A Cowboy's World....
Okay, after my little 720 mile round trip to a town called Little Rock Arkansas..... for a thingy called "The Reunion" .... I have decided to move my thread home to the planet.
Even though I was late getting to the Reunion.... I saw faces that I have not seen in a while, and some new faces.... I got to make amends to try and mend a fence that needed to be mended. The atmosphere was a great one.... very peaceful...... very little drama....even that was handled quickly. I will be trying to get some of my old posts over here so the new people coming onto this site, can get to know me. |
Great to see you here, Brother!!! :)
I didn't get to make it to the Reunion this year. For some reason my union local seems to always schedule me for a conference on or within a couple of weeks of the big get-togethers here. Well, I'm going to promise to make the next year's event. Maybe we'll get together then. I hope so. Just wish I could have made it this year, since it was the very first one. Semper Fi, my friend. :):thumbsup: ~Theo~ :bouquet: |
I was so very happy to see you in Little Rock, T.C. :) However, you are STILL on my list for coming to Austin without a cup of coffee with me. :fastdraq:Grin! hug, darlin'!

A Cowboy's World..... the original entry
My original Cowboy's world entry on the "other site" ya'll enjoy
A Cowboi's World....... *chuckles* I figured I would let you all in on who Texas Cowboi is. I know some of you all out there think that all I am about is starting Potty Humor Threads and Lists.... There are a few reasons for posting those threads.... the first one being that with all I have seen and all I have been through, I can't go through life being an Asshole and being bitter all the time... (I"m living proof that being those two things all the time, is hazardous to your health..LOL).... and the second reason is that I use humor to de-escalate a bad day or an arguement or anything of the sort. It has helped Me get through some days that not many could get through. It has also helped Me get through 20 years in EMS and 12 years in LE... without many fights...two to be exact.... ( and for those of you who are wondering, some of those years in EMS and LE...were concurrent....) I started in EMS when I was 15 years old.... and was making life and death decisions immediately....and for years... I was pretty damn good at keeping the emotions from the bad calls bottled up inside... I am still pretty good at hiding things like that....I just chose not to sometimes... Then it all started to hit Me... little by little... piece by piece... dealing with the pain of telling someone you couldnt save their relative.... the pain as you stare at that blank look in a 6 yr old child's eyes, when you are working your ass off to save him, because an ignorant relative left him alone around a swimming pool....and coming home crying only to have your "lover" tell you to leave work at work. the anger you feel at not being given a chance to help that person who just ended their life courtesy of Smith and Wesson.... the pain of seeing the fear in the elderly person's eyes when they just had a stroke and are worried about being able to live a normal life, knowing good and well that you cannot do anything for them but hold their frail hand... and the pain of carrying a body-with the heroin needle still stuck in her arm- out of an apartment, and that body was that of a friend you had just been out havin fun with three hours earlier.... the pain of seeing and kissing your lover on friday night, only to get up for work and see on the headline news saturday morning, that she has been killed by her jealous ex...courtesy of Smith and Wesson ** I guess what I"m trying to get at with all of this... is when you see someone who is being an asshole...or is being bitter... or you see a police officer, paramedic or firefighter laughing at something you think is inappropriate....take the time to think about what that person may or may not have been through.... yes, some are assholes by nature... some are not... some are only assholes as a means of protection...some people use humor as a means of laughing so you dont cry...I, Myself, chose to use My sense of humor as a means to lighten things up... Here is a little bit of something I wrote during some of those really dark times in My life... Why do play games with each other? For their own amusement? Or for the realm of thoughts they create? Thoughts of emptiness, like the emptiness of death, the overwhelming feeling as a loved one is lowered into the ground, knowing you'll never see her face again, Only bits and pieces fading in and out in the pages of your memory. Thoughts of remembering the last look of emtiness as the door is closed for the last time. Thoughts of loneliness, the feeling that comes over you as you look back through time and picture that person, as you remember, those precious tender moments, the ones you'll never have again. Thoughts of destruction, like that of a flood of thunderclouds building, raining, and pouring, until finally the rumble of those imminent clouds sends the water crashing , rolling downhill, gaining momentum as it wipes out everything in it's path. Thoughts of pain as you picture the person who thrust a knife of pain deep inside you, thrust deep inside your body and soul, tearing up your insides, tearing up your mind, twisting and turning as it leaves nothing left to live, nothing left that can live. copywritten by TexasCowboi ** anyways, thats just a little taste of Me...and who I am... the things I talked about above, have made Me who I am today... sometimes cynical, sometimes an asshole, sometimes very very bitter... and sometimes hilarous.... This was not meant to depress anyone and it was not meant to be a Pity Party or anything like that..... as I said earlier, its just an insight as to what made Me who I am today... and no, I will not stop with the Potty Humor Threads, unless I am asked to do so by Dusa or Jack. **The Original Cowboi** |
MOUSE TRAPS HURT!!!!
OK.... so mousetraps hurt.... not as bad as rat traps right....
well, me, in my infinite wisdom, got some mousetraps for my dog..... she keeps getting up on the table and the counters, and I had to stop her somehow... because raising my voice with her makes her cower and pee.... so I go to put these mouse traps up on the edge of the counter so when her unsuspecting paws get up on the counter, she gets a surprise. the First night goes ok.... only 3 traps triggered out of 12 traps set. I go to move the traps the next day, and one snaps onto my finger which of course, led to me jumping and then 5 of the traps went off, causing me to look like a cat on a cactus trying to get away from traps as they were going off. you had to be there.... I was hysterical from laughter when everything settled down..... |

... ya know TC... i think if you put in some new post instead.... the fence might stand up longer.. and ........ for your Cowboy world here is a song just for you.. :) ;) |

Why do I get this image of the dog snickering and whispering, "Dance, Cowboi, I said DANCE!" |
Hi Cowboy. Here's a little thing that helped me keep a dog off the counters. Take an empty soup can or any comparable can, dump the contents, get a few rocks, marbles or something that will make noise, put them inside the can, tape the lid back on. Next time that pup puts those lil paws on the table or counter, get that can, shake it and roll it at them, works like a charm.

TC!!!
I am so glad you came in here to share!! I think you should tell everyone about Lucky and Shitty Kitty and your horses and the new dogs!! OH OH and tell them about the Midol Salt Lick and how it always got you in trouble... Good to see you back!!! |
Hey TC!!
I totally 'get you'. I am super weird in my humor at times, and it comes from a place of pain way down deep inside, the pain of 'the suffering of others'. Got some irreverent stories from my own medical work experiences of the last 30 years that would curl your hair. It's how we deal! Rock on!! :bowdown::lips: |
Good advice DomnNC...you can also use a soda can, or empty pill bottle. One other thing that works good is a choke collar, keep in in your pocket and when he misbehaves throw it at him, aim for his butt. The important thing is to not let him see you throw it.

This is gonna sound kinda stoopid, but how often do you walk her and who leads? Sounds like you need to remind her who is the pack leader, boundaries and limitations. Get Caesar Melan's book, or watch his show, it's cheeper.
PS it is so good to see you posting again! |
I'm a big old fan of the squirt bottle...
We have five cats and they mind me 90% of the time... It would be 100%, but I live with a soft hearted butch who thinks bad behavior is cute... I, on the other hand, am not amused with trying to get a cat out of the sink so I can brush my teeth... How does the old saying go? I would rather be obeyed out of love, but if I can't be loved, then I would be feared... |
MOUSE TRAPS!!!! LOTS OF THEM!!!! THEY WORK FOR KEEPING DOGS OFF OF TABLES, AND COUNTERS AND ANY OTHER SURFACES YOU WANT THEM OFF OF....NOW ALL I HAVE TO DO IS TO SHOW HER A MOUSE TRAP, AND SHE RUNS TO HER KENNEL.... THE ONLY REASON ANYONE WOULD BE SNICKERING AND SAYING "DANC, COWBOI I DANCE" WOULD BE BECAUSE THEY ARE DANCING FROM THE RAT TRAPS i WILL PUT UP AT THAT POINT! *SMILES INNOCENTLY*

Well.....apparently it has been over a year since I've posted anything in here......wow.....what can I say..... I've been a busy busy Cowboi.....
Another year has passed, this year I actually got off my ass, took a few days off work and went to the Republic of Texas Motorcycle Rally..... I RODE my bike 4 hours to Austin Texas.... and did not trailer my bike like a lot of others do because they cant take the time in the saddle.... a few minutes after I turned Xena southbound on US 281, I smelled the scrub cedar.....then my silly grin got to flappin in the wind....... I forgot how much I enjoyed riding..... 1450cc's of an American iron horse.... fuckin' rocks..... well.... my grin was flappin' in the wind until I got a few bugs in my teeth!.... LOL.... oh well.... thats the price ya pay when ya ride......spit 'em out and kept going.... for those of you who don't know me.... the smell of cedar is like the smell of home.... that, and the hint of cow poop with a touch of horse poop.... oh, and I cant forget the smell of fresh bale of Coastal hay..... I will also get off my ass and take a few days off for the Reunion.....and I am very much looking forward to seeing everyone at the Reunion.... just gonna have fun and take in the sights.... maybe go visit a landmark or two in Little Rock..... |
took two weeks off of work to show someone special around the state of Texas..... one of our adventures landed Me in the ER at an Austin area trauma center because of a direct hit from two double barreled horse kicks.... got kicked, knocked down and popped right back up..... kinda..... walked around with a few big-assed bruises and some cracked bones....walking around like I had a huge cactus pad stuck onto my backside...... who else can take a hit like that and still get up.... much less walk away from it? not many that I know of.....
anyways, pynkkameleon helped me a great deal during this.... even stared at me until I agreed to go to an ER.... I wasnt going to go, as I might be seen by others wearing that silly little hospital gown..... anyways again, I'm ok now.... walk with a hitch in my get-a-long..... a HUGE KUDOS to the staff at Brackenridge ER.... great job from those folks there.... |
What TC failed to mention is that He not only got back up right away but He also managed to get through the next several hours without one complaint or making a face until we could get to the ER.. despite clearly being in pain and discomfort. 2 cracked bones! Yikes! Serious stuff but also so thankful that it wasn't any worse!
I also have to share TC that watching you and Peyote bond with one another after she had her jealous fit was amazing to witness. A very moving and spiritual interaction in my opinion. Texas is such a beautiful place. I will be counting the days until I can come back and explore more... Thank you! |

02Jul13.....so...... I seemed to have found a new level of ballistic/impact protection..... okay, okay.... let me start from the beginning......
In my infinite wisdom..... no... no.....let me start again..... I am not losing my better judgment.... I knew full well what I was getting into, I just had trouble remembering how much it hurt.... I was raising the artform of flying through the air, to a new level..... A few weeks ago, I went out and bought a cheap pair of roller skates..... when one does this, there comes a time when you actually have to skate..... you know, put the skates on and go skating.... where the wheels on the skate actually roll.... and...well, I did this at the ripe age of .... well.... let's just put it this way, before this past Saturday afternoon, I had not been skating....(on roller skates.... the old fashioned 4-wheel kind)....in almost 30 years....(those of you who know me, already know where this is going).... I finally worked up the nerve to go to an actual skating rink where I sat down, took off my shoes and put on my skates, laced them up and smiled..... then I realized I had to roll over to the rack to put my shoes in the little cubby hole..... after slowly rolling over to the cubby hole, without falling yet, I managed to place my shoes in the little easy to reach section...... Now, with my new found confidence, chuckling at all the little kids that were rolling around, falling down and promptly getting back up, my thought was this...."if I fell, I wouldn't.... I mean, WHEN I fall, I hope I can get back up that quickly".... gliding along cautiously..... getting faster and more confident, I start a few cross-overs in my turns..... and about 45 minutes into my new found confidence in a cross-over, it happened..... a little too much confidence too quickly, my wheels clipped and I went air-born..... the hang-time left a lot to be desired, I've done better..... I hugged the floor with the enthusiasm of a little kid at Christmas time... My arm folded up underneath me as I slid a few more feet, but not before My right boob tried to punch a hole through the floor and a squeak emanated from the air rushing out of my lungs..... I don't think I felt too much crepitus from my rib-cage as I popped back up and continued on my merry way.... I think I heard a lady ask me if I was okay... she was skating for her 50th birthday..... as of today, I continue to nurse my rib-cage and brace for the sneezing or coughing...."sneeze-squeak" or "cough-moan".... what do I do?..... go out and get a pair of faster skates and padded undergarments..... maybe next time I'll post a video.... although, this one would make my running buddy, Jean, proud... I think she would have actually asked me if I was okay before she started laughing at me.... |
10Aug13....
Me to 75yr old female patient: do you know the biggest lie that paramedics tell people? Pt : no. What? Me: you're gonna feel a little stick. Its not a little stick....it's a big stick. Pt: THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID! Me: *blink* |

LOL.... yup...... although.... my latest roller skating adventures were rather bland...... still havent worked up the nerve to do very many crossovers... unless you count the accidental one when I tried to go to the bathroom in my roller skates.... try explaining THAT one to the paramedics!?! oh well..... it's a very useful cardio and leg workout.... gotta do something to help get me ready for my road races later on this year.... My first full marathon will be in November up in Tulsa and somewhere around then, I'm running in two half marathons and a number of mud runs.... and yes, Helga will come out to play |
Well.....this morning, I did My third Half Marathon since I started running again a few years back.... it was by far, my ugliest "run"..... between the 03:44:32 time and hobbling a good deal of the course...... I made a new friend in a woman named Mary..... she kept me going by "stalking me" for about 10 miles of the course.... kept me from slowing down even more, because I didn't want her to pass me..... Mary passed me at about mile 11-12ish....and went on to finish the race way ahead of me.... yet she waited at the finish line to shake my hand and thank me for "keeping her going for 10 miles of the race"...... That, my friends is a runner and that is sportsmanship....
|
More Running....
My times are, by no means, in the speed demon division..... in fact, my times, on a good day, can barely beat a herd of turtles stampeding through molasses....
I recently ran in one of our local running events called The Challenge. I did the 5k run on Saturday and the Half Marathon on Sunday. Those runs were not pretty, but..... I was still moving forward at the end of the runs...... The atmosphere was great.... I had great company along both routes and saw more great sportsmanship in both of these races...... This makes a total of 4 half marathons and I don't know how many 5k runs I've done..... but thanks to all of my running buddies.... I've got a total of 10 more races to do this year, to include 5 more half marathons, a full marathon and a few 10k's.... oh.... btw I got ALL of them back because I signed up for The Great Bull Run.... 100 yard dash with a buncha bulls chasing ya! I signed up so they all followed suit.... |
The Great Bull Run is in the books...... came out of that unscathed.... well.... maybe a few bruises from the biggo Tomato Royale (a tomato fight) afterwards.... but all in all.... it was THE most fun I've had in the past several years!!!!
And thennnnn there was the Big D Half marathon the next day.... ugh.... it's not exactly comfy running 13.1 miles in cold, wet, soggy shoes.... it kinda sucked actually....... The only bright sides to that were my running buddies and the fact that the Big D brought me up to the minimum requirements to get into the Half Fanatics club.... 3 half marathons within 90 days.... I did 'em in 43 days..... Now, onto the Chisholm Trail Run/Ride 33 mile bike ride and maybe another half marathon in a few weeks..... IF it's not raining.... At least the bike ride will be interesting... I"ve never ridden a bike with "clips" for pedals..... advice anyone? |
