Well it is fun girl here and am ready to fall into the bed and it won't be long before I am sound asleep. School is going well and I am really enjoying being back with my kids, but durned if this leg thing hasn't really got me down. I have to go have and exray tomorrow just to make sure I haven't done anything to my foot and that is what causing this pain.
And Asa, noooooooo. I don't run or cycle either one, which is what they said this curse comes from a doin'. The only times I run are to put the rinse in my laundry and between commercials to get my a Mr. Cookie Bar.
As long as I'm a laying here in misery, perhaps I could get a little elixer from Hazel and if some one could gather my darling boys to sing me my favorite song "Red River Valley"
"Come and sit by my side if you love me.
Do not hasten to bid me adieu.
Just remember the Red River Valley,
And the sweetheart who once loved you so true."

Well Fun Girl - best of luck to you. Pain is no fun especially when you are trying to work with children. I had both feet operated on last year before school started and although most of the pain has subsided. . .I still wince and tingle once in awhile. So good luck with the xrays. I hope you have a good orthopedic guy.
How are you Hazel? That was nice of you to help out Fun Girl. You are real sweetie. I bet Asa could chop her weeds for her as long as she ducks and stays away from the windows. I heard he has real mean slice! :-)

Welcome Louise. I know what you mean about the name "Mayberry" being a compliment to another city/town. The city of Carldbad, here in New Mexico, is MUCH larger size-wise ... population-wise ... than the TV town of Mayberry. However the "feelings" you get while you visit are VERY Mayberryish. The city is very clean, the citizens are VERY friendly & helpful, and you can see the pride they take in their "Hometown".
Afterall ... Mayberry is NOT a place on a map, it IS a "state of mind".

Hey Mavis, unless you turned it off...each time you open Netscape it asks you if you wan it to be your default browser. If you did turn it off, you'll need to go to "Edit > Preferences" and tell it that you want it to as$ociate itself with HTML files. The easiest way to to that is to go to My Computer and go to a folder that has an .htm or .html file in it. Click that file one time, then hold SHIFT and Right click the file. On the drop down menu choose "Open With" and pick out Netscape and click the check box that tells it to remember. --Floyd

thanks for your prayers Asa. I thought about that harness thing as tonight that episode was on tv. I feel more like tossing a rock through the doc's winder. I tell you these doctors now a days sure ain't as good as they used to be. Do you know if insurance hadn't covered my visit, that l5 dad burned minutes the doctor spent with me would have cost me $261.00 with an additinal $62.00 for blood work ! Outrageous ! I realize they go to college and all that, but if he sees 4 people per hour that is over $l000. before he pays out his overhead. I'm steamed !
Prayers for all those who need them. School has started back here. Also pray for my Granny out in Washington about 30 miles from the bad fires. She has breathing problems so she has to stay in the house all the time. Ironically, their air is usually better than ours, and we told her, when you get out there at least you can breathe better and the air is worse there than here on our worst day ! You know, Old Barney was right when he said "You fight fire with fire". They do that, start a fire line that smothers out the oncoming fire. Although out there, it won't be easy because of the torain.
Hope everyone is having a good time. I'm looking forward to Mayberry Days. Saw an Andy Griffith Exhibit Sunday at UNC Wilson Library in Chapel Hill, but most of it I had seen before at Mt.Airy Visitor's Center. It was interesting to hear a lady tell that at her vacation home and sat on the same pew at church with Andy and didn't know it and then when she found out she didn't have nerve to speak to him.

The clerk at the auto parts store checked his inventory for the particular type I wanted, and then told me that they only had 6 of that type. Without thinking, I automatically responded, "She's a eight cylinder, she'll take eight. One for each cylinder." He didn't laugh. A perfectly good joke wasted. Ah, where are all the Mayberry-minded people when you need them?

Hey Emma, I'm always "keyed up." I don't need Mayberry Days to get me that way because EVERYDAY is a Mayberry day here at the Porch,on Mayberry.com, and on the WBMUTBB Digest. It's a wonderful world.
Mornin' Everybody!!

It was nice to see Andy on Family Law last night. I know it was a repeat but very good - none the less. My little boy said, that's not Andy. . Andy has black hair. Oh well - I still love Andy!
