"Hi, guys! I've missed you. About a month ago I didn't unplug during a storm
and blew my mother board figure. My computer has been in the shop for a month
of Sundays. (Literally!) I borrowed my kids' old AST (which is my old
computer - the one I used when I first came to the Porch in Sept. of '96 -
soooo long ago....) and installed AOL temporarily until I can get my *real*
computer back! I've tried for weeks to post here, but this old Web-O-Matic
(lol) won't let me for some reason, so I'm asking Junior to please pass this
on for me. If anyone has mailed me at my satx.rr.com address, rest easy
I'll get it eventually, but can't access it right now.
Anyway, I've missed y'all and hope to be back online FOR REAL (lol) soon. I
was reading the messages and saw some names from the old Porch, which made me
very happy! Can't wait to be able to yak at y'all again.
RIP, Carroll O'Connor. We loved you so much. My mom is still in mourning; he
was like a family member. Thank you again Miss Ellie for directing me to his
website eons ago. I used to love to read the messages. Was always too scared
to post, though. He can (oops, COULD - can't quite grasp that just yet) be

Hey Mavis, I wish I had known about the Varsity and them there hot dogs and onion rings back in May of 1990. That there Opie look-alike was 3 (count em 3) weeks overdue. He was a powerful purty baby though. I reckon he was worth the wait. It is hot and muggy here in the southern part of the Hoosier state. Hey Homemaker, what say we go up town and get a bottle of pop?

I was mistaken about Lil Opie being on the cover of the magazine, he was in two pictures in the inside.

Can anybody out there tell me the name of the song or songs that always make Charlene Darlin Wash cry? I am stumped. Thank ya kindly.

The cat's are doing ok Ellie. Sadly, we lost one of our kittins (Burt), but Squirt is doing well. The grown-ups are "tolerating" him. Bless his little heart. I'll keep a good thought for your kitty.
Have a Mayberry kind of day, everyone,

I'll meet you Fun Girl at Wally's but my I'll have to pull my boys along in
in the wagon. If that's okay.

I think Barney is downright good son - a septic tank was a wonderful gift. My daddy once gave my mommasome carpeting for the living room and he liked it so good he ran it all the way out to the bathroom. That was high livin'!

For the Mayberry Record, "Wilkum" is PA Dutch for welcome.Good news! I've found my Front Porch name. Kathy from Lancaster, PA will now be known as Fifer. I'd like to explain how I arrived at this. My 9 year old son's favorite TAGS character is Barney. I personally think Don Knotts as Barney Fife is an institution. And ... are you ready for this? My next love, after TAGS is Civil War hisory and I play the fife! Cool? I think so. Happy to share this with you. I'd love to hear how others have come up with their "Porch" names.Do tell.
