Well said, Parker! Many sincere thanks to you all for helping to pull me back into the loop from thousands of miles away. My family, at this particular moment, is sitting out of the leasing activities. With that said, I wish all of you nothing but the best in getting the financial rewards that are meant for you and yours. May you all stay healthy and blessed...

There is function to dysfunction.

Well said Rosebud. I intend to have fun until the day that I die! Life is brief and most of the time very serious. It is good to be able laugh with each other, at each other and even at our own foolish selves! Hey, what family isn't dysfunctional? Is there such a thing as a functional family? If so, I sure don't want to be a member of it! LOL

This site has been a true blessing to our family & our countys here in TX ........ Its been so long since I had sign up and really cannot remember how I even found it... Very thankful that I did... Lord, I do belive I stay all from the time I get up until I go to bed, which is very late at nite........There are so many wonderful people here!!!!!! Even though I have not talked to most of you, its still like we are all one Big family! Yes sometimes we all don't get along, but like family we hang in there... Mr. HS , you should be so proud of yourself.. This was such a wonderful idea to come up with a place for people to get information to help them.
Not only did we find out information but meet really sweet folks on here.... All of us here are true hard working folks who never in there wildest dreams thought something likes this would ever happen to us.... Its a true BLESSING! Again from all of us here San Augustine TX want to give all of BIG THANK YOU!!!

Well, that being said, what time should I be at your house this year for Thanksgiving Dinner? and, can I bring Stinky Pete as my date? Seriously, this website has served as my tutor, my lifeline, my entertainment superhighway, and has even bumped up my (borderline non-existent) social life just a tad! In other words, it has been a blessing in itself, although at times it has robbed me of my sleep! ("Wow, is it 3:00 am already?") Thanks for sharing, and don't let this be your last blog. I know there's more good stuff where this came from, Let's hear it!

Parker, Hats off to you for spending countless hours as a researcher and contributer to this site. I could name many others for what they have done also. I for one had a self interest in starting to post, the many other formations that exist besides the Haynesville Shale. I have been fighting with the shalers for nearly 4 years. I didn't know what they were doing at the time it started but when the assignment was made into Encana, the puzzel started to come together. They were buying protection leases around a concept well to be drilled on Boise property (Olympia well in the Big Woods of Sabine Parish). They were buying leases from the surface to China and paying $100 per acre. I was buying from surface to 5,000 ft for less money. One of my lessors told me about GHS and I logged on. I have been here ever since. I am still on my original mission, to inform the members of this website that 3 checks are better than one. Once you sign with the shalers you will never do any buisness with a landman ever again unless you only lease to them the shale. You have many formations above the shale that some other company may want to drill. Do you think that the shalers will ever drill the Fredericksburg? Not in your lifetime. What about the Austin Chalk or the James Lime? That is all mail box money that the shalers will only use for an unproduced asset. Think of what may be below the shale that may hold even more value in the future. I know we are in some down times but the energy future for the USA will look bright in the times to come. Hang onto your hat cause we are in for a rollercoaster ride that will put mega bucks into the pokets of the folks that own minerals in Louisiana.

Cannie,
If we have to figure out who we are in this humongus family, I choose to be the senile Great Aunt. Every family has one. They usually like to stir up trouble and then blame it on someone else!

Golden pencil (but not a golf pencil) award to you, Parker. There are sooooo many here on this site, some close by geographical location, some by interests, some by profession ... and it's just amazing to me how we continue to draw, and hold on to, this spirit. I do believe, even if the shale were to go POOF tomorrow, a lot of us would still be here anyway. And my hats off to you for being the first to lay it on the line like that.

Bravo Parker!!! Thanks for saying all of the sappy stuff we all feel but are to manly to say. . We are indeed a family. We do all the things families do: We fight, we love, we nurture, we berate each other, we encourage and when we need something the other family members answer the call. I think you know what I mean. Thank you.
Now we just have to figure out whose who. Ya know, whose the older brother, little sister, the uncle you don't let kids sit near because he likes making noises, the brother-in-law who always seems to get "over-served" at every family gathering. You get my point. Thank you all and God Bless.
