LOL! Yeah, 6'2" is tall enough but 23 is way too young for me. I've already got two kids...I don't need another.

Don't you know it. Prettier than Tom Cruise in Cocktail, Alicia Silverstone in Clueless, and Jack Black in Orange County, all in one.

<Tex ambles back into the room and his semi-puritan mind almost goes in overload - best get the preacher to save these souls...Heads to the breakroom for a glass of milk>

Looks like Angie will have me all to herself then.

You lost me when you compared yourself to Jack Black. Sorry hun. I'm going to Texas

Tex...sweetie...do you want some cookies to go with that milk? What's your favorite kind? My specialties are chocolate chip, oatmeal rasin, peanut butter, and sugar.

It'll be ok...promise.

<Tex blushes mightily and heads to the saloon for a sasparilla root beer - never did he imagine bumping in to this purty school marm today. Shorty and Red are by his side encouraging him on>

Angie, give me another chance. How about as cute as Jennifer Love Hewitt in Can't Hardly Wait, Matthew McConnaghy in A Time to Kill, and Ron Jeremy in Orgazmo.........Okay....another bad combo.

If you are sincerely interested, shoot me a PM and I can try to figure out a way to send you off a pic or two.

Ang...get the picture...let's just see. What can it hurt?

<Tex stops by the boardin' house for some of those sweet smelling, freshly baked peanut butter cookies - his favorite - after years of ridin' the range, a hankering for settling down begins deep in that withered soul of his. Could it be - he had known saloon girls, but this sweet faced Betty seemed different - so sweet and innocent - he had never felt this way before - but why were they all asking him for a picture - what was that? Anything like those new-fangled pictographs? He would have to ask Elmer over at the newspaper>>

Ang, you have my permission to ditch me for the Worm. I mean, he's from Iowa. I'm from Iowa, so I know that he can't be too bad a guy....roughly your age, tall, and a human karaoke machine. You have my blessing, my Love.

Jen, looks like you have yourself a bit of a suitor in ol' Tex. Tex, I might have to fight you a bit for Jen. But, only a bit and only on principle. Oklahoma is close enough to Texas that I can defend her honor if the need arises.

Kitten, so Blue has all this information and I don't? What gives, child?

Jeremy, what do ya wanna know? I bet blue could even answer them.

I am trying to be a player so I can date both of you guys, and Tex, but not Blue.........

Well, Ang, you know me.....I don't chase. You're gonna have to come and get me....or meet me in Denver. One of the two.

"Who'd wanna go with me? I don't have any good skills. Girls only like guys with skills."

<Tex rose from his blankets early this morning, stoked the fire up and made coffee - as he sat on his bedroll and watched the sun come up and the rustling of the herd behind him, he pondered the turn his life had recently taken. He had never known ladies such as this - who could be so forward, yet so sweet at the same time. Who could he talk to knew that knew womenfolk better than he? FrankPaul? The kid was a hand with the ladies alright, but Tex had always been a little leery of the boy, coming from OK and all - well, time rouse the dogies and get the herd on the trail - plenty of time today to ponder life and all of its wonders>

Hey Tex...would you mind sharing a cup of that coffee? I could use some caffeine this morning.

<Tex can't believe his eyes, there she was right in front of him>

Sure thang, let me help you down off yore hoss - do you mean sharing my tin cup - I only carry the one with me.

I don't mind...

<Unfortunately for ole Tex, the true magic of the moment with this beauteous creature was interrupted by the trail riders coming in for breakfast - it was time for Tex to take his turn on the herd - he knew he would treasure this moment all day. He wondered if he would see her again. They would be grazing the herd here for a while before taking them to the railyards, so maybe. Tex decided he'd better get to town this weekend for a haircut and a bath at the new barbershop.>

I'll be around...see you soon.

Dang it - now I'm having a hard time breaking the habit of talking the third person, like some kind of a dork!!!

No...you're not a dork...as creative as your posts have been, I bet you are a great trainer.

I dont chase guys, sorry Pup. We're stuck, but I will meet you in Denver for a hockey game, I LOVE HOCKEY!!!

I'll have to find out when they play either Detroit or Dallas. Either would be an INCREDIBLE game!!
