All Texans are weather wussies.

The temperature finally drops to a tolerable level- say, the mid 70s, and alla sudden ya sees all these Rhinestone Cowboys with coats, hats, and gloves on, shaking in their artificial snakeskin boots, whining about the near-blizzard conditions that have descended upon them.

Me, I'm lovin' it- born and raised in northern Indiana, this weather is heaven. I'm walking around in my T shirt, comfortable for the first time in months, and laughing my ass off at all the "tough" good ol' boys.

Wussies, one and all.

And so's yer muddah.

:rofl:

Oh... you are right!

:rofl:

p.s., I am not a real Texan, and neither is *!!

and hurricanes

along with the ice storms

all are pretty hazardous weather

:shrug:

Just sayin'

In the meantime,

:popcorn:

But they have to deal with hot weather way before us Midwesterners. I'm with you though with loving this weather. It's perfect for me!

I've was there at Xmas time, and a freeze was forecast. From the way everyone was carrying on, you'd have thought giant balls of fire were falling from the sky. It was hilarious.

They bitch when it rains, they moan when it's dry; it's too hot, it's too cold. They're never satisfied.

I swear, the Texas bashing is just ridiculous around here. These characterizations are so broad brushed and stem from some sort of deep seeded hatred. Unbelievable.

It has been a hot early fall, and the weather has finally cooled and everyone is loving it. Last night at the football game - perfect evening, full moon, light jackets. Everyone finally glad that we're having football weather. I haven't seen one person wearing gloves, and all the jackets I've seen have been light.

No, what's really funny is all the jackasses moving here complaining about the heat. Ninety degrees, and it's like death is around the corner. No one complains more than some who have moved from northern states.

:rofl:

They go absolutely loopy when they hear a rumor it may at some point in the next two months spit forth a flake or two of white stuff. Even the remote possibility is enough to empty the grocery stores! I always got such a kick out of the blind panic...

It's insane

And no, we can't frickin handle it! :rofl:

But hey... I sure don't mind the excuse to stay home from work and try to skate on the sidewalk. :D

posted in the wrong place.

no snow-just a 2-3 inch coating of ice on the road. And try getting chains down here, or even a heavy weight good quality coat. I am lucky if I can find thermals in time.:grr: I think we have a reason to piss and moan.

In all fairness-it is almost impossible to walk on ice. Thank goodness I discovered these yak trac, slip-ons, but those I found in NM.

Well I did have on a jacket today because I am sicker than a dog, but other than that I am loving weather. I just wish I could have gotten out and enjoyed it more. My poor head feels like it is going to explode.

So sorry you don't feel well. It was a really nice day too!

Will you please tell me what you think of the bird pic I took today?

(if you feel up to it, ok?):

but I've lived here all my life and I tend to get cold easily. I usually don't bitch or moan about the weather, I just dress accordingly. I don't have a problem with you dressing the way you want, so you shouldn't make fun of the way other people dress. Don't ya think?

I went out shopping last night and took my coat just in case I got cold. there were people wearing shorts and sandals and some people dressed in warmer clothes. And yes it does seem odd that people have different areas they feel comfortable with when dressing for warmer or older weather. Some people are hot natured, while some people are cold natured. I tend to be in the later category. Sorry if that offends you.

One of the main reasons I don't like to drive in icy weather conditions, hard to control the car, and much harder to control someone else's. I've been involved in car accidents due to crazy drivers.

You could move back to Indiana where you would feel more at home.:hi:

I have too much fun in Dallas, picking on Texans!

:evilgrin:

that's what Mad king Boy George is known for. He's a transplant as well:evilgrin:

And it's amazing how many buy into it. Even here on "progressive" DU. Well, I'd better get back on my horse, and ride out on the range to herd some cattle. After that, I'll check my oil wells.

say "Hey" to Chuck Norris while you're at it!

:rofl:

I'm a 5th generation Texan, so I hear what yer sayin'. It boggles the mind how those transplants think they are better than us.

Just look what a few Bushes have done to our state. Spread their shit all over our beloved state, and made things really bad for our reputation.

Gotta run, I need to check on my oil wells as well. That black gold is gettin' me real rich. See ya at Kneemans, where we can purchase us some of them Rhinestones.

You're simply to "ignant" to admit it.

:hide:

Of COURSE I don't think that. Over my lifetime I've lived in six states and two countries and have gotten along okay everywhere. ...Well, there WAS that little stretch in Ohio, but I told the doctor I'd try to not think about that time if I could help it... :evilgrin:

Of course I don't mind the "transplants as long as they can adapt to our environment. After all Texas deprives its name from táysha?, a word in the Caddoan language of the Hasinai, which means "friends" or "allies".

So, I welcome all, however the unfriendliness comes from mostly the "Transplants." I'm kiddin' btw.

I used to get in trouble for being to friendly as a kid. I never understood why. It's just my nature to try and be friendly. I guess I always tried to live up to our state's name.

Ya know I live about 30 to 40 miles west of you. Fort Worth "Where the WEST" begins.:hi:

and those boys are out there workin in hundred-plus degree heat, in hats, jeans, work shirts and boots...

:P

as a resident of a neighboring state, and former resident of another neighboring state, I can say that Texans are anything but weather wusses, especially the ones who work out in the heat.

I've worked out in 110 degree heat in Oklahoma all summer long and it is not for the faint of heart.

I've lived in Utah where we had plenty of cold, cold weather too.

I'd say that this thread is lockable if not just mean.

Ain't nobody in Texas cryin cause someone on teh inturnetz called 'em a weather wuss.

:rofl:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

seen work in their air conditioned offices, air conditions construction vehicle cabs, take their air conditioned car two blocks from their air conditioned house to their air conditioned supermarket.

I'll grant that many do work in extreme conditions, but many more are weather wussies. Me, I don't even have a window in my car, so I certainly don't use air conditioning :)

I have my t-shirts on and the only time I had a jacket on was when we hit the upper 30's about a week an a half ago. SO's yer muddah.

...born, raised and still living in Houston (yes, I love this town!) I'll stick to my mantra:

I'd rather sweat than shiver! :)

And here's to another Houston lover! Everyone thinks I'm nuts for missing my hometown!:hi: :toast:

I always figure "I can add more layers, but once you're down to your skivvies, you're done!" :-)


And yes, I do have the stupid fur hat with the earflaps. I only wear it when hunting, though. It lives in my car otherwise in case of emergencies...

:-)

I haven't had a coat or jacket or even a sweater on yet.

But then I don't much mind being cold, even though I do complain. :)

If God had intended for Texans to ski,
he would have made bull shit white.

That paper weight (found in Vegas)graced this Texan's desk for many years.

..until I went to a U of Texas football game in late October. Like any sturdy midwesterner, I was perfectly comfortable in a light jacket.

So, I mean really.

native Illinoisan who has put up with wimpy Texans and their yearly COLD WEATHER BLAST (temps in 40's and 50's) for DECADES

until you are in S. CA and the temp drops to the 60's ---- I turn into a crazy person trying to find all the sweaters I can wear.

My family is from El Salvador and a lot of them thought LA was so cold when they first came. I've lived in LA my whole life and I'm not cut out for anything below 70.

i hate the heat and humidity and mosquitoes of summer. when the temp gets below 70 i am very happy to the disgust of most of my co-workers.

I'm a native Texan, and I don't love the heat and humidity in my part of the state at all. I'm a cool/cold weather lover so the time of year when the weather starts cooling off is one of my favorite times of the year.

I've lived in, or spent significant amounts of time in every state.

:P

I'm a lifelong Texan. Just moved to Wisconsin. Bring on the snow, baby!

:woohoo:
