Alright, people. Listen up.
The weather forecast sez it’s gonna be hot (go figure) the next few days with highs in the 97F-99F range.
Men need to make sure to take frequent breaks and stay hydrated.
Wimmins need to wear less clothing and spend some extra time near the refrigerator.
So’s they can fetch more beer & sammiches.

“I am calling the Legislature back into session because too much important work remains undone for the people of Texas,” Perry said in a statement. “Texans value life and want to protect women and the unborn.”
The first session’s debate over abortion restrictions led to the most chaotic day in the Texas Legislature in modern history, starting with a marathon filibuster and ending with a down-to-the wire, frenetic vote marked by questions about whether Republicans tried to break chamber rules and jam the measure through.
A second filibuster is harder to pull off though, since supporters of the bill will ensure it clear preliminary hurdles and reaches floor votes in the House and Senate well before the second session expires.Unless I gravely misunderstand this bill, I truly hope it passes.
After abortion setback, Texas GOP set to try again -
Look for a big announcement from Senator Patrick today.
-
He’s bringing back Chris Baker? 😀
-
Speaking of Chris Baker, what happened to him?
-
He’s bringing back Pat Gray.
-
Pat Gray, tried to act like a conservative, but his left leaning attitude allways came through, he was real bitter when ole Dan fired him.
-
Uh oh. You’re gonna wake up Darren.

Things not work out so good between Pat and his Best Buddy For Life?

There is a discussion going on over at Hammock forums as to what is the proper terminology to use when camping with a hammock. Some of the discussion is (somewhat) serious, while others have taken advantage of the opportunity for humor such a discussion represents. I mentioned, for instance, Texpat’s confusion when I noted that I was going to go out and hang my Grandchildren.
One name has emerged that you Philistines who laze about on the couch will appreciate. I only wish I had thought of it myself, but I was too involved in the gravitas of the issue. The name will be revealed in the following. When I first saw it I thought one of you people had dragged yourself off the couch and joined in the discussion there:At what point do hammananigans become hammfoolery?
I think we may need a forum poll… -

Or his retirement from politics. -
I recently caused a friend of mine to laugh. I was mentioning that since the Wal-mart that’s on my daily errands route has brought back its fabric/sewing department, my shopping trips are taking longer. I have to stop and fondle each lovely bolt of fabric as my mind runs rampant with ideas and the desire to have it.
I am now a fabric pervert. -

Unfortunately, there’s not a 12 step program for my problem.
The friend I was talking about? She has the most AMAZING stash of fabric! Two rooms, floor to ceiling plastic tubs, labeled and stacked, with a path to her sewing machine.
I told her about my fondling problem, and she chuckled and said, “Be careful, Tedtam! That’s how it starts!”
BTW – she is now working on using her stash instead of adding to it. I have a feeling that at some point, I’ll be the recipient of her largesse. -
Bob Menendez is threatening Ecuador if it grants asylum to Snowden.

Morning Hamsters and Hammanigan. Is Dan’s announcement expected to be political or radio? I checked his FB and don’t see any teasers there.

I mean, my cursor.
It’s still funny. -
Ah, she got tired and left.

25 bicycle cops in Filthydelphia arrested two lovebirds for sharing their love in a public park.

Patrick announced he is going after Dewhurst’s job.
-
Who is the lesser of those evils?
-
I thought he would, after his gritching on the radio yesterday about the ineptitude of the leadership. Given his complaints yesterday, I figgered the Lt. Gov. position is where he feels he can make the most improvement.

Anyone but Dewhurst, I always say.

Now that things with the move are almost over, I’ve started getting jerked around again by my chiropractor. I’ve been dealing with pain in my sacroiliac joint for weeks and weeks now, and helping Lovely set up her kitchen last week certainly didn’t do me any favors. The chiro said he “got things moving,” but I could never feel anything “move” in my left hip, and it’s the one giving me all the trouble. The inversion table helps, but things start tightening up again.
Monday night, I was in my car coming back from meeting with the above forementioned friend, and I felt a certain amount of tension and said “This is the time!” I braced my arms on various surfaces, lifted my torso slightly, and twisted. OH MY WORRRRDDDD! There was a huge crunching sound, and a very obvious popping inside my hip. I actually felt my hip move! And the pain was gone, gone, gone! Everything was loose, and I could walk and bend without having to think about it! WHOOOOP! I came home, fed the cat (she was starving), and since it was late, went directly to bed.
I forgot that for every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction.
I forgot to take any anti-inflammatory medicine and I should have taken the ice pack to bed with me.
My bad. My very, very bad.
Tuesday morning, I could barely get out of bed. Using the toilet was torture. The table was the nearest therapy I had, so I somehow got my ankles locked in did the vampire thing for a few minutes, and it helped. I had to granny step it down the stairs to get to the ibuprofen in the kitchen. The ice pack came out right after that. After a few hours, things loosened up a bit, and I no longer wanted to cry.
Yesterday morning, things were better, but still sore. I had another appointment with Dr. Straightenmeout, and I told him what happened. He had a good laugh as he bore down on the hip again. I told him I could hear and feel the right hip, but not the left. He said he could definitely hear it. Came home, ice pack and meds again.
This morning, while I still have a dull ache, it’s not the sharp pain that I had. Meds, ice, and I make sure I get up and move around during the day to keep it from locking up. I go back on Monday.
Getting old sucks. -
Hubby’s threatening to trade me in on a newer model.

Not clear what happened in your car driving home. Did all that bracing and twisting occur at the wheel? Popping your joints while driving may not be legal in Texas. 🙂Getting old sucks.

Contemplate how Dewcrist could have avoided the spectacle we saw last week on the abortion bill if he had only had half a brain and an actual desire to see it passed and that decision will be solidified. -

The key prosecution witness in the trial for the murder of the kid that would look like bronco if bronco had a son is not doing the prosecution any favors.
It looks like she’s committed several acts of perjury beyond the one brought up yesterday.A teenage friend of Trayvon Martin was forced to admit today in the George Zimmerman murder trial that she did not write a letter that was sent to Martin’s mother describing what she allegedly heard on a phone call with Martin moments before he was shot.
In a painfully embarassing moment, Rachel Jeantel was asked to read the letter out loud in court.
“Are you able to read that at all?” defense attorney Don West asked.
Jeantel, head bowed, eyes averted whispered into the court microphone, “Some but not all. I don’t read cursive.”
It sent a hush through the packed courtroom.Worst case for Zimmerman at this point would be a hung jury.
-
Jeantel was subdued on the stand today, in contrast to her openly hostile demeanor towards Zimmerman’s lawyers on Wednesday. Her behavior was so different that defense lawyer Don West asked Jeantel whether someone had spoken to her about her behavior on the stand.

Good morning Hamsters. Ugh, fast race from 75 at 6 up to 88 now. This afternoon will be brutal even in the shade.
Well, so Dan Patrick will challenge David Dewhurst. Good, and between the two I hope he wins. In the long primary battle between DD and Ted Cruz, the ugly ads DD either paid for himself or the ones outside parties paid for that he never denied were enough to cook his goose. Piled on his arrogance in dismissing the Tea Party Movement as beneath his notice, he started paying attention way too late. His protestations of being a conservative and friend of the TP were nauseating and insulting. Let the chickens come home to roost.
Dan’s periodic wavering from reliable conservative thought is preferable in contrast. And he surely can run the Senate better than DD. However, we don’t yet know who else will decide to run against DD, so due consideration must be given. -
Republicans Tom Pauken and Jerry Patterson have also announced for the guber race.
Early prediction: The Dems will run Wendy Davis, nationalizing the race, and win. -
Well Dan dropped his message in my mail box @10:55, asking for money of course.
-
Oops. I put Patterson in the wrong race. He’s running for Lt. Guber.

RE: “Lt Gubnor” D** Patirck (PBUH) here is his vidiot announcement
I mean really who did not see this coming. I am surprised he did not go full tilt gubnor. Oh wait Perry did not get elected “resident” of the house of white. But I digress.
/I submit the following at great peril to my peace of mind and getting dragged back into the political arena.
Wanna know why and why now. Google it ifn you do not believe me.
D-n (PBUH) voted against the spending bill before he was for it that he was for before he was against it before Dewhurst and his bunch added some junk to the bill. D_n (PBUH) has a massive battle against Tommy Williams Senator out of the Woodlands. There is no love lost between them two and did I mention there was a massive “R” move to strip D_n (PBUH) of his education chairman seat. What has happened is D_n’s (PBUH) cannon ball mouth has overloaded his hummingbird arse that and he stripped CSCOPE from the education bill and that just highly urinated of a whole bunch of people. D_n (PBUH) also has a history of playing the middle between two ends, talk about yer selective constituency decision making process, D-n (PBUH) is the master.
I laugh out loud because now you have a bunch of pompous lying buzzards fighting against an over blown pompous pompadour wearing shock jock cum state senator with a gawwwdddduuuhhhh complex fighting each other. -

Two questions:
1. How long has Jerry Patterson been in Texas politics?
2. What good has it done? -
No doubt bunsonburner has got it going on.

I saw a photo posted last night of the 45-yr-old heart transplant recipient. The transplant occurred Sunday afternoon. On Wednesday evening, he was sitting up in bed with regular-looking food on the tray table rolled up in front of him. The work being done at the Texas Medical Center is simply amazing.

BTW bunson this ain’t fair. “They” gotta click my links and knowing our bromance “{they” skip mine.. 🙂

This is sweet. Thank you’s are not as frequent as they should be:
This post is for all of you out there who have developed or contributed to Linux/Ubuntu projects and all of the open source coders who read this.I do not know where to send a post like this so I hope this one email will find its way in the sea of posts out there.
I thank you to the point of tears.
Earlier this week I installed Kubuntu on a refurbished AMD computer I purchased for $184 from a discount online vendor, it came with no OS. It now runs like a champ.
We cant afford much and this was my 14 year old daughter’s birthday present this past week. She is overjoyed. And she is already trying to tackle Adept Manager and exploring Linux; adding bling and her music, of course.
I cant tell you how much I appreciate the work you all have done. Its a work of art. If I could thank each and every one of you I would.
You have given her the world to learn and explore.
So if you get frustrated or tired in your work for Open Source/Free Software, just remember that somewhere in Missouri there is a 14 year-old girl named Hope, an A-student who runs on the track team, who is now your biggest fan and one of the newest users of Linux/Ubuntu.
Thanks most sincerely,
R.B.A.

Lesson Learned From TexMo
1) Never try on boots during the winter months that you plan on wearing during the summer.
2) Read the labels.
I purchased a pair of steel toe Red Wing boots about 6 years ago. I wore them infrequently and recently the sole decided to self destruct. Now this whole time one of the boots seemed slightly “cramped”. I observed this more so during the warmer months. I had the sole replaced and today is the first time I have used them since getting them back. My right foot is really being pinched today by the boot.
On a hunch, I took out a tape measure and sure enough the sole of the right boot is about ½” smaller than the left boot. I then took them off and read the label on the tongue. Left Boot: Size 12 Width E2. Right Boot: Size 12 Width E. Do ya see the difference? This means that 6 years ago some smuck tried on several sizes of boots and mixed them up in the box. This also means that another smuck came along and bought the mixed up sizes of boots.
So if any of ya’ll want to purchase a pair of mix matched, slightly worn, but with new sole, steel toe Red Wing boots. Just let me know. I’ll make you a very nice deal… $75 vs $200 new. -
There they are, on the first base line.
Where’s Ray Stevens when you need him?
I hollered over t’ Ethel, I said, “Don’t look, Ethel!” But it’s too late, she’d already been incensed. -
Jerry Patterson was author of the original Concealed Carry bill.
Hey, you asked.
🙂 -
TexMo, that happened to me once, too. I had a pair of infrequently worn dress shoes, plain black patent pumps as I recall. Getting ready on one dressy occasion, I found that the left shoe was just feeling uncomfortable. Like you, I discovered a size mismatch. I had worn those shoes maybe a dozen times without noticing the left one was smaller than it should have been.
-
I may have been mistaken all these years, but I always considered Patterson one of the original right wing lunatics. A right wing lunatic before it was cool.

Hillary Rodham Clinton will receive the 2013 Liberty Medal at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.
Jeb Bush, the chairman of the Constitution Center, will present the award to Clinton at a ceremony scheduled for Sept. 10.

Maybe we’ll have something on her by Sept 10 and they’re have to cancel her award. Not that I am holding my breath.

So the Senate passed their monstrosity 68-32. Now the heat is on Speaker Boehner to show a spine or run the risk of being dumped as Speaker. Seems as though the longer this madness over immigration reform goes on, the ice he’s standing on gets thinner and thinner.
As for Marco, IMHO the self-destruct nears completion regardless of which way he voted today. -
So this kid I’ve known all his life (he’s in his late 20s) posted this on FB yesterday:
Z – As someone who believes that government shouldn’t really have a hand in the marriage game at all… Can someone out there who opposes same-sex marriage please offer a non-biblical reason as to why?
I accepted:
H – I’ll give it a try. Marriage can certainly have a secular purpose. Humans have successfully evolved in large part because of a joining of male and female into partnerships that allowed them to propagate the species in a more efficient manner. As we continued to expand around the globe it became more and more advantageous to have those partnerships monogamous in nature. From a strictly scientific perspective homosexuality is an evolutionary dead end while monogamous heterosexual relationships have allowed the species to thrive. Sure, there are examples of polygamous societies throughout human history but they also introduce their own evolutionary dead-ends like genetic birth defects.
No response. So I asked:
H – Did you not really want an answer?
And the fun ensued. A Progressive Tolerant Homosexual responded:
PTH – He did, yours is just bullshit. What about all the homosexuals that adopt babies from heterosexuals that are huge pieces of shit that can’t take care of their own kids?
I continued with a reasoned, scientific explanation of my position through several increasingly belligerent posts from PTH and ended up with this:
H – Yeah, I know, I answered that question. And gave another example (polygamy) of what would lead to an evolutionary dead end. That bolsters the argument that the best route for the success of humans is heterosexual monogamy.
… to which the PTH responded with:
PTH – And you’re retarded to boot….smh
Finally I responded by paraphrasing Iowahawk:
H – Ahh yes. There’s some of that “progressive” tolerance I hear about so much.
Ad hominem attacks never win an argument. I think your arms are too short to box with science./Thank you, Iowahawk.
The sad thing is, the guy who posted the original question (he’s a good kid, just a little misguided) has a mentally handicapped big brother and his “friend” just disparaged him according to the “tolerance” code. -
Update – PTH has disappeared, along with his comments. I would have left them for all the world to see.
-
Fresh off his successes in the queerification of America, the “first gay president” wants to export it to Africa.

In light of recent court decisions well, I wanted to make sure and see. I do not want to see them procreating.
