overcome with emotion, too.

1. Welcome back.

[Tobin S.]

2. Welcome back, hoss!

So, did you bring back any messages from the other side that you got while they were performing an overhaul on your ticker? Did you see God, angels, or Elvis? Enquiring minds want to know!

We're happy that you are doing good. :)

[JonLP24]

[davsand]

15. So good to see you back with us!

You had a lot of folks sending you prayers/vibes/well wishes/love, and it is wonderful to see how quickly you have bounced back enough to make the great escape. The real bad stuff is behind you now, and when you have the bad days in rehab you can't forget that fact. Every day is one step closer to you with a cold wet nose!

Brightest Blessings!

Before you leave, please be sure to change from that open back gown. It is tacky outside the hospital.

[bluesbassman]

24. Hey man, just logged on. WELCOME BACK!

I shouted because they may have messed your hearing up in the hospital.






























That and you're old. :rofl:



































Congratulations on a successful surgery, and I'm glad you're back brother. :pals:

[applegrove]

Welcome Back, Bucko! :hi:

[RandomThoughts]

28. Thats a cue for a song :)

Convoy.

[kentauros]

29. Well, it was certainly a convoy at the Houston Art Car Parade today:

A Convoy of Craziness and Zaniness :P

[RandomThoughts]

30. Still hooked up on the nouns I see.

What is the meaning of the parade, and does that have to do with the same thing many think of when thinking of Houston.

In what sense does that parade mean the same as some would think the implied meaning of Houston is?

Think about it. You are associating a small part of that city, with all of that city. But the Art cars still roll.

[kentauros]

31. Houston has a strong sense of art and supporting the arts.

Most people don't know that, nor the fact that the Art Car Parade is also the largest of its kind in this country if not the world. In a local world of oil and finance, we still know how to embrace the insanity of the "art car" :D

[AnneD]

45. I don't think....

The world is ready for the orange show or the beer can house, or even some of our three dimensional art. The inverted house might be too much.

Took a visiting relative on a 'walk on the wild side' tour of Houston. She swears she finally conceived because of it. Looking forward to the next branch of the family tree and telling them why their middle name is Houston.

To know Houston is to embrace it...ask the mayor.....

[kentauros]

52. You mean the "Inversion"?

:D :hi:


That's a great story about your relative. I used to live on 24th at Durham, and the woman that owned my garage-apartment and the rest of the buildings was an artist and supporter of the arts, with the resultant connections. Thus we had one of the three headless body-builder statues on our property, facing the road. I don't know how many times I heard the screeching of tires as people passed the statue and then had to back up for a prolonged look. Even an ambulance stopped to take a look one time :rofl:

You should look into the "guerrilla knitting" that's going on here, too, from looking at your profile :)

And not to threadjack MFM's thread too much, but I think he'd feel right at home in Houston's weirdness

[HeiressofBickworth]

32. My dear MFM

We have not been properly introduced but I've been reading your posts for seemingly years. I'm so glad you have a new lease on life and can continue to amuse us with your witty, thoughtful and generally hilarious posts. You are a treasure.
