If you need any stupidity or laughs to help you through this bad period I'll do my best to entertain. You know I care about you, even if I like your bro better than you, so maybe if I ripped you for WalMart you might smile a bit?

Originally Posted By CarolinaDisneyDad Welcome back Dan. Sorry for your loss. I had been wondering where you have been because you stopped posting right after I started. Again, we're glad you are back.

It was an innocent remark pertaining to the true subject of this thread but I immediately felt an ouch because I have experienced this same loss three months ago. Back on topic I forgot the topic...Dining declines.Focus Focus Focus

The tp and paper towels and napkins have gotten really thin and not soft since this company took over.It has made me do the exact opposite of Northern's Business Plan. I will not buy Northern at the grocery store.

We are just suffering the withdrawal tho'...No SMALL World for the holidays...

Originally Posted By MPierce Dan's a Texan. I'm sure he will probably give you ample oppurtunity to rip him in the future. I just want to know, does his brother's talent as a singer, put him in constant demand for an encore appearance at the Rose and Crown Pub like Dan?
Originally Posted By danyoung Nope - I'm the only Young brother to have ever made a living as a musician, and consequently the only Young brother who is qualified to peform at the Rose & Crown.

Obviously those who aren't fortunate enough to live here are going to be screamingly jealous. I try to let the snipes and jabs and totally mean spirited attacks just roll off of my huge Texas shoulders, and be a talented but humble former musician Texan.
Originally Posted By MPierce Not a crack at all. Anytime the word Texan is used it is always a compliment. Everybody knows there are only Texans, and people who want to be. It was never my intention of diminishing the role of a Martini, only to highlight your talents.
Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub My daughter moved from San Antonio to Keller,a suburb of Dallas. Both of my grandchildren were born in Texas so I guess that qualifies me to have some of that Texas Pride! NoTexas crack for me...
Originally Posted By danyoung Well, OK then. We Texans gotta be proactive against all those who simply don't understand how great we really are . . .
