Looking to maybe get back in here... Looks like pretty strong support here around 12.50... Will it hold is the big question???

Keywest Energy and Luke energy to name two. Both pinkies and both sold out to intermediate energy companies in the last 5-6 years making me a great return on my investment. And I'm banking on Hemi Energy blowing the doors off the other two... But, time will tell....

Here is a good website with tons of information on the Barnett shale.

http://startelegram.typepad.com/barnett_shale/

Kels,
Just curious to know if, while you and Craig were out driving around the leases, you ever inquired about the daily oil production on any of the wells you observed? That would have been my first thought when I observed the tanker making the pick-up at the Tebbens site. TIA

I thought Hillzman was referring to the Sabine county leases. I mentioned this lease on the board a couple of weeks ago and the only response I received was a response (link) from Badge714 which showed zero production from gas wells in Sabine County. But, maybe we're on the border of Sabine County and closer to those prolific producers.
By the way, whatever happened to the gas wells Keith spoke of in the June or July, 2007, interview with Richard, from Wallstreet.net, that produced from 1 to 3 mcf per day. Seemed to fall between the cracks... Were these in Montgomery County???

Thanks Hillzman,
That goes back a ways... When I think of Texas, I think of the Barnett shale... Thanks again for the tip on Hemi Energy... I think it'll be a winner...

If my memory serves me correctly, in his (Keith's) June, 2007, interview with "Richard" from wallstreet.net, "you could spend upwards of 4 million dollars drilling a well in the Barnett Shale and aren't assured of producing anything"... Based on that, I wouldn't hold my breath...
Don't get me wrong... I'm probably one of Hemi's largest shareholders. That you can bank on!!! I think this is the best domestic oil company to be in at the time and I'm behind them all the way. But, if deployed properly, they could inflict some serious pain on the opposition.

I couldn't agree with you and duelittle2 any more than I do... But, 1.2 million dollars would go a long way towards beating these guys at their own game... I would agree that these are exciting times and would definately agree that we won't be drilling any wells in Texas with the money... I don't think anyone is planning on that!!!

Speaking about the 1.2 million dollars Hemi Energy has or may have coming from the insurance claim. What would that do to the MM's (auto in particular) if they were to buy back 20 million shares at the current PPS of .06.... If handled correctly, Keith could be weilding a bat as opposed to his stick..... Any other thoughts?????

Just went back and read Z-guys post for the third time and something keeps jumping out at me.

"In Sabine County, TX, Hemi has 360 acres with 3 adjacent oil and gas leases. Wells in Shelby County that are about 4 miles to the north average over 2,000 mcf/day. The average well is producing over $400,000 per month when using $7/mcf. These gas wells and gas fields have a slow rate of decline and have an economical life of over ten years".

This is some serious cash for one well... I was curious to know if anyone knows how deep they had to drill to achieve this kind of production and what kind of well spacing was needed.

Those were good days indeed. The old penny a day churn. It worked great and seemed to be very sustainable. Then we were inundated by the speculators who drove it to 3-4 cents a day. Then, once the money manipulators took control, it was all history. One point that Coydog made in his message Mur posted (and one that I agree with) is if this thing goes crazy like it did the last time, I'll be a seller. Hopefully we can maintain some stability this time around and find our fair market value and build on it...

MEN vs. WOMEN

A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.

A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.

Married men live longer than single men, but married men are a lot more willing to die.

Any married man should forget his mistakes, there's no sence in two people remembering the same thing.

Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change

Redneck's dog
.
One hot summer day, a redneck came to town with his
dog, tied it under the shade of a tree, and headed
into the bar for a cold one.

Twenty minutes later, a policeman entered the bar and
asked, "Who owns the dog tied under that tree
outside?"

The redneck said it was his.

"Your dog seems to be in heat" the officer said.

The redneck replied, "No way. She's cool 'cause she's
tied up under that shade tree."

The policeman said, "No! You don't understand. Your
dog needs to be bred."

"No way," said the redneck. "That dog don't need
bread. She ain't hungry 'cause I fed her this
mornin'."

The exasperated policeman said, "NO! You don't
understand; your dog wants to have sex!"

(You gotta love this)

The redneck looked at the cop and said, "Well, go
ahead. I always wanted a police dog."

If one looks at page 20 of this report, it states that Keith owns 16,124,700 shares which comes out to 23% of the O/S. That would put the O/S at 70 million shares. I keep seeing 55 Million as the O/S. Does anyone know the real number or was the report incorrect???? TIA

Farmer John

John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called "pullets", and ten roosters, whose job it was to fertilize the eggs (for you city folks).

The farmer kept records and any rooster that didn't perform went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of his time, so he bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone so John could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing.

Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells. The farmer's favorite rooster was old Butch, and a very fine specimen he was, too.

But on this particular morning John noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! John went to investigate.

The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.

But to Farmer John's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He would sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.

John was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.

The result...The judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.

Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making: Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention.

Top Ten Idiots!!!
Idiot # 1

I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control center. Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital.

She calmed down, and at the end of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants. I told her that she better bring her daughter into the Emergency room right away.

Here's your sign lady. Wear it with pride.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Idiot # 2

Seems that a year ago, some Boeing employees on the airfield decided to steal a life raft from one of the 747s. They were successful in getting it out of the plane and home.

When they took it for a float on the river, a Coast Guard helicopter coming towards them surprised them. It turned out that the chopper was homing in on the emergency locator beacon that activated when the raft was inflated.

They are no longer employed at Boeing. Here's your sign guys. Don't get it wet, the paint might run.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Idiot # 3 - A true story out of San Francisco

A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the branch and wrote "This is a stick up. Put all your muny in this bag."

While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the teller's window. So he left the Bank of America and crossed the street to Wells Fargo.

After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and, surmising from his spelling errors that he wasn't the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America.

Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, "OK" and left. He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America.

Don't bother with this guy's sign. He probably couldn't read it anyway.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Idiot # 4

A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later received in the mail a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car.

Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40.

Several days later, he received a letter from the police that contained another picture, this time of handcuffs.

He immediately mailed in his $40.

Another sign (though this guy might be onto something worth thinking about)!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Idiot # 5

Guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf.

He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but the cashier refused and said, "Because I don't believe you are over 21." The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because he didn't believe him.

At this point the robber took his driver's license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk.
The clerk looked it over, and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and he put the scotch in the bag.

The robber then ran from the store with his loot. The cashier promptly called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license. They arrested the robber two hours later.

Remind me to have more signs printed up. Give this guy his!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Idiot # 6

A pair of Michigan robbers entered a record shop nervously waving revolvers. The first one shouted, "Nobody move!" When his partner moved, the startled first bandit shot him.

This guy doesn't need a sign, he probably figured it out himself.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Idiot # 7

Arkansas: Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window.

The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. Seems the liquor store window was made of Plexi-Glass. The whole event was caught on videotape.

Oh, that smarts. Give him his sign!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Idiot # 8

Ann Arbor: The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan at 12:50 A.M., flashed a gun and demanded cash.

The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn't open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren't available for breakfast. The man, frustrated, walked away.

Please note that these people are allowed to vote!

Two hunters from Michigan
(true story)

This is from a radio program, a true report of an incident in Michigan:

A guy buys a brand new Lincoln Navigator for $42,500 and has $560 monthly payments. He and a friend go duck hunting in winter, and of course all the lakes are frozen. These two guys go out on the lake with the guns, the dog, and of course the new vehicle. They drive out onto the lake ice and get ready.

Now, they want to make some kind of a natural landing area for the ducks, something for the decoys to float on. In order to make a hole large enough to look like something a wandering duck would fly down and land on, it is going to take a little more effort than an ice hole drill.

So, out of the back of the new Navigator comes a stick of dynamite with a short, 40-second fuse. Now these two Rocket Scientists do take into consideration that they want to place the stick of dynamite on the ice at a location far from where they are standing (and the new Navigator), because they don't want to take the risk of slipping on the ice when they run from the burning fuse and possibly go up in smoke with the resulting blast. They light the 40-second fuse and throw the dynamite.

Remember a couple of paragraphs back when I mentioned the vehicle, the guns and the dog? Let's talk about the dog: A highly trained Black Lab used for RETRIEVING. Especially things thrown by the owner.

You guessed it, the dog takes off at a high rate of doggy speed on the ice and captures the stick of dynamite with the burning 40-second fuse about the time it hits the ice. The two men yell, scream, wave their arms and wonder what to do now.

The dog, cheered on, keeps coming. One of the guys grabs the shotgun and shoots the dog. The shotgun is loaded with # 8 buckshot, hardly big enough to stop a Black Lab. The dog stops for a moment, slightly confused, but continues on. Another shot and this time the dog, still standing, becomes really confused and of course terrified, thinking these two geniuses have gone insane.

The dog takes off to find cover, under the brand new Navigator. ----BOOM!---- Dog and
Navigator are blown to bits and sink to the bottom of the lake in a very large hole, leaving the two idiots standing there with this "I can't believe this happened" look on their faces.

The insurance company says that sinking a vehicle in a lake by illegal use of explosives is not covered. He still had yet to make the first of those $560 a month payments!

And you thought your day was not going well?

That's what I was afraid of... Guess I won't be requesting mine... Thanks WES...

Just a little curious about this cert. thing. Can you request your certificates without jacking up your IRA account? Do we actually receive the certificates or are they held in our accounts??? TIA

The old farmer had a large pond in the back, fixed up nicely;
picnic tables, barbecue pit, horseshoe courts, along with some apple and peach trees.

The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming when it
was built.

One evening, the old guy decided to go down to the pond and
look it over. He hadn't been there for a while. He grabbed a five gallon bucket to bring back some fruit.
As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing
with glee.
As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women
skinny dipping in his pond. As he approached, he made the women aware of his presence.
At once, they all went to the deep end. One of the women shouted
to him, "We're not coming out until you leave."
The old man frowned, "I did not come down here to watch you youngladies swim naked, or to make you get out of the pond naked."
Holding up the bucket, he said, "I'm here to feed the alligator."

Having a bad day????

In a hospital’s Intensive Care Unit, patients always died in the same bed, on Sunday morning, at about 11:00 a.m., regardless of their medical condition.

This puzzled the doctors and some even thought it had something to do with the supernatural. No one could solve the mystery as to why the deaths occurred around 11:00 a.m. on; Sunday, so a worldwide team of experts was assembled to investigate the cause of the incidents.

The next Sunday morning, a few minutes before 11:00 a.m., all of the doctors and nurses nervously waited outside the ward to see for themselves what the terrible phenomenon was all about. Some were holding wooden crosses, prayer books, and other holy objects to ward off the evil spirits.

Just when the clock struck 11:00, Pookie Johnson, the part-time Sunday sweeper, entered the ward and unplugged the life support system so he could use the vacuum cleaner.

Having a Bad Day????

The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez Oil spill in Alaska was $80,000.00. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were being released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers.

A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate them both.

Still think you are having a Bad Day????

A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen shaking frantically, almost in a dancing frenzy, with some kind of wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current, she whacked him with a handy plank of wood, breaking his arm in two places.

…Up until that moment, he had been happily listening to his new Walkman.

STILL think you’re having Bad Day????

Two animal rights defenders were protesting the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn, Germany. Suddenly, all two thousand pigs broke loose and escaped through a broken fence, stampeding madly.

The two helpless protesters were trampled to death.

What?? STILL having a Bad Day????

Iraqi terrorist Khay Rahnajet didn’t pay enough postage on a letter bomb, so it came back to him with “Return to Sender” stamped on it. Forgetting the envelope contained his own bomb, he opened it …and was blown to bits.

There now, feeling better????

You can always tell a bureaucrat, but you can't tell him much.

A State Highway employee stopped at a farm to talk with an old Iowa farmer.
He told the farmer, "I need to inspect your farm for a possible new road."

The old farmer said, "OK, but you can't go in that field over there."

The Highways employee said, "I have the authority of the State of Iowa to go where I want. See this card? I am allowed to go wherever I wish on your farm land."

So the old farmer went on about his farm chores.

Later, he heard loud screams and saw the State Highways employee running for the fence
and close behind was the farmer's prize bull. The bull was madder than a nest full of
hornets and the bull was gaining on the employee at every step!!

The old farmer called out, "Show HIM your card!!"

Do you have this condition?


In the past, I called this procrastination - now I know this clinical
name!

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated
Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the porch table that I
brought up from the mailbox earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can
under the table, and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage
first.

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out
the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my checkbook off the table, and see that there is only 1check
left.

My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to
my desk where I find the can of Coke I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside
so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The Coke is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to
keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the
counter catches my eye - they need water.

I put the Coke on the counter and discover my reading glasses that I've
been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water
the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water
and suddenly spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the
remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen
table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first
I'll water the flowers. I pour some water in the flowers, but a bit of
it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the
spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:

- the car isn't washed

- the bills aren't paid

- there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter

- the flowers don't have enough water,

- there is still only 1 check in my checkbook,

- I can't find the remote,

- I can't find my glasses,

- and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really
baffled because I know I was busy all day, and I'm really tired. I
realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it,
but first I'll check my e-mail.

D o me a favor. Forward this message to everyone you know, because I
don't remember who the hell I've sent it to.

Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!

GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY.

GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.

LAUGHING AT YOURSELF IS THERAPEUTIC

2006 DARWIN awards


2006 Darwin Awards are here:

In case you have been waiting breathlessly for this year's Darwin Awards----awards are given each year to bestow upon
(the remains or estate of, in most cases) that individual, who through single-minded
self-sacrifice, has done the most to remove undesirable elements from the human gene pool.

Just think... until these events occurred, these same people were walking the streets just like normal people.

SIXTH PLACE: Goes to a San Anselmo , California man
who died when he hit a lift tower at the Mammoth mountain ski area while
riding down the slope on a foam pad. 22-year old David Hubal was pronounced
dead at Central Mammoth Hospital. The accident occurred about 3 a.m., the
Mono County Sheriff's department said. Hubal and his friends apparently had hiked up a ski run called Stump alley and removed some yellow foam protectors from lift towers,
said Lt. Mike Donnelly of the Mammoth Lakes Police Department. The pads are
used to protect skiers who might hit towers. The group apparently used the pads to slide down the ski slope and Hubal crashed into a tower. It has since been investigated and determined the tower he hit was the one with its pad removed.

FIFTH PLACE: Goes to Robert Puelo, 32, was apparently being disorderly in a
St. Louis market. When the clerk threatened to call the police, Puelo grabbed a hot dog, shoved it into his mouth and walked out without paying.Police found him unconscious in front of the store.Paramedics removed the six-inch wiener from his throat where it had choked him to death.

FOURTH PLACE: Goes to poacher Marino Malerba of Spain, who shot a stag
standing above him on an overhanging rock and was killed instantly when it
fell on him.

THIRD PLACE: "Man loses face at party " A man at a West Virginia party
(probably related to the winner last year, a man in Arkansas who used the
.22 bullet to replace the fuse in his pickup truck)popped a blasting cap
into his mouth and bit down, triggering an explosion that blew off his lips,
teeth, and tongue.
Jerry Stromyer, 24, of Kincaid,bit the blasting cap as a prank during the party late Tuesday night, said Cpl. M.D. Payne."Another man had a blasting cap in an aquarium
hooked to a battery and was trying to explode it. It wouldn't go off and this guy said I'll show you how to set it off." He put it into his mouth, bit downand it blew all his teeth out and his lips and tongue off, Payne said. Stromyer was listed in guarded condition Wednesday with extensive facial injuries, according to a spokesperson at Charleston Area Medical Division.
"I just can't imagine anyone doing something like that," Payne said.
(Note: Maybe that's why they
call these the Darwin Awards)

SECOND PLACE: Doctors at Portland University Hospital said an Oregon man
shot through the skull by a hunting arrow is lucky to be alive and will be released soon from the hospital. Tony Roberts, 25, lost his right eye last weekend during an initiation into a men's rafting club, Mountain Men Anonymous (probably known now as Stupid Mountain Men Anonymous) in Grants Pass, Oregon. A friend tried to shoot a beer can off his head, but the arrow entered Robert's right eye. Doctors said that had the arrow gone 1 millimeter to the left, a major blood vessel wouldhave been cut and Roberts would have died instantly.

Neurosurgeon, Doctor Johnny Delashaw, at the University Hospital in Portland said the arrow went through 8 to 10 inches of brain with the tip protruding at the rear of his skull, yet somehow managed to miss all major blood vessels. Delashaw also said that had Roberts tried to pull the arrow out on his own he surely would have killed himself.

Roberts admitted afterwards that he and his friend had been drinking that
afternoon. Said Roberts, "I feel so dumb about this."


THIS YEAR'S WINNER: John Pernicky and his friend, Sal Hawkins, of the great state of Washington, decided to attend a local Metallica concert at the
George Washington amphitheater. Having no tickets (but having had 18 beers
between them), they thought it would be easy to"hop" over the nine foot
fence and sneak into the show. They pulled their pickup truck over to the fence and the plan was for Mr. Pernicky, who was 100 pounds heavier than Mr.Hawkins, to hop the fence and then assist his friend over. Unfortunately for (the late) Mr. Pernicky, there was a 30-foot drop on the other side of the fence. Having heaved himself over, he found himself crashing through a tree. His fall was abruptly halted (and broken, along with his arm) by a large branch that snagged him by his shorts. Dangling from the tree with a broken arm,
he looked down and saw some bushes below him. Possibly figuring the bushes would break his fall, he removed his pocket knife and proceeded to cut away his shorts to free himself from the tree

Finally free, Mr.Pernicky crashed into holly bushes. The sharp leaves scratched his ENTIRE body and now, without the protection of his shorts, a holly branch penetrated his rectum. To make matters worse, upon landing his pocket knife penetrated his thigh. Hawkins, seeing his friend in considerable pain and agony, threw him a rope and tried to pull him to safety by tying the rope to the pickup truck and slowly driving away. However, in his drunken haste,he put the truck into reverse and crashed through the fence, landing on his friend and killing him.

Police arrived to find the crashed pickup with its driver thrown 100 feet from the truck and dead at the scene from massive internal injuries . Upon moving the truck, they found John deceased under it half-naked, scratches on his body, a holly stick in his rectum, a knife in his thigh, and his shorts dangling from a tree branch 25 feet in the air.

Congratulations gentlemen. You win. Five more idiots have been removed from
the gene pool and we are richer because of your supreme sacrifice.
I can hardly wait till next year... can they get any better?)

That was my fill.. Geesh... Tired of chasing this thing!! I feel like i've just finished running a marathon.

Consider, ZGUY, that the Mississippian formation isn't a mature formation on our leases. It's "virgin" as far as I can see. Deeper, but still cheaply drilled. Imagine what it will add to the proven reserves when we elect to pursue it!!! I think the Mississippian formation is one of those DD2 has been alluding to in his messages regarding geologic formations.

Sounds like we'll be drilling wells faster than we can complete them. I think that is where we might see a bottleneck. Hopefully Keith has a plan. Maybe recruit (steal) a completion crew from one of the neighborhood folks like he did to run his new rig. Hopefully, when they get their completion plan down, completions will be much faster... Seems we'll need to complete one per week to keep up with Hemi's plan for completing four per month from now thru November.
Also, regarding the Mississippian formation, does anyone know if it has been tapped on any of Hemi's leases? All I have seen thus far is the squirrel formation at about 800 feet.

Ever wonder?

"THEIRS"?

Father -DAUGHTER TALK

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college.
Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and was very much in favor of the redistribution of wealth.

She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and an occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had, for years, harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.

One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the addition of more government welfare programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father.

He responded by asking how she was doing in school.
Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and
was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She did not even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.

Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Audrey doing?"

She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She is always invited to all the parties, and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she is too hung over.

Her wise father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you
will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA."

The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, "That would not be fair! I have worked really hard for my grades! I have invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!"

The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, "Welcome to the Republican Party."

Ahhh. The old "tight hole status". Sorry. I overlooked that...

Duedilligence2 made mention of some new wells also with some pretty specific comments about several new deep wells with good production... These were his comments:
(Deeper pay zones producing near Hemi's leases Woodson County Kansas are confirmed by supply houses in southeast Kansas. Several new wells with very good oil production from deeper pay zones are tight-holes for information about oil production from Kansas oil agencies.)
I was just curious if he knew how deep and how much they were producing...

Do we know the depth these new wells are producing from and how much production they're getting? It would be interesting to know, if you happen to have that info.... TIA DD2

Just when you think there's no justice ... A news article from a
Florida Newspaper:

"When Nathan Radlich's house was burglerized, thieves left his TV, his VCR, and even left his watch. What they did take was "generic white cardboard box filled with grayish-white powder." (That at least is the way the police described it.) A spokesman for the Fort Lauderdale police said, "that it looked similar to cocaine and they'd probably thought they'd hit the big time."

Then Nathan stood in front of the TV cameras and pleaded with the burglars: "Please return the cremated remains of my sister, Gertrude. She died three years ago."

Well, the next morning, the bullet-riddled corpse of a drug dealer known as Hoochie Pevens was found on Nathan's doorstep.

The cardboard box was there too; about "half" of Gertrude remained. And there was this note. It said: "Hoochie sold us the bogus blow, so we wasted Hoochie. Sorry we snorted your sister. No hard feelings. Have a nice day."

Thanks Susie. I had him resend it and I received it this time...

Well, I'll check with the guy who sent it to me to begin with and see what I come up with... Thanks.

Looks like the message is gone? Now how can I retrieve it. It isn't in archives.

Having trouble with my mailbox again.... It's flagging a new message but, when I try to retrieve it, it doesn't show up??? Any suggestions?

LOL... Hopefully the MM's will be scratching the anatomy at the other end of their bodies by the end of the day...
