Jason Crouch is a Dirty Rotten Scoundrel....

Just because Jason is a highly successful Real Estate broker in Austin, TX, one of the top-notch bloggers on Active Rain with a huge following, (I know he managed to post 10 blogs on AR during the party...but I can't prove it, yet!) plus it also happened to be the day before his 38^thbirthday, but that does not give him the right to rob me (Liz Carter, Real Estate broker in Katy, TX, (and not one of the top bloggers on Active Rain) of a month of my precious time. I inflicted severe mental anguish on myself during this time also.  I mean who does Jason think he is?  Jason is a big hearted bear of a man, with a quick & remarkable sense of humor, an avid reader and blogger of quality post, kind, good natured, willing to help everyone, faithful servant, honest, caring and so much more.  Jason is a good man, a loving son, husband, father (of soon to be four great kids) and my friend.  So I forgive myself for going so NUTS on this "Slide Show"...you deserved better though...oops I forgot, I forgive myself.

However I felt I had to bring to your attention the "dark side of Jason", he gets to know people, really know them so you are at his mercy.  He cares and gives so much that you want to return the favor.  We met on Active Rain, and we got to know one another, so he knows my strengths and weaknesses and can use me with his clever ways.  So I have spent the last month, and untold hours trying to make a presentable slide show of the Active Rain gathering/Birthday Party he so graciously arranged, hosted and paid for in August at the County Line restaurant in Austin TX. It was a big hit, TX Bloggers, friends,some special clients & his family were on hand. See Jason knows I'm compulsive, obsessive, over the top, out of control, type AAA personality, and I HAD to make a GREAT slide show of our Austin get together for him.

After putting together at least two dozen slide shows in different programs I have managed to turn out a  less than"GREAT" slide show. It is passable at best and might be the worst one I've ever done, although some of the captions. are pretty funny. table all by himself :) AT LAST, my mediocre attempt at creating something very special for, My Special Friend Jason Crouch.

I hope you enjoyed it, and please NO COMMENTS on the misspelled words in the captions...I know they are there, OK! Laugh & Enjoy.  It has been brutal for me, but I'll spare you the gory details...unless you really want to hear some funny, dumb things I did during this "slide show fiasco".  The picture of lady on road is kinda how I felt after attempting 10-12 Maybe I'll do a post on it later...much latter :-)

PS...A FEW OTHER FACTORS (besides my inept computer skills, and obsessive need to have it perfect), FOR THE DELAY OF THIS POST;  Hurricane Ike decided to pay us on the Gulf Coast at Galveston a little visit, Houston, Katy, & Spring all get the brunt of storms in our area.  We had over TWO MILLION+ PEOPLE WITHOUT POWER for weeks, and some still have none!  Then some very nasty little devil bacteria bugs decided to make my lungs there permanent residence.  They moved in 3 ½ weeks ago, and for the last week have been here at the hospital with me.  They must really like me, the doctors at St. Luke's in the Medical Center of Houston (one of the finest in the world), have been hitting them with everything short of a nuke bomb (I nixed that idea).  I'm hoping to get sprung tomorrow or the next day, and they are not coming back to my home with me!  There is just not enough room in there for me and all of them, they are nasty roommates plus they have NOT PAID ANY RENT...so they're outta here by gosh. UPDATE; i JUST GOT SPRUNG...at home, yes it feels great!  I've really missed Active Rain, and my friends here.

Jason, my friend you are the best and congratulations to you and Pam on the upcoming birth of your 4^th child, Liz

Another glitch posting....I get not ever get the spacing on my embedded code sized to put the slide show where I wanted it (PAR FOR THE COURSE ON THIS PROJECT :), so HERE IT IS AT LAST!
