Today at the inauguration of North Carolina's newly elected Governor Mike Easley, Andy Griffith read "A Toast to the Old North State". He looked good but I'm sad to report that he walked feebly. He did not have a cane, but took short limpy steps. I guess this is due to the arthritic type of disease he has had for years and his age. Today was a warmer day than usual with a very light breeze. I'm not sure but I think he may have stayed inside the State Archives Building until right before his appearance and probably retreated back after the attention was focused to someone else. His wife was with him. Mr. Griffith had done several tv commercial endorsements for Mike Easley during Mr. Easley's campain. My grandmother said "If Andy votes for him, so will I". I will brag to say that as State Attorney General, Mr. Easley has served North Carolina well. So, I just wanted to report in on what I saw. Since my email isn't working I didn't get the announcement from Opie (Not Opie here) that Andy was going to be there. But NRNMG had gotten the email from Opie and quickdotted me so I could watch it. I bet Opie was there too. I looked for him in the crowd but didn't see him. It is so good to see those who have posted. Ollie, be careful on the work front. I'm sorry your place of employement is going under. May God direct you to a wonderful job. Every one have a good night now. Miss Ellie

Howdy, friends! Seems I don't get by here but about once every couple of weeks, these days. Got so much going on - Daddy takes up quite a bit of my free time, we're shorthanded at work and all having to work extra shifts, etc. I do enjoy reading the archives and catching up, though. Ollie, I'm sure sorry about your job situation. That can be so scary. My beloveded and I went through that some years back - it took a toll on him, too, I can tell you! Seems like you folks of the male persuasion just tend to take it so personally, and let it make you question your own self! I never could get him to realize that it had nothing to do with who he was. He was the same fine man, but he didn't feel like it. Don't let that happen to you, Ollie. Weather is beautiful here in north central Texas - sunny and comfortably warm. Maybe not shorts weather, but shirtsleeves for sure, at least in the middle of the day. Well, my Sugarplum is going nuts at the front door, guess I'd better investigate.

anyhow

i hope everyone is doing good. oh, miss ellie , the reason you couldn't see ~De§~'s car is because you probably have disabled javascript in your browser (very different from java, but the words look simmilar eh?) so here you go with a regular link to the pic.

i was using a javascript to pop open a little bitty window. which reminds me, if anyone wants to do so in the future, i already put a function in the html called spawnWindow. so if you want to use a popup window (for pics and such) use:

href=javascript:spawnWindow(url, name, attributes);

where the things between the parenthases are variables. attributes means width height scrollbars etc etc. anyhoo enough nerd talk :-)

another quick little thing: if you dont want to use that little javascript to control the attributs of a popup window but want all the comfort and luxury of a new window (what the heck am i talking about....) anyway in your href after the url, typ target=_blank and it will use a new browser window. like so. but i had better test it because i'm getting rusty with the old html routine

January 11, 2001, 12:28 pm Msg #1468
oops. oh yeah, it has to be it's own thing: target="_blank"

hopefully like such and so...lets see if that's rite. boy i really am rusty with the old html

i've just been doing mostly flash programming for the last 6 months or so. i've even lost some photoshop/ fireworks chops. it's amazing how fast these things can leave a person's head.

Just thought I'd drop by and say hey to everybody. So...hey! Thanks for all that good information, ollie. De§, congrats on the new ride. I sure hope you've checked the transmission and differential for sawdust. That makes worn out gears run smooth as silk...for a while. Just kidding; great looking car. Looks like there might be a few "rag top days" in your future. Hi also to my neighbor, Mr. Schwump.

Hey to Frankie Flint, I'm Opie Taylor over at Miss Crump's and here at Trivialities too. You're not the only one having trouble getting on to Miss Crump's today. I've been having trouble getting on also. It took forever to load, and when I finally did get on it wouldn't let me post anything. I think everyone else is having the same problems because there wasn't any new replies.

To Msg # 1482: More power to ya!

Hey to everyone at Trivialities and Miss Crump's. You all take care and I'm sure that Mr. Newsome will have Miss Crump's in working order real soon.

Howdy, friends! Wow, De§, that car is outta sight! What a beautiful preservation or restoration job. It's a dreamboat. And it's RED! I'm a bit partial to cars of the Cadillac persuasion myself. I drive a '95, and it, too, is red. However, if I ever ran across a '57 Ford Fairlane convertible, blue and white, I'd have a seriour problem. That was my first car - got it new at age 17 - then married my sweetheart at age 18 and we paid for it together! We sold it when the kids started coming along. Babies and convertibles aren't a real good combination - at least they weren't back then in the pre-carseat days. Pre-seatbelt, for that matter! The kiddies could crawl out.

Miss Ellie, we hope you get your 'puter problems solved soon. We miss your sweet self when you're not around.--Romeena

This is very trivial, but I think I know the only episode of the Andy Griffith show that contains a real cuss-word: Goober Takes a car apart: Goober is walking down the street, Gilly Walker pulls up in his car and stops to talk to Goober. He complains about a noise it's makin, " Pa ding Pa ding" He said. Goober scratches his head. " So what"s that" Gilly aked. Goober said: " ..el if I know."

Hey everybody. Miss another day of school on Friday. Woke up with it snowing. Receive 3 to 4 inches of snow. They called school off. It warmed up and by afternoon the snow had melted off. At this rate we'll be going to school all summer. Sp00ky Benson

When I was a little girl, I said "Darn" and my grandmother said that was a cuss word. My Mama didn't let me cuss, even though my Daddy did. But I had never thought "darn" was a cuss word. How about y'all? My monitor has a problem with the color red so when I did get to pull up the picture of Des' s ride on Netscape, it was dark blue, but still purty. Last night my Hubby and I went to Opie's (the one from way, way back) and he cooked supper for us. He was a gracious host and we had a great time watching videos of TAGS. I have to share one of the funniest moments (to me that is). Opie had on a Carolina sweatshirt and it had the face of Bugs Bunny on it. Well, I never refer to Bugs Bunny except to say "BUGS". There we are sitting at his fancy eating table (I kept looking for the pot passers - I know wrong show) and I glimpsed the face of Bugs Bunny on his shirt and excited pointed (not polite I know) and said "BUGS" and Opie looks over toward the corner and looks back at me and I died laughing saying, "No, I mean Bugs Bunny on your shirt." We all had a big laugh. Didn't see any creepy crawly bugs in the immaculate house. We got to visit with his cat Opie too. Very beautiful cat and really took a shine to Hubby. My computer worked this morning after Hubby beat on it. Email is still a joke on this thing. I don't know what is wrong but I did get my sound and real player back. Maybe eventually I'll figure everything else out. Happy Sunday. Miss Ellie "PIPE DOWN, this ain't a ball park!"

My favorite color episode...the three spaghetti dinners. Love it ! I agree CD/NC that black and white ones are better.

Pray for Granny..she has a bad cold and has some lung problems as well as along with a lot of other problems. She had MRI today to see if she has had another light stroke. Thanks. Charlene Darling in NC, I again agree with you...an absolutely gorgeous warm day. Tom, that is a lovely prayer. Hello everyone !

I, too, was taught that "darn" was just a watered down version of "d*mn", and was therefore a cussword. Didn't keep me from saying either, though... *S* ollie, hope you're over that horrible flu. I had it a coupla years ago and thought I was gonna die! Prayers for Granny, Miss Ellie. Glad you like my new ride! My younguns are old enough now to keep their heinies in the seats with seatbelts on, but just a very few years ago I wouldn't have even considered it! Love to my Porch fambly! ~De§~
