"Just down then road" is all about perspective. In other words: if I was fixin to go to Atlanta from Columbus (100 miles or so), and was going to stop somewhere for dinner (lunch to you Northerners), I would say that we would stop down the road which may be 40-50 miles like in Newnan because it is not real close to Columbus but not all the way to Atlanta, ' bout half-way. But, if I was going to stop in Columbus before leaving the city limits, we would be stopping "before we leave" to eat. Clear as mud, now?

"cane" you hear me now? Ok, Ok, but it was the first thing that popped into my head. Must be the southern accent.

Busted! Don't know who taught me typing after I realized I spelled "and" "dn". Dyslexia and shorthand all rolled into one.

1) I have snorkeled with pilot whales. 2) Jimmy Carter's brother-in-law taught me Algebra dn Trigonometry. 3) I want to get married again.

Set your goal to be sitting on your porch when you can't go anymore remembering those things you did rather than wishing you had done them.

Many, many congratulations! I want to direct the weddings so I can tell Frank what to do! The beer bottle reminds me of a redneck wedding I directed once. The story will have to wait for the party.... Fran

Best of luck. Please stay in touch. Fran

Good luck, Connie! Hurry back, Fran

I think we should throw Ann a cyber shower with cyber gifts, cyber punch (open the bar Cindy) and silly cyber games! What's your cyber calendar looking like, Ann? I would volunteer to come down and help with the real wedding plans since that's what I once did for a living but it is WAAAAAY too near my ex!

Most of the neighbors in our small community (11 homes) WALKED to my house. We played games, talked, and then ate what I call Brupper (breakfast/supper)after midnight. All fun and didn't have to worry about anybody driving.

G is for GOOD NEWS!

I was in Plains, GA the night of the 1976 election that "we" won. Then was there in 1980 when "we" lost. Both were great experiences. My hometown is only 20 miles away so we grew up knowing the Carter family.

A wistful smile, a hearty laugh or a silly giggle when thinking of me would be good.

I've always said that if there is such thing as reincarnation I want to come back as MY cat.

My sister and I had been our mother's "go-to" persons for just about everything; medical, gossip, errands, financial, getting dead animals out of the road, calling others to tell them things she wanted them to know, etc, etc, etc. I was a bit more available as I didn't have children. I then went through a divorce and just about lost control of myself. I flew the coop with the explanation to Mama that I couldn't be good for anybody else until I saw about myself. I had never put myself first before. Lo and behold, Mama perked right up and got a lot better. Ry's post says it all. Take the job and don't think twice about it. The rest will take care of itself. DO NOT FEEL GUILTY!! You will probably find that you and your mother might actually enjoy each quality time together rather than just sick or anxious times.
