Wolverine Announcements 1.1

[HappyRebel]

Good Morning Wolverines....wow nobody has posted since 11:53 I am shocked...

[golsalax]

Good morning, y'all.

We just have gone over 1,000 replies in this thread. I do see that we are getting close to 5,000 views, I think.

[DONNIE D]

Morning.

Raining on the right coast.

Got up, layed in the Hot-Tub. I'm ruined now for awhile. :)

[HappyRebel]

Good morning, y'all.

Just think if all that hadn't been erased how many we would have...lol

[FIJIFan]

Good morning Everyone! Happy Hump Day!

Everyone on the coast stay safe please!

[golsalax]

Just think if all that hadn't been erased how many we would have...lol

True, yet we should be glad that we've gotten over 1,000 replies again. :D

Changing the subject...

LIQR is the expert on goats, and I saw this headline at Yahoo where it shows a movie icon followed by the headline-- "Genetic disorder makes goats faint and fall when startled." I never heard of that, so I googled it up...

[wantsBU2win]

OK Wants...Sharon Resultan. Hot or Not?

Hot.

Stay safe. We will all continue to pray for you and your family. Keep us posted.

I agree greggors. Let's hope this has a minimal effect.

Good morning Everyone! Happy Hump Day!

Everyone on the coast stay safe please!

Morning Fiji. How are ya?

[FIJIFan]

Morning Fiji. How are ya?

I am doing well this morning, thanks for asking! (much better than my mood last night:cursing:)

Trying to get payroll out the door this morning, but my offices felt the need this week to bombard me with last minute "high importance" emails. I have gotten to the point where I dont really care if you mark the email "high importance" because 80% of them are. Someone keeps calling Wolf.

Dont want to bore folks with goat stuff but fainting goats were developed as a breed of meat goats in Tennessee. Their fight or flight instinct is messed up in that instead of fleeing they sometimes just pass out. I thought it is interesting that you cant use electric fencing with them. When shocked they will pass out on fence. Shorts out the fence and kills the goat.

[Bigshot628]

mornin' everyone

Kills them and cooks them at the same time...lol...sorry...couldn't resist...

[DONNIE D]

Want's, we need a weather report.

[DONNIE D]

Looks like my brother in Lake Jackson is headed north too.

[atxtraveler]

Yes, but the burnt goat hair odor is hard to get past without alot of gravy.

[DONNIE D]

Yes, but the burnt goat hair odor is hard to get past without alot of gravy.I think that smell is something they are use to.

[HappyRebel]

Good thing LIQR doesn't have fainting goats..I would be scaring them just to watch them pass out...lol

[DONNIE D]

Does anyone have Yahoo Instant Messaging?

[LIQRinPU]

If you had a whole herd that carried the gene you could walk out and clap your hands and they would all pass out. In reality the trait is recessive and only a few in the herd will have it.

[HappyRebel]

Yeah but just think if them rascals escaped...you would just have to spook them and they would pass out..then you could just throw them back in the fence...lol..

[Bexar Fan]

Stay safe. We will all continue to pray for you and your family. Keep us posted.
Indeed. Stay safe islanders. If the West End shuts down, or if the track heads nearer to Galveston, y'all could just come to the game.

Prayers for any other Vine friends or relatives that may be in harms way.

Yeah but just think if them rascals escaped...you would just have to spook them and they would pass out..then you could just throw them back in the fence...lol..
If that would work for women, just think of all the booze that could be saved.

Good Morning all!!

[atxtraveler]

Donnie... I prefer Google Chat.

Speaking of Google, please do read the new article in the Rodeo News about Google. There are a few happenings here at Green and Gold Report that I would like to get your help on....

[HappyRebel]

If that would work for women, just think of all the booze that could be saved.
Good Morning all!!


Funny

[DONNIE D]

If that would work for women, just think of all the booze that could be saved.

Good Morning all!!The women I've had lately don't even need booze.They just cross the fence on their own. Guess it's this South Carolina air. :)

[ChipOC]

Fine. For now. Going to suck later this week.

The mayor did issue a voluntary evacuation for the West End today. That makes it look more likely that I'm going to my parents' house with the baby Friday. Although we're behind the very end of the Seawall, our water supply is tied to the West End's. If it floods down there (and anything beyond a 3 ft storm surge will cause a flood) they'll likely shut off the water supply to keep it from being overrun. That will shut off our water supply and I don't want to be in a house with an infant and no water.

I'll make the determination about whether or not I take the irreplaceable things with me probably Thursday, depending on how the track is looking. The hurricane is so all over the place that I think everyone's pretty much baffled as to where it's actually going to go.

MSNBC has a story up tonight that talks about Galveston. It said that if a Category 3 goes straight into Galveston and heads up the Houston Ship Channel, the effects will be more disastrous than Katrina. It also quoted the head of the Texas Windstorm Insurance Fund--who everyone down here has to get their windstorm insurance from (for example, Allstate covers windstorm for us through 9/22, after that I have to sign a waiver to renew and then go to TWIC for windstorm coverage and FEMA for flood coverage)--TWIC said their exposure in Galveston County alone was more than $18 BILLION. Yeah, you read that right...$18 Billion.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26628436/ (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26628436/)

What will be really ugly is if it shifts and they need to evacuate down here, since they don't really have any good idea where it's going right now. There will be so little time to get out that it will be a huge mess, I fear.

I think about all this, and then I think about the folks living in Galveston on September 8, 1900. One hundred and eight years ago yesterday, people woke up and just went about their day. The wind was blowing and the gulf was choppy, but they never knew what was coming until it got here, and of course by then it was too late. In a weird way, we have all this technology, and we know it's coming, so we can sit here and hypothesize, but for this particular storm, we don't know WHERE it's coming. At any rate, the anniversary of the 1900 storm is always kind of somber to me. Perhaps it's because I'm a BOI.
I always figured Wacoso would marry a boi.

Seriously, stay safe you guys.

[wantsBU2win]

well the projected path still shows landfall near Corpus Christi (if not directly hit).

It appears that it could be a Cat 3 storm when making landfall. When it makes the turn north, it depends on how far to the left or right it does to determine the exact amount of wind/rain Central Texas will receive. There is the strong possibility that it will go straight over Waco.

Could make for a bumpy weekend here in the Heart of Central Texas.

I was sure they would have been developed by aggies to make dating easier.

Are you talking about goats too?

[Bexar Fan]

Baaaaaaa still means no, Chip.

[Wacoso]

I always figured Wacoso would marry a boi.

Quit dreaming about me. You have a perfectly good lawyer in SA to care about and one in heaven to take care of our kids.

Seriously, stay safe you guys.

Thanks Chip.

[DONNIE D]

Are you talking about goats too?Nah, it's the famous fence I was talking about. It's like a line in the sand. Mine has French Doors with a sign that says "clothing optional beyond this point".

[BearChick]

Could make for a bumpy weekend here in the Heart of Central Texas.

Look at the bright side. You haven't been going through your possessions this morning and picking out what is "irreplaceable" to come with you when you leave.

I found Wacoso's Baylor ring, but I can't find mine.

[BearChick]

I always figured Wacoso would marry a boi.

Seriously, stay safe you guys.

Thanks, Chip. I have to admit, this morning's been a little depressing. More so than I would have thought.

But I am going to get Chinese with my dad and The Pooky in 30 min.

[DONNIE D]

Look at the bright side. You haven't been going through your possessions this morning and picking out what is "irreplaceable" to come with you when you leave.

I found Wacoso's Baylor ring, but I can't find mine.Maybe it's with the Basketball one. :)

[BearChick]

Nope, Donnie, I found that one. It's in the box to go.

XP from the Ike thread:
FYI, Galveston has just issued a voluntary evacuation for the West End of the Island, which begins just yards from our house. We are the last subdivision behind the Seawall, and we're not behind it by much. They will be declaring a state of emergency for the city at 11:30 today, according to a story just posted on the Daily News website.

[HappyRebel]

You guys have a safe trip to your moms...

[golsalax]

BC, Wacoso and Pooky, stay safe! Have a safe trip to your parents' house.

Prayers also go to DD's family who are traveling north in Texas; the same goes to Bigshot's family in Corpus. Prayers to the ones we know that they will be safe and sound.

[Greggor25]

Good afternoon Wolverines. I will be praying for everyone's family who is being evacuated during the hurricane. Hope everyone is having a good day.

Hi Greggor....so far so good..only three more hours and I get off of work...yippy....

[Greggor25]

Hi Greggor....so far so good..only three more hours and I get off of work...yippy....

Hi HR. Aren't some of us lucky we got off work early.

[LIQRinPU]

Only 3 and 1/2 for me. On the downhill side of this week.

[Greggor25]

Just one more day till I am on vacation for about two weeks.

[ChipOC]

I found Wacoso's Baylor ring, but I can't find mine.
Why is it not on his hand?

Pictures, guns, checkbook, computer, pets, bourbon, backup bottle of bourbon. Anything else necessary?

[Bigshot628]

not sure if my family is bailing out of Corpus or not. My dad is usually pretty stubborn about things like that. I'll make a call and check a little later this afternoon.

[FIJIFan]

Why is it not on his hand?

Pictures, guns, checkbook, computer, pets, bourbon, backup bottle of bourbon. Anything else necessary?

Insurance documents.

But other than that I think you have it covered!

[LIQRinPU]

[HillCountryBEAR]

hello all!

what is the weather supposed to be like game time?
I'm thinking if it's really raining maybe there won't be such a big line for the REI sale and I could really clean up then,............

[atxtraveler]

Buy all the raincoats, and sell them at the tailgate.

[DONNIE D]

Sure is quite this afternoon. Guess a storms a brewing.

[FIJIFan]

such a big line for the REI sale and I could really clean up then,............

Are all the REI's doing this, or just the one in Austin?

[Texas Golfer]

Rain is one thing. A storm is yet another. I am really looking to see what's going to happen in Waco on Saturday.

[DONNIE D]

[BearChick]

I know you meant it as a joke, but right now, it's just not that funny. They're family and they're coming. It's my job to take care of them. Now, back to packing up my house.

[BrooksBearLives]

:lol: I'm not smug, I'm just better than you.

You rang?

[DONNIE D]

Get on outta there BC, W can come out tomorrow. Please don't wait till the last minute.

Well you aren't a virgin anymore after that June night with Wacoso and that sheep so relax.

[BrooksBearLives]

Dude, it doesn't make you gay if YOU'RE the one gettin the BJ... just saying.

[Wacoso]

Dude, it doesn't make you gay if YOU'RE the one gettin the BJ... just saying.

You trained that sheep well. I went to grab a beer then I had to leave the place after catching a glimpse of you two on the couch.

[Wacoso]

and does the sheep make it a zzzzzzJ for you?

[Greggor25]

What's up everyone?

[Bexar Fan]

Get on outta there BC, W can come out tomorrow. Please don't wait till the last minute.
Absolutely! BBL too!

[Bigshot628]

made the call to my parents, my dad said he'd stay if stayed a category 2, he'll pack up and leave for a 3. He's boarding up our house as we speak. They'll probably head down to Hebronville.

[nein51]

You guys stay safe, I have already offered but I have floor space in Waco and a number of inflatable mattresses, it isnt the Hilton but I do have high speed and better cable selection :)

Good day at work today, 6 hours sportfishing. Sadly, all I caught were a TON of crappy cod and a few of these http://www.goldenstateimages.com/GSI_big.php?img=FGE-029. Just as ugly as they appear in the picture, hard to catch and they are "poisonous" so you have to be careful brining them in. Apparently they taste very good but the filets cant be more than 2-4oz and there is a 5 catch limit. Got a couple rockfish, a sol and some random garbage but nothing worth writing home about. Still better than the best day at the office.

[BearChick]

Well ****.

Mandatory evacuation ordered for the West End which starts about 5 feet from our house. Voluntary evacuation for the rest of the Island. The mayor said there just wasn't time to order a mandatory evacuation for the rest of the Island.

They're boarding up our house right now (driving the dog insane). I'm heading out tomorrow morning after my dad comes to move our stuff--he's getting here about 8 am to help me take things b/c he has an SUV. Wacoso will head out after the store is secured. They're boarding it up tomorrow morning. I have faith that God is bigger than any hurricane, but I'll admit it, it's a little stressful right now.

sigh.

Well, you might be able to take care of that "virgin" thing down in collieville. At least if your not too picky. Just sayin...

[FIJIFan]

BC, Wacoso, BBL, Bigshot's parentals, and all others in the gulf area will remain in our prayers.

If anyone ends up in Dallas let me know...we can have a "hurricane" party! (it would be better at Pat O'Brian's in San Antonio, but since I am not there...)

we're going to have a Hurricane party, but since we can't afford all the liquor that goes into a real hurricane, we're getting the 40 oz Hurricane beers.

[BaylorBabe]

Gosh, sorry BC, I can imagine that must be hard. :(

1) Sold the element :(
2) We bought an '05 Pathfinder at Manheim auction (can you say DEAL!) :)
3) Mrs. is in Italy helping bro and sis-in-law as they prepare for baby 3
4) Single dad for 10 days - PRAY!

God bless you guys. Are you coming here or staying down in Katy? Either way take care and know that we are all here if you need us.

I can't imagine how nerve-racking it must be. You, and your family are in my prayers.

Thanks, Chip. I have to admit, this morning's been a little depressing. More so than I would have thought.

But I am going to get Chinese with my dad and The Pooky in 30 min.

The wait would bother me. I would just want to hurry up and get it over with.

Good afternoon Wolverines. I will be praying for everyone's family who is being evacuated during the hurricane. Hope everyone is having a good day.

Ditto Greggors.

Take them to Bass Pro and have them tire themselves out running around the store looking at cool stuff. Another good option is taking them upto Cabelas and wearing themselves out climbing on the mountain.



you're welcome.



I'm here if you need more child raising advice.

[BearChick]

God bless you guys. Are you coming here or staying down in Katy? Either way take care and know that we are all here if you need us.

I'm going to Katy with the Pooky. Wacoso is headed to Waco to hopefully watch the game (and that storm surge on the Brazos that many Wacoans seem to be worried about). If it looks bad for Houston, I'll leave with my parents, but I want to limit Pooky's travel and stress and unfamiliarity as much as possible.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers, friends.

You know we are here for you if needed. W is welcome here even though ya'll have family around. Just saying.

busy busy day at work....and a busy next few days as a matter of fact. How it goes I suppose.

How've you been? You watching AGT??

Pretty sure they have a mandatory evacuation for Bacliff issued today.

[LIQRinPU]

Two bedrooms and plenty of chores to keep the kids busy. Homemade tortillas on Friday morning. I have to work but Ms. Redneck is off. You can even help work calves Sat morning.

[HappyRebel]

Good night Wolverines...I hope everyone stays safe...

[Bigshot628]

this... is an excellent idea

[Greggor25]

How's everyone doing tonight? Hope everyone makes safe journeys wherever they decide to go. 1 more day till vacation.

Goodnight folks

[wantsBU2win]

I'll be happy to babysit. Kids love me!

[golsalax]

Good night, y'all.

Have a blessed evening and hope y'all will sleep well.

[BearChick]

I hope that you guys get to stay home for obvious reasons. I'm really worried about the storm surge reports for you guys. :(

Nope. I'm no fool. I am not staying here.


Back to packing. Good night, friends.

Where in Italy is Mrs. TS? I lived there for 3 1/2 years.

Single dad? You bet you have my prayers.

[Texas Golfer]

Stay safe, our islander family. Prayers continue for your safety.

[DONNIE D]

Good morning everyone.

It's a great day to be a Wolverine.

[HappyRebel]

Good Morning Wolverines...I hope everyone has a great day....

[SoTex]

Good Morning, Vines. Is Katy the best place to evacuate to? Just asking for the sake of BC.

Re: sadness and Element. We really liked our Element, but there are some things that make it great for a couple or single person, but not so great for families. Only seats 4 and suicide doors. Inconvenient. Once our daughters were in the E, the loved it...reclining back seats, spill proof interior, and a lot of fun. Oh well.

Now we're waiting on the Pathfinder to get delivered from Dallas. It's an Off Road edition w/premium pkg (tougher suspension parts but has leather and sunroof). It's also green, canteen green. Cool color.

Be safe everyone!

[wantsBU2win]

good morning 'Vines! :)

Prayers for those in the way of Ike this morning. W, BC, Pooky, I hope you all are to higher ground soon.

[BearChick]

Well, that is where my parents are, and that's wherewe're going for now. If we have to evacuate further, we will, and I'm sure we'll decide that sometime today. It could be rough going in Katy, too, I know, but that may be better than being in a car for 10 hours with a very angry infant, a la Rita evacuations.

My dad's going to be here in just a bit, and we're going to get everything together. May not be on much today. Thanks for the love and support, guys.

[golsalax]

Like my dad said in his email to me this morning, "We are in for a bumpy ride." My dad lives near Bissonnet (sp?) next to 59 (northwestern part), and he told me that he will stay put in his house.

Good morning, Wolverines.

Have a great day. Prayers to everyone.

Have a great day. Prayers to everyone.Morning Gofersex, thoughts are with your family too.

[Bexar Fan]

Good Morning all!!

Prayers for all those in Ike's path. I pray the end of today finds all of you calm, temporarily settled, and safe.

[DONNIE D]

Morning Bexar

[Bexar Fan]

Hey Donnie!! How're things on the right coast?

[DONNIE D]

Hey Donnie!! How're things on the right coast?
Cloudy, yucky. Not raining at the moment, but could at any moment. Good day to be inside.

[Bexar Fan]

Off to staff meeting....blech!

[DONNIE D]

I would call a staff meeting, just not sure who to call. :) Maybe my neighbor, but he'll want beer at the meeting.

[FIJIFan]

Morning everyone! I hope everyone travels safely the next couple days!

[ChipOC]

You trained that sheep well. I went to grab a beer then I had to leave the place after catching a glimpse of you two on the couch.
Was there peanut butter involved?

Some catching up so bear with me Vines.
1) Sold the element :(
2) We bought an '05 Pathfinder at Manheim auction (can you say DEAL!) :)
3) Mrs. is in Italy helping bro and sis-in-law as they prepare for baby 3
4) Single dad for 10 days - PRAY!
Dude, set up some play dates. Good luck!
I'll be happy to babysit. Kids love me!
Are you going to become a priest?
Well, that is where my parents are, and that's wherewe're going for now. If we have to evacuate further, we will, and I'm sure we'll decide that sometime today. It could be rough going in Katy, too, I know, but that may be better than being in a car for 10 hours with a very angry infant, a la Rita evacuations.

My dad's going to be here in just a bit, and we're going to get everything together. May not be on much today. Thanks for the love and support, guys.
BC, we are 4 hours away. You are more than welcome. We have an open bedroom if anybody needs it.

[BearChick]

Thank you, Chip. Appreciate it. You never know, you may hear from us. :)

Guys, I'm leaving now. This is really hard, I'm not going to lie. I may be out of pocket over the next few days, but we'll update you when we can. There will likely be no power even in Katy on Saturday and maybe beyond. Thanks again for your friendship, your love, your prayers and your support. They mean so much.

Pray for Pooky and I as we drive to Katy that we can get out of here with out too much trouble on the roads. At some point, the baby will not be happy with driving if it takes too long.

Love y'all.

XP from the Ike thread:

Mandatory evacuation was just issued for Galveston 15 minutes ago. They are predicting widespread problems and devastation of infrastructure. The west end is already flooding. We are leaving in about 10 minutes, and Wacoso will leave as soon as the store is secure (not that it may matter much in the end.) Praise God, though, everything we wanted to take fit into my dad's SUV--with the exception of the baby's swing and one box, which will fit in Wacoso's truck along with suitcases of clothes.

Also, pray for our next door neighbor. Her grandmother died 2 days ago and her mother is just having a difficult time already and now this, and she is having a hard time leaving.

[wantsBU2win]

prayers for you BC.....please drive safely :)

[DONNIE D]

Good luck BC.

[HappyRebel]

Stay safe BC...Wacoso...Pooky...

[Bigshot628]

Well, I got some Houston friends coming over to Waco now... looks like I need to go stock up on beer.

All yall be safe

[BaylorBabe]

OK, so FIJI and I booked a room the night after the Aggy game in November. Hope we can do George's or something! :) I guess it depends on what time that game is - I bet it's a night game.

Technically we booked a room for the night OF the aggie game...but who really cares about semantics!

A cooler, couple of bottles, ice, and a Room Party will be in order

Fine by me...Comfort Inn on 35 and Beherns Circle. I will post the room number when we check in. :thumbup:

Please make sure that, if you want to attend, that you bring $50 per person to cover the damages to the room when we check out the next day. Thanks in advance! :laugh:

[Friscobear]

Should we change the name of this thread to "Hurricane Announcements 1.1"?

:)

[DONNIE D]

Brings back some good memories of the last Galveston trip I took.

I pulled in the Hotel, TG was already there, he didn't say Hi, KMA, or nothing. Just, where's the cooler. :)
Myself, TG, Wacoso, BBL, & Trader would have never left the room if BC wouldn't have called with Supper. BaylorBabe's cookies didn't make it very long that afternoon.

If $50 is all it cost to fix up after this crew, we were not there very long. :)

Hurricane Wolverine Warning...

[Bexar Fan]

$50 dollars each ought to cover the downpayment on any damage. Our collective bail money and the remainder of the destruction should all just be billed to your credit card. Right?

[DONNIE D]

[DONNIE D]

I'm laughing at myself thinking about Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies and Cold Lone Star. One of them said, "at least you're prepared". :)

[Greggor25]

Good Afternoon Wolverines. Hope everyone is having a good day. Hope everyone remains safe traveling due to hurricane. My Houston plant is shut down for 3 days. Hope everyone is doing good. :)

[BaylorBabe]

The only bad thing about it being a night game is George's will be about closed afterwards - we'll just have to get an early start, I know Bigshot and Solan are fans of that anyway :lol:

[DONNIE D]

Listen up for Brad Paisley & Keith Urban's new single. Nice I tell ya.

"Let's Start A Band" Came out today. Album out in Nov.

[HappyRebel]

I am sure they won't have an problem about starting early...or staying late...:laugh:

[Texas Golfer]

Good morning everyone.

It's a great day to be a Wolverine.

That it is, my friend.

[golsalax]

Good afternoon, 'Vines.

Just had a quick look at CNN on TV in the lobby outside of my office. The norhtbound traffic on I-45 is being clogged up right now. Does that mean the southbound traffic on 290 would be converted to the northbound traffic? Hopefully, this time, the traffic would be better than the last time.

[Texas Golfer]

Now we're waiting on the Pathfinder to get delivered from Dallas. It's an Off Road edition w/premium pkg (tougher suspension parts but has leather and sunroof). It's also green, canteen green. Cool color.

If it's not Baylor green, it's the wrong green.

Did I just say that?

[FIJIFan]

$ Our collective bail money and the remainder of the destruction should all just be billed to your credit card. Right?

Well, due to my past indescretions my credit card company will no longer allow a charge like that to go thru. I am sure someone can step up though...especially if they have a card that will give miles for it! :w00t:

[Texas Golfer]

Like my dad said in his email to me this morning, "We are in for a bumpy ride." My dad lives near Bissonnet (sp?) next to 59 (northwestern part), and he told me that he will stay put in his house.

I will pray for your family along with the prayers for our islander family.

[Texas Golfer]

I call a "staff" meeting almost every night. He always rises to the occasion.

When they book you into the Waco city jail, just tell them to take the bail money out of my account.

If it's not Baylor green, it's the wrong green.

Did I just say that?
Yes......and now you can't delete it. HA! :D

DD, I wanted to post a link from Yahoo! Pictures to show this sign (you already mentioned that earlier today)- which has a black background with white letterings announcing "Take a hike, Ike". However, that link is so long, and I was not sure which links to use. That picture was taken in Port Aransas.

an old pickup truck
means you're down on your luck anymore
and boots and straw hat
are just a thing of the past anymore
and ever since waylon i cant find no one
to buy into sad country songs
and tell me whos gonna ride us away
when the last cowboy is gone

is there a place i can find
any three quarter time anymore
is there a dirty jukebox
that spins on a dime anymore
they changed all the words
and the cowgirls they all sing along
but tell me whos gonna ride them away
when the last cowboy is gone


if john wayne gene and roy
are now just some cowboys
that yesterday stampeded on
and tell me whos gonna ride us away
whos gonna do it that way
does everything good have to change
til the last cowboy is gone

Oh, I figured it was ordered by the judge in loo of jail time.We use to fight a lot around Waco. Jail time today is not what is was back then. As long as we got out before the Books opened at the next Bull Ridin, we didn't care. Not proud of it, but we got to eat in jail. :) Not something kids want these days.

Down in Mississippi
It's a perfect time of year
To break out the jumper cables
And try to crank this ol' John Deere
I can't wait to fire it up
And put er' into gear
I know I should be hurtin'
But I'm smiling ear to ear

Cuz I'm mowin down the roses
I'm mowin down the roses
I'm mowin down the roses
That you planted in our yard

I poured out your purty perfume
Straight down the toilet bowl
And I ripped your face straight off the wall
Left nothing but some holes
I loaded up your closets
Into fifteen garbage bags
And I smoked with your potpourri
On a burn pile in the back

Down in Mississippi
Its getting perfectly clear
That anything you used to love
Just aint gonna grow round here

I’m mowing down the roses
That you planted in our yard

[HillCountryBEAR]

God really does provide. As everyone knows, Tuesday and Wednesday nights are tough nights to bare around HCB's Hermitage because of the lack of football. Well,.....God was looking out for me because Tuesday night on AMC there was THE MAGNIFICIENT SEVEN showing and last night on AMC was MR SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON!!
I made it through the two days of darkness fine (except maybe alittle pudgier) and now I'm ready for some FOOTBALL!!!


fyi,....I know I'm stating the obvious, but James Stewart in Mr. Smith gives one of the greatest acting performances of all time! (and it's not even a western!) Claude Rains was terribly underappreciated in Mr Smith. His role as the police chief in Casablanca was epic aswell.

[ChipOC]

Today's scientific question is: What in the world is electricity and
where does it go after it leaves the toaster?

Here is a simple experiment that will teach you an important
electrical lesson: On a cool dry day, scuff your feet along a carpet,
then reach your hand into a friend's mouth and touch one of his dental
fillings. Did you notice how your friend twitched violently and cried
out in pain? This teaches one that electricity can be a very powerful
force, but we must never use it to hurt others unless we need to learn
an important lesson about electricity.

It also illustrates how an electrical circuit works. When you scuffed
your feet, you picked up batches of "electrons", which are very small
objects that carpet manufacturers weave into carpet so that they will
attract dirt. The electrons travel through your bloodstream and
collect in your finger, where they form a spark that leaps to your
friend's filling, then travel down to his feet and back into the
carpet, thus completing the circuit.

AMAZING ELECTRONIC FACT: If you scuffed your feet long enough without
touching anything, you would build up so many electrons that your
finger would explode! But this is nothing to worry about unless you
have carpeting.

Although we modern persons tend to take our electric lights, radios,
mixers, etc. for granted, hundreds of years ago people did not have
any of these things, which is just as well because there was no place
to plug them in. Then along came the first Electrical Pioneer,
Benjamin Franklin, who flew a kite in a lightning storm and received a
serious electrical shock. This proved that lightning was powered by
the same force as carpets, but it also damaged Franklin's brain so
severely that he started speaking only in incomprehensible maxims,
such as, "A penny saved is a penny earned." Eventually he had to be
given a job running the post office.

After Franklin came a herd of Electrical Pioneers whose names have
become part of our electrical terminology: Myron Volt, Mary Louise
Amp, James Watt, Bob Transformer, etc. These pioneers conducted many
important electrical experiments. Among them, Galvani discovered
(this is the truth) that when he attached two different kinds of metal
to the leg of a frog, an electrical current developed and the frog's
leg kicked, even though it was no longer attached to the frog, which
was dead anyway. Galvani's discovery led to enormous advances in the
field of amphibian medicine. Today, skilled veterinary surgeons can
take a frog that has been seriously injured or killed, implant pieces
of metal in its muscles, and watch it hop back into the pond --
almost.

But the greatest Electrical Pioneer of them all was Thomas Edison, who
was a brilliant inventor despite the fact that he had little formal
education and lived in New Jersey. Edison's first major invention in
1877 was the phonograph, which could soon be found in thousands of
American homes, where it basically sat until 1923, when the record was
invented. But Edison's greatest achievement came in 1879 when he
invented the electric company. Edison's design was a brilliant
adaptation of the simple electrical circuit: the electric company
sends electricity through a wire to a customer, then immediately gets
the electricity back through another wire, then (this is the brilliant
part) sends it right back to the customer again.

This means that an electric company can sell a customer the same batch
of electricity thousands of times a day and never get caught, since
very few customers take the time to examine their electricity closely.
In fact, the last year any new electricity was generated was 1937.

Today, thanks to men like Edison and Franklin, and frogs like
Galvani's, we receive almost unlimited benefits from electricity. For
example, in the past decade scientists have developed the laser, an
electronic appliance so powerful that it can vaporize a bulldozer 2000
yards away, yet so precise that doctors can use it to perform delicate
operations to the human eyeball, provided they remember to change the
power setting from "Bulldozer" to "Eyeball."

[DONNIE D]

Goin’ through my closet the other day
I found an old yearbook
Flipped right to the page of that senior trip
Down there on that Panama strip
We all started yellin’ when we smelled the beach
Couldn't wait to try our fake I.D.’s
We only had a few days
And a whole lot of memories to make

Oh man we were livin’
Didn't waste one minute
We talked and drank and danced and said goodbye
We laughed until we cried

This past year my family
Was sittin’ cross-legged 'round the Christmas tree
Listenin’ to granddad
We all knew it probably be his last
He was crackin’ jokes and we were takin’ turns
Tellin’ stories ‘bout fishin’ or lessons learned
Out on the porch with him
We all felt like kids again

Oh man we were livin
Sittin' there reminiscin'
We sang and talked and traveled back in time
We laughed until we cried

It's like the best days under the sun
Every emotion rolled into one
A little of this a little of that
Kinda happy kinda sad

Just the other night the baby was cryin’
So I got out of bed rocked her awhile
And I held her tight
And I told her it would be all right
And my mind went back to a few years ago
When we tried so long
We almost gave up hope
And I remember you
Comin' in and tellin’ me the news

Oh man we were livin’
Goin’ crazy in the kitchen
We danced and screamed and held each other tight
We laughed until we cried

[HillCountryBEAR]

See there, I catch Glen Beck @ 5am.


why it's still dark then?



Day before yesterday a friend's wife was telling me about running at 5 30 in the morning. I must have had a weird look on my face, but seriously why would anyone run at that time, much less be up! The sun and I greet each other every day between 9 and 11 and it works just fine for the both of us.

In all seriousness I've always been kinda partial to Clemson. The scenic entourage that came to the regional baseball game several years ago was very impressive. Add those to their excellent ag program and you have a winner. If I had lived in the southeast and wasn't recruited by duke to play basketball, I would have gone to clemson most likely.


Don't hate me!

[BearChick]

Wacoso and BBL are meeting for dinner at Freebirds in CS. BBL is there for work stuff, as you can imagine, there's planning to do for TAMUG.

The forecast has shifted and the storm is now projected to go in 14 miles from our house, at San Luis Pass. It's the worst case scenario for Houston, as it will go straight up the ship channel. Fill up your gas tanks, as the refineries here will sustain massive damage.

As for Wacoso and me, we just talked on the phone and realized we have to come to terms with the fact that we are going to lose everything in 24 hours, most likely. In my head, I was prepared for a few feet of water and losing some things. We are likely going to lose everything at our home and certainly our business.

Gosh honey, I'm sorry. :( If things get rough in Katy you can evacuate to Dallas if you need to. Hang in there, we'll be thinking about you.

[BaylorPhillie]

Does anyone have Yahoo Instant Messaging?

Yup.

not sure if my family is bailing out of Corpus or not. My dad is usually pretty stubborn about things like that. I'll make a call and check a little later this afternoon.

made the call to my parents, my dad said he'd stay if stayed a category 2, he'll pack up and leave for a 3. He's boarding up our house as we speak. They'll probably head down to Hebronville.

Made the call to my mom and sis this evening as well. They are staying at home near Corpus since the storm is heading north,and just apparently heard from my brother in Houston who said that the news said that they should stay put. Mom and sis BEGGED them to get the heck out of dodge, but apparently they are buying supplies and hunkering down. Please keep them in your prayers too.

If it's not Baylor green, it's the wrong green.

Did I just say that?

Yup, you did.

[SoTex]

Wow! Best of luck to BC and Wacoso. Tons of prayers coming your way. If I can help, call me!

[Chief'sbear]

Definitely need to pray for our coastal brethren. Looks like its coming right into Galvey.

BC- we love y'all and no matter what happens, we as your friends have your back. I can't imagine the emotions right now and my heart is breaking for you guys but we are all here for you. Whatever you need we will band together to help.

[BaylorPhillie]

Talked to my brother just now... asked him where he was... he said (in his ever so funny sense of humor) that he got this amazing deal on surfboards and wetsuits and were heading to Gtown because there was no traffic going in. In reality, they were running around where they could and getting supplies.

I told my brother tonight that if they have to leave and can't go south to where my mom is, they should go up north and I have friends in Waco who can help.

Please be one of those friends if needed. :)

If he needs to come to Dallas tell him to give me a ring :)

I have family in Waco, if your family needs some help, PM me.

[Limnos]

I just spoke to BBL and Wacoso and they are both in good spirits and will be fine. I think that BC is very upset (understandable) and I can't get a call to get through to her because the cell tower said it was overloaded. I imagine there are tons of calls going in and out of Houston right now. The main thing is that everyone is safe. Praise God! All of the stuff can be replaced, but our friends are priceless.

Please continue to lift up our friends and also those along the coastal areas whose story will be similar. W and BBL should be at the game tomorrow. :) Thanks for your prayers everyone. The members of this site and the alumni and current Baylor folks are a blessing that could never be matched. You are all as good as (green and) gold!

[HillCountryBEAR]

prayers for all those affected.

BP- done. Just let me know.

[wantsBU2win]

Wacoso and BBL are meeting for dinner at Freebirds in CS. BBL is there for work stuff, as you can imagine, there's planning to do for TAMUG.

The forecast has shifted and the storm is now projected to go in 14 miles from our house, at San Luis Pass. It's the worst case scenario for Houston, as it will go straight up the ship channel. Fill up your gas tanks, as the refineries here will sustain massive damage.

As for Wacoso and me, we just talked on the phone and realized we have to come to terms with the fact that we are going to lose everything in 24 hours, most likely. In my head, I was prepared for a few feet of water and losing some things. We are likely going to lose everything at our home and certainly our business.

(trying not to cry)

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers friends.

OH BC!! I can't imagine what you are going through. I am certainly praying for y'all. We love y'all. Please, if you can, keep us updated.

[Robby44]

Praying for BC, Wacoso and all the Gulf Coast folks.

[BaylorPhillie]

Thanks guys. :) I made my brother promise that he would call me. Hopefully he will.

[HappyRebel]

Wow, the emotions in this room...I hope everything and everyone are ok....looks like there is a great outpouring of love from your Wolverine family...I am so proud. It is great to see how everyone cares for one another around here...BC and everyone who has family members going through this..my thoughts are with you...

:thumbup: Thanks for the update on our brothers and sister, Limnos. Prayers continue.

[Bexar Fan]

Prayers for all of our friends and families on the coast continue without ceasing.

If there is anything that we can do please let us help.

[Limnos]

TG/Bexar- are y'all coming up tomorrow?

[HappyRebel]

so what exactly is the plan for tomorrow night?

[Texas Golfer]

TG/Bexar- are y'all coming up tomorrow?

I'm not sure yet. What are the plans before and after the game?

[HappyRebel]

Wow, I was wondering the same thing....

[Limnos]

I'm not sure yet. What are the plans before and after the game?

I do not know sir. I will likely be working early up to kickoff, but I would hang around afterwards with you guys.

[Bexar Fan]

I'm not sure either. My brother will be arriving in Belton by car sometime tomorrow late afternoon. We will make our decision tomorrow based on what he and his wife want to do then.

[BearChick]

On top of it all, it looks like Pooky's tooth is going to debut soon.

[Greggor25]

Good evening everyone. Made it safely to Waco tonight. Prayers go out for all the families and Wolverines who are suffering from hurricane. Please let me know if I can do anything for anybody.

[HappyRebel]

On top of it all, it looks like Pooky's tooth is going to debut soon.

That Pooky...just thinks of more ways to impress us....you go Pooky...:thumbup:

[HappyRebel]

Hi Greggor...I am glad you made it too Waco....it is always great to see you...

ok...read your posts...can't exactly see you..lol....

[HappyRebel]

Well Wolverines...bed time..430 comes too early....I hope everyone stays safe...

[wantsBU2win]

well, I had already made date plans with wants' girl, and she didn't want to change them to go to the game. I'm beginning to think she doesn't like football as much as she said she did.

So I'm sorry I wont' be able to join anyone after the game. Y'all have fun!

[BaylorPhillie]

Grover (or BP, I guess, but it's hard to stop calling you Grover!)


Old habits (and names) die hard. :)

Yay!

you can buy me some beer

[Greggor25]

Yeah dude you owe me by the way.

[Bigshot628]

Yeah dude you owe me by the way.

[golsalax]

Good night, y'all.

Enjoy the rest of this fine evening. :D

Will keep praying for our brothers and sisters wherever they are in Texas.

[nein51]

Anyone want to buy cookie dough to support my 4yr old nephew? It's Otis Spunkmeyer dough, I think it is ready bake.

There, I have done my part, well that and buying $105 dollars worth (no, I am not actually taking delivery of any but my relatives are).

[BaylorPhillie]

If you are buying cookies, the future stepchildren of BP are also selling stuff, but more "green" things...

[BaylorPhillie]

Hey! I have three rep power points now!!! SWEET!!!

[nein51]

If you are buying cookies, the future stepchildren of BP are also selling stuff, but more "green" things...
Well, let's see.

I flew to Dallas, got to my parents house...and I was down $100 the minute I walked in the door. Then my dad said his car needed work and that he was on the disaster relief team so he is on call and could I fix it tonight...so I was down another chunk PLUS 2 hours in time. I am tapped out this fine evening, BP. When the girl gets to girl scouts, I am always down for cookies, however. Unless the cookies are like gas and continue their meteoric rise in price.

Fine, you win. Although the girl isn't in girl scouts. She would much rather be a cheerleader than be prepared. :)

[DONNIE D]

Morning.

This is going to be a somber day. Just waiting, watching, crying. Hope my brothers place in Lake Jackson makes it. So many memories.At least he's safe.

[LIQRinPU]

[DONNIE D]

I'm not sure either. My brother will be arriving in Belton by car sometime tomorrow late afternoon. We will make our decision tomorrow based on what he and his wife want to do then.I'm thinking your back porch, with some hunk of meat is in order. :)

[DONNIE D]

The rain model this morning shows I-35 dry as a bone. You guys in Waco might not get a drop.

[DONNIE D]

BC, please go to Chips. It's nothing but a drive for you and the baby. I don't like this Katy thing.

And I'm liking it less by the minute.

[HappyRebel]

Good Morning Wolverines...I hope everyone has a great day....I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow...

[DONNIE D]

They are saying 1/2 the windows in downtown Houston will blow out.

[DONNIE D]

Morning Bexar

[Grace Anne]

Morning, folks. If anyone has an extra ticket for the game, I have a house guest from Houston I would like to bring. I think I will be home at lunch to meet her at the house and will check the board then to see if any tickets are available.

Is there a tailgate tonight? If so, we'll bring her. She's a first year teacher in Houston ISD. Vol will be acting as her chaperone and protector. Maybe he should have taken notes from Chiefsbear last week, since we didn't raise girls. :)

[atxtraveler]

Women should come before football.

I agree... but as soon it happens, get in your car and get to the game.

[DONNIE D]

Tell Vol just to grit his teeth everytime one of them walk by. Little growling noise doesn't hurt either.

[Grace Anne]

:mad: He should make faces like this, Donnie?

[DONNIE D]

:mad: He should make faces like this, Donnie?Yes. It's not the young ones he needs to worry about. They are more bark than bite. The over 40 crowd will sneek in from the side while he's not looking.

Well, since Wants' girl is anti-football, I may be in support of him sitting next to this girl.

[wantsBU2win]

This is sad.

Yeah....she did say when it gets cooler she will go to some of the games. But she's willing to go to NASCAR races, and we all know how cool and comfy those games are :001_rolleyes:

You made the right choice Wants. Women should come before football.

I know, I know. :)

Well, since Wants' girl is anti-football, I may be in support of him sitting next to this girl.

HAHA, yeah I don't think the girl would appreciate me sitting next to another available girl. Of course, she she doesn't talk, she wouldn't tell me.

[DONNIE D]

Wants, are you telling us she is quite? If so, you might want to go ahead and get rid of her. Quite never cuts it in this group. :)

Or, go ahead and start her on baby shots of Tequila.

[LIQRinPU]

Wants, there are lots of fish in the sea and g/f 's are usually easier to find than get rid of. On the other hand, there are only 5 or 6 Baylor home games a year. Would be an easy decision for me.

[DONNIE D]

All the WebCams in G-Town just went off.

This is the only one left.

Hmm, well, quiet is an understatement. If she says more than one complete sentence, that's impressive.

And she doesn't drink.

[FIJIFan]

Morning all!

If anyone hears anything at all today from our friends from the coast please let us know.

Donnie...just tried that link and I think it is down as well.

Holy cow. This is from CNN right now. This is the highest point on Seawall. Our next door neighbor's father sculpted this statue, a memorial to the storm survivors of 1900, and they are the models in the statue. The waves are already taller than the statue on the highest point on Seawall (this is about 44th street or so).

[FIJIFan]

Wow BC...I cant imagine what that is like for you since you know the area so well.

Have you and your family decided on if you are staying in Katy or not?

[LIQRinPU]

Hmm, well, quiet is an understatement. If she says more than one complete sentence, that's impressive.

And she doesn't drink.


Dont teach her to drink. Nothing worse than a woman drinking all your good liquor. You will save money and always have a ride home. I always hoped to find a woman that didnt speak English so I wouldnt have to come home and talk about my day. Gloria pretended to only speak Spanish till it was too late and we were married.

[Chief'sbear]

On top of it all, it looks like Pooky's tooth is going to debut soon.

Not sure if they still make these or not, because my "baby" is 12 now. But we used these little gel teething rings that we put in the freezer and let the baby chew on. The cool would sooth their mouth when teething. They LOVED those things. Had 3 that we kept in heavy rotation.

[BearChick]

Wow BC...I cant imagine what that is like for you since you know the area so well.

Have you and your family decided on if you are staying in Katy or not?

We're staying here. Only 60-70 mph winds predicted for katy and about 4 in. of rain. We'll be fine. Probably won't have electricity, but we'll be fine here. And we'll be closer and ready to go on the Island as soon as they will let us back, but as of now, there's no indication when that will be.

I was just thinking about that on the way in to work. I'm really sorry BC.
On top of it all, it looks like Pooky's tooth is going to debut soon.
Sweet! With the storm comes a rainbow. Perhaps she'll sleep well again now.
well, I had already made date plans with wants' girl, and she didn't want to change them to go to the game. I'm beginning to think she doesn't like football as much as she said she did.

So I'm sorry I wont' be able to join anyone after the game. Y'all have fun!
(Shaking head) Dad gum. If I could be in Waco and see us beat those suckers. I went to the Alamo Bowl when they beat us and have a hatred for them.
BC, please go to Chips. It's nothing but a drive for you and the baby. I don't like this Katy thing.

And I'm liking it less by the minute.
Please do BC. Brady needs to meet his future girl friend. Seriously, if anybody needs a place, we have a room.

It sounds like she didn't get her MRS degree. Perhaps Vol should be introducing her to some folks instead of scaring them off. HCB are you going? He's an unemployed hermit, but at least he knows how to hunt and fish.
Not sure if they still make these or not, because my "baby" is 12 now. But we used these little gel teething rings that we put in the freezer and let the baby chew on. The cool would sooth their mouth when teething. They LOVED those things. Had 3 that we kept in heavy rotation.
You can also soak a wet rag in some orajel and put it in the freezer so it is both cool on their teeth and has some medicine.

We used to boil cloves and rub it on the baby's gums...

[DONNIE D]

Well BC, sounds like you've decided. Hope all is well.

[DONNIE D]

I'd rather share my good liquor with a woman, than spend my life .....................nevermind.

[LIQRinPU]

Yeah, he is very amusing today...I think I need to have a talk with him..

Sorry. I will behave now.
