So yall have already started.

Better Homes & Gardens.

Firing up the cast iron pot at 5am for the Brunswick stew. Everyone is invited. Oh yea Burley if you come bring some of that tobacco with you. ;D

Are you talking about the BWS ?

NO PETS you don't have time to take care of them properly.

You are right. God bless and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

The name should tell you something, if it's not a Jamison, Hampton Etc I don't stay. Go ahead and pay the extra bucks for a nice room and you will enjoy your vacation a lot more.

Thought you stayed in the mountains. Could we have a before and after of your yard? ;D

All those stores you just mentioned are history next year. I'm sure they will sale all of their INFO.

Hear Hear great job Dan.

Something in the back of my mind keeps popping up Dolphins also. I guess it's where we have been losing for so long. It has me wondering ( What If )

I down loaded IE7 and something just ain't right with it, can't lay my finger on it. It just doesn't run as smooth as IE6.

http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/blogs/steve_katz/2008/12/southern-auto-industry---some.php Apparently the Japanese have had enough of paying way too much to train under-educated southern workers and will move to Canada. Yea that is probably true, but we have the NC Educational Lottery now to help us spell and write and things are going to get better for us. You see we have learned to live off of next to nothing. Every dollar we make we have to give .50 cent to the ones that don't work so they can live too. ( That's where our new CEO got his idea from ) God Bless America

Who is Michael Thornton?

Do you have any Ground Hogs up that way? if so then that is probably what you are looking at.

A broke business is a broke business and you can throw all the money at it that you want to and it still will be a broke business. You can't borrow your self out of debt. When a company gets dumb enough to pay one man 50+ million a year and employee's 30+ per hour then there is no way it can survive. Have them move all the company's to eastern NC. The average worker earns less than 15 buck an hour and I will be the CEO for say $500 grand a year. Then we can all ride around in an American made car for half price. I say let them cut their salary's and tighten their belts and see if they can work it out instead of the country bailing them out.

I've got 4 of the Dewalts and they don't even come close to the 19v Craftmans drill. The best bits I can find are Hanson bits and I can't keep up with them. I also bought one of the Drill Doctors and it's a peace of junk too. Also I can't find my bubble gum smillie WHO moved it ?

After serious & cautious consideration . . . Your contract of friendship has been renewed for the New Year 2009! It was a very hard decision to make. So try not to screw it up!!! My Wish for You in 2009 May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet of $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips! May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy. May the problems you had forget your home address! In simple words . . . May 2009 be the best year of your life!!! Merry Christmas From Frogtog

I'm in the wrong world. :

Yea there is a lot of crap going around but I wouldn't put off opening the box. Might be something else in their that you can catch.

Our big town of Tarboro, NC goes to Chapell Hill, NC to play for the NCAA 2A State Championship football game friday night.

I draw money out of the bank, does this count.

Get you some Castor Oil that will keep it all coming out of one end. Hope you feel better soon.
