*Mavis
May 23, 2001 - Msg 568: *Mavis, my clock is slow too! I lost 45 minutes in 2 days. It just started happening, so it's funny you mentioned it. It's not that the days are getting shorter either. Your "clock/cmos setup" battery on your computer motherboard (parent board or system board, to be Politically Correct) is slowly going out. Leave your computer on for a couple days to completely charge, then turn it off normally. If you still have the problem, you can live with a slow clock -like I am, and just look at another clock, or get your battery replaced at your local Emmett's Fix-it shop. You might want to get it replaced, because sooner or later, every time you boot, you will need to enter setup info, because the bad battery will no longer hold that information.

Let me know if you think this is something you think others will enjoy or not.

At the very beginning, when Andy comes home after a bad day at work, he was telling Aunt Bee about all the things that went wrong. I could have swore he said "and then Otis got gassed and drove his car thru somebodys hedge (or something) and I had to arrest him, and then he wanted to fight". Did I hear right? I thought if there was one thing Otis would never do was drink and drive!

See some good ol' friends here & some new ones as well. Mavis, how you doin' gal? Rafe, you ain't jailed yet? I been north o' Mt. Pilot lately but couldn't help a saunter with my red Aussie, Foster, in the old neighborhood. He's been sniffin' mailboxes and I've been smellin' the night air. The crickets are singin' already but a mite slow tonite. There's a sickle moon hangin low in the western sky vivid enough to hold a swing. Had to take another look to be sure there wasn't one. The confederate jasmine has just about give up for the season and didn't it smell pretty?

Sarah Kate is walkin' across the stage for her RN on Sunday & Miss Lou is gettin' outta' high school. Huckleberry is 6 now and all arms and legs and freckles. He hit a double and a triple last Saturday & topped it off with a double play. That boy could shape up to be a retirement plan if'n he ain't careful. Sure was good to listen in on ya'll.

There's not a good way to make the comment area wider. It "wraps" the text for you so you should be able to just type and not worry too much about the size of the area. The size is set so folks using just about any browser or screen resolution can see the entire thing. If it were very much bigger, some folks wouldn't be able to see the whole thing.

Since we are all Andy fans here, I can tell you what helps me when I have a bad day. Just remember the words of the song that Andy & Barney sang in that episode where they are trying to get 'ol Ben Weaver by helping out Bert Miller. "Spread a little sunshine everyday, spread a little sunshine everyday, help someone along lifes way; spread a little sunshine everyday". I know it seems dumb, but just thinking of that song makes me think about what I can do to help others instead of what they can do for me! And that cheers me up. Charlie

May 27, 2001 - Msg 630: A fair good-Sabbath evenin' to you, gentlefolk. Today was a landmark for ol' Jake. My eldest daughter "walked" at St. Mary's University in California and my youngest daughter graduated from high school in Fort Worth. I've noticed as I've aged I "reflect" a bit more. These two girls have been at the centre of my prayers for 22 years. Oh, if I could only have been two places at once. On the other hand, how big is a daddy's love? Just big enough, friends, just big enough. I've got the Huckleberry boy to keep me young. Won't have to do this again for 12 years. Biggest sis marries in August. Now and again I just wish dear Aunt Bee would drop a couple of pearls of wisdom my way. Then again, she did, didn't she?

I'm thinking of the bouncing curls and the cries of "DAAADDDEEEE!!!" when I came home. Holding them in one hand, drying their tears and the million other threads that weave the lace of our lives. How I hope I've been to them what my Papa was to me. Lord, I've done all I know how. It's Your turn.....well....still. Bless my babies, Lord and those of all the good people who will pause and read this. Blessings.....don't they multiply........Jake
May 28, 2001 - Msg 631: Hey 627, Gomer didn't sing the National Anthem at Indy, he sang "Back Home Again In Indiana" which he has done for the past several years. I saw the feller that sang the Anthem and he was definately NOT from Mayberry.

May 28, 2001 - Msg 638: Does anyone know if the new tax refund I will be getting in July will be taxed?
May 28, 2001 - Msg 639: Aunt Bee: That darling Mr. Frisbee whom we've been buying eggs from for
all these years. Will you tell me why they're running him off his
property?
Barney: Who is?
Aunt Bee: The County. They want to extend the highway right through his farm.
Barney: That's the County for you... extend a highway that already goes no place.
Andy: They ran out of money.
Barney: They ran out of brains!
Andy: They got the money now and the reason they want to extend it...
Barney: I'll tell you why they want to extend it, so they can raise taxes and put more people on the payroll !
Aunt Bee: Barney's right.
Andy: Barney don't know what he's talking about. Now if you'll...
Barney: If you ask me they ought to fire the whole lot of them - a bunch of goldbrickers and deadheads every one of them!
Andy: Barney, did it ever occur to you wer'e on the payroll?
Barney: Hmm?
Andy: We're County employees. We're paid by the County, you and me.
Barney: Of course. You think I didn't know that?

(Barney slides over the edge of the desk)

Andy: They need that highway. Been needing it for years.
Barney: They need that highway, Aunt Bee.
Andy: In case of emergencies - fire truck or ambulance got to go all the
way around Fisher's Pond, cross that wobbly old bridge. They need that highway.
Aunt Bee: They don't need to put it through Mr. Frisbee's place. Why don't they put it someplace else?
Barney: Yeah, why can't they put is someplace else?
Andy: There ain't no place else!
Barney: There ain't no place else.
Andy: Stands to reason you can't have two hunks of highway that don't join up.
Barney: Highway's got to join up all right.
Andy: Frisbee's place is right in the middle.
Barney: Right smack dab in the middle!
Aunt Bee: Oh Barney would you stay out of it!
Andy: He'll be better off - they'll pay him for his property. They'll give him more than its worth.
Aunt Bee: Oh, I suppose money makes it alright! You never did care for Mr. Frisbee, did you?
Barney: Don't you like him Ange?
Andy: No, I nevas crazy about him if you want to know the truth. But that's got nothing to do with it. I'd have to evict him no matter what.
And I'm trying to tell you he'll be better off.
Aunt Bee: You seem to forget there are things more important than money.
Things like home and people's feelings and where they grew up. And things like.... do unto others!!
Andy: Aunt Bee, I can't do anything about it!
Aunt Bee: You could if you wanted to. Maybe you stay around jails too much. Maybe you should go to church more often!
Barney: Wouldn't hurt, Ange. Maybe if you went to church more often.
Andy: Will you shut up!!
May 28, 2001 - Msg 640: good morning all. I think I hear thunder so I better get off here.

That chapter has more activities than any I know of. Look up Neal Brower or Mike Johnson or Sheldon Fields in the phone book. They'll know how to get you set up.

May 28, 2001 - Msg 643: Happy Memorial Day to everybody! The Barney Chapter has some wonderful people in it for sure! I'm pretty sure that's the chapter that Jim Ballance is in, (I think that's how you spell his name) and you couldn't find a nicer person if you put in an ORDER for one. --Emma
May 28, 2001 - Msg 644: A pleasant good evenin', gentle friends. Mavis, you ain't changed a whit. You're still just as lovely and kind as they come. Well, this weekend is one for the record books. Three graduations and the Huckleberry boy finally took off on his own on his bike (sans training wheels).

We did the Memorial Day thing....swimming and barbecueing. Nothing smells quite like brats on the grill (the sausage...not the ill behaved children......although...........). Then off to All Star practice. Lordy, I do love watching these young'uns really "get" it and make a double play or hit a triple. That's Americana. I kid you not. The smell of peanuts and the sound of a ball smacking into the pocket of a glove. It's just pure joy. I can't help it. I just love 'em all. The only thing to make it more perfect would be to live in the "Mayberry" in my head. You know, tree lined avenues and a Barney & Andy to look after me. Might just make a freezer of ice cream a bit later. Y'all in? Vanilla, peach or chocolate? Y'all come. Plenty for everyone. Blessings to you on this pleasant evening...Jake
