Wow--thanks for posting Pru's parting words to our lost TBD site. I didn't get to see them--just the blank URL not found ilk.

I am in Seattle now but I was raised in Texas and will always be a Longhorn.

Hey Aggie,
Great to be here from Dallas, TX. Although I live in Dallas I am in Colin County. I was born here but spent most of my aldult life in the North East. I am so glad to be back. Can't deal with the winters. To Colddddd for me. Go Longhorn's.

Native Texan here, family has been here since it was North Mexico.. but I'll warn ya, we been died in the wool liberals since the beggining.. now an endargered species north of Austin (God Bless Lyndon)

I am one of those afraid to look at football rankings.

I am one of those afraid to look at college football rankings. I am an Aggie!

Howdy, Aggie. I am not a Texan, but used to live in Oklahoma City. Is that close enough? I have family outside of San Antonio. Does that count? Probably no and no. That's ok. I still love Shiner Bock, a medium well T-bone and dancing until my feet hurt!

We have one Okie already, San Antonio is one of my favorite get aways, Shiner Bock is great beer, dancing is great and beef is whats for dinner. You are very welcome.

You might be a Texan if: It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, 'One nation, under God.'

You might be a Texan if: You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.

If you measure distance in hours, you may live in Texas.

If you find 60 degrees 'a little chilly,' you may live in Texas.

Hey Aggie - Love the "You might be a Texan if" ....those are great! MOre MORE - we need MORE!!!

If you open the back door and see if we can get a breeze through here, it is getting hot, you may live in Texas.

You may be from Texas if you hear: Y'all come back now, ya hear!

The Jane!

Thanks for the Invitation Aggie! My daughter and all 3 three granddaughters would love The Jane just on the basis of being purple. I swear! LOL!!!!

Now that's Kansas, if you've ever worn a sweatshirt, raincoat, shorts and coat all in the same day!

Howdy, y'all from the Dallas area!

I guess I can take one off my bucket list my first full episode of Spongebob Square pants. Looks like Sandy sures missed Texas. Home is where there are other criders that care about you.

Vandals recently knocked a hole in the fence of a local nudist colony. Deputies from the Sheriff’s Office are looking into it.

Heya DD Three - read the referenced article and meteor gazing does sound like a good way to spend a couple of hours before bedtime this evening. Thanks for sharing that tidbit.

Christmas Longhorn!

Please welcome Cowgirllu back home to Texas for the next couple weeks!

A very gentle Texas lady was driving across the Pecos High Bridge in Texas one day.
As she neared the middle of the bridge‚ she noticed a young man fixin' to jump (means 'getting ready to' in Texas ).
She stopped her car‚ rolled down the window and said‚ "Please don't jump!!!
Think of your dear mother and father!!!"

He replied‚ "Mom and Dad are both dead; I'm going to jump."

She said‚ "Well‚ think of your wife and children!!!"

He replied‚ "I'm not married and I don't have any kids."

She said‚ "Well‚ Remember the Alamo!!!"

He replied‚ ''What's the Alamo?''

She replied‚ ''Well‚ bless your heart‚ just go ahead and jump‚ you dumb Yankee!!!"

The Texas Baby Boy!
A Texan buys a round of drinks for all in the bar because, he announces, his wife has just produced "a typical Texas" baby boy weighing 25 pounds. Congratulations showered him from all around, and many exclamations of "WOW!" were heard. One woman faints due to sympathy pains.

Two weeks later, he returns to the bar.

The bartender says, "Say, you're the father of the typical Texas baby that weighed 25 pounds at birth. How much does he weigh now?"

The proud father answers, "Seventeen pounds."

The bartender is puzzled, concerned, "Why? What happened? He already weighed 25 pounds at birth!"

The Texas father takes a slow swig from his long-neck Lone Star beer, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the bartender and proudly says, "...had him circumcised."

Note: I stole this one from jan and the new LOL Lounge.

Cute. Everything's bigger in Texas. ;)

TOYOTA HAULING IN HUNDREDS OF JOBS

SAN ANTONIO (San Antonio Express-News) – Toyota Motor Corp. has confirmed plans to move Tacoma pickup production from a plant in Northern California to its San Antonio manufacturing facility by next summer. The move is expected to add as many as 1,100 new jobs to the facility over time.

Toyota will stop making vehicles at the California plant in March.
