{Also have no idea who my mystery wife is! And if I've got little ones, then I'm missing out on quite a bit! Less drinking, more McDonalds coffee needed?}
Still think Angel is a cutie!
Might send Builder to go play 'Uncle' until I can get home?
We've got mountains out west. Hill country in the middle. Forests in the north east. Deserts, Swamps, Praire, Bush country. Our beaches aren't too bad.
The best white tail hunting in the country. Javalena's good to hunt. Rabbits, Dove, and Quail, too. Plus there's no season on exotics.
Fishing ain't too bad.
But there are great big stretches of nothing but pasture with a couple oil wells and some cattle to look at.
We have 3 of the largest cities in the country if you like that. Plenty of small towns where people tend to take care of each other.
Not to mention some of the best actors and country singers out now.
I love my home state. Just call me "Way too proud of Texas guy" and toss me another beer!
Ahhh, but people forget about the rather large rednecks who don't like that joke! Maybe because so few people who encounter us make it home to warn others.
I had a coon hound named Blue. Now I've got a fat coyote, and 2 blue heeler/ border collies. One of which is my Dixie Belle. And not to offend, but they dislike pot heads, anyone of color, and pretty much anyone not me. they thing women folk are right nifty though, different perty smells and all.
Great poem can't wait to send it off to several folk I know!
I've seen you hammer our Government and know that yours is no better, worse in some cases. Isn't it sad?
I get frustrated that someone like myself will never rise to high level public office. I don't have enough money for one, and don't sugar coat.
At least I can see the schools, and new roads, and such that my taxes cover. (Although in the comments part of my tax check, I print "To pay the salary of....." a certain officer I do not get along with. He hates it.)
I still say, if we got together and put up a resistance for more than a single day, and actually took a stand against the oil companies like Mobil, exxon, and Valero, they'd drop their prices...for awhile.
Until we can do that, we get what we deserve. I write letters, make the calls, and do my part, what about you?
In high school in South Texas, my family had a small horse ranch, my best friend worked his family's place growing milo and had a few cattle. Another was a hay farmer. Another had a large hog farm. And yet another had one of the largest cattle ranches in the area.
We had parties out in one of our pastures, usually with a large bonfire.
We went mudding anytime it rained (Which I'm hoping it does here soon!)
We got drunk on weekends and spent quite a bit of time parked out on the back roads under the stars with our girlfriends.
We were rednecks, and unashamed. We fought when it was needed, said Yes Sir and Yes Ma'am, and were decent kids.
We wore blue jeans and boots, cowboy hats, and carried pocket knives. We had AG, Shop, and Auto mechanics as our favorite classes, but still learned the rest. Football was big, but Bull riding on Sunday was bigger.
Chili cook offs, and summer rodeo.
While most of us were cowboys, too, Redneck was what fitted us a s a group.
And yes, the term "Redneck" come from the Farm and Ranch live style. Undereducated working class with a pair of winter shoes and overalls.
But now it's more an attitude and way of life, like being classified as a "Yuppie", only pretty much the opposite.
Don't even need a sun burned neck, many redneck still sport mullets!
Search for Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engval, Larry the Cable Guy, "You might be a Redneck If...", and Ron White, Blue Collar Comedy Tour, or just "Redneck"!
More advantages....
You get to know who Hank Williams is, Jr and Sr, Mel Tillis, you knew who Johnny Cash was before the movie came out, Waylon Jennings, Conway Twitty, Lorretta Lynn, etc.
<----- Drives a 30 year old ford, 351, 4 bbl carb, 33x12.5 tires Vrooom!
I like them all, they all tear up the same, ford, chevy, dodge.
I like body styles not brands.
Another advantage to being a redneckis I can eat fried pig skins in public and keep pickled eggs in the fridge.
I can ride with my dogs in the front of the truck.
A mud coated truck is attractive.
And Bear, most hillbillies ARE rednecks! Just wander the Ozarks. Some of the best women I've dated were Arkansas hillybilly rednecks! That was back when I had a Trans Am....and a chevy 4x4.
It costs me $150 to fill my old truck. I only drive on weekends and average a fill-up a month. I'm not that old and can remember when gas was less than $1 a gallon.
I understand that "Big Oil" profits less per unit than any thing else sold, but they are still profitting billions a quarter.
If we decide not to pay what we're being charged, ie:stop buying until the prices drop, there's not much the oil companies can do. Here in Corpus the refinery workers stopped going in until our local prices dropped. Looks like it needs to happen again.
{I love to drive, it's what I used to do to get rid of stress. Not so much anymore. Now I have a bicycle, which doesn't work as well.}
A boy was assigned a paper on childbirth and asked his parents, "How was I born?" "Well honey..." said the slightly prudish parent, "the stork brought you to us." "Oh," said the boy. "Well, how did you and daddy get born?" he asked. "Oh, the stork brought us too." "Well how were grandpa and grandma born?" he persisted. "Well darling, the stork brought them too!" said the parent, by now starting to squirm a little in the Lazy Boy recliner. Several days later, the boy handed in his paper to the teacher who read with confusion the opening sentence: "This report has been very difficult to write due to the fact that there hasn't been a natural childbirth in my family for three generations."

What do you give an 80 yr-old grandma for her birthday? Mikey, he'll eat anything!

I'm gonna watch cartoons with my neice, I'll be back later!
Paddy and his two friends are talking at a bar. His first friend says: "I think my wife is having an affair with the electrician. The other day I came home and found wire cutters under our bed and they weren't mine." His second friend says: "I think my wife is having an affair with the plumber the other day I found a wrench under the bed and it wasn't mine." Paddy says: "I think my wife is having an affair with a horse." Both his friends look at him with utter disbelief. "No, I'm serious. The other day I came home and found a jockey under our bed."
There was this guy and he had a girlfriend called Lorraine who was very pretty and he liked her a lot. One day he went to work to find a new girl had started. Her name was Clearly and she was absolutely gorgeous.
He became quite besotted with her and after a while it became obvious that she was interested in him too. But this guy was a loyal man and he wouldn't do anything with Clearly while he was still going out with Lorraine.
He decided that there was nothing for it but to break up with her and get it on with the new girl. He planned several times to tell Lorraine but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
One day they went for a walk along the river bank when Lorraine slipped and fell in to the river. The current carried her off and she drowned. The guy stopped for a moment by the river and then ran off smiling and singing.......
A mother and son were walking through the park and both see a pair of dogs getting after it. The mother, thinking fast tells her son, "See that one doggie on top, he hurt his paw so the other one is helping him get home." The young boy nods, "Ain't that the way it works, try to help someone and ya' get screwed."
