Texas, Our Texas

Thanks for posting that - I clicked on it earlier and meant to thank you. My kids came out of the woodwork singing it as they do every morning at school. Wish you could have heard their sweet little voices.........God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong......

It is a picture and it works for me.

Did I mess up the HTML code?

[daybreakcoming]

It looked like a bad dream - took me forever to scroll through it. :o)

Everybody named Eaker are related.

He is relative of mine though I don't have the links at hand.

I just took at look at the source code of your post....
I'd say .... yes you messed up the html big time....
I can't make heads or tails of what you were trying to post.......

Is there any way I can help?

Wish I was back in Texas. The ocean's no place for a squirrel. Wish I was Texas, prettiest place in the world, oh no. I guess deep in my heart, I'll always be a Texas girl. I wanna home, home! Yo-de-lay-de oh...

I wanna wake up in Texas. I miss those wide open skies. I miss my twenty acres. Barbecues and pecan pies, oh why, when I'm so far from you Texas, all I can do is cry...

I wanna go home, (deep voice) I wanna go home!

It is a 79k pic. It works fine for me.

What is the problem on your end?

Even on the worst dial-up it should not be a problem.

I am using Mozilla and it is fine. I will bring it up in Gates' program and check it there.

[Fiddlstix]

Check your FReepmail......

That's HUGH!!! LOL!!!

You might want to ask the Admin Mod to delete and start over.

I thought you were sending us an actual-size map of Texas!!!

[Fiddlstix]

Is this what you were trying to post?

As parliamentarian of our county Republican Party, I have often led our group in the short, sweet, and historically ignorant pledge to the Texas flag: "Honor the Texas flag, I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas: one and indivisible."

Actualy, Texas is the only state permitted by the act of statehood to divide itself 5 ways without leave of Congress or President. Last got much mention at all during the late 60's as a device to create 8 more presumably conservative Senators. Another relic of our status as a former independant republic.

By the way, a poor day to bet against Texas college teams.

I made a error in the width. 7600 instead of 760.

IE failed. It shows up fine on FireFox.

I have asked the Mod remove it.

Thanks.

[Fiddlstix]

I posted it at 600 x 580 and used the center tag.......
Seems to work fine.........

[paulat]

DANG!!! I was looking forward to that ACTUAL SIZE map of Texas!!!

Chili as we know it today was made possible by a German named Willie Gebhardt. He was the discoverer of a way to produce and preserve chili powder so it would be available year round.

Keep in mind that Christ lived in a place far more like we do than those yankee, western European Christmas scenes.

You are absolutely correct. I visited Jerusalem last October. When we went out, the first evening there, It was the same temp/humidity I am used to in San Antonio.

Have you ever had that stuff they call "chilli" or "Chille" in Pennsylvania?? Hamburger cooked in ketchup. Awful!!

Maury Maverick was a very Liberal A$$hole. Just really loved his Communist friends from Austin.

Remember Red Berry, Texas legislature representative from San Antonio. Wanted to split the state into North and South Texas because of Gambling and mixed drinks.

"It is interesting that while most of we Texans are polite and cordial whenever meeting folks from elsewhere, often these same folks will go out of their way to make a pointed attack against us. A little trick I have used is to comeback with comments such as; "have you ever heard a song about Rhode Island"?. "Can you name one epic novel written about New Jersey"? Can you name a state that has had probably a dozen movies made about the same event (Alamo) and continues to sell well each time"?

Gah. As far as I'm concerned, the Delaware River is an international boundary. When you drive across the Commodore Barry, there should be a Checkpoint Charlie-like sign below the NJ state seal, and they should ask for your passport.

When the PA motto was "America Starts Here", we also implied that it ended here, too.

No, I don't harbor a special dislike for the Garden State.../sarc
