    If someone in a Lowe's store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you may live in Texas. -Seriously, the reason why you look for someone at Lowe who works there is so they can go get you a cart. You can learn a lot more by talking to the contractors that are floating around. If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you may live in Texas. If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you may live in Texas. -And that can really suck if it is Chatty Kathy, as leckey would call them. If "Vacation" means going anywhere south of Dallas for the weekend, you may live in Texas. -We get so tried of the out-towners DFW area. If you measure distance in hours, you may live in Texas. -This one got me to thinking that anytime we plan on going somewhere we do ask first how long the trip is. If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you may live in Texas. -I just want to add cows also. If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked, you may live in Texas. -We only have one key to our house and most of the time we don't know where it is. If you carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you may live in Texas. -I really don't know what is wrong with that. If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and everybody s passing you, you may live in Texas. -This sounds like Dallas to me. If you find 60 degrees "a little chilly", you may live in Texas. -I kid you not, this morning it 64 degrees and I thought for a moment about going back inside and putting on a long sleeve shirt. So how do these match up against where you live.

    It was 68 when I left the house this morning and yesterday's high was only 98, so I think it might be time to stop wearing shorts.

      They are just trying to protect the kids.

      Early exposure to such is a more effective protection.

        I've done this before, but normally I just wear shorts and a tshirt to dig out from a snow storm. If I'm dressed more warmly than that it's generally because the snowfall was relatively light and I didn't want to go back inside to put on my khaki's after finishing up before going to work.

            I'm surprised there's nothing there about *almost* everyone carrying guns (or so I've heard).

                              Okay, I am suppose to say guns are not dangerous just the human beings that use them.:rolleyes: And then you are suppose to say... To be honest, that is a pointless argument to have with someone.

                                You've run into a well known forum bug. Hopefully the .net version will fix it.


                                This blanket smells like ham

                                  Okay, I am suppose to say guns are not dangerous just the human beings that use them.:rolleyes: And then you are suppose to say... To be honest, that is a pointless argument to have with someone.

                                  (I think/hope he was being sarcastic.) Oh it's OK for me to have a gun (and/or be naked), it's just not OK for you to. An armed public is safer than an unarmed one. And add "Red Dawn" to the list of must-see '80s movies. http://imdb.com/title/tt0087985/[^]

                                      Safer from what? Personally, I'd rather live in a neighborhood where people don't find it necessary to arm themselves. A neighborhood that has to arm itself, just doesn't seem like the sort of place I'd want to return to after a day at work, but maybe that's just me... Also, how is your gun going to protect you from a home invasion? Do you keep your gun in a locked cabinet, with the ammo in another locked cabinet? Or do you keep a loaded gun handy, "just in case"? If it's the former, I hope that your burglar has enough decency to let you unlock your gun cabinet and load the gun before attacking you. If it's the latter, I sincerely hope you don't have young children in your house...

                                          Well no, nor would I. But which type of neighborhood is a criminal more likely to choose to target? An article in a gun magazine I read a few years back mentioned some neighborhoods actually posting "Gun-free zone" signs. That's just asking to be victimized. Never tell anyone whether or not you're armed.
