Well - I think we will be off to Walmart for a new aquarium pump. Tonight is "Homemaker's School" where I get to learn new recipes and have a chance at door prizes. I am excited about going to that! I think it is apropo for me to go to Homemaker's school - what do you think!

Alas, I'm growing old... I wonder what causes that?

Goodness, all these memories! Does anyone recall little Teddy Snowcrop? How about the little Alka-Seltzer commercial that featured a little ticked-off stomach, with little tubes dangling here and there, as he scolded his human for eating the wrong thing?
Now if you really want to match memories, you need to know that I wore a felt poodle-skirt, complete with a little chain leash on the poodle, and I wore more petticoats than Scarlett O'Hara. Footwear included bobbysox and penny loafers most of the time, and for one period of time we wore black ballerina slippers, no socks. The slippers lasted about a week, but fortunately weren't expensive. We also wore four-inch-wide elastic belts that cinched our waists in until we looked like a bunch of red ants. Very uncomfortable, but we didn't care.
Well, that's my memories for tonight. -- Romeena

The homemakers school was wonderful - I can't wait to get all the things I need to make the manicotti recipe. It looked deeelicious!

If you ask my husband Asa, my red head has a whole lot of gray. It just makes me more distinguished! And it is a natural red too - no bottle red for me. My youngest didn't have a chance (great grandfather and great grandmother on his daddy's side, daddy with a little red and momma with a lot of red!) One of of my children had to be a red head. People still ask me where he got the red hair and I say, it was the milkman's fault!

Have a good evening and I'll talk to you later!

I like the Union High thing! by the way!

Sorry you have a pain in the neck, Hazel. Do you remember when Goober was laid up at Andy's with a fake back pain. Then he ended up giving Andy one.
HA HA. Maybe heat would help you. Today my cub scout son was in a prade down Main Street in town. How Americana is that? It looked good to see all of the flags waving and the band playing. I appreciated it more this year after these last couple of months. America is still great and always will be!! I like the Union High Yearbook idea, too. Homemaker the receipe sounds delish!
Maybe we could have a recipe swap sometime. I can fix a mean PB&J. :) Asa glad to be hearing from you again. Like I said before, I'm new, but have been reading your post for a while. I think red-heads are great people, after all I'm one too!

Speaking of hair, gotta go get mine cut. Wish Floyd would cut women's hair, maybe he wouldn't be quite so expensive. Mavis, I wish you lived in my part of Mayberry. My Sugarplum's little puppy feet need a good grooming. Guess I'll do them myself, but I'm sure you'd do it a sight better!--Romeena

Then a few weeks later I discovered this place. I quickly discovered that someone already had that name (she doesn't post very often), so after a brief identity crisis, I became Hazel.

Hey Homemaker, they say using wood to heat your house warms you thrice. Once when you cut it, once when you burn it, and I don't remember the third one so maybe it's only twice.

Asa
October 27, 2001 - Msg 2868: Maybe the third one is when you see some feller on the corner selling wood for dirt cheap and you went to all that trouble to cut it yourself, so you do a slow burn. ha ha (I'm very funny) Asa, you don't know who Hazel is? A lot of people probably think I named myself after the lady that plays piano for the town choir; but I prefer to think that my namesake is from the episode "Andy forecloses", where he evicts Frank Myers from his house. Franks chicken's name was "Hazel". Remember she sat on the couch beside Andy? I grew up on a farm and had several pet chickens. That is until my dad got aholt of em. Then we had Sunday dinner.

There are some around here who sell would as a business but I have never seen it cheap. Most charge a fair price and an even fairer price to the poor city people (those in Cincinnati).

Can't imagine Budweiser making things crash.I'll pass along the message. We've got enough problems with all of the pill popping going on around here. :) (Get well everybody). Bat eggs and bacon tomorrow for breakfast. We
might can find a left over chicken leg or devils food cake if nobody likes bat eggs. Everybody have a good work week. Salty Dog, in your line of business, I hope your not busy. Tomorrow is "School day, school day, good ole happy rule day". My daddy used to get me out of bed that way. Now I'm going through school again. God has a sense of humor doesn't he. Nite all.

His porch sounds warmer than mine is.Am I the only person around here not a redhead? Mines very dark brown. O.K. heres my trivia question. There are two people who are mentioned frequently on TAGS but were never seen.
Who were they? Hope you all have a good day. I have ten hours ahead of me at work. But it wont be too bad. The leaf lookers have all went home now, so it won't be to busy hopefully. I have it made anyway, my manager has a tv/vcr on the counter so, I've been taking my TAGS videos to work!! Now, I've got the other workers watching TAGS all the time too. Ya'll have a good one and don't be a takin too many pills.--Salty Dog
October 29, 2001 - Msg 2918: Aw, gee thanks, AngeFan. It tweren't nothin. You know how I feel about fuss and falderol. Lord knows the job itself is reward enough.

Thank you Mavis for all of your hard work - you're a treashuh!
Asa - I am so glad that you are feeling better. I didn't want to haras$ you too bad when you were feeling poorly but hey, but hey, no more sympathy from this corner.
Good to hear from you Fun Girl - we have kind of lost track of each other. How's little Opie doing in school? Just wondering?

Free left over bat eggs (for prosperity) to the winner. I could use your TUMS AngeFan after this mornings breakfast. Hey, guess what? My son has red hair just like mine. Be glad to rub it anytime for ya. He looks a LOT like Opie.You have a great Monday too, homemaker What do you teach? Happy it's the last night. Hazel, hope the Doc helps. I thought I would need some of yours or Asa's pills. Got up this morning and could not walk on my foot. A good soakin' helped. It's the 1st anniversary of when I broke my other foot. Maybe it was all in my mind. Maybe Emmas sugar pills would work.--Helen

I declare, all you poorly-feelin' folks! Here I am, older'n dirt, and I feel fine! Guess I'd better count my blessings.
I "called the man" last week, and my guest bathroom is gettin' a makeover. Did you know you can bust up a cast-iron bathtub with a sledgehammer? Well, you can. It'll just shatter. Wonder what causes that? Anyhow, it's sure gonna look nice when he finishes in there. After 27 years, it's about time. I've-had-just-about-enough-of-that-harvest-gold-bathtub!

What was Goober's down payment when he purchased the fillin' station'? Let's see who get's this one. Where is Raphe? He may get some. Come on Helen!!! You honestly think I would give a way my TUMS. I have you know it's only 36 tablets a bottle and the bottle's half empty. Well I guess I would give a few. I suppose I would give someone the whole bottle if and only they need them. Here are a few @@@@@@@@@.

After a looooonnnnnggggg weekend, I had dirty laundry up to you know where to get clean. Thankfully it's a beautiful day to hang it out on the porch and enjoy these last few warm days. We had a bust weekend with the ham & oyster supper Saturday all day, and then a harvest party here last night. Loved it, just loved it. Lost of fine folks dropping by the porch for a chat. Real neighborly of them. Missed all of you though. So sorry to hear all the ailin' loved ones, will keep ya in our prayers. Asa ya sure are upping yourself. Sounds like you're feeling better. Just be careful , don't want ya over doin' it too soon. Well, how about the Redskins? We don't talk about them and they win. (Thats the last I say anything this week about them) Got to get the next load out..~~~~~~~~~New Neighbor

October 29, 2001 - Msg 2939: Hey, Helen. I'm guessing your mom's house was built in the late 60's or early 70's? Mine was built in 1973, with all gold appliances and fixtures, and (of course)"earth-tones" carpet, which meant a rust color. Lots of semi-dark paneling, too. The tub is the last of the gold to go, the carpet is a light beige now, the brown-and-rust wallpapers were replaced with white-on-ivory, and the paneling remains as it was. Looks lovely now against the lighter accents. It's almost as pretty as the bedroom Barney and Aunt Bee created for Andy when they thought he was getting married. No canopy over the beds, though! I'll bet your mom is as glad to see the gold stuff go as I've been. Tell her I said congratulations for finally getting it done!--Romeena
October 29, 2001 - Msg 2940: So Romeena, who do you root for now?
What did the Doc. say Hazel, we're no spring chickIns anymore? hee hee

Romeena, Mom's house was built in "76. In the middle of the harvest "gold" rush! I know your house is beautiful. Sure sounds like it. You'll be glad you 'called the man'. Which episodes did you watch today, Salty Dog. I would LOVE to get all of the episodes on tape. Does anyone know where I might find them? All 249 or as many as I can get. Asa I can tell you feel better. I told you this week would be better. How do you change the fonts on the porch? I would 'preciate all the info.--Helen

October 29, 2001 - Msg 2943: Oh, yeah, Asa, almost forgot. The Doc said the petula abundalla aint in the neck, it's in the leg. He thinks I have a pinched nerve. Sure hurts a lot, I was sure I'd have some fancy sounding ailment. He did say no more guarding the bank for you, he thinks it was caused by my gun making me walk uneven. But I told him flat out, NO, I made a promise and I intend to keep that promise. I will finish out the week for you.
