My son is somewhere in Arizona and thinks he's going to drive through the night to get to his home in Silverthorne. I am worried sick.

Merry Christmas Tug! Mud and I so wish we were going to be up in the Smokies for Christmas, but it looks like it's going to be a Louisiana Christmas for us. We got home for Thanksgiving and I am grateful for that- there is nothing in the world like seeing those mountains come into view and...

"If money can fix it, .... you really don't have a problem" I know that's not the right way to quote, but you get the idea. I am in complete agreement with 90- you don't have a small problem (in terms of gifting) you have NO problem. My kids are about your age and it would make me so sad to...

Welcome welcome JP! That is a pretty cool magazine- I'm going to print it up and put it in Mud's Christmas stocking for his on-the-can reading. Good suggestion!

Reggae all the way. When one of my sons got into Rap, I bought him every Bob and Ziggy cd I could find, with a little Tosh thrown in, too. Rap has it's roots in Reggae so I knew he'd love it. When he graduated I made a peace sign in Rasta colors for his mortorboard- a little much for our White...

Our sons are named Andy, Ben, Nathan, and Matthew. Our grandsons are named Caleb, Nathan, Brody, Jacob and River (If you knew my son Nate you would know River was the only name for a son of his- although they were going to name the baby River even if it was a girl- which I thought would've been...

Re: family lost I am so sorry for your loss. This is going to be a tough Christmas for you and your wife- we will keep you in our prayers. I am so grateful he got to see the baby and have their picture made- bless your hearts.

"Well, I'm a Southern boy, so no snow stories. But that front came through last night (awesome clouds!!).........temp dropped from 70 to 30 in an hour!!!!! Guess we're gonna have to move to the islands.........I hate the cold!!!" This is the first I've heard of this moving to the islands...

You know Nathan, I have to agree with you- especially the lying scum part. Having witnessed corruption at the local government level, I can't even imagine what occurs higher up. I really wonder if it's possible to have power without corruption. The only exception I can think of is my man Jimmy...

Thank you, Ian- we really appreciate your insight. And.....as a friend...you just get down here and I'll find at least 900 women who would be damn lucky to have you!! Are you one of those picky men that require teeth??..........oh,never mind!!

Sparky, I read each and every word and looked at each picture- it was as if I was there. Those pictures make me so homesick for the mountains of North Carolina- I understand it was beauiful there the last few weeks. I am so grateful you had a chance to go to your family farm and refresh your...

one year we glued some of those individual sized cereal boxes on my friends sweatshirt, stuck each box with a plastic knife and some fake blood and she went as a cereal killer.

Are points anything like Camel Dollars and if you get enough you get a free ashtray, or dart board or something?

Congrats and Yahhhhhoooooeeeee!!! from Mud and I. We had to leave a three week old grandson to come down here, and believe me, that was very hard. I was there for the birth and got to spoil him for a couple of weeks before the big move. I can hardly wait to go home for Thanksgiving and have him...

I can't believe I missed this thread!! Go for health care. Part time/PRN CNA (nursing assistant). You have to take a dinky little one day course or something like that. Ward clerk at a hospital- they have to fool around with all the charts- you can read all that stuff and become familiar with...

If you are moving all your appliances and have a whole bunch of big stuff (couches, dressers, beds) it might save you a lot of time to rent a truck for one day and move all the big stuff at once- much easier to load that stuff onto a big truck with a ramp than hoisting into a SUV. The boxes you...

I have that same recall Sparky on my 94 YJ, and my parking brake did spontaneously release, as I was hanging over the edge of our mountain on a sheet of ice. I had just gotten out and was standing there trying to figure out what to do next when the brake released and the car went flying forward...

Hey there and welcome!! Mud(man) and I are from Haywood County, NC and there are lots of great trails over here- Uwharrie has some great trails over by you, too. We'll be moving to Louisiana for the next few years while Mud builds a bridge over there and I take care of their old people, but...

Happy birthday Mud- I miss you so much. Mud is down in Louisiana and I am up here in North Carolina. He is staying in a motel the company chose and he doesn't have access to the internet- this after we got a new lap top for him to take down there! He'll be back up here for July 4th weekend and...

I stand by Mudman, whatever he decides- mudman's soul was born in the Smokies and I so admire him for even considering leaving. However, he has the skills they need down there to rebuild their bridges and his added income would leave me free to work less hours and so I could help out wherever...
