Now how do we get "Texans" back in the title?

As a native Texan who's a long way from home, this thread has really made me homesick. Is it going to be a good year for bluebonnets?

Pep,

Are you sure you don't have some Texas roots on your family tree? With enough hairspray, I think you'd fit right in.

Songbird

hey, that new title is making me hungry for a sammich!! Got any possum over there, Dalson?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Here is my little fella and his yankee fish he caught up north: http://pic12.picturetrail.com/VOL427/742855/1277618/19119069.jpg

Oops, I forgot my manners.

Goodnight, Dalson!

Dalson please tell me you didn't eat any of that monster fish? That water is about as brown as mud. You need to fish up here in Lake Superior where the water is as clear and blue as a pretty girls eyes. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Oh my lord just looking at that water and that ugly monster fish is about to make me lose my breakfast. Gross!

And you do look about as redneck as they come. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I use to work in Chickasha OK... Dallas too. Actually camped on Lake Texoma, until those nasty little fire ants took over our tent. We did go out in the boat fishing before we hightailed it out of there though. Had to use blood clots for bait. Yuck I went along with the grossest things in my early twenties. What was I thinking????

this morning I woke up to three inches and more falling of beautiful white stuff everywhere...
the moon is full and still hanging around to kiss the tops of the pines tree so that they are glowing ....

there is now a two hour delay so the kids are celebrating in their pajamas...

it's calm and peaceful looking
right out my window...

soon the bird feeder will be full of winter birds

no matter what Texas has.....it don't have that...

these are the types of mornings that inspire painters or poets...
to roll over and go right back to sleep.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

ark^^

Now that's what I call a beeeaaaauuutiful word picture Ark!

I just love snow on the pines

The smell of cedar in the fire

Cozy flannel pajama's

AM radio playing softly in the background

Children giggling

Bacon crackling, hot cocoa brewing

Aw yes!

Dalson has snow! It might be 80 degrees out here in east Texas, but the panhandle gets snow! So there! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Yes, Dalson, that was on Lake Michigan where he caught that salmon. When I lived up there we always had a freezer full of fresh salmon and trout. YUM! Not as good as a good catfish, though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

WEAVER- no i didnt eat any of the fish, that pic was e-mailed to me from a friend, the fish was put in an aquarium down by lake texoma. but i am eating the deer, had some last night.

mel- those are nice , i have always wanted to go salmon fishing.

i have a funny story for yall, yesterday i was dropping a friend off at the airport and we were going through security at the airport when you pull in and we were sitting in line in my truck talking about spring turkey season coming up and i realized my shot gun was under my back seat, he is a school teacher and was freaking out, but to make a long story short the lady that checked my truck was about 4'10 and the bottom of my truck window is 5' and she had to stand on her tip toes to look through the window of my truck and in the bed, she couldnt even see what color my seat was moreless under it. homeland security at its finest

Are Texans "Southerners" ? Nawwww... but I bet some of these apply... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Just got this on e-mail, and figured this was a good thread for it.

Only a Southerner knows the difference between a
hissie fit and a conniption fit, and that you don't
"HAVE" them, you "PITCH" them.
_____
Only a Southerner knows how many fish, collard
greens,
turnip greens, peas, beans, etc., make up "a mess."
_____
Only a Southerner can show or point out to you the
general direction of "yonder."
_____
Only a Southerner knows exactly how long "directly"
is
-- as in: "Going to town, be back directly."
_____
Even Southern babies know that "Gimme some sugar" is
not a request for the white, granular sweet substance
that sits in a pretty little bowl in the middle of
the
table.
_____
All Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is.
They
might not use the term, but they know the concept
well.
_____
Only a Southerner knows instinctively that the best
gesture of solace for a neighbor who's got trouble is
a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold
potato salad. If the neighbor's trouble is a real
crisis, they also know to add a large banana puddin!
_____
Only Southerners grow up knowing the difference
between "right near" and "a right far piece." They
also know that "just down the road" can be 1 mile or
20.
_____
Only a Southerner, both knows and understands, the
difference between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and po'
white trash.
_____
No true Southerner would ever assume that the car
with
the flashing turn signal is actually going to make a
turn.
_____
A Southerner knows that "fixin" can be used as a
noun,
a verb, or an adverb.
_____
Only Southerners make friends while standing in
lines.
We don't do "queues," we do "lines"; and when we're
"in line," we talk to everybody!
_____
Put 100 Southerners in a room and half of them will
discover they're related, even if only by marriage.
_____
Southerners never refer to one person as "ya'll."
_____
Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat
them.
_____
Every Southerner knows tomatoes with eggs, bacon,
grits, and coffee are perfectly wonderful; that red
eye gravy is also a breakfast food; and that fried
green tomatoes are not a breakfast food.
_____
When you hear someone say, "Well, I caught myself
lookin'," you know you are in the presence of a
genuine Southerner!
_____
Only true Southerners say "sweet tea" and "sweet
milk." Sweet tea indicates the need for sugar and
lots
of it -- we do not like our tea unsweetened. "Sweet
milk" means you don't want buttermilk.
_____
And a true Southerner knows you don't scream
obscenities at little old
ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. You just say,
"Bless her heart" and go your own way.
_____
To those of you who're still a little embarrassed by
your Southerness:
Take two tent revivals and a dose of sausage gravy
and
call me in the morning. Bless your heart!
_____
And to those of you who are still having a hard time
understanding all this Southern stuff, bless your
hearts, I hear they are fixin' to have classes on
Southernness as a second language!
_____
And for those that are not from the South but have
lived here for a long
time, ya'll need a sign to hang on ya'lls front porch
that reads "I aint from the South but I got here as
fast as I could."
_____
Bless your hearts, ya'll have a blessed day.
_____

Faith -

My dad and all his people were from the south. Southern Missouri (south to us) and your post makes me miss them. Best childhood vacations I had were down there. Everyone in town would come by just to say "hi" when they heard so and so had family visiting. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
