Jerry Vessels had a stroke on his right side Thursday, 10-4th.  He is regaining some movement but still cannot talk. He is saying “YEH” a lot and continues smiling with the Jerry smile that we all know and love. He is being moved today to UT Southwestern University Hospital – Zale Lipshey on Harry Hines. Pat and the family remain very confident and positive. For now, cards would nice to receive. He loves his cards from his SOC friends. When I know the room number I will post.  This is serious so please continue to pray for a MIRACLE that he regains full capacity of his right side. Remember with God in control all things are possible we just need to pray collectively!

In spite of the "Horns" it was a good football weekend.  The Carroll Dragons, the Red Raiders and the Horned Frogs all won.  Happiness in the Gibbs household.

Ah, Lynell, if only I did have some pull with the Boys.  I would have pulled Romo's butt off that field and sat him and Jason Garrett on the bench for a little refresher course in clock management.  Geez, these two can make a grown woman insane!  The neon gloves sounds like a good idea also.  After watching the Longhorns get the snot kicked out of them on Saturday, I was just not in the mood for stupidity.

Sharon, please use your pull with the Cowboys to suggest our receivers get Day-Glo gloves like other teams wear. I guess they're called receivers. They're the guys who catch the football. I don't know if it would have helped today, but it seems like fluorescent orange or whatever would be easier for the throwers to spot in a sea of hands. You know how much I know about football but this just seems like common sense.

I have a good one. Remember I have never been downtown for Texas and OU rally. My fiance was going to take me, which he did, but he forgot to put gas in the car so we only went 1 block and had to turn around and go home. To this day I've been to a UT/OU rally.

I went to Cattleman's for dinner with a nice young man named Larry something-or-other when I was about 20. The restaurant was hopping, and neither of us had ever been to such a fancy place.  He inadvertently tucked the tablecloth into his waist, and when he stood up you could hear the dishes clattering all the way to the Cotton Bowl. The fellow was mortified, but the dinner was one I'll never forget. We headed for the car and quickly got out of downtown!  That was my only Texas-OU night experience down there.

I went down there in high school....never had been to a frat party. But, I'm sure it was mild compared to today. Just a bunch of kids. I remember the traffic jam downtown and creeping along the street. It was fun people watching. Does anyone know if it happens today?

Never went down there, during the Texas-OU Game. People have been getting hurt in that 'drunken mess' since the 60's that I know of.. Had no curiosity about that event. Attended enough Fraternity parties..etc. and Aggie Parties...back then to know what a drunken brawl was.. I always thought it was amazing that very sophisticated people, could come to a party looking 'great' and then end up under a table drunk and sick..?? It's beyond me how that could be fun..?? Just didn't do that scene or smoke, drink excessively or do drugs.. I sure didn't want my head bashed in, in downtown Dallas..

Remember TX OU weekend before the game when we were kids??? Downtown Dallas was a drunk fest.......but even tho I didn't partake of the booze I went down there with dates to drive or walk around etc. My mother & father would have croaked had they known.

The good news is that when the Sooners win Texas-OU, they hang around and spend money in Dallas. 

Do I need to say we are staying in tonight?

It looks like it's wherever TI had Sensors and Controls...plants.. The picture on FB and the article show a building in Freeport..?? The comment on the article suggests our President and all the rest of Washington...do something about it. They built a new plant in Massachusetts...Sensata.. Several articles led me to the ownership of it by Bain Industries... Life is interesting.. You could research all day on the internet.. I don't have that kind of time, but it is fascinating..

Everybody's Mission, if you choose to accept it....Is to get on the internet and find out more facts.. (I really doubt that the ones in N. Texas have  that name on it or...the Republic of China) this message will not 'explode' or maybe it will..????

Texas Instruments 'had' a division called Sensors and Controls.. Bain bought it.. Hmmm.. now who owns or owned Bain..?? Now it's Sensata which flies the Flag of the Republic of China..

Don't you just love the internet...! You can find 'fascinating' things out there..

Ginger, Are you saying the Chinese are flying their flag in front of Texas Instruments in Dallas, Texas?  I used to work the nightshift at T.I. in Austin when Bill was in graduate school.   When I worked there T.I. was an extremely patriotic place and we built equipment to go on planes and ships for the military.   I have never understood why we borrowed money from the Chinese  (just to fight with them).  I guess we borrowed the money so we can  buy their cheaply made products from Walmart.  It looks as if Bush gave the "job creators" tax breaks at the expense of having to borrow money from the Chinese.

Google Sensata... They're all over the US... There's a Texas Instruments that is now 'renamed' Sensata.. In front of one of their plants, they're flying the Flag of the Republic of China... There's a thing on FB about it...  Hmmm, very interesting.....

1. The Chinese are in the Texas business world, most likely.. State Fair of Texas has always had International booths, so maybe they broadened it..? The Memphis Zoo has a big elaborate Chinese section/ exhibit, etc, with Pandas and other things. It's what the Chinese do, now. The country trades with them and 'borrows' from them...so much..that probably has a lot to do with it.
2. Since 'high rolling' business men..everywhere, make deals, it also may be something involving 'trade-offs' or 'I'll scratch you back if you'll scratch mine.'.. It's the way they do things...in politics, in business.. The Japanese do the same thing..

I agree Buy American.  We have to support our own businesses.  I am sick of reading how American workers are being forced to train Chinese workers on how to do their jobs.  American workers make the best products compared to cheaply made foreign products.  We recently bought an American made car and we like it so much more than our Honda Accord Hybrid.  It is just much more convenient to drive.

No, I am referring to China being injected in the TEXAS state fair..It is not an international fair..I'm not sure it is a good sign, even tho I am sure it is beautiful. Lanterns are beautiful. 

BUT, A better light show would have been Chihuli Lights...a beautiful American Glass Artist's work could have been lighted up!  BUY AMERICAN!!!

Went to the State Fair of Texas with my girlfriend Debra and a good time as usual. Run into BJ Fields and Theresa Mayfield, was so good to see and talk to them. If you are going to the fair go see the Chinese Lantern Festival, especially at night, it is worth the 28 coupons. JUST BEAUTIFUL. Is my legs sore, do not think I can do all day any more. Doing 4-1/2 hours is long enough. I don't see how Debra and I did all day last year and the years before.

Thanks Barry for the information.  Wounded Warriors seem to be doing an outstanding job helping returning soldiers.  I read how returning  soldiers react to the kindness of grateful citizens.  It reminds me of the line from "Streetcar Named Desire" where Blanche comments that she has always relied on the kindness of strangers.

Barry, this activity and other activites..needs to be ongoing for years. As Charlotte said, 'too bad it wasn't done for the Viet Nam Vets'.. Now we just need to stay out of wars..!
   There were things going on in Tennessee. The PGR's are very active in the Southeast, also. I receive 'daily notices' of those PGR's and the funerals they are escorting.. It's a good thing.. BJ...announces them on FB..
    I didn't go to the Fair, today. I studied the 'situation', looked at DART on line and said, it's more than I need to worry about. When we were kids, we would sometimes go by bus and many times in cars and would park at the Fair Park..parking lot.  I don't know 'how reliable' that is now. It is $15. and $20. for Valet Parking.. If I figure this out before it's over and it doesn't cost me more than $40. or $50.,I might go...(I'm also coming from Ft.Worth, too.) I have my memories..anyway.. they're not gone..

Here is a link to an article in the Port Lavaca Wave that lists the founder of Warriors Weekend in POC.  I don't think this gathering is part of the nationwide Warriors Weekend organization, but I am not sure.  Kelly Parks is the guy that I contact about providing a boat and I'm sure he could answer all your questions.
