I am actually thinking about going back but I don't know if my heart can stand another ride with the airlines, lol. The last 3 times I flew anywhere it was a nightmare with delays and getting bumped off planes because they were overloaded or overbooked but hubby is usually with me. I can laugh about it now. Took me a few days though, lol. The sister is just miserable. I feel sorry for her but I wouldn't never leave someone in another state no matter if I was crazy or not, lol. Crow that is really funny. I bet the cleaning crew enjoyed the show. My kids used to tell me my panty hose looked like elephant legs at the end of the day, lol.
where are all the funny, laughing, giggling people?
Shelia...he's really cute like I knew he would be! That mural is awesome. You're very talented. I have a DGS that'll be 4 next month. I just bought a rock tumbler for him, as he picks up soooo many rocks on our walks. I thought he might enjoy seeing what they look like polished.
Crow...I don't think anyone can top your "moment!"
Oh, I forgot to tell you some of the funniest parts of my trip, lol. I was telling my friend that another friend from Alabama and I were saying do you realize how people Alabama can talk bad about about someone and its ok as long as you say "bless her heart" afterwards, roflmao. Like look at her she is is crazy as a loon......bless her heart.., lol. I cracked up when I saw a couple of those posted on here. We say that all the time so we cracked up every time one of us said it on the trip. Then on the way home the guy that picked us up was so tired and he was just talking away and started telling us about his friends pet buzzard. Well we were delirous and giddy after all the stress and he said this buzzard would sit right next to the bald eagle emblem on this guys truck like a watch dog and I said he thought it was his girlfriend, lol. Then he said they fed him biscuits every morning and I told him if the buzzard puked on the paint it would eat through it like battery acid and he said he didn't know he was a buzzard and wouldn't eat dead stuff. He would follow people that tried to go into the house and bite at their pants legs and I said...... he thinks he is a chihuahua, lol. Had to be there I guess but we laughed so hard my friend was crying. Then we get back and have to sneak and pick up her car at the crazy sisters house because she said she might shoot at us being in her yard at 4am so here we are trying to jump in the car and leave before she woke up and what comes running out barking and biting at our ankles but a chihuahua, lol. It was all I could do to wait until we pulled out of the driveway and started cracking up and said he thinks he is a buzzard and my friend almost wrecked her car, lol. We could laugh about it at that point until the airport thing....... bless her heart, lol. I hadn't seen this friend since I was 17 years old and we used to have crazy stuff happen all the time. I said well this trip was just like old times but I'm too dang old to be running around doing stuff like this now, lol.
It's people like Barb that makes the world a happier place to live in. Always full of humor and never a dull moment to be around!
Thanks for this thread Barb and all the laughs I had today from the funny stories posted here.
I had a delay in Austin ,Tex and when I got to DFW , they had a plane waiting right next door . Well, when I got off the plane , all I saw was the restroom in front of me . Well , after all that coffee and been up since 4:00am haven ridden from Rockport to Austin ,and the delay , let's just say I bolted across the hall in HASTE .After all , I'm a little hard of hearing and the hostess that told us our plane was waiting on us and go board , must have been a yankee, cause I didn't understand a word she said . While I'm getting comfortable and sighing the only way a woman could understand , A serious pain hit and it took me a little longer than I expected .It took a good five handfulls of paper before I was happy with my position in life .After scrubbing my hands as a lady should , I pranced out and asked the lady next to where I got off , where my flight would be boarding . That hussy told me they had been looking for me and thought I must have got lost in the restaurant so they left without me . I said 'WHAT?" to make a long story short , I rode up the stairs , down the stairs , walked until I had to find another ladies room cuz by this time I stopped for more coffee, rode a train and cussed American Airlines with every step I made .Sorry , I can't shorten this story any shorter . When I finally got on the plane , we took off around the whole d - - - airport , then we stopped . Stopped . One more time I'll say it so you'll know for sure, we stopped . And sat there for 3 1/2 hrs . because Atlanta was closed to landing . No coffee , no cigarette , no food , not even a drink of water .Captured , a prisoner . When they said we could take off , I thought , we're gonna crash , say your prayers, because , we're gonna crash ! And I didn't buy flight insurance . Here I was an insurance agent for 34 years and I didn't buy any flight insurance. My poor son was going to bury me and he would have to pay for my coffin , if there was anything left . Oh well , maybe he could get off with a shoe box , cuz I just knew there wouldn't be enough to fill up a coffin .Then glory be we got into Atlanta . Seven hours late . All because I don't understand yankee and I had a pain . digger
digger, dang girl. i know exactly what you mean about .........i can't even say it. but you go girl. i'm with you. and that's all yall are 'ever' gone get outta me. but dang digger. too funny.
and looky here we got miss plant give away herself. she only came because i pouted over on her thread. lol.
yall i am having an amaryllis co-op. the first one with the new rules. so now i'm famous for that too.
OMG mama! I just spent way too much time reading this entire thread and I have to say - you da bomb, girl! You all have me rolling! I posted your thread link on the SW Forum a couple days ago after I started reading this - you know looking for the most interesting thread and all. You take the cake!
loca
P.S. I voted for your co-op too, just cuz you're so dang funny . . .
In case we have some transplanted yankees, I just want you to know I don't understand French ,Chinese , German , Russian or any of those other languages either , If you are south of the N. Pole , you're southern .LOL . Anyway, STBF, no offense intended. digger
aw digger surely we don't have to apologize for our "little joke" among our friends. yanks and rebs alike are both americans. some americans are just more blessed than others. hahaha now i'm just kidding too. you know i think of our sweet josephine (who ain't a yank but she ain't a reb either) .........who is more texan than some texans i know. she knows this dirt just about as good as anybody cause she came to texas and made it her own. and the davester ain't actually from here either but who could be more texan than the daveman. lol
LOL Digger no offense taken ( transplant from Illinois going on 3 yrs now) telling jokes and such is all in fun and sometimes the only way to explain it is to use the terms you are used to or grew up with ...it's your way of life LOL
I've sat here and read everything and crack up
As some of you know my oldest girl is getting married here at home Sept 5th and DH goes out and waters every morning to keep things green and this morning he was talkin with the neighbor and his son on the south of us talking bout the easement road and trees along it and the property line markings as to what is who's so to speak and the guy was telling bout the dog across the road that comes over form time to time and how it almost got one of his scotties hit as the scottie chases it then they talked about my millie ( chi pup) and her acting so tough then turning and running and they laughed then he mentioned bout the wedding and they think that I am Shelly as they commented on oh so she will be gone and wont be around to do all the work she does..meaning me out weeding in the flower beds and workin in the yard ...DH didn't correct them either LOL..I guess taht means I need to just let my hair grow out and not cover the grey any more hahahaha
I know some of you are on the thread "heat", but for those who aren't and want a good laugh read this post.
Warning...don't be drinking anything when you are!!
LOL!!

Sounds just like my daily complaint that the weather man only teases us with hopes of mid 90's but it never happens, lol.
sheila who is that girl. she reminded me of the girl in house bunny. i cracked up. it's so true. every word she said. thought i would die over the wind comment. 90 mph winds are just another day here. breezes are nonexistent.
Don't know her personally but I know what she was talking about!!
My daddy used to say if the devil owned hell and Texas, he'd rent out Texas and live in hell because Texas was too hot for him. (BS runs in my family)
Crow
Crow, we must be on the same wavelength. I just posted that one on that other thread.
I'm going to be in Rockport the first week of Oct . I'm hopeing for rain before that . Maybe it'll cool off a little by then . The winter was warm last year , that's nice , but I'd rather put on coats and have a cold one. digger
Poured down rain in north Bryan to the point I had to pull over. Where I live on the other hand barely wet the porch.
we 'sposed to get rain this weekend too. bring it on.
Fishing down in the flats won't be worth a darn if the rains in central TX aren't heavy enough to wash the salt out and get some decent water in there. The oysters and shrimp catch will be suffering too . I'm with you mama , and all my fellow Texans , bring it on ! D
all chant at once
BRING
IT
ON!
BRING
IT
ON!
Waaaaay out here in ga, can you hear me? Brrrring it on . lol D
Doing my rain dance and the chant!!!
bring it on...bring it on...bring it on!!! Good rains for central and lower TX valley!!!
boom chakalaka.
.... you guys are crazzzzyyyy! Bless your hearts ... LOL
I got nothing to tell, you guys are a tough act to follow. lol
Yep bring it on! It was one town over boo hoo. I will entice it closer tomorrow night with a little rain dance I hope, lol.
It's Girls Night Out, and we're going to see the Julia Child movie 'cause none of us like to cook anymore....so we'll laugh thru it! At the Alamo Draft House, we can eat pizza and drink fizzy things while watching movie!!! Leaving you with something to think about....and yes, I did take out a bunch of them before I sent it.
Random Thoughts of the Day:
More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter?
I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase "Regards" again.
There is a great need for sarcasm font.
Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it.
I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the only one who really, really gets it.
How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.
Was learning cursive really necessary?
Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".
Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".
What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
Bad decisions make good stories.
Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do!
Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem....
You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
"Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever.
I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?'
I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Aghh!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles...
As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.
Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.
I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it.
Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my @## everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, in the dark, first time every time..
My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the devil do I respond to that?
.I wonder if cops ever get po'ed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.
I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.
The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimated that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself.

now that was priceless.
I loved it and some day I'd love to meet you guys on this forum . digger
digger, you're homesick. when are you coming back for a visit?
Leave the first week of Oct . will be there about 4-6 mos . Will be looking for a repo mobile home to put on a coupla lots just N of Rockport .
It just dawned on me a while ago , I've been taking Chantix to help me stop smoking and I 'e been sleeping a lot and don't have the want to, to do anything . If the floors get mopped ok , but when I d - - - - - well feel like it . This has been going off and on for a year . I've been taking this stuff for the same amount of time . got off cig. and back on them , a bitter fight . Hard after61 years . Any way you gals and guys have been my sanity for the last coupla weeks . I plan on taking this stuff two more weeks and it's either go or stop on the cigarettes . After that I plan on getting my life back . I was watching a commercial awhile ago and a light bulb went off and I thought , thats me . thats me . Gosh , how could I have not seen it ?
I'm telling you this because I know my Texans will support me .And other friends too.Thank the lord for this thread , and you for keeping my spirits up when nothing else has . humbly yours , sally
AAAAAAH. now i get it. i was at the dr's yesterday and she brought that med. up to me. how much is the rx?
Barbara, I am proud of you for even asking about the price of it. Does that mean that you are considering it?
You deserve to be healthy and heck it would be more money in your pocket for co-ops.
Your kids would be thrilled also.
BTW I am working on my weakest link. I have lost a little weight (51 lbs) and am working hard to lose some more. You have such a great shape, maybe I should take up the old smoking habit. Just KIDDING! Being fat is bad enough for my health.
Charlene
Most insurance companies won't cover anything that will help you quit. They penalize you, but won't help you when you need it. I've tried to quit several times. Make it to one or two a day, and something always happens to stress me out. Someday I will be successful. I hope! My mother quit when she was 70. She is 86, and still kickin".
Good luck, Digger.
absolutely, hat's off to you digger. i love you man.
charlene........it's always in my mind. i don't know a smoker who's happy about their habit.
maybe we need a stop smoking thead. it just makes me nervous to talk about it. lol.
I'll be 71 next Tuesday . The chantix WILL work if you want to quit . Just take it and when you can smoke half a joint and be satisfied , a day or two of that and get up one morning and say to yourself that you've been all nite without and can try for another hour . Each hour that goes by , get smug about it and reach for 24 hrs . After that , your so smug ,you have lost all your friends , except non-smokers and your inlaws think you are the witch from hell . But who cares ? You are on your way to extra money to spend and you probably didn't like your in laws anyway and anyone that married into those famlies was caught in a tempory mood of desperation .
My BIG word of caution , Don't think you can have a reefer with your coffee in the morning , It will only work for a week or so , after that , you'll slip and fall on your a - - as far as quiting is concerned. Keep taking the rest of the meds to help get the s - - - out of your system . Just don't fly with American Airlines , they will get you hooked again and all that money is gone and you may not convince your DR. that you want to try again . (wonder if I can sue ?)
Tell DR. that you want a full 3 mos. script to start with and it may be cheaper . Mine was 130.00 bucks I think but Ins. paid it . Check with your ins co . they may cover it . Before all this new health care began the ins co.s ,were good about covering a lot of things ,but some of them are cutting back on scripts .Like credit card companies , they seem to be afraid they may lose a little money and want to get or save all they can get. Digger
lol.....joint....reefer............cracked me up. for smokers doing without a cigarette and then all of a sudden getting to smoke.........it feels like getting a dose of iv morphine. lol. just kidding but your analogy made me spit my coffee all over my cigarette.
Used to have a t-shirt that said "Where In The Hell Is Buffalo Gap ". Where is Fate ? digger
lol. about 25 miles northeast of dallas right off I-30. between rockwall and royse city.
Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy 29th Birthday again, Happy Birthday to me. tee hee. I bought a cake to share with my students. The rules say that it has to be someones birthday and a mother has to bring it in order to have the cake in class. Well, it's my birthday and I'm a mother. See I can follow rules. lol
