, I have been to some government offices and dealt with some absolute morons, making me wonder how the government functions at all.
Three blokes - a Canadian farmer, Osama bin Laden and an Aussie engineer were all working together one day when they come across a lantern and a Genie popped out of it. “I will give each of you one wish, which is three wishes in total” said the Genie.
The Canadian said, “I am a farmer, and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada.”
POOOOFF! With the blink of the Genie’s eye, the land in Canada was forever fertile for farming.
Osama bin Laden was amazed, so he said, “I want a wall around Afghanistan, Palestine, Iraq and Iran so that no infidels, Americans, Canadians or Australians can come into our precious state.”
POOOFF! Again, with the blink of the Genie’s eye, there was a huge wall around those countries.
The Aussie Engineer said: “I am very curious. Please tell me more about this wall.” The Genie explained, “Well, it’s about 5000 feet high, 500 feet thick and completely surrounds the country. Nothing can get in or out - it’s
virtually impenetrable.” The Aussie engineer sat down, cracked open a beer, smiled and said, “Fill it with water”………
SMILE — I am first! Happy Monday
Smiling is for pansies. For the rest of there’s Ron Paul.
” Smile and the world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone” ” Just to See You Smile”
That would be “for the rest of us there’s Ron Paul”. Insufficient caffeine levels do this to me.
Mornin all, another day that God has given to us.™
You can keep Ron Paul and I will take my Lord and Savior with a smile.
Not much to smile about lately.
Sunny woman! I know it’s cold there, but there must be something we can do to cheer you! Emme I agree, God wins every time.
sunny, don’t let your joy be predicated on your circumstances. Choose to find at least one positive thing to smile about.
But it just wouldn’t be right to keep him to myself. Misery loves company you know.
Oh, and Halliburton.
Ron Paul is the natural antidote to Halliburton. Well, that and a tinfoil hat.
Ron Paul makes my whites whiter and fresher smelling. He even makes julienne fries.
Dude, I’m looking for a thin-bodied 12-string. If you run across one, let me know!
BigJ,
I only know one guy who has a 12-string and I’m pretty sure he isn’t selling, but I will keep my eyes open. I had a Yamaha 12 for a while and then I sold it to a kid down the street. I’ve regretted doing it since then.
In fact, I can honestly tell you I’ve regretted selling any instrument I’ve ever sold. Not that I’ve sold that much, but the thing I regret selling the most is a set of Pearl Exports with Zildjians all around. I’m not even a drummer and I miss having that set. I doubt my wife misses them much though!
Smile, and make everyone wonder what you are up to!
Today is a big day! Lovely Daughter gets ALL FOUR wisdom teeth yanked out - she has taken her Valium, and we leave soon for the pain doctor. Momma (hopefully) makes the big move to the nursing home this afternoon, as I leave LD in the care of Handsome Son. Trusting my 16 year old HS to care for LD is probably the scariest thing about my whole day…
I’ve met Julienne Fries and she has a thin body.
Not sure about the strings an her relationship to Ron Paul, though
I wouldn’t have much to smile about lately either, if I lived in a socialist country…..:)
But does she sound better strummed or fingerpicked?
I’m not sure Julienne will pick up on this discussion.
/boooooo…. hisssssss
Lots to smile about…I’m breathing and had such a great weekend with both my 5 year old grandson and 3 year old granddaughter…a great kind of exhaustion.
Ask Ron Paul–dude says he made her
But hey;
Don’t fret about Julienne Fries
I’ve met Julienne. She made so much noise I just had to tune her out.
I’m smiling at the pun-fest.
8^)
Yah, but Julienne was instrumental to me during a certain part of my life.
Lately I’ve just been stringing her along.
We had a rough time of it a couple of years ago but that’s all water under the bridge.
Ok, I’ll stop now

#12 - BigJ I can’t say I’ve ever even SEEN a 12 string with a ‘thin’ body - do ‘they’ even make one?
Seems like that design would be self defeating for the intended sound………
I had heard that Julienne was Hayseed’s alias when he is in drag.

Just how many cats do you have? Do you have an amount that would classify you as a “Crazy Cat Lady”?
More than three in my opinion makes you a potential Crazy Cat Lady!

If you are raising cats for consumption at Chinese Buffets would you get a pass from being a crazy cat lady?

My 4 cats - Porkchop, Mr. Evil, Li’l Miss & Bug - are fat, lazy, sweeties. However at this moment they are making a pentegram sign in their cat litter. Wait a sec, now I see they are adding names… Ham something… Fas something…
Uh oh…

Let’s see what Cornyn really does at the hearing, too many times it is all smoke and mirrors with nothing really accomplished.
Either these guys should be free or we are being lied to.

Between this payout and the church protecting illegal immigrants maybe it is time to withhold your financial support for the church.
Elizabeth:
If they start one with Mal, please stir the litter.
Thank you for your promt response.
O.K….I’ve tried to resist, but y’all made me do this:
/sung to the tune of Cat’s in the Cradle…ahem…
Did you ever think when you eat Chinese,
It ain’t pork or chicken, but a fat siamese,
Yet the food tastes great, so ya don’t complain,
but that’s not chicken in your chicken chow
mein.
Seems to me I ordered sweet and sour pork,
But Garfield’s on my fork,
He’s purrin here on my fork…
There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon,
The place that I eat everyday at noon,
They can feed you cat and you’ll never know,
Once they wrap it up in dough, boys,
They fry it real crisp in dough.
Chou Lin asked if I wanted more,
As he was dialin up his buddy at the old pet store,
I said not today,
I lost my apettite,
There’s two cats in my belly and they want to fight,
I was suckin on a Rolaid and a Tums or two,
When I swear I heard it mew, boy,
And that is when I knew…
There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon,
I think I gotta stop eating there at noon,
They say that it’s beef or fish or pork,
But it’s purrin there on my fork,
There’s a hairball on my fork.

#70 While it is probably safe to distrust all elected officials, I have a special reason for liking Cornyn. He (through his AG office) is the only elected official who has ever done something good for me. I deserved it, but still, he was the one to take action.
Under criminal (as in still in prison) Democrat Dan Morales, the AG before Cornyn, the child support payment records were totally screwed up. By the end of Morales’ term they had me down for owing $20K+ in child support, largely from interest, even though I paid in full, on time. I couldn’t get a passport. Even my ex was mystified — indeed, she was totally unaware of the “debt” until I told her of it. She signed a paper agreeing that I owed nothing, but even then Morales’ people did nothing.
Within one month after Cornyn took office as AG, the entire matter was cleared up and my record wiped clean.
Even when I disagree with him, I love the guy. As long as he keeps pushing for a border fence, I will support him.
Cornyn’s never given me any reason to distrust him. He stood tall on the amnesty bill. He pushed for the hearings tomorrow on Ramos/Compean. He’s publicly stated their sentences were extreme. He’s not in the John Book of a
hookerhigh-priced call girl. He doesn’t have an “open marriage”. He’s solidly pro-life. He’s a solid supporter of the 2nd amendment.#89, you can add one other thing to that list. He has a public image of a person who understands that he is a public servant, and his job is to represent us the CITIZENS of the state of Texas first and the United States of America second.
89 Hamster…
You sucked those thoughts outta my brain!
sunny, just think, you could be in tedtam’s shoes.
Smile, baby!!!
Hang in there tedtam.
Yeah, well, you never met my smiling dog, Jefferson.
Mostly Border Collie. He was hilarious.
Hello? tap..tap..tap..AHEM..™ John Cornyn is gung-ho (can I say that?) for the Trans-Texas Corridor….any thoughts on that, or has he changed his mind? Don’t fall for another wolf in sheeple clothing. Do I need to remind people of the facts on the TTC? KBH is a supporter as well. /spittles
I will not dispute any of your support for Cornyn, I will reserve my support until we see if these hearings produce freedom for the border guards. The least that should come out of these hearings is to free them pending a review of the case against them.
Lets see how well Cornyn questions Sutton about this issue, I hope he doesn’t allow Sutton to slip away without answering the questions. Cornyn can also get ambushed by other members of the committee, lets see how he handles it.

I was going to bring up Jefferson, too. I wish we had photos of him smiling. Somebody dumped him out in the Mill Creek bottom in Austin County on July 4th, 1976, we picked him up and named him after Thomas Jefferson. He had a higher IQ than some of the blog commenters I’ve crossed paths with.
#97: Glad to see another person “STILL WATCHING THEM”! Let’s just hope that the day’s of elect and forget are over…/a wise truck driver dude learned me that!
I meant 95. /ducks head in shame…
99?
I love Google’s quote for the day:

I’m always watching them, Southerntragedy. The only legislative action by Cornyn I can find on Corridorwatch that is even remotely related to the TTA is this:

Anybody who would e-mail a moderator and complain is an idiot. Get a life or find another blog. Or start your own. I bet they are the same people who complain about a upside down 8 on the gas sign.
Watching the local access cable here (it’s 10:25 AM). Crazy Hawaiian woman is stating that Canadians only pay 1.7% of their gross income for medical care. To bad there’s nobody with her to blow that statement out of the water. Lots to do today. Aloha ya’ll.

This one is for you, Nat Pierce and anyone interested in Australia. It is a great piece by the brilliant Theodore Dalrymple, a UK physician, writer and volunteer in the British prison system.
http://www.newenglishreview.org/custpage.cfm/frm/8744/sec_id/8744
Here is a list of articles he wrote for City Journal:
http://www.city-journal.org/author_index.php?author=47
It doesn’t matter what party you belong to - this is pretty funny. From a show on Canadian TV, there was a black comedian who said he misses Bill Clinton.
“Yep, that’s right - I miss Bill Clinton! He was the closest thing we ever got to having a black man as President. Number 1 - He played the sax. Number 2 - He smoked weed. Number 3 - He had his way with ugly white women. Even now? Look at him… his wife works, and he doesn’t! And, he gets a check from the government every month . Manufacturers announced today that they will be stocking America’s shelves this week with “Clinton Soup” in honor of one of the nation’s most distinguished men. It consists primarily of a weenie in hot water.
Chrysler Corporation is adding a new car to its line to honor Bill Clinton. The Dodge Drafter will be built in Canada. When asked what he thought about foreign affairs, Clinton replied, “I don’t know, I never had one.” The Clinton revised judicial oath: “I solemnly swear to tell the truth as I know it, the whole truth as I believe it to be, and nothing but what I think you need to know.” Clinton will be recorded in history as the only President to do Hanky Panky between Bushes.”
#109,
Think gregg got his first HS complaint.
I think Smacktle said it best when he said:
LMAO!
I would have commented “over there” but they banned me!
Anybody seen or heard from Wino???
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,289518,00.html
Hamous we banned you just like we banned jimb and The Dude. You people are too clean and were runing the “other” blogs rep.

#116 - Hammy if ya ever checked Wino’s blog………….I saw a post from him EARRRRRRRRRRLY this am…….
Kat, Wino had a habit of saying “Make me emperor…” When I saw that story I immediately thought of him.
#19 - ohhhhhhh OK - ya gotta wonder about some nutbar that appears in the GOVERNOR’S office attemtping to take over CITY Government?
(mebbe he skipped that day in civics class?)
hehehehehehehehehehehe
Like the old saying goes, you can’t fight City Hall…especially in the Governor’s Office.
#117 Gee thanks… I feel so dirty!

Kinda like going to Phat Ho’s Chinese Restaurant and asking for an enchilada platter… ‘cept without the gun and all…
dang, I’m hungry….
#122, Yep.
Rainin’. Just saw Noah float by.
Wooo, That guy is getting old.
I’m surprised it hasn’t happened more often. I have stood in government offices and seen the morons they have to put up with. You wonder, sometimes, how this country functions at all.
The flip side of the coin is, I have been to some government offices and dealt with some absolute morons, making me wonder how the government functions at all.
Oops I forgot. They barely do so.
#125 marc, If he floats by again, tell him there are still a lot of FEMA trailors not being used.
I get very good service at our Waller County court extension office. The staff treats you like neighbors, and they are professional.
