I tried that line on Mary the other day and she said "Let me guess..BARNEY said it." (Cause I'm always quoting Barney around her.) I said "No, Mary...Barney didn't say EVERYTHING." That little grandbaby is a sweetie pie. Thanks for asking. I'll have him quoting Barney just as soon as he learns how to talk. -Emma

Well, the office move is complete. I'm only walking a little crooked. Asa, Clearwater is way closer to them pretty white beaches than Tampa. But my part of Clearwater is more like Stumpwater - it's an industrial area next to the trash incinerator. Our roof leaks, and the power goes out every time someone in the warehouse runs the copier.

Mayberry Daze! Can anyone point me to the details, dates and directions? Sounds like a nice, real nice time! Emma, the A&E show gave me the warm fuzzies, too. I just love those boys!

Got to see the "other" Floyd and eat at Snappy Lunch and everything. David Browning (Barney) is supposed to be there tomorrow...handing out citations no doubt. I bet he'll be out there three-eightin' and four-twoin' all over the place. Or he MIGHT be Glenn Fordin' it all over town. He's a NUT. -Emma (I'm making up for lost time here this evening.)

(No it wasn't made by Colonel Harvey, or Jack Daniels for that matter.) The man at the health food store said it sounded like I had a magneseum deficiency. I am hoping that tomorrow I am rested and refreshed.

Oh, by the way, the last time we "called the man" he charged us $185 to put in a new timer, so I figured at that rate we might as well get a new one. My husband in wonderful, but he's no Emmit. If we had to live by his handy man talents, we'd be going hungry.

Just wanted to say a fond farewell to you all. I will be back Sunday or Monday and will fill you all in on the wonderful music that I hear by my darling boys.

Hey to Milton P. Oliver. I like that name. You need to squeeze a Tibbs in there somewhere though. See if you can "deduce" a way of doing that. I am so witty for 5:30 in the a.m. even if I do say so myself.

Plus, Harvey Bullock has donated some autographed photos, and an "Opie The Birdman" script. TAGSRWC has donated a Squad Car Cookie Jar autographed by Don Knotts (it will be there as long as MPO comes - you aren't feeling sickly, are you? hahaha) There are also a few holdovers from last year - calendars, JL-327 License plate, and more.

August 12, 2001 - Msg 1684: Hello to my Mayberry pals. I am home again from the Shady Grove Fiddle Festival, and allow me to say that a grand time was had by all. And I must say that one of the crowd favorites were my darling boys. They played together and separate. Konner (7) in the guitar category and Emory(5) in the fiddle category and they also did a set of songs together for the band catagory. Konner played "Jacob's Ladder" and Emory played "Lightly Row," But you all know that "Boil them Cabbages Down" is the one that always brings tears to my eyes. They both played and sang on that one and on "Clementine." They even had little miner hats on. I tell ya if I'da had buttons on my shirt I woulda busted 'em.

Asa, as far as the food in Berrien goes, well I hear there is a little cafe they call the Daybreak and that is where Mohammed Ali eats his pancakes. Yes sir, he lives in Berrien Springs and so I guess if the CHAMP likes the pancakes there they must be purty good. The weather was beautiful today. I'd say in the low 80's and just as pleasant as could be in the shade.

Mrs. Wiley, as of Wednesday there will be no more GO GO GO for this Fun Girl. It will be back to the real world. But that's what is so great about working for the school system, there is always summer vacation next year.

It's real good to be back and tomorrow I think I will set a spell and rock and prepare myself for reading and writing and 'rithmetic, or at least blowing my whistle at recess and hollering real loud in the cafeteria.

He even owns a car dealership here in town and it inside it has a hardwood basketball floor. Neat huh?

Now Hazel - are we going to have to do one of them "inventions" on you to get you off the sauce. It was supposed to be for a slug problem and then it went to back problem and now I do believe you'll be making flowers before it is all through!

August 14, 2001 - Msg 1719: Evenin...nice evenin ain't it? I hope everybody is having a good week so far. I watched a good OLD movie this past weekend ("Marty" - Ernest Borgnine, 1955) It had a couple of lines I recognized from TAGS. Marty's muther was trying to get him to go to the StarDust nightclub to meet some girls and he said "So, I go put on my blue suit and go to the StarDust Lounge and what do I get for it? HEARTACHES! A nightful of HEARTACHES!" And later his buddy was coming out of the club and somebody asked him about the girls inside and he said "DAWGS! Nuthin' but DAWGS!" I laughed right out loud at those lines. I think that movie might have won Best Picture in 1955. (but it might not)

August 14, 2001 - Msg 1720: Folks..I'm just wondering....does the Porch load okay for you if you're using a "dial-up" connection? Does it take too long...loads pleanty fast...etc? I'm asking because the "automatic archive is set for 45K and that's started happening every 5 days. That's fine but I don't want it to get too much quicker at archiving so I may up the size of the page to 55K or something sometime in the future *IF* that wouldn't make the site load too slow for dial-up folks. Y'all speak up and let me know.

August 14, 2001 - Msg 1722: Howdy porchsters! Just got back from the doctor up in Mt. Pilot. I got something called Iliotibial Band Syndrome and no it ain't got nothing to do with liking good music. Some durn fool thing about a band between my hip and knee and it hurts like fire. Guess that magneseum didn't do the trick, but then again, I reckon it didn't hurt none either. Maybe it would help get Hazel off the sauce. (Just funnin' you Hazel!)

Now about my man Larry Bird. Homemaker, I knew the first time I read from you that you was good people. You just can't explain to Little Opie what a basketball legend Larry Bird is. He just does not understand it. I think I finally got it through his noggin' when we watched a video from the library 'bout him and Ope said, "Hey, he was good like Reggie." Son there is no comparison. Ol'Larry was in his senior year at Indiana State when I was a sophomore in high school. I can still remember the hoop hysteria that year.

Younguns-what are ya gonna do with em?

Asa I do believe it is your earlobes . . .you seem to be about a bubble and a half off plum to me! :-}
Try some elixir fun girl and call me in the morning if that don't do the trick.

The kids are screaming so I best see if they killed each other yet!

August 14, 2001 - Msg 1724: Floyd/Allan, I'm glad you asked that there question. Because I have trouble about every week or so getting on to the porch. Nobody else complains about it, so I figured it was just my computer. (It's kindof an old one - it may have gotten shaken up when it was coming over on the Mayflower). It takes a long time to load, and then sometimes I don't have but half the screen (no comments area). What do you think? - Hazel
August 14, 2001 - Msg 1725: Hey to ya Fun Girl. That there ailment ya got is no fun. Did they offer some physical threapy for ya? There are some stretches you can do that will really help with that. It is a common problem with distance runners. Be you one of them?

Asa
August 14, 2001 - Msg 1726: Oh, and I don't want to hear no comments from the sidelines about how Hazel never seemed to have any trouble getting loaded! (They seem to think I'm gassed all the time, Floyd). And FunGirl, I'm sorry to hear about your syndrome. Leave it to you to have some fancy-sounding ailment. Hope it gets better. - Hazel
August 14, 2001 - Msg 1727: Allan loads fine for me & I am on a dial up connection!

August 14, 2001 - Msg 1728: By the way Floyd - does Diet Dew tickle your innards like the "hard" stuff (as in Regular Dew?).
Also - the children are still alive. Still screaming just to be screaming. . .but alive!

Do you start school tomorrow Fun Girl - if you do, best wishes on entering the "Instruction Zone." It can be similar to the Twilight Zone on some occasions! Hope you'll be able to function with your leg. Your job isn't easy. I know
Have a great evening everyone - talk to you in the morning.

Who will be up first??
