Or give a moose a muffin, or a pig a pancake. Great quote from the renouned author Numeroff, who writes contemporary works we might liken to modern fables along the lines of classic Aesop. I know what you've been reading at bedtime. Gotta love it! :)

My childhood favorite book was actually "everybody poops" (the illustrations are superb) its what I like to call a primitive analogoy to the phrase "...and your s$%t don't stink" which brings me back to a favorite cause the lack of sanitation and the proliferation of disease, infant mortality and matricide in the 3rd world....

I agree, give MC her own photo folder. Even though I sometimes didn't completely understand the text, National Geographic could mesmerize me for hours as a kid.

Now, back to the books, and off topic ... I see all the "closet" children's book readers coming out. Funny, I'd rather read most of those than some adult stuff. Maybe it's the simplicity & truth in the message. How about Jack Prelutsky (wild & crazy), Jan Brett (illustrations), even good old fashioned Dr. Seuss? Okay, adult swim!

That & Charlie Brown Christmas, clamation series "Rudolph," Frosty the Snowman." Funny story. When my brother-in-law was little and fist saw the Frosty show, it aired on his birthday. When Frosty came to life & yelled "Happy Birthday" he thought Frosty was speaking to him personally. Now he can't live it down.

I think if the networks ever tried to take those off the air, die hard fans would go looking, with shotguns, for the Grinch that made that call.

I agree that some picture are somewhat frivolous to the mission of GoHaynesville members. However, we are in a period of stagnation and there is not much to talk about. We seem to be moving into a time when we just need to simply stay in contact with one another through example: Spout off and Politics discussions.


We need two sections for photos or put a shelf life (delete) on the entertainment photos.

I agree that things are getting a little stagnant. I am ready for a little more excitement myself. All these rigs are going up around me and units being formed. All I can say is "when's it my turn?" lol
On a side note, how much space is needed to build a pad site? O&G can use my property....we'll be more than happy to sell it to them and then they can tear down the house to build a pad site. At least we wouldn't have to fix it up to sell it. People across the street are selling their house..the O&G company could use it for the parking. It's easily accessible from a major hwy (Hwy 1) plus it's on a dead end street. Now, the neighbors may not care too much about all the noise. Hey...it could happen.
