Sounds like a great time in cold Alabama at the 40th reunion show. Thanks MPO, Nice,Real Nice Mary Grace and Mr. Foley for the pictures, and NRNMG for the story. Idelle, hope your Mom is okay now. About Buddy-the missing boy- last night they called off the massive search and scaled it down to about 8 people. No sign what so ever of Buddy or the dogs. Now they are focusing on investigative part. It's going to be below freezing tonight. I just pray Buddy and his two dogs are warm and fed. Thanks for your prayers. Everyone have a good night now. Stay warm.

Hey Miss Ellie, and a belated happy birthday to you. I haven't checked in here lately and didn't realize that I'd missed your big day. Hope it was a special one. And to everyone who's been concerned about little Buddy Myers, to the best of my knowledge there's no news of his whereabouts. Let's pray he and his dogs will be found soon. It's getting cold around here at night. Lydia

Hi, Billy! Good to see you again! BTW, how do you like my font color?

and when posted, this is what your message should look like:

those are great MPO! i swear one of these days maybe even next year, me verleen and little robert will make it over there to ONE event at least.

well, i'm here working at home today, and nobody is here: which is a better work environment : ususally, robert bangs on the door hollering "DADDY!" until i get him and sit him on my lap so he can type too. he's a pretty good emailer. and he icq-ed my boss the other day....... haha. he comes up with shortcut keys that i didn't even know existed.

on matlock yesterday, it was the one where don knotts is trying to fix ben's sink. ben comes in and there he is eating a sandwich. he says "i found this stuff in the refridgerator and thought i'd eat it before it went bad". hehehe.

hey has anyone read the "blue book" about andy griffith? it's kinda short, and talks about his stage career as well as him as lonesome rhodes, and how he took that charactar home with him at night.......spooky..... i thought that was a pretty neat book.

oh, BTW, in the lefty frizzell book i just read there is this pic inrrrr there of hank and lefty at ernest tubb's record shop singing after the opry. well i blew it up so i could print it out on photo paper and noticed that it's a better photo than that: in the back ground, you can see audry williams talking to ET, rose maddox, chet is off to the side, don helms the steel player is half hidded by somebody, and jerry rivers the fiddle player is somewhat obvious in there. i thought that was something.

anyhow, better git

Hurray! I found my way here! Wouldn't it be easier (maybe not possible tho) to have the newest postings at the top. It's gonna be alot of scrolling at the end of the month! A sandwich Ollie? I thought Ben ate only hot dogs! I don't think I could eat the amount hot dogs he goes through. I would hit burn real quick. I have browsed through the "blue book" but if you are speaking of his autobiography, I was hestitant to purchase it and read it because it was "unauthorized" and sometimes with the unauthorized bios, you can't always tell what is fact and what is fiction. I did just buy the new book "Mayberry Memories" and think it is just fabulous. Nice site here! TJ

Different or the same as Miss Crump's? I want to be a law abiding citizen even if I sneak in a jar of Aunt Bee's Pickles every now and then!

ben is also big on chili :-) anyhow, as far as rules go, well, as long as nothing is too dirty, like too dirty for say, your kids to read, and as long as you ain't mean to anybody, well, i guess that's about it. aside from rule #1: obey all rules :-) i kinda would like things to be somewhat related to TAGS, altho obvioulsy personal , freindly type stuff is great, and you know, sharing stories etc etc. it's all in the mayberry spirit anyhow.

I don't much think this color will look good here with a white background. I just wanted to thank Ollie for getting this place set up for folks. I know that so many Mayberry folks missed "The Front Porch" and I just didn't have time to get it done myself. Ollie's running a nice, easy going "porch" at that. So far, I've enjoyed visiting here even more that the old Porch because folks are being nice and neighborly to one another. Keep up the great work, Ollie.

Just a note for you. I appreciate your prayers for Buddy, missing boy, age 4. SADLY, he was found dead. The police didn't release anymore information than that because of compromising the investigation. The family has agreed to take lie detector tests. Buddy's other dog has not been found nor returned home. May God touch those who mourn him. Miss Ellie

Miss Ellie, that is so very sad. May Buddy rest in peace. May those who loved him be consoled by the multitudes who prayed for him.

Hey, Idelle! Sorry about forgetting to turn off my italics. "Dirty me, dirty me, I'm disgusted with myself." It should be off now.

Miss Ellie, I'm so sorry to hear about Buddy. I will continue to pray for his family and friends during this time of mourning.

Lillian, you are correct. The Bub years were a whole different breed. Yes, there were alot of Andy players on the old black and white. Saw Asa in one. There was also a character named Mayberry in another. They were both filmed at Desilu and debuted within days of each other in 1960. Anyway, I, too am sorry to hear about Buddy. That's a terrible thing to happen to a small child. I thank god each and every day that my 2 are safe and warm. Everybody have a good evening.

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: FROM MISS ELLIE: The report I heard was in error (I think on my part) THERE ARE ONLY RUMORS of little Buddy's death, but unfortunately these rumors are hampering the investigation. They are also tearing the family up I'm sure. So let us all keep a good thought and send up a prayer that Buddy is safe. Not in all this time have I heard his parents mentioned. I apologize for my part in this misunderstanding, but my husband swears he heard the same thing on the news that I did earlier. I was on the phone when the news came on and I misheard or either they misreported. Thanks for your prayers and understanding.: Miss Ellie

Well, looking at the credits in the early episodes(My 3 Sons)ther ewere some writers/directors that were cutting their teeth as it were on this show. For example, Gene Reynolds of M*A*S*H directed some of the early episodes. In the later color years, they were directed by Fred DeCordova, who used to direct Johnny Carson. That might explain the later smarminess.Also remember you lost William Frawley in the last black and white season and got William Demerest, a totlally different personality. Plus the sries switched from ABC to CBS the following year and went to color as TJ mentioned. I think the black and white added to the charm where something is lost w/color. I think w/ TAGS evrybody was tired by the fifth year and they were jist running through the paces. I'm not sure if Don Knotts had stayed it would have made the color eps any more appealing(sorry Emma).Anyway, hey to everyone and hope you all are having a pleasant Sunday.

Hello everyone! This is my first visit to the porch, but I've been a TAGS fan from the very first show! I'm very sorry about Buddy, and my prayers are with him and his family. Someone mentioned Ben Matlock and his hotdogs. I can't imagine, what with doing several takes, and the vorocious way he ate them, that he'd have any appetite at all come suppertime! Also, there seem to be some country music buffs here, and I have a question that's been buggin' me. Back, I think, in the late 70's, early 80's, there was a singer whom I thought was Kitty Wells, (turns out it wasn't) who lost a son. She then dedicated a song to him called, appropriately, "My Son". Anyone recall that? Just sign me: Moonbeam McSwine

[In reply to Msg #550] This is how to make a smiley face. Type, J and when posted it will look like this J. Now what I did is changed the font style. The font style "Wingdings" are symbols. So it is very important to remember to turn it off. If you want to make a sad face type in a capital "L" instead of a "J". Give it a try C. If you want to make a thumb up like I just did type C. Got it?

Just had a loverly chat with Therapetic, Rafe, Charlene, and Shakedown in Sarah's. Didn't even realize it was Rafe's birthday. Dirty me, dirty me. I'm disgusted with myself.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAFE!

I wonder if I've been watching too much Andy. I was at lunch the other day walkin' around....and I saw this woman with a really, really bad overbite.....we are talking BAD. As I walked past her and smiled, I I thought of the Beaman's ("he has the Beaman overbite, but that more of a characteristic"). Well.....good mornin' to all.

Hey to the Porch, There was a article in our paper today concerning "Snappy Lunch". The owner is trying to sell it and there is a little controversey about it in Mount Airy, NC. I'll check the paper and try to give you the jest of it or maybe "Opie" if he has the inside story maybe from Ann. Talked to Emma today who is visiting her son in Virginia Beach and she went to DC yesterday and who but who did she see....GILLY standing right there. First person she saw in Washington and it was GILLY. I think that's so cool. She'll probably give some more details but wanted to let everyone know. Your healthy girl, Flora

Boy....that little Emma sure moves around a lot! That really IS cool, Flora! Just floats right on into Washington and sees Gilly! Way to go, Emma! You too, Gilly!
Oh, my....selling Snappy Lunch? Jeesh...that doesn't sound good...that doesn't sound good at all! Somebody keep us updated...definitely!
It's great to see ya on here again, Flora! Tell Emma "hi" for me (formerly Charlene in the Nashville area).
Message #628....it very well may be "Beeman"...thanks for the help! I didn't look it up to check my spelling....hehehe....I knew somebody here would help me out on it if I was wrong.
Take care everybody!

Hey to ever'body! Hey to Opie Taylor! Nice to see you, bud! Thanks for all the birthday wishes, ever'body. Extry-special thanks go to Idelle and Bulbsnatcher and NRNMG and ollie (a Prince of a fella) and Lillian and JudyJudyJudy (I enjoyed the chat the other night, too!) and Briscoe Darling Junior!

It's nice to see Flora here, too. I missed seein' you at Mayberry Days (AGAIN!), bud. Seems like everytime I make it to Mayberry, you don't, and everytime you make it, I don't! I'm not in and you're not in! We're in the TWILIGHT ZONE!

Hey also to Mister Cookie Bar and TJ and --Elinora and Miss Ellie and Ang! I hope I didn't miss anybody, but if I did, "Hey" to you, too!

About the Snappy Lunch being put up for sale, according to this article, it's the building that's for sale, not the Snappy Lunch itself. And unlike Floyd in Floyd's Barbershop, Charles Dowell actually owns another building that he'll be moving the Snappy Lunch to if/when the current building is sold. That's good news!!! The Snappy Lunch will survive!

Well, I'd better go now. Just stopped in to say "Hey." So, "Hey!" I'll see ya.

Good morning folks. Heard that news about the Snappy Lunch too. They are asking a big price for the building, offered it first to Charles Dowell, but he didn't want to pay $160,000. Don't blame him. That's a lot of pork chop sammitches. I'm glad he has another building. Still won't be quite the same though. HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAFE ! 29 again? Lillian, I haven't heard any more news about Buddy. I won't post unless I do, to save space. That Emma sure gets around. Hope she ain't jaywalking in Washington ! Great she saw Gilly. Have a good day all. Miss Ellie

I think I messed up. maybe that turned off the bold. Sorry. If it didn't, I don't know how and maybe someone else can help me. Miss Ellie (the uneducated fonting fool)

October 20, 2000, 10:37 am Msg #642
I didn't mean to turn on the bold. I thought I was making a new line. I typed the "b" with those brackets around it, thinking I was making a new line, but I turned on the bold instead and don't know how to turn it off! Please someone fix it for me. I'm sorry. My kind of day today. Anyway to turn it off I typed a slash in front of the b inside the brackets. Miss DUMMY Ellie

That right, Lillian! I agree with you 100%!

Miss Ellie don't let this little mistake discourage you. You're doing a great job with the different font colors and all. You should have seen Miss Crump's Bulletin Board when I first started using font colors and styles. I really messed the place up! Just keep the good work. You're really doing excellent!
