i wish Ike would just go away


Think that will happen?

nope, he is coming for you! right over Houston, down 290......

are you skeered?

yeah...and that means family will be fleeing and showing up on my doorstep


when should i expect them?

no later than next Friday, maybe Thursday......

will Mom and Dad put a crimp in your weekend plans? (do y'all share any interests?)

well they probably wouldn't be "into" my weekends plans...but Mom and Dad come first


are y'all preparing for lots of rain?

took the lid off the rain bucket!

did y'all know that young rowdies like Ms. B has special places in their hearts for older people...?

I did not know that.


Is "y'all" expanding outside Texas borders or is it still a Texas thing?

idk...i think it's a "southern thang"


why don't you start saying it?

No, I was not aware of that. Of course, I'm not one of these "young rowdies" of whom you speak, so how would I know such things??

I just about did when I was traveling alot in Texas.


How about waitresses that call you "honey"?

I call a lot of people honey...it's just a 'thang' we do here.



Does that bother you Excess?

Nope.


Do you call people "darling" too?

yep...i'm guilty of that


should i stop...darlin'?

I can't see you stopping.

Are you "fix'n" to do something?

I hope you wouldn't darlin'

do you call all your honeys "babe"?

Sometimes


I'm fixin to go to lunch, are you?

I'm not hungry, yet.

Can someone please explain why Sarah and Bristol Palin have not been vilified by the public the way Lynn and Jamie Lynn Spears were?

Because celebrities, for whatever reason, are considered role models in America whereas politicians are considered evil and awful just the way they are so vilification would be redundant.

What Seattle like in October?

Seattle usually gets cold and rainy in October. We're probably enjoying the last of the sunshine this month.

Are you planning to visit?

only if the inlaws make me!

how could a sunshine boy think of traveling to the land of the eternal cloud cover?

Maybe he wants to visit the only Starbucks left in America.

Is anyone else reserving their opinion on where Ike will go until Wed like my?



(planning for the worst, hoping for the best - again)

Maybe Ike is looking for Tina

well Tina's not on the Gulf Coast...so he can look elsewhere


do you know how to swim?

Emijo: I am whispering here, you see if you don't ask a question, the BaconBoy gets real snarky and all up in your face, like the punk that he is......

I think all you had to do was put a ? mark at the end of you statement, and it would go from a statement to a question - pretty cool eh?

Anyway, hasn't that Ike assumed room temperature?

I can do the swim Ms. B

can you do the mashed potatoes?
