Sorry guys and gals for bringing those word game threads back to the top ......... I suspect that we all are probably going through gardening withdrawals..........
I was just having fun and really dont want hate DMAIL !!!!!!!!
:o)
james t
Cabin Fever
What? I could send some your way. Always willing to share. LOL!
Are you REALLY James Taylor? Gollee...
yep ........ that's me :o)
I used to think I could sing also !!!!!!!!
then I sobered up !! I still have a couple of friends that call me sweet baby !!
Oooffffta ~ are we all showing our age? LOL Did enjoy the music tho Sweet Baby James.
Never have been long on hate mail but gardening withdrawal ~ you bet! This time of year my attention turns to succulents. I seem to buy one of these plants a week this time of year.
I have some of my seeds that I have planted just starting to germninate....... I am new to that .......this will be the first for flower froms seeds for me ....... course used to grow some marijuana from seed!!
We do have cabin fever here... I have flowers for the school to get ready, mothers day flowers for the kids to get ready... so many things to get ready - and yet winter keeps holding on here it just makes it soo hard to keep going. I have been busy with house plants... they move pots lot this time of year.
James, are you really the singer?, Wow! what an honor to have you with us.
You are not messing with us, are you?
Please tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
I think James needs to make the Waxahachie (feel free to correct my spelling) RU.
I have a seed box that seriously needs thinning....
=)
EYE have cabin fever. So do all my little cuttings that are ready to be back outside. All of this talk about swaps is making it worse!
Hey - be sure to give him all of his options, whether or not he is THE James Taylor some of us enjoyed in the past. There is also a Round Up in College Station on April 12, and that is a lot closer to Marble Falls!
How the heck do you spell Waxahatchie anyway!? My spell checker sure doesn't know...
lol pbtxlady
cabin fever, gardening withdrawals.......I have it all LOL...I want the bamboo roots gone so I can put the compost pile stuff out and till it in the ground so I can plant veggie stuff. I missed out on having veggies last year with our move then clearing things out here.
have broccoli seeds that have already sprouted in just a few days and am waiting on the others I put in to see if they will sprout as they are ones the boss gave me that he didn't' use so if they sprout great if not no biggie...have seeds coming from baker creek.
Oh and jataylor where were you born and raised, have you ever broken any bones, are you married and how many kids do you have?....pop quiz LOL
LOL!!
Waxahachie
Just think Wax - a - hachie... now what is a hachie? lol
lol Mitch
Are you sure you wanted to ask what a hachie is????
there is no hachie in the regular dictionary
but if you look it up in a google search you find there is one for it in the urban dictionary
An unfathomable yearning for a mans *****, Common slang for A Peruvian male
it is also a family name, used in regards to football and touchdowns and in urls for places in Waxahachie
LMAO
lol
Oh my - well would have never ever guessed that one, they are a very sleepy and reserved town... lets go with the family name or football, they love their football.
I thought it was an Indian word. We have many things and towns named that way.
Maybe so - I lived there for 4 years and never found out.
ok ..... sorry that I haven't been able to get back in here ...... NO ........I am not THAT JAMES TAYLOR :o) ............just an old country boy from central Texas !!!!!!
Still very nice to meet ya, let me be honest and say I had to look up who James Taylor even was.
Please do come to the swap in Waxahachie - it will be great fun, a bus trip and afterglow party and everything.
Oh well, it is just as well that you aren't the famous James Taylor we might have ended up being a little shy around you.
Waxahachie is a Native American word meaning "buffalo creek" or "cow creek"
Willis - good to know.
Lee, i knew it had to have some meaning, where did you find it? I looked and I couldn't find anything.
Thanks Willis glad to get the true meaning ........much better then what I found this morning for sure.
jataylor makes no difference if you are an old country boy from central Texas or who you are we are glad you joined us and please do come to Waxahachie in April .....I was only playin' with the questions.
I googled History of Waxahachie....I thought perhaps it was Caddo or Bedias but I researched some of my books on Indians of Texas
W. W. Newcomb, Jr. has probably the best (at least in the top 2) book on native inhabitants of Texas during the early 1800's. He states that the Tonkawas were the resident native tribe at that time in that area around Waxahachie...I went to the Official website of the Tonkawa Tribe and found the Tonkawan word for "buffalo" is
"awas-atak"...they didn't have a word for "creek"on the website...but considering how the "English" adaptations of so many Native American words were only CLOSE...it wouldn't surprise me if the Tonkawan word for creek would be something similar to "chie" or "shee"(phonetically) or at least a fragment of the phrase similar...to combine "awas-atak" to become a phrase like "awas-atak-chie" and the English/Spanish pronunciations phonetically became Waxahachie.... I'm only guessing here...but that kind of transformation was very common with the English/Spanish phonetic interpretations of the various Natv.Am. words that later became English names of landmarks,plants, animals, etc. across the continent.
Very interesting, and very good to know. Thank you very much.
I love Natural History/Sciences and Texas History...so it's a delight for me to try and discover things like that! My pleasure ma'am! :~)
Very very cool - Texas is so rich in history.
Willis thanks for the education!!!
I am still new to Texas and it is great to learn new stuff everyday of the state I now reside in
Texas has SO much history ........ and our state is SO BIG and has so many different environments in it that it is amazing. One of the District Judges that I work with is a NUT about Texas history and he is all the time asking us quiz questions about Texas.
The latest one was that he had all of the Drug Court participants learn the Pledge of Allegiance to the State of Texas.
He starts out court with the Pledge to the United States and then the Pledge to Texas.

I have never seen the pledge to Texas, can you show us?
"Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible."
Now that everybody is learning it..... his latest question is ....... why is this statement erroneous?
It can be made into 5 states, so it is divisible.
I don't know, but what Mitch said sounds good.
Oh no ~ I have been attending our city council meetings. They start with a prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance and then the Texas Pledge. Now, you are casting aspersions on it. LOL Was Mitch right?
Interesting! Something to do with the use of "one" again? I dunno!
LOL - Mitch....a Texas braggart would point out that you could divide Texas into about 215 Rhode Islands - (tongue in cheek).....
but then our friends in Alaska could point out that it would take 2 1/2 Texas' to match the same area of their fine state.....
To which the Texan braggart would reply....not if you melted all that ice!!! :~)

Actually, as Mitch can confirm--the Texas pledge is now required by law in schools. =)
Our state tax dollars at work.....
Hmmmm...I'm curious Mitch,....are you referring to something currently
being challenged right now?
I don't think it's about size, though--didn't Texas & the U.S. agree that Texas could be divided up into 5 states? Part of the entrance agreement?
right - Texas can be split up into 5 states via the way they entered the union
and yes every child here must say the US and Texas pledge in English and Spanish at the start of every day, I dont know if the Spanish is a Dallas thing or not but we have very few Spanish speakers here and we still have it in both each day.
