Hey Folks, Welcome to my "homage" to the old "Front Porch." I've been wanting to put up a site to pay tribute to Frank's "Porch" for a while and just got around to it. If you remember the old porch, please tell me what the differences are between what you're seeing here and what Frank had. I'd like to get it to looking just like Frank's did. -- Allan "Floyd" Newsome

Cool! Thanks for doing this Allan. I never did get a chance to post much at the old porch. It went away 'fore I got really involved in Mayberry posting.

Which would print out like this:

July 3, 1996 - Msg 3492:

I like the use of the "NAME=" parm, 'cause that way, we can get to individual messages by using the # followed by the message number, and get right to the message, instead'a havin' to scroll down through all the messages to get where we wanna be. That's how Frank had it set up. Plus, whenever a message was posted, the entire URL was listed in the "Location" box when you were done, like "http://www.tagsrwc.com/chitchat/index.html#3492". That would allow that particular message to be saved as a Favorite/Bookmark, and when we wanted to pick up where we left off (the next day, or whenever), we'd use that Favorite/Bookmark to get right back to our last message! See what I mean?

Thanks, Allan.

May 05, 2001 - Msg 136: Barney wouldn't need a clock on this page. He has one in his stomach.
May 05, 2001 - Msg 137: I emailed Ollie about his site. --Allan
May 05, 2001 - Msg 138: I just heard from Ollie. He said he was having trouble maintaining his site because of some problems he's having and wanted to make it so folks could download his programing and use it. Let's keep Ollie in our prayers and thanks to him for all his efforts. I'll be removing the link to his Trivialities site from the bottom of the Porch. --Allan
May 05, 2001 - Msg 139: NO more trivialities? That makes me cry!!
May 05, 2001 - Msg 140: Me too. I HATE that. Ollie had done a lot of work. I will add the archives from that site to this one so you'll still have them. --Allan
May 05, 2001 - Msg 141: Yer a fine fellar Allan!
May 05, 2001 - Msg 142: Poor Ollie. He's having a tough time alright. Definitely keep a good thought for him. He's lucky to have such fine upstanding folks looking after him.Hope all is well w/ everybody today.

May 05, 2001 - Msg 143: I talked to ollie (by email) Thursday night. He seems to be hanging in there. I just went to Trivialities and had to open it as a zip file. I didn't know what happened so I came here to see if anyone knew. Wishing you the very best, ollie! You've been a good friend to us. Allan, you have too. Love y'all! ~De§~
May 05, 2001 - Msg 144: Allan, could you change one little thang? On the bottom of the porch where you mention Trivialities, could you possibly say trivialities was "ollies" tribute to the porch? All the work ollie did should be recognized by name, don't you think? Thanks, Allan.
May 05, 2001 - Msg 145: Well, I added Ollie's name. That was a great idea. Sorry I didn't think of it. --Allan
May 05, 2001 - Msg 146: I'll try and get the archives online when I archive this site for the first time. That shouldn't be too much longer. --Allan
May 05, 2001 - Msg 147: Thanks Allan. Prayers for ollie and his family.
May 05, 2001 - Msg 148: You can get to the archives here.

Andy: "I bet if you was to go to New York or one of them other big towns, why they'd say 'boy, where you been?'"

Jim Linday: "Oh yeah! They say where you been and why don't you go back as fast as you can."

May 06, 2001 - Msg 152: Thanks Rick, Those were the one's I had as well and I agree that they don't seem to be working. I checked out your pictures!! The look great. I signed your guestbook but I left an "e" off my email address so the email won't work...sorry. It's really great to have you around!!!

May 06, 2001 - Msg 153: Good Sabbath to you all. It looks like we're off to a good start. Thanks for all your
efforts, Allan (just a prince of a fellow). Reading through all the names takes me
back to some great memories and makes me look forward to more good times. I figure it
won't be long before I'm forgetting my </>'s on this porch too! hahaha

May 06, 2001 - Msg 162: Heya, Dixie Belle! Been a long time! Glad you found the new place. Happy Sunday, y'all. So whatcha gonna do later?

What're you gonna do, Ange? ~De§~

May 06, 2001 - Msg 164: Have you heard? Idelle Bushy and Charlene got into it after preachin' this morning. Idelle baked Dud a hoot owl pie. I heard it from Sarah. Now I told her straight out she was gossipin'. It's rude to gossip you know. Well, do you want to hear it??!! Charlene picked up a rock and hit Idelle right on the head. Must be hangin around that Ernest T. Bass too much. Idelle has a bump as big as a chicken egg. Such goins on, such goins on, such goins on. Now I hate gossip. Just tellin' the facts. Now did you hear the one about Myra Koonts.........

Cool, cloudy day here in Mayberry.
Saw some beautimus flowers going to Granny's.
She ain't perculating too well. At 89, with all her health
problems I guess she is lucky to be walking around.
Hope all of y'all come to Sarah's at 8pm EDST tonight
for a big bash. I'm bringing the ice cream.
Emma's bringing some fresh baked pies; there settin' in the winder cooling right now.
See ya later, alligator.

May 06, 2001 - Msg 168: Hey BD, bring your jug?
May 06, 2001 - Msg 169: Hey there Miss Ellie!
Sorry I missed the big bash at Sarah's. I had company earlier. Course I could have brought him and passed him off as Oliver Gossage from Raleigh. He don't spill food no more. A big slab of Emma's pie and a scoop of ice cream sure would have hit the spot. Was the ice cream West Indian Licorice Mocha Delight? Have a good night all.

May 06, 2001 - Msg 170: Sorry I couldn't make it to Sarah's tonight, Mr. Neff (is there one??) was hogging the 'puter tonight. Maybe next Sunday. Hope ya'll had a good time. Hello to ever body! Miss Ellie Hope I'm still walking around when I'm as old as yer Granny!!
