Welcome Thread for the TBR Texas State Chapter

[austingirl]

Welcome, @XenaLee.

We've got the makings of a fine Texas board here!

Oh, @austingirl, did you see that Franklin Graham will be at the Capitol tomorrow?

I no longer live in Austin- moved to the Hill Country in 2011. The Obama signs at my neighbors did me in. Along with the traffic at the "Y" in Oak Hill.

[Hank Rearden]

I remember back in the day  there was no reason to go north of Beltline Rd..... unless you lived in the sticks er Plano!

Yes. Back when Plano was primarily a farming community and Preston Road was dirt/gravel.

Oh, wow - we must have been neighbors.  I left Oak Hill in '08 and moved NW.  And, the traffic is even worse now.

Tell me about it!  Before I left I had to make a trip up to Prosper from Richardson.  I had no idea Preston road extended that far!

I liked the old avatar. It was like our host, our guide, our butler Alfred and the Game Master all rolled into one... it was like the ferryman on the River Styx, like the man on the tapes of Mission Impossible, no it WAS the tapes... but without the self-destruction... hopefully...

I'll stop now. 

Our Yoda! That's it!...

LOL, I thought the Ayn Rand inspired pirate seemed more appropriate for the times.

I hate that not so fresh feeling.

I know, and those skidmarks can be so annoying!

[Bill Cipher]

Is this what Texans get up to when they're by themselves? 

[geronl]

*crosses arms*

It's not like anyone can see them.

Apparently.

More hail is expected today. Are you still in New Braunfels? Hope you are fairing well. My cars are OK. I do believe my roof had hail damage. Will contact my homeowners agent when (if) things settle down.

My location is a heavily guarded secret and the aluminum roof keeps the black helicopters from reading my brain!  :nometalk:

Nice thread y'all have here.  I'm from a small town a couple of hours west of DFW on the edge of the desert....lol.

I joined TBR earlier today after finding myself zotted from FreeRepublic, for not bowing to the presumptive nominee.

A lot more peaceful here.....

Glad you're here.

It can get a bit heated here, but nothing like TOS.

Hubby has a real good friend who lives in Texas, his house was destroyed by the hail. He is now living in motel.

Oh, no!  What part of the state?

[flowers]

Wylie, he said he was in the kitchen and all of a suden the roof caved in and water was coming in at a fast rate. Flooded the house. Now some of the roof is gone, they have huge fans in the place trying to dry it out.

[MajorClay]

Been here since yesterday when someone reached out to me when I could no longer post. I have reached out to slyfox who is considering joining. I never did change my alias when I moved out to the Hill Country in 2011, but remember fondly the marches at the Capitol in 2000.I met some great FReepers: basil, TheBatLady, TheSarce (may she rest in peace), anymouse, DrewsDad, and many others. Went shooting with the ladies, had the Texas HOT chapter at my house for meetings. Good times. Glad to see so many Texans here!

Here to join the Texas Chapter!!
