stupid sign...

I noticed a sign last night. Previously, it was a billboard for a local bank talking about free checking and it sits in the dirt parking lot that we call our hang out each summer when the weather is warm and the nights long and boring. Last night, sitting there with a friend, I looked up and saw a poorly whitewashed billboard, barely covering the banks advertisement, and a little white posterboard sign saying "france germany and dc kiss our -------" just like that. No capitals, no punctuation and lines where the intended words is obvious. Now, maybe I'm just a little undereducated on the situations here, as I would like to remain, but this has peaked my curiosity. What in the world are they talking about dc for? I can understand the rest of it but dc?? Any ideas?

DUH!!!! Geez you'd think I was born yesterday. And here is me, forwarding some email my mother sent me about them and me responding, if anyone needs to be questioned as to their claim to Tx, it needs to be Natalie. I live in the town she went to college for music at. I know the professors she was taught by and even the professors agreed that she was a little ... well I probably can't use that word but uhm ... loose in her morals maybe but that's terming it very lightly from what I understand. It's one thing to say it on home ground, but in another country, com'on grow up. Now I feel really dumb but hey, THANX!

I used teal on the first one and indigo on the 2nd one.
I'm trying to decide which color I want to use and stick with it but I don't know which I like better. If that ones way too hard to read, I guess I'll have to change it. I could have done something dumb like silver or some such nonsense but I thought that the teal was easy enough to see... Guess not. Oh well...


Sorry, it was changed to blue by admin after the complaint by users that it was difficult to read

Uhm...that parentheses in my last post, is not what I typed. I think maybe we need to let it show as edited by admin if someone edits our posts. I'm not mad or anything, but it kinda bothers me that someone can go in and changed what we said, make it look like we said it, and no one but ourselves would know the difference. I thought I had used teal on both but I wasn't sure when I saw the blue on the second one. Now, I know my text was changed. I'd appreciate it if something could be done to show that it has been edited by admin.

Acutally, I really am not the type to want to repaint the house all the time or move the furniture like once a week or anything. I'm actually more the type that would want to repaint and change the color of my truck and that requires a pro...so I guess I better marry a car painter?? lol And win the lottery right?...LOL....

Sounds good to me. I think a coupla pool tables, beer, maybe throw in a dart board or two and have a garage door that opens into a garage area so when we all want to look at someone's truck, we don't have to go outside, just to the other side of the room. Sound good?

Sounds great to me, as long as you don't discriminate against the rusty, muc-caked farm trucks... they may not be showstoppers, but they get it done 24/7/365, ya know.

Of course there'd be no discrimination. And there would definantly have to be a BYOT policy (Bring Your Own Tools) so that if one of use needed an extra hand, we could throw back a coupla beers and relax to a game or two... I'm likin' the sound of this! Anyone got a place? I can get a coupla pool tables for reasonably cheap. I've got a bottle coke machine that we could fill with beer and charge like a dollar a bottle (depending on what we have to pay for them at the beer store... up here, where it's expensive cuz it's dry, it'd be like 1.50 or something). We could get a tax license, and a liquor license and really go all out if someone with a good business head got involved. I'm up for ideas and doin' it but I'm not real strong on money. Be great if we could get something goin' and get like fte sponshorship or something. If they wanted to get involved with something like that, it could turn into a big thing.

Ahhh... dreams....but it'd be a great one! Anyone think it'd ever be a reality?

Sorry, Connie... I'm not real strong on money, either... I AM a farmer, remember? Anytime I have a spare dollar I have to go buy parts to fix something around here.
