  5. It is good to see that once again, you have evaded the assassins, despite their best efforts, we continue to thrive. AKA, We woke up not dead again today.

  8. I sure hope that Texan is in his garage or I can see why he has such a high bill with no insulation. But he is oh so right. Thanks for the mornin' giggles.

    🤣 Jerry Wayne's video is brilliant, but one little part has me feeling sad. He mentions not being able to "show his face at the H.E.B." Last week, the lovely Leanna [on her blog "Can We Have A New Witch, Ours Melted"] mentioned how she likes her H.E.B. in central/east Texas. I'm in El Paso...I ain't got H.E.B.! Am I missing out? I did my research. I know it's a problem of distribution centers, but I feel so alone!! 🤪😉😁

  13. Love these all! I should take up this style of texting - honestly, my friends wouldn't bat an eye.
    Wonderful video. He has a gift for Southern Gothic!

  16. An homage to Faulkner by a comedian is fascinating.

  17. Love these! Oh how I wish that Southern gentleman could have read The Sound and the Fury to me the first time. Unpopular opinion: I'm not a fan of Faulkner.

  18. 'dearest friend...' I'm going to use that!
    I love the Texan's description of succumbing to cool air and of course the $$$$.

  19. Faulkner often used hifalutin language when describing the doings of simple country people, so that video is not too far off target.

  20. When asked what i do while I was a stay at home mum I would answer
    I’m head of personal development and domestic economist

  21. Any style of English that doesn't include "like", "um" or an f-bomb as every second word is what I yearn to hear in 2025! And Jerry Wayne Longmire's comedy is delightfully funny!

  22. These are marvelous, and that video is PRICELESS!!! R
