Dangit! Never could spell that right. I always thought it was "dudden." Serious story here. Before my husband and I got married his Mom commented on my Texas accent. (Dang Yankees) Anyway, she had the audacity to ask me if I had trouble learning to read and spell because we drop our "g"s. I told her "We don't spell it different, we just say it different." (LOVED using incorrect grammar just to tick her off.) Then I went on to mention that I graduated from high school with honors.
Sad thing is, it didn't make any difference. She still gives me grief about the way I talk. She better not get on to my kids though. Yes, please, correct them for incorrect grammar, but don't you DARE try to tell them that "fixin'" isn't a word because if you do, I'm fixin' to kick your butt! Ok /rant off Thanks for your patience. LOL

Texas lawyers seem to be a much better breed in general than their counterparts elsewhere. If memory serves, a couple of the men on the wall at the Alamo were lawyers, and Sam Houston himself was a lawyer at one point.

We still have slimy lawyers, but Texas lawyers as a whole at least don't take themselves too seriously. One of the local ambulance chaser firms here in Dallas has a giant fiberglass shark displayed over their building on I-75.

It should also be noted that our judges are *elected* by the people and serve defined terms.

He could have done that, or leave a phone number so we could get ahold of him to ask questions!!! It's not fair that he invents the internet then leaves us hanging.

But I'd rather be in my house than trapped in a broken down car on an Interstate during a hurricane.

Either way could be bad and it may depend on your elevation. Being 15 feet below the height of the storm surge can turn your home into a coffin (as we saw in New Orleans). I wonder what wind speeds the average automobiles window glass is rated for ? Would have to be higher then 120 mph ? Anyone have that data ? Of course it wont matter if the air is full of flying debris.

pronounced e-rath..I think..one of favorites is Uncertain! I'm pretty sure it's one of my favorites:) Also Gruene cracks me up cause it's pronounced green...

Yep! I've been to Uncertain. True story - I stopped at a phone booth while passing through and called someone in Memphis, TN. They asked where I was and I said "I'm in Uncertain." They said "Don't you have any idea?"
