Texas will be happy to have Massachusetts move here, we had lots of spare room.

[texanwitch]

We will treat y'all right, the more democrats the better.

We have good food, warmer weather, and cheaper houses.

Bring some of y'all's cooler weather with you, the summers are a little warm here.

We will have y'all speaking Texan in no time.

Spring is almost here, you don't want to miss the wildflowers.

[Skittles]

1. jeez texanwitch

I would have think they've suffered enough

[texanwitch]

2. We need more democrats down here.

Everyone is picking on them.

We will have them eating chicken fried steak and drinking shiner beer in no time.

[Skittles]

3. true, dat

[texanwitch]

7. So y'all come on down.

We will keep the light on for y'all.

This is just for democrats only, the republicans can stay.

We have enough republicans already.

We need Gov. Bill White.

[jobycom]

5. Texans are going to kick some Skittles rawhide!

[Skittles]

12. you do realize I've been in Texas 34 fucking years, right jobycom?

including 17 years in Austin. No? I WILL KICK YOUR ASS.

[jobycom]

14. Didn't know the 34 years part... God, you're not as young as I thought you were

:wow:

[Skittles]

15. I was an Airman on Bergstrom AFB (now the f***ing Austin Airport) in 1976

I CAN KICK YOUR ASS; DOESN'T MATTER HOW OLD MY ASS IS, yes INDEED :7

[jobycom]

28. I came here as a grad student of history at UT (now the f***cking Austin Pro Football team) in 91

Thus I have no doubt you can kick my liberal arts ass no matter how old your ass is. :)

[City of Mills]

4. That's hospitable of you

Thank you! I'll bring some of today's weather with me -



:hi:

[jobycom]

6. Oh, that's beautiful!!

I love sand!!

[texanwitch]

8. Not that cold.

Just a little snow will do.

[City of Mills]

9. Actually, today was pretty warm

For up here, just about at the freezing point...this storm started as rain, then overnight changed to sleet then heavy, wet snow...that's why it's so 'clingy' on everything...it's very heavy though, weighing down the tree branches, and taking down power lines. I lost power overnight, but luckily it was restored soon after. By this afternoon, it was sleeting again...not anywhere near bone-chilling cold.

[EndersDame]

11. In Austin it was a Sunny 65 degrees Today was truly beautiful

too bad I was inside trying to get over a cold before school starts tomorrow

[texanwitch]

16. Just think, when y'all move down here you can escape that.

Now we can have bad weather, just had some cold weather.

Sometimes a hurricane but not bad weather over all.

[City of Mills]

18. Sounds good!

I'd love to spend some time in Texas! :bounce:

[texanwitch]

20. We know what it feels like to be picked on.

We had years of it because of Bush.

Right now everything is kind of ugly because of the recent freezing weather.

My yard is dead looking, some plants died.

Our plants are not made for below 32 for several days.

My yard is really ugly, the only thing green are the weeds.

Come spring every thing will be green again.

And the wild flowers.

Thanks Lady Bird.

[lukasahero]

13. Nice shot

Where are you?

[City of Mills]

17. I'm in Lowell

It was a 'pretty' storm, but messy too...not a lot of people out and about this morning, that's for sure!

[lukasahero]

19. Yeah - it's 'pretty' here too

(Hudson) except for the broken trees and stuff. Nice that it happened on the holiday.

I've got to remember to get out with the camera while it's still pretty like this. Really loved your shot - didn't know there were too many tree-lined streets left in Lowell. Thanks for sharing.

[City of Mills]

21. Hey!

Lowell has trees! Hahah we're a big city in a small area! I'm teasing, I know what you're saying. Here's a shot I took last year when I was living downtown -



My apartment was in one of the buildings facing the canal. :hi:

[texanwitch]

22. We don't have canals like that.

We have lots of bayous.


Pretty picture.

[lukasahero]

23. LOL!

Yeah, sorry, don't really think 'rural' when I think 'Lowell'. ;) That's another incredible shot! Holy cow - pardon my ignorance, but I didn't know Lowell had a canal. That's an awesome picture.

Just for giggles, here's a shot of my backyard a little earlier this year:


(We have trees! ;) )

[texanwitch]

24. Yes you do.

There are some woods nearby but not that pretty.

[WolverineDG]

25. If you can delay bringing that weather until, say, July

I'd say "howdy, partner!" :hi:

dg

[kentauros]

26. When snow accumulates at all here,

it melts pretty fast...



;)

[texanwitch]

27. Just think if it would have rained or snowed during our recent cold front.

That would have let to some interesting driving.

[kentauros]

29. And I would have refused to drive during "waking" hours, too!

Good thing there are 24-hour grocery stores ;)

[texanwitch]

30. I love to shop early in the morning.

Nothing like shopping bewtween 12 and 4 am.

[kentauros]

31. One time last month I was out during the day

and vowed that when I am an "old man" I will only shop late at night, so I'm not too slow (and unaware!) for everyone else :P

[texanwitch]

32. I like it because the store is mostly empty.

No shopping carts in the way, just take your time.

No screaming children.

[kentauros]

33. Sure, no shopping carts, screaming children, or half-aware "shoppers"

but too often they're restocking when I'm out, so it's a bit of a minefield :P

[texanwitch]

34. There is that.

I will take that over a screaming child.

[kentauros]

36. Same here.

The only thing I don't like is when they turn the lights off in the freezers. That doesn't make much sense in a 24-hour store :eyes:

[texanwitch]

39. I have a little pocket flashlight.

I did see a couple with fangs shopping one night.

Even vampires have to eat.

[kentauros]

40. Years ago I noticed a goth guy shopping with his mother, though it was during the day.

I had recently seen the South Park episode with the goth kids and had to get out of that aisle before I lost it :rofl:

[texanwitch]

41. I did go one time to a Vampire meetup here in Houston.

Someone talked me into it.

Never again.

They were some serious people.

[kentauros]

42. Yeah, I'd stay away from that crowd, too.

Better to hang out with the Urban Animals ;)

[texanwitch]

43. Those fake vampires were scary.

Urban Animals were cool.

[kentauros]

44. The Urban Animals may not be around anymore

but there are other skating groups, like Skate Trash. I was with them for a while, as they had weekly skate-outings. That usually consisted of skating from one bar to the next, over the course of several hours :D

[texanwitch]

45. I did the Q Patrol for awhile.

I was on the skate and bike part.

That was fun and a workout.

[Taverner]

10. Don't both dialects drop the hard American "r" anyway?

[BolivarianHero]

35. If I were from MA...

I'd offer to trade Mitt Romney for Jim Hightower. Deal?

[kentauros]

37. NO!

But you can have Tom Delay for free! :P

[texanwitch]

38. Hell yes.

Please take him, along with KKK Bailey.

All the democrats can move to Texas, our republicans can move to MA.

We will then take over Texas with all our new democrats and kick some ass in Washington.

Our republicans will freeze in MA.

That is my plan.
