Since I consider myself half Texan (17 or years qualifies you for bragging rights) this is pretty spot on.
I still use many Texas ways of saying things - drives hubby crazy. He just doesn't understand how you can "cut something half-in-two." Makes perfect sense to me.
Hmmmmmmm - where did the funnies go??
17 or so
Funnies are here, Adrienne... two posts down~ just cut the page half-in-two lol
I may not be a Texan but believe the translation is dead-on right!
They got what you call horse sense in TX
I'll take that James and goes to show a horse beats a donkey everyday!
U know it
I am late today, not sure why, lazy maybe. All of these are spot on RR!
In California this post would be considered a personal attack and hate speech, in Texas it would be considered speaking truth to power.
It worked - thanks ;-)
Yes I see the link, thank U kindly Adrienne!
