Ellie Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Yes, you get points for Disneyland. Give yourself about 1,000 because I am arbitrary like that. You are so awesome. But then you have "texas" in your name, and we Texans are just awesome like that. Also sometimes arbitrary. Which can be good or bad. In your case, it's good. :hat: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, you know what. This isn't fair. I'm crowning myself winner and Queen. So there. Also, California's better than Texas. You can tell her that he will be five years old at the end of May, and that he is going to Disneyland to celebrate. :-) Do I get points for Disneyland? Awe man. We want to go to Disneyland! She'll still call him her baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelli Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hi Chelli. ;) Hello! Thanks for the link to the Texas thread....... I'm getting a late start to the points, but I'm going to do my best to catch up. I do have a few negatives to start with though. 1) I'm actually born and raised in Arkansas so not a true Texan. I just moved here 8 1/2 years ago. 2) I still prefer pork over beef for BBQ, but I do like the slow-cooked Texas method. 3) I do not like the part of Texas I live in (Houston) when it comes to weather and landscape, but there are parts of Texas that I do really like (Hill Country, San Antonio, Fort Worth). 4) I do not, nor will I ever cheer for UT in football. I would never be able to show my face in Arkansas again. Now I plead my case for points. 1) Buc-ees and HEB are my two favorite Texas stores. I think every state should have them. 2) The pecans down here are crazy good and really big. Best pecan pies EVER! 3) When I lived in Colorado, everyone thought I had a Texas accent so even though I'm not from here apparently I talk like I am. 4) I received 85% on the How Texas Are You quiz. I failed when it came to gas station food. I just can't do it. I'm too much of a foodie. 5) The awesomeness of Texas highways with wide shoulders and high speed limits makes it like the American Autobahn. 6) While I might now like the weather or landscape of Houston, the shrimp is out of this world! So good and fresh off the boat! 7) The homeschool laws in Texas are the best in the nation. No argument to say otherwise shall even be addressed because it's too ludicrous to even consider. 8) I really want to meet Texasmama in person. I think we could get in a lot of trouble have a lot of fun together. :sneaky2: 9) My very nicely numbered lists should count for beauty and ease of presentation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, sad and amusing story: In order to make it to co op this morning to teach my class, I had to drive my boys to the Goodwill store, give them money, and ask them to buy me some crutches. Well, they bought the only pair there, which were too short (I'm 5'10"), had one rubber stopper missing from the bottom and had NO handholds. Then, when I got to co op, I had to call my friend to come park my car so I could walk right in the door. After co op, I drove to my dad's house to borrow his crutches, which have HANDHOLDS. Nice. :coolgleamA: Taking a bath a bit ago was interesting, too, given I was trying not to hurt myself, suspend my sprained ankle out of the water and not wet the road rash on the other leg I got when I hit the pavement.

Critterfixer Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 4) I do not, nor will I ever cheer for UT in football. I would never be able to show my face in Arkansas again. A native of Arkansas says you are free to pull for Rice, Baylor or A&M. According to the Anti-Longhorn Society of Arkansas, those cheering for UT are not allowed back over the border.. :laugh: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
