Dear Beloved God in Heaven,
Please give us a president that loves this country and everything it stands for.
Please give us a president who respects you as the one true God.
Please give us a president who will, with your help, restore this nation to its former glory, the way you created her.
Please help us to respect what you have given to us and not take anything for granted ever again.
Please God, weaken the evil and strengthen the good, both within and without.
May our eyes be opened.
In Jesus' name, Amen
As never before in the history of this country has this plea been so necessary....
In God We Trust and we pray that GOD WILL BLESS AMERICA!!!!
AMEN
You are correct! I should have worded it differently. I should have said,"I'm not privy to that information". :)Quote:

A mother asks her young sons what they want for breakfast. The first little boy says, "I'll have some @#$%^* pancakes." The mother angrily sends him to his room for cursing. She glares at the other little boy and asks, "What do you want for breakfast?" The second little boy says, "Well I sure don't want the @#$%^* pancakes!"
Lewis Grizzard used to tell a version of this ... "You betcherass I don't want them cheerios!"Quote:

Again, the little boy nodded in the affirmative.
The coach continued, "And when I take you out of the game so that another boy gets a chance to play, it's not a dumb ass decision or that the coach is a shithead is it?"
"No, coach."
"Good", said the coach. "Now go over there and explain all that to your grandmother.

The Haircut
Blessed are those that can give without remembering, and take without
forgetting.
One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked
about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you,
I'm doing community service this week.'
The florist was pleased and left the shop.
When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank
you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the
barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing
community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop.
The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you'
card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
Then a Congressman came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill,
the barber again replied, 'I can not accept money from you. I'm doing
community service this week.' The Congressman was very happy and left
the shop.
The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut.
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the
citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.
As Ronald Reagan said: BOTH POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON!

In just a little over a couple of weeks in early August, Fall practice starts.

Preparation is already in full throttle for the serious participants. Any freshman worth a damn is already there.....being motivated by Kurt Hester who runs the team this time of year until the NCAA rules permit the other coaches to re-engage.
The month of August will go fast....and Labor Day Weekend for the first slate of games to start the season will be right around the corner.
The fever Friday night at The Joe reminds us football is around the corner. I've always liked how Bear Bryant opened his first aTm pep rally . . . .:
".... That first night in Aggieland, Bryant wore a dark flannel suit with cuffed pants. A dab of Brylcreem mixed with his dark curls. Walking slowly to the front of the stage, he could see rows and rows of cadets far into the darkness. The army ROTC boys wore olive shirts with black ties, and the air force ROTC boys had donned dark shirts with green ties. Several flags signifying the colors of the squadrons and the companies were held aloft, and for a time Bryant could feel himself drifting back to his own naval days on the USS Uruguay, sailing to North Africa during World War II.
"The torchlights created strange flickering flames that cast long and jerky shadows. Suddenly the adrenaline kicked in and his charisma bubbled to the surface. Bryant ripped off his suit coat and glared at the crowd like a man ready for a back-alley fight. He slammed the expensive fabric down on the stage and stomped it with both shoes. Whipping off his tie, he twirled it above his head and threw it down. He kicked and stomped the tie like a menacing rattlesnake and then danced around it. He mimicked the yell leaders by rolling up his sleeves almost to the elbows. Then he cradled the silver microphone in both hands and waited for the silence.
"Boys," he drawled deeply and resonantly and then paused. "It's time to win some damn football games......"
That's very funny. Well done. :laugh:Quote:

" Don't Drink and Drive. You might hit a bump and spill something."
A "ULL" grad who is a financial advisor at our Wal-Mart told me I should invest in Xerox and Wurlitzer.
I asked him why and he said he got a credible tip that they were merging and would produce reproductive organs.

QB: Oh, coach, don't holler so much, please. I got a head that feels like it was in a drawer all night. Now, will you go away?

Someone asked the other day,,,,,,,,,,,,,
'What was your favorite fast food when you were growing up?''We didn't have fast food when I was growing up,
I informed him, 'All the food was slow.'
'C'mon, seriously. Where did you eat?''It was a place called 'at home,' I explained!
'Mom cooked every day and when Dad got home from work,
We sat down together at the dining room table, & if I didn't like what she put on my plate, I was allowed to sit there until I did like it.'By this time, the kid was laughing so hard I was afraid he was going to suffer serious internal damage, so I didn't tell him the part about how I had to have permission to leave the table.
Here are some other things I would have told him about my childhood if I figured his system could have handled it:
Some parents NEVER owned their own house, wore Levis, set foot on a golf course, traveled out of the country or had a credit card.
My parents never drove me to school. I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50 pounds, and only had one speed, (slow).
We didn't have a television in our house until I was 10. It was, of course, black and white, and the station went off the air at 11, after playing the national anthem and a poem about God. It came back on the air at about 6 a.m. And there was usually a locally produced news and farm show on, featuring local people...I never had a telephone in my room. The only phone was on a party line. Before you could dial, you had to listen and make sure some people you didn't know weren't already using the line.
Pizzas were not delivered to our home... But milk was & so was bread.
All newspapers were delivered by boys and all boys delivered newspapers --my brother delivered a newspaper, six days a week. He had to get up at5AMevery morning.
Movie stars kissed with their mouths shut. At least, they did in the movies! There were no movie ratings because all movies were responsibly produced for everyone to enjoy viewing, without profanity or violence or most anything offensive.If you grew up in a generation before there was fast food, you may want to share some of these memories with your children or grandchildren. Just don't blame me if they bust their gut laughing.
Growing up isn't what it used to be, is it?
MEMORIES:
My Dad is cleaning out my grandmother's house (she died in December) and he brought me an old Royal Crown Cola bottle. In the bottle top was a stopper with a bunch of holes in it. I knew immediately what it was, but my daughter had no idea. She thought they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something. I knew it as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to 'sprinkle' clothes with because we didn't have steam irons. Man, I am old.
How many do you remember?
Head lights dimmer switches on the floor.Ignition switches on the dashboard.Pant leg clips for bicycles without chain guards.Soldering irons you heat on a gas burner.Using hand signals for cars without turn signals.
Older Than Dirt Quiz: Count all the ones that you remember, NOT the ones you were told about! Ratings at the bottom.
1. Candy cigarettes 2. Coffee shops with tableside juke boxes
3. Home milk delivery in glass bottles 4. Party lines on the telephones 5. Newsreels before the movie 6. TVtest patterns that came on at night after the last show and were there until TV shows started again in the morning. (there were only 2 channels!! If you had a TV!!
7. Pea-shooters
8. Howdy Doody
9. 45 RPM records
10. 78 rpm records 11. Hi-fi records 33 1/3 rpm 12. Metal ice trays with lever 13. Blue flashbulb 14. Cork popguns
15. Studebakers

THAT'S ME!!! I might be older than dirt but those memories are some of the best parts of my life.

How about having to change the TV channel with a wrench cause the knob tore off?
Never locking your car door? My dad ALWAYS left his keys under the driver side floor mat. Why? He didn't want to lose them.
Unfortunately I remember them all, although the Studebaker is a little fuzzy. Got my hand and arm pulled through a wringer when I was about 10. Scared me more than hurt.Quote:

Everybody had a crew cut except that kid down the block who got a Mohawk.
Before we had a tv (I think I was 6 years old when we got one)we listened to the radio. Big John and Sparky, Our Miss Brooks, Howdy Doody, One Man's Family, Jack Benny, Roy Rogers, Arthur Godfrey. There was also a show about outer space, but I don't remember the name.
Oh, how about drink cans that had to be opened with a can opener, and bottles that had to be opened with a bottle opener....a stalk of sugar cane that cost 2 cents and you could chew on it for a week.....when it would rain and there was no lightning, we would put on our bathing suits and play out in the rain.
Kids still do this.Quote:

3:30 A.M. Watching river stages and praying for cresting. Made it through all the rain fine, but I would never have believed we would see backwater from the river at our elevation.
Got a gauge in my yard checking as the water has been raising. At 8-9PM, was coming up at a rate of 4 inches per hour. Since then it has been slowing down. Last check at 3:00AM the rate was just under 1/4 inch for the last hour.
The water is at the base of the slab as I type. Several neighbors not so fortunate.
As of the last reported stages, the main river of concern has crested close to our area, and looks like the next point just down river from there seems to be cresting. I'm good for about 3 more inches until the sand bags will have to go to work.
I feel blessed, and will be doing a "real" happy dance if my "yard gauge" is showing no rise since 3.
If not, my wife will get the new flooring she's been wanting.:D
Hope all the other area Dawgs are okay. Lost track of how many inches of rain we've gotten(well over 20") since Wednesday.
HOORAAAH! The gauge level did not increase last hour.
BUT, I look at the radar and see the whole thing fixing to start over again.
Heavy rain coming in from the gulf heading our way.:((
OLDBLUE, you and your family are in our prayers. My cousin in Lafayette is trapped in his home in Lafayette. His house is on a hill. He along with son, daughter in law, two grand children and several neighbors are in his house. They still have electricity. He said there are several airboats traveling in his subdivision who said if they need to be evacuated to let one of them know. They are ok for now.
