Comments: OK. This snow is starting to annoy me. I've had to go outside three times today to sweep the snow off the satellite dish so we could watch TV.
Comments: Brian Williams on the NBC News said that Dallas had a problem.. We're waiting for Miss. and Haley Barbour to have a problem!! You-all heard that name before??? I don't think of terms of endearment when I think of Haley Barbour.. One of my tutor students has to write a paper on an African-American politician. Can't use Obama... I told her to google Shirley Chisholm of Texas.. and write the paper on her... You people stay WARM down in Texas. Bye... ![]()
Comments: Charlotte, what I meant to say was that chili without beans is just marinara sauce, isn't it? Official snowfall today at DFW airport is 7.3 inches.
Comments: *The governor of Mississippi has declared Ms. in a state of emergency because a winter storm 'might' hit tonight...?? You-all watch the national news, Weather Channel, whatever?? We live in a tri-state area..So MS. is part of our weather/tv etc..stuff.. They do 'crazy' things like that around here. Declare states of emergency and no emergency has hit!! Close the schools when there is no snow or ice in sight, yet.. I like the jackasses, Char.. They look very sweet! ![]() *(It's nearly as weird as John having seizures over the smileys!) ![]()

Comments: Sandy, beautiful pictures! Chateau Lynn looks like Currier & Ives.
Comments: Still snowing & quiet hard! Been snowing since before 6:00am non-stop. I've never seen it snow continuously for this long & I'm a navite Dallasite. So Beautiful!!!!! Want o see what it looks like from my front door & windows? Click here: http://soc1966.com/snow.html Charlotte - look at Lynell's pic . . . here's your chance girl, name those jackasses!!!
Comments: My Dear John, what girl would turn down a date with you! I look forward to dining with you on the 20th...I plan to arrive early so as to be ahead of Betty. John, this is the chance of a lifetime...I now can prove to you just how wrong you have been...I am both witty and fun and far from the "grouch" you perceive me to be. We may be dining in the midst of "grouches" but you will see that I'm not one of them! Seriously, I'm just anticipating the moment! Hugs!

Comments: Gingerjar, I like pinto and black beans....just not in my chili. Ouida puts pinto, black AND ranch style beans in her chili home concoction. Of course, I will eat bean chili if it is not too hot....don't like my chili hot either. Sam, that was Gingerjar that said that about spaghetti sauce. Still raining here....dreary!
Comments: Charlotte, that's called Marinara sauce! Johnny, no smileys needed. You can just feel that golden grouch energy with every one of my posts. I'm smiling as I write it.
Comments: I like beans, Char. I like Black Beans and Pintos... I hate Kidney Beans!! Braindead people must eat Kidney Beans.. They are tasteless and disgusting... Don't tell me you like Kidney Beans....!The next thing I want to try in the Chili...is liquor..I've never done it..Or specifically some kind of wine.. I've always wanted to go to Terlingua, to the Chili Cookoff..
Comments: Oh, and Ginger.......I don't like beans in my chili. Do you?
Comments: Thank you for the compliment John. Here is my definition for Jackass: Jacks are laid back and self-preserving in nature. They prefer to do what is good for themselves, which is not always what the JS thinks is best. They are very friendly, and their nature makes them excellent for children I wish I knew how to post a photo of Happy and Lucky here to punctuate my point. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Love you, C ![]()
Comments: Where's the fuzzy shoes, Lynell?? No fuzzy houseshoes! ![]() ![]() I'm making Texas Chili today... Anybody want to comment.. These Memphians sometimes make chili that tastes like Spaghetti Sauce... Anybody want to tell me what they like in Chili...(even John)?? It could bring on another thought provoking discussion............. You go guys!!
Comments: Hee Haw.......John ![]()
Comments: I'm not giving up on this picture thing. If you click this link, you can see the snow picture from my front porch this morning. It's deeper now, but not yet freezing on the strets. Rush hour will not be fun. http://lynell.smugmug.com/Other/Snow/11209764_4i44f#786017267_Gxofu Back to knitting that special smiley face ski sweater for my friend John.
Comments: A tip of the hat to Ms. Claudia Kenngott for so generously giving of her time to vividly illustrate my point regarding the term "Golden Grouches". My original plan was to use the term "Chronic Complainers" but it seemed more fitting to go with Golden Grouches, thereby blending the school colors with the subtle innuendo that her class has indeed entered its "golden", (albeit cranky) years. Claudia, I'll try to save you a seat at the Feb. 20 Belmont dinner if Betty Gibbs doesn't beat you to it. Also, let me say a big "Thank You" to Sharon Reeves and Ambassador Tenpenny for NOT doing the 'smiley face' thingy. As for the rest of you jackasses .... well ....
Comments: It is definately NOT snowing here.........wish it were,,,,,rain, rain, rain..(as if we need anymore) Boo hoo!
Comments: Lynell: Why expect me to put my last name when I couldn't even turn Caps Lock off? I only wish it were a few degrees colder. I live for days like that when I can push that "4H" button on the dash and see the terror in the faces of the lesser equipped and smaller vehicles. I know, I know I can't stop or turn any better but I can sure get away from the traffic lights in style. ![]()
Comments: The only time prior to today that I have seen such a beautiful snowfall was on a ski trip to Red River about 14 years ago. We had a foot of snow and it was great until we had to start driving home. At least I had a 4-wheel drive Jeep back then. I think tomorrow may be an ice day for me.
Comments: Thanks for the FYI Lynell. I sent them an email but nice to see you got thru on the pho! I hate the verification thing but apparently the GB people thought it was necessary. Hey Charlotte - is it snowing in Hstn?? the last time we got this kind of snow was 2-14-04, I stil have the pics witht he date! Seems like Feb is a snow month!
Comments: We are so funny....!! Everyone of us! That's what makes this site...so-o-o--...entertaining!!.. keep it up you-all...Where else can we be this entertained???(maybe with Robin Williams and Craig Ferguson?) WE OWE IT ALL to our FRIEND...LYNELL..... (boy, was that a lot of work!) ![]() ![]() ![]()
Comments: Camille, it's great to see you and Buzz and all the others posting here. Please don't be a stranger. Everyone loves to hear from you! BTW, I just spoke with customer service for the guestbook provider, and they have chosen to add the verification image when we post. This should help prevent spam.
Comments: John, "If you can't say something nice..." . If you don't like the smiley faces, don't use them. It is foolish of you to try to convince those of us that have known you for so long that the smiley faces are what cause your seizures , but if that is truly the case it is a easy fix. Just don't look at them.
Comments: Lynell, thank you for all your hard work in keeping our Guest Book one of the best. Sometimes things happen for the best. Good to see Buzz posting.
Comments: What are going dings?? I was trying out the wing ding font...........who uses that??? Whoa! And, why would it be here? 'Splain to my John ![]() Happy Day y'all! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() and you too John! |
