I hear all you Texans are loaded ... you live on them big ranches with 24 members of your extended family ... and drive big cars with horns on the front ... and have wives with names like Sue Ellen who were Ms. Texas (while having numerous extras on the side) ... and you have big shindigs like the Oil Barron's Ball ... ~Kristen Shot JR~

I think the show lost its way when it started losing people like Principal and, later, Barbara Bel Geddes (heart and soul). ~Who drowned in the Southfork pool?~

And hey, it's a good reason for a Disney vacation too

One of her sons is doing the Goofy Marathon. Sunday morning she was in a race to raise money for breast cancer awareness, they had to run up 24 flights of stairs, she did it and came in first in her age group. We went out for supper that night, I don't see how she could move. But the lady is fit. BTW, the firemen who participated in the race, they had to do it in full gear. I got worn out just listening to her.

I meant I have heard that the phrase 'jumping the shark' has actually ... well, jumped the shark itself. ~Mrs. C was hot!~
