It looks like RAIN!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

I'm going to run outside and wash my car and turn on the sprinklers real fast. If I have time when I'm done I'll do a rain dance. :D

Wish me luck. We really need the rain!

[Not_Giving_Up]

1. We got a light shower earlier

It's been thundering over here for over an hour, but no wet stuff yet. Good luck!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

3. I'll try and send some your direction

When I do the rain dance. Don't blame me if you get a flood, I do have some moves. :)

[Not_Giving_Up]

6. The sky is getting dark

Maybe it will finally rain. Good job!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

12. Thanks!

I'm going to have to break out the Icy Hot later, but it's worth it. :)

[Not_Giving_Up]

36. Still no rain

:shrug: Sky is dark as hell though.

[GOPisEvil]

2. Send it this way! Please!

We got a quick shower on Monday, but my yard needs more!!!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

4. Your wish is my command

Let's see... If I wiggle my hip to the left just a bit more.. There that should hit ya. :)

[GOPisEvil]

13. Hey - watch that hip wigglin'!

I'm at work. Have to maintain composure. ;)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

15. LOL!

Don't complain if it gets you some rain!

[GOPisEvil]

16. I might do a happy dance, even if I have to run errands in it.

:D

[Lone_Star_Dem]

21. If it rains there go outside and play in it

It's always good to keep your co-workers off guard. They're less likely to take advantage of you that way. ;)

[GOPisEvil]

22. They might avoid me outright!

:think:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

24. Nah

But they will look at you with new eyes, that I guarantee. :D

[GOPisEvil]

25. I'll be "that weird guy who dances in the rain".

However, the rain has 50 minutes or I'll be dancing on my own time.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

35. *sigh*

Where I am I'm the weird one no matter what I do. I just like to reinforce their image of me from time to time.

[GOPisEvil]

37. I think it would raise a few eyebrows if I went out and danced in the rain

Not amongst my friends as much as my co-workers though. But sometimes it's good to give them a mental goose! ;)

[Avalux]

5. Lucky you!

I'm in San Antonio, and looking at the radar, there's rain above and below but none here. :cry:

We haven't had a drop since May.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

8. I saw that

I'm just above Austin where that rather large storm is brewing. :bounce:

It usually seems like you guys get all the rain while I watch my yard turn into a dust bowl.

[ceile]

19. Is it headed to Austin?

We sure could use a storm like the other night. Beautiful!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

20. It looks like this cell may rain out before it reaches you

There are others cropping up that may get to you, however.

[Richardo]

7. You in Houston? It's coming DOWN here.

:bounce:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

10. There are some coastal showers stirring up too

Dayum! I'm good at this rain dance thing! :D

[Not_Giving_Up]

17. That's good to know

I'm in Pearland, maybe it's heading my way!

[babylonsister]

9. Have faith! It's been raining in

Houston for the past hour plus. My water bill thanks the weather gods!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

14. There's nothing like a good thunder and lightening storm for your lawn

The lightening actually helps free up nitrogen in the atmosphere and the rain delivers it to the ground. Free fertilizer!

[RubyDuby in GA]

11. I'd give anything in the world to trade with you

We've had rain every freakin' day for god knows how long now. At least no one says 'but we need the rain' anymore.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

18. I'm so sorry...

That's how it is here, either feast of famine. Right now we're starving.

[GOPisEvil]

23. By the way, this rain is Jimmy Jazz' fault!

[Texasgal]

26. RAIN? WHERE?

CAn I go outside and pull my bra off yet?

[GOPisEvil]

29. You need rain for that?

:evilgrin:

[Texasgal]

32. Well...no....

Usually a coupla beers will do it!

But RAIN? Hell, I'll even take my panties off for that! :P

[Lone_Star_Dem]

30. Depends on where you are...

Currently one hand is on my clasp and the other on the doorknob

Here's what I'm talking about

27. Washing your car *is* a rain dance.

I suspect the broad, wiping moves just happen to mimic the real rain dances, and that's why they always... you know.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

31. I've long suspected as much

Just in case, I left the car parked in the driveway. It's begging for some water spots.

[u4ic]

28. It's rained here every day for at least a week

maybe 10 days, and will again now, as the clouds roll in. The pattern is usually the same, bright and sunny in the am, then storms in the pm.

The past 3 days in a row, there's been a beautifully bright double rainbow outside the front door.

Sounds like it's needed way down south!

[GOPisEvil]

33. Yeah, we need rain badly.

We could stand a few days in a row actually.

[Texasgal]

38. We may get lucky!

[GOPisEvil]

39. That's nice! Looks like it's fizzling out a bit though.

We almost got sammiched!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

34. Could we set up a bucket brigade from you to me?

It would really be a great help with my water bill. :D

[u4ic]

41. I'd be glad to help with your precipitation needs

you do realize, however, at some point it will be snow. :D

[Lone_Star_Dem]

42. The winter is our rainy season

So we won't be needing it then.

We do get snow where I live, well, sort of. I'm in an elevated part of the state and once a year we see this wet white stuff that falls from the sky. We know it's snow because it's not beating the heck out of our cars the way hail does. It's something we've been known to stay up all night to see fall and it hardly ever last more than a few hours after sunrise. :D

[u4ic]

43. Do you get enough for snowball fights?

One hasn't LIVED until one's had a good snowball fight. :bounce:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

44. Sure we do!

If you don't mind some dirt and gravel mixed in. I find it adds to the value of a direct hit, myself. :)

We also make lovely snowmen that end up being slightly whiter than the soil color. :P

[ceile]

40. I think I see it!!!

[yellowdogintexas]

45. rained in No Fort Worth today.

and the radar map showed showers and stuff all over the place. But I don't think it actually rained at my house on the South side.

[GOPisEvil]

46. We never got our rain!!!

Just a few drops of spittle! x(

[Texasgal]

47. Those bastids!

Completely missed us!!!

ARRRRGGG!!! My water bill is gonna be atrocious!

[u4ic]

48. Was there a cherry pit, too?

I didn't think it went THAT far...:blush:

[GOPisEvil]

49. It got dark, the wind picked up...and it never rained.

:(

[u4ic]

50. I guess my joke didn't make it that far, either

:D

[GOPisEvil]

52. I missed it.

Whooooooooooosh! Right over my head! :D

[texanwitch]

51. We got a lot for rain in Houston today, rained on and off all day.

Hope the rest of ya'll get much needed rain soon.:hi:
