Hey!
I remember Andrea, too! I'm not good with names but hers was rather different. She and a friend of hers stayed the night with me (separate bedrooms of course) when I was in Virginia about '78 or '79. Wish I could remember her friend's name. She was a cute little thing with a small scar on her face. Dang! I wish I was better with names!

Re:"..which is near my aunt's house (Aunt Vivian, remember her and Dick?)"
But of course I do! They had two daughters, Lauren and Amy if I remember correctly, who did baby sitting for us. That Lauren was a handful but golly.. she must be in her '30's by now! I hope she's doing alright. Haven't heard from them in a while now. You really gonna' call us up and maybe meet for dinner?

You flatter me, my man, but yes.. I do have a musical background. So you remember that wedding, huh? I remember you had to string the chairs, just to make sure it was all done properly, too. Nothing like Corps training, eh? Now here's some pics you might remember.. first one is me at the wedding..
....and next one is a groupshot including YOU!!! Now are you going to 'fess up as to which one is you??

P.S. The little boy (Carol's nephew) is now a college graduate and 22 years old. My how time flies!

Paw,
Just click on the "Today's Active topics". You'll see that the Nostalgia thread isn't registering any since three days ago. What gives? Tomorrow, I suspect, it won't even be listed.

Harvey tells his doctor his sex life is unsatisfactory. He
suggests Harvey should go to an adult movie where he may
pick up some new ideas. After going to the movie, Harvey
gets home late and his wife says, "Harvey, where have you
been? I've been worried about you." He explains about his
doctor's advice and says, "You know, all of the women in
the movie, they MOAN." "Harvey, if you want me to moan for
you, I'll moan." They go to bed, things begin to progress
and his wife asks, "Harvey, you want me to moan for you?"
"NO! DON'T MOAN YET!" Things start getting even hotter and
again his wife asks, "Harvey, you want me to moan now?"
"NO! DON'T MOAN YET! DON'T MOAN YET!" Finally the magic
moment arrives and when his wife asks if he wants her to
moan, Harvey screams, "YES!!! MOAN NOW!!! MOAN NOW!!!"
His wife says, "Harvey, the lines at the mall were so long
and the prices so high..."

Re:"Maybe I should plan this for our 20th anniversary in July? We spent our honeymoon at the Peabody."
No kidding? Well, get this.. Carol and I also honeymooned at the Peabody! We also got married there in 1985.. on Pearl Harbor Day! I kid around and say that's a date that will live in infamy. Hee-hee!
This was back in the days that we were both "in", of course, and Rev. John Hill performed the ceremony. It was simply great! We got married in the Continental Ballroom and had the reception in the Nathan Bedford room complete with a band that could play anything from swing to top 40. Ummm.. had hot food and an open bar for everyone, too. In fact... I'm pretty sure your parents were there. Heck, nearly everybody else in the branch was there.
Hey! If you're going to be in town in July, why don't you give us a call? We're in the phonebook in Germantown.

Re:"Then, of course, the rebel forces of nostalgia came in and declared my thread null and void and started their own thread."
What can I say? I'm innocent, I tell you! I was going to try it your way but.. it's that dang rebel group! So.. kindly delete the old Nostalgia threads, if you would. That clears up some storage space as well.

Hope,
If you click on those 'active topics' you won't see the 'Nostalgia' anywhere on it even though it is probably the most active thread. Yep... some bugs have to be worked out.
sudo -
Oooh!!
This could really work out. In fact, we'll be coming through in July as well. We'll probably be leaving mid day on July 19th and staying around Sevierville for the night. Problem is we could be getting in kinda' late. What you guys think? Why don't ya'll e-mail me at: dbdbdb@midsouth.rr.com. We'll see if we can't make plans!

In a little country town back in the hollars of
Tennessee there lived a braggart, John Smith, who
would always bore anyone who listened with how he
knew every important person in the world.
The town folk would just roll their eyes because
they had known this man since he was a little boy.
But one day a stranger came into town and while
passing the barber shop he heard 'ole John bragging
about how he and the governor were fishing buddies.
The man happened to be a lobbyist at the state capital
in Nashville and thought he would have a little fun
with John. "OK", the man said. "I'll bet you $100 you
don't even KNOW the governor!". John didn't hesitate.
"Look, fella'", John replied."I'll be there at the
governor's mansion tomorrow. And when the governor comes
out he'll come over and shake my hand." The man just
laughed inside and told John that it was a deal.
Unfortunately for the man, the next day, the governor
DID come out and sure enough he walked over, shook
John Smith's hand and had a little chit chat. The man
couldn't believe it but decided to really show this
braggart for what he was. So, in front of the crowd
he again challenged John and told him the bet was now
$500 that he didn't know the President of the United
States. "Sure, I know 'ole George", John said."Why we
used to drag race together down in Texas".
The man was red faced now and told John that he had
lobbying to do in Washington DC and that in fact he
was going to be at the White House the very next day.
Sure enough, the next day came and there was the man
standing outside the White House gates right next to
John Smith when the President and his motorcade left
the North Gate. Suddenly, the motorcade stopped, a
window of one of the limousines rolled down and George
Bush reached out and shook John Smith's hand! The man
just COULDN'T believe it. He then gave John the ultimate
challenge.. He bet John $5000 that he didn't know the
Pope.
Well, for $5000 John said he would fly to Rome and
prove that he did know the Pope. This was going to be
good the man thought. He'd finally show John up for
the backwoods braggart that he was. The next week,
there was the man and John standing in St. Peter's
Square with a crowd of thousands waiting for the Pope
to appear. John slipped off and the man was left
straining to see what was happening up on the balcony.
Suddenly the crowd roared but the man couldn't see too
clearly because the balcony was so far away. But he
could make out that there were two men up on the
balcony so he turned to an Italian lad standing next to
him and asked him what he saw."There are two men on the
balcony, sir", the lad replied. "I'm not sure who the
one in the spiked hat carrying a staff is but the man
next to him is John Smith!"

3Cents,
I'm with you and Ex but we have to realize that these boards work differently from Ezboards and some things just aren't as easy to do. I know Paw's tried to do just that but it fouled up some other things.
Personally, I'd like to see the bugs worked out of what's considered a popular thread. The 'Nostalgia' thread under the GS Reading Room is now on it's 3rd page but not ever listed. Paw's probably scratching his head over a lot of things right now. Let's give him some time.

Ginger,
Sometimes I like watching The Sopranos but I refuse to watch it if any of my kids are coming through the room. The language is terrible.

Re:"Sudo, next time you and Carol head over this way, let me know and I can meet ya most anywhere on I-40 east of Knox.."
Here's what we do.. we go through Knoxville and then hit I-81 North. We then get on I-77 past Wythville, VA and come down south into NC. Would there be an exit just out of Knoxville that would be close to you? We'll for sure be coming through at Thanksgiving. Ah! I love the Smokies in the Fall!

Re:"I don't think it's too helpful at this point, but we're not used to it yet. the threads on GS are much more personal in nature than other boards, so the rating may be less suitable here, but it may grow on us."
That's my thinking as well. Plus, you could get some mean spirited folks deliberately rating a thread low as some kind of vendetta. Hard to believe but there are actually folks who don't like each other here.
I was messing around with the vote thingee myself and rated the 'yo momma thread in the Humor forum a one *. It made the thread go from a ***** to a *** in just one vote and... I couldn't undo it afterwards. I had to post Adios to let her know what I had done and didn't mean it but I can certainly see how it could be abused. For that reason I no longer use the rating function at all.

AHAT,
We are in your neck of the woods once or twice a year when we go to NC to see Carol's family. I've thought about ringing some of you East TN folks up but we're usually making breakneck speed to make the trip at one sitting. Man, East TN is some gorgeous country! I've got an open invitation out, though, for anyone lolly gagging through Memphis to give me a call. I'd love to meet some GS'ers face to face.
Ex10, You might not believe this but I prefer Tops barbeque for sandwiches. I was raised on the stuff and don't particulary care for all the sweet sauces that are so popular here now. I like the old vinegar based sauces. You might know this already but remember Tom and Linda Mausolf? They divorced some time ago and she is now married to Art Polling but she was raised in Memphis and her daddy owned the Tops Barbeque restaurants!
I've found that if I want ribs done "right" I have to do them myself as I don't care for what you get in the restaurants around here. I'd have to agree with your mom that Gridley's is probably the best of the lot. Did you know they put cumin in their beans, though? Tastes funky to me.
I guess we Memphians take our barbecue pretty seriously, huh? (G)

HTML settings

Paw,
You haven't by any chance fiddled with the HTML settings in the last 24 hours have you? For some reason, I can't post a link in the Nostalgia thread using HTML today. It says HTML is turned on but when I post the link it's linked as: http://www.gscafe.com/lroom.org/public/users/bowdend/abr.wav. Some reason it wants to include the gscafe in the link even though I didn't put it there. I had to link it using UBB code but that makes it open in a separate window.
Any idea what's going on?
