- Some Southlake residents believe they are too good for Twin Peaks restaurant. I'm not.
- I bet if you were watching one of the financial channels when the Dow dropped 1,000 points in 15 minutes yesterday, you would have thought the sky was falling.
- And I'll hand it to Jim Cramer, the nutty analyst, who saw that Procter & Gamble was down 30% and yelled, "That can't be right! Buy it!" It quickly corrected itself and shot back up.
- Fox 4 has a new traffic monitoring screen that has shows the flow of traffic around the metroplex (green, yellow, and red moving dashes.) It looks really accurately -- like the iPhone traffic app that uses GPS readings of cars and comparing it to the norm.
- Looked ahead on my jogging trail yesterday to see a four foot snake. That will stop a man in his tracks. And even though I know better, I took a 20 foot loop around him thinking he'd charge me at any second.
- The annual Arizona State Undie Run for charity was last Tuesday. I wonder where a link for that would be? Oh, here.
- There was some CPS case going on up at the courthouse yesterday where, I was told, CPS was seeking to take a kid away from a mom for the fourth or fifth time. And I mean four or five different kids.
- And there were a lot of unhappy deputies out in the hallway who had been subpoenaed to testify.
- This seems to have flown under the radar: Mark Cuban is going to partner with Girls Gone Wild.
- I saw the story on Fox 4 this morning about 10 times concerning a motorcycle crash on Central Expressway last night. But I was so hypnotized by the fact that the bike went a quarter of a mile on its own after the rider fell off that I don't know if he died. (He was racing. Ninja style.)
- Got a court appointed client's case wrapped up in a really good deal yesterday. She left without saying thank you. Happens all the time.
- The Cowboys are set to trade LB Bobby Carpenter. Good riddance. There was nothing more revealing than watching teammates a couple of years ago call him "Barbie" during the filming of Hard Knocks.

Why didn't post something about the students in a California school being chastised for wearing the AMERICAN flag on Cinco de Mayo. It wasn't the students chastising them either...but the adminstration!! RIDICULOUS!! THIS IS AMERICA!

All the experts trying to figure it out, and in the end it's caused by someone who can't spell. I hope all of you who hate the "spelling police" lost a bunch of money today.

NO THANKS!
Barry You did your job,for which you will be paid fairly well. You did your job well that, you owe to your self. Thanks for doing a job you accepted monatry renumeration for should not be expected.
He hasnt died yet...serious condition
I feel your pain about the snake.
I eat raw meat, drive a 4X4 pickup, drag my knuckles and have a hairy back...I spew testoterone like a musk ox and would put a rutting buck to shame...and yet I scream like a little girl and run like Carl Lewis when I come across even the smallest, most harmless garter snake. I once screamed and ran away from a broken fan belt, thinking it was a cobra. My daughters mocked me.
Hold me. I'm scared.
I hate snakes! Samuel L. Jackson was right!

@ the Twin Peaks in Southlake thing...
Sexism, only ugly bitches complain about it.
9:00...too funny! Made my day!
Uh, the iPhone's Google Maps does traffic reports, too. Way before there was an app.
And you're no Rick Perry, Barron. Perhaps you shot carry a gun while jogging? Word is Perry has a fanny pack. Stylin'.

The Dow "only" dropped about 600 points in about 10 minutes. It had been hovering around a 400 point loss for a longtime, then it plunged the 600 points in about 10 minutes. It was weird, I happened to be watching it.
Arizona charity run...Don't the poor also need panties and bras?
Normally a company thanks the customer, not the other way around. Maybe the person that we paid you to represent should thank the tax payers for providing the money. Or maybe you should thank us for paying you. Just because you call the customer a client does not elevate you above other people providing goods and services.
Hate crimes are going without punishment in our county?! this is very scary!!!
The cps case involving the mother with all 4 of her children being taken away from her is crazy! They allowed the child back with the grandmother who lets the mother take the child unsupervised!
This mother is said to be involved with setting up the butal beating that occured in Chico!!!
What does a simple "thank you" cost? Absolutely nothing. What's wrong with offering thanks to someone who has done something to help you, whether or not they have been paid by you. I try to thank people who do things for me,simply because I want to show my appreciation for their help, expertise, or concern for me. I believe it is mannerly to do so. Perhaps "thank you's" should have been exchanged by you and your client. ie:
"Thank you" for your help and expertise in solving my problem, Mr. Green"
"Thank you, mam or sir, for your business, and let me know if I can be of service another time."
Now, how hard or costly was that?

NO THANKS!

I don't get that.
The first half of the equation = doesn't really matter much what the other part of the equation is. It adds up to hot girl. The remainder is trivial
And I can't tell what identifies it as a trailer house, other than it's very narrow. If a gal that good-looking can be bulging out fore and aft, and not knock dishes to the ground in a space that small...well, seems like a keeper!
YES, THANKS!
It's weird that there are posts on here that are against people thanking you for a job well done.
I'm glad I don't know those people.
Being grateful leads to happiness and contentment.
Whomever came up with the concept of "boy shorts" needs to be bitchslapped.
Those are the least sexy undergarments a woman can wear.
The only good snake is a size 13 Tony Lama.
What about the 12 inch Alabama black snake?
I agree about being respectful and saying "thanks". It's just good manners.
Our whole country though is infested with disrespect. The way we talk about our Presidents is disgusting. In some countries such talk would wind folks up in jail.
Maybe it should happen here.
Hot Girl.

*boininininiiiinnnnggggg*
Barry... karma, maybe you will get to be her next court appointed attorney... out of character for you, but don't do her a good job next time!!!!!!!
Barry you whine about not getting told thank you? The police never get told thank you. Basically we get paid for our job as you do.
Southlake should just approve the permit - the restaurant faces Grapevine anyway.
Cuban will come to be judged by the company he keeps.
DAGO:Nobody from Southlake goes to Hooters?Bullshit!
It's good to see the that the foolish tatoos are falling out of favor.Iwould like to see what runs through some of yheir minds that they screwed up and got some.My father told me once that tatoos were on people so one could know how dumb they were without going to the trouble to meet and know them.
RFMT = Wow!
10:20 you are right on. The "client" should be thanking the tax payers for footing her legal bill. You should be thanking the tax payers for paying your salary. Honestly, how many criminal clients do you get that actually pay their own bill? The law is insane. For anyone that doesn't know it, you can get a free lawyer by just signing an affidavit that you can't pay for one yourself. Then you can go and come up with bond money and bond yourself out. This is RIDICULOUS. Law should be change and not let anyone have a court appointed lawyer that is out on bond.
