Mike

Does it count if I've thought about putting up the tree? I've been cleaning out closets instead. No fun.

 

[keiffers]

not gonna do a tree again - one cause of the cat and two its just me and too much of a fuss, plus I can't justify spending money like that without a job

Just toss the cats out into the snow and cut down a neighbor's tree while you are out there. (kidding - honest)

Actually, I'll be using a handmedown artificial since I'm allergic to so much of nature!

In my first tiny apt, I decorated one of my silk trees! So much easier! Three ornaments and one strand of lights made it a finished product!

LOL no snow here until atleast Feb, if at all - plus the only tree outside is one of them big Texas weeds LOL

I tend to be a little anti-christmas anyway only cause so many people have made it seem like such a big deal and have commercialized/materilized it beyond all get out

What story?

 

[I'm Wild Cherry]

What story?

I heard it wrong. It wasn't the Texan's game but the Texan's stadium. I heard something about the temporary stands had technical difficulties during the Longhorn's game yesterday.

hmm.. the Texas game was played at the Texan's stadium, Reliant Stadium here in Houston.. I haven't been able to find anything about any poblems with the stands but I'll keep looking..

 

[keiffers]

i found something about it on the Austin papers website

http://www.statesman.com/sports/con...rts_News/FBC_T25_Big_12_Railing_Collapse.html

HOUSTON — A section of the railing at Reliant Stadium collapsed in the post-game celebration following No. 2 Texas' 70-3 win over Colorado on Saturday, sending several fans tumbling to the ground.

Nina Jackson, a spokeswoman for Reliant Stadium, said no one was seriously injured in the incident.

A group of Longhorns were shaking hands with the fans when a section of the railing on the lowest level near one of the tunnels gave way. Emergency personnel responded to treat a handful of people.

Texas defensive tackle Franklin Okam helped lift the rail to ensure no one was trapped underneath.

About an hour after the game the area was cordoned off with yellow warning tape and removable gates and guarded by a stadium staffer.

I had not heard about that. I imagine it was a bunch of fans leaning over the railing and it just became too much weight. I hope no one was seriously injured.

 

[keiffers]

probably so - I can already see some of those people screamin "I'm gonna sue Reliant Stadium and the Texans' all cause of their own stupidity. Oh well, hope everyone turned out ok from that little incident

 

[I'm Wild Cherry]

Like I said, I barely heard the news, but the tone was "THE SKY IS FALLING." I bet I had on channel 2!

 

[keiffers]

I was surprised that the only trace of it I could find was on the statesman website LOL they usually take their time to put news into the paper

Brrrrrr.... Where's August and 100+ degrees!?

Thought I'd tell everyone that this Saturday is the boat parade at Kemah. I've never been able to make it but I've seen many photos. The boats are decorated and "parade" together at 7p.m.

I have other obligations but I've always wanted to go. If someone goes, I want to hear all about it and pictures would be great!

LOL you didn't have it so bad in Houston....come to Austin and slide into each other - that's the only good thing about being unemployed right now, I didn't have to worry about getting up and wondering who would hit me if I even attempted to venture towards work - I just watched out my window while everyone else drove 5 mpg hehe

Likewise. Why does everyone look at me strangely when I wear my fuzzy warm slippers instead of shoes? Don't they understand?
