PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.

Seriously, Billy…it was a pleasure to have met you and for you to have stayed with us. Thank you so much for coming all the way out here to celebrate my birthday. I can’t wait to buy my new light with the gift card you gave me (which was over the top, by the way!). More importantly, I can’t wait for you to come visit for a longer period of time. There’s so much more to see and do here! I miss you!

I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Yeah billy, it was great having you. Sorry for.... well... something.... i think....

Well, since Dani was nice enough to post the things I'd learned in Cincinnati, I'll cover the things I learned in Oklahoma...

-DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH OKLAHOMA...
-I made my ultimate mistake for the trip by violating the first lesson learned...
-Gas sold on the Will Rogers Turnpike has water in it...
-If your truck is not performing like it normally does, check the spark plug wires...
-Oklahoma has a lot of large billboards advertising religious fanaticism...
-There is a point in OK where there are more religious radio stations than country stations...
-When driving home from Ohio, DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH OKLAHOMA...
-If you violate that previous lesson, you shall be punished severely...
-It is not good when a loud bang occurs under your truck and the speedometer begins rocketing down...
-Clinton, OK is actually a town...
-Okay, well, "town" may not be the right word for it...
-"Place"...Clinton, OK is a "place"...
-There is a part called the Transmission Input Shaft...
-Mine no longer works...
-Mine broke...
-BAD...
-Clinton, OK is 5 hours from Lubbock...
-The only place in Clinton, OK to hang out is a truck stop...
-The smallest truck stop in the history of man...
-It doesn't even have magazines for sale...
-Fortunately a ride would be there in 5 hours for me...
-Unfortunately, it was up to me to stay occupied for 5 hours...
-You can't get to Portland, OR from a table in OK...
-I can now replace the oxygen sensors on a car...
-A 1962 Corvette...
-The key is to work on it while the exhaust pipes are still warm...
-I'm now an off-hand expert at the art of pricing classic Corvettes...
-People in OK are not the most talkative to strangers...
-Even when they sit in your truck stop for 5 hours...
-Alone...
-Without explanation...
And last, but not least,
-I have to drive 66 more miles to be out of Oklahoma...
-Next Sunday...

As for the trip ya'll, I had an awesome time and look forward to when I can visit again...and when ya'll can actually visit here. Dani's list is rather accurate as to a lot of the things I learned while there, and I'm rather surprised at some of the things she remembered. Also, wish Jorge luck on learning my magic tricks...

Thanks again ya'll and thank both of your parents for me again. They're parents, so they're supposed to be strange, but they weren't that bad...

PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.

GUYSSS you forgot to mention, that at midnight when you call Liana in bed after seeing Hitch (for the 2nd time ) Liana may sound very sleepy...

What I learned from this phonecall:

Jorge claims Billy is a crackhead.

Jorge cant drive.

Dani says "wow" a lot when being in a car with Jorge and Billy.

Jorge isn't very talkative.

Liana cannot talk on the phone to a car full of rowdy fpillians at 12AM.

Sounds like you guys had a great time...now, where's the pictures?!?!?!

And Dani, you should thank me. *doesnt mention how she was a spy*

Jeez Billy I'm sorry you had to go through all that! Didn't we warn you to go around OK on your way home?! Those are some valuable lessons learned

Where are the pics, you ask? In Texas, on Billy's camera. He took them all and I haven't seen any of them yet either, other than scrolling through them on the camera. Hurry up and post them!!! ] And yes, that does INCLUDE the pic of the 3 of us. Sorry

Oh, and... I KNEW IT! *points at Liana* I knew you were at least a, if not THE spy

I've learned something too

--liana never calls me or picks up the phone when i call her

*runs into the same problem as timmay*

As for the pics, I'll get them straightened out this week. Got a killer week at work, so it'll take me a little longer than normal...

PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.

well, you must be cooler than me, because you've talked to her!! I must be a bum

Well Daniel doesn't even get the phone numbers.

So when was the last time anyone called me? Huh? Answer me that! :#(

Hey whetu i tried remember? and my phone kept going psycho...gonna have to try again someday when i get a new phone

Billy it sounds like a wonderful trip, minus the break down fiascos...

Come to Lubbock! If you get here before my truck's fixed, you can see Oklahoma too by giving me a ride there to get it...

PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Tim and Billy...both of you haven't called in ages.
