No time change in the Hoosier state unless you live near a bordering metropolitan area. So half of my schools are on fast time and half stay just where they are - slow! I prefer this time of the year - we are able to watch our shows one hour earlier - so I will get to see some that I usually fall asleep through. The 10 o'clock news will be at 9 o'clock - it takes a little to get used to but I like it just fine. There is always a big fight in the legislature about the time change but do we go with Chicago and stay central or do we go with the Eastern states -

You're welcome, Mrs. Wiley. What does Andy say to Barney in the rest of that scene..."If I was Vicky Harmes today, and a 35 year old man came to my house with a snow cone in his hand I wouldn't even answer the door."
Thanks for all that good grub, pipeman. And I'll take strawberry shortcake for breakfast any day! : ) Hope all goes well at the Doc's tomorrow.
What a bummer - got 2 UConn teams as nat'l champs. : ( I was hoping that the Lady Vol's would pull it off. Oh well, maybe next year.

Good luck at the Doctor, Pipeman! Hope everything turns out ok.
Well, I guess now it's not supposed to rain here for the rest of the week or the weekend. I'm not complaining, but how can they get the forecast so wrong? It's still supposed to be cooler though; that hasn't changed.
I can honestly say I am sick of winter. I mean, I like it at the beginning and during, but at the end I wish it would just leave, instead of hanging around with that cool nip in the air. It's like Andy's Uncle(?) who came to visit and wouldn't leave. But unfortunately I can't scare winter away by inviting it to capture some bad guys with me. :)

Someone mentioned that Gregory Peck would be a good nickname for SRM. If'n I was a male, I would want that nickname! Someone else mentioned they saw Cape Fear. You saw the new one, you have to see the old one with Gregory Peck, I like that one much better. (I have to admit I like that purty man!)
Can you believe that Spot brought out the cloth napkins? He's far too good for us! ;)
Hey Will, I don't think you are missing out on drinking! But if a birthday on Easter cures someone of drinking I know of a few people who need a birthday transplant! ;)

Hi to all. Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Daddy's birthday party was really nice.My first time at makeing potatoe salad, I guess it came out ok, no one got sick from it. I do have to say that makeing potatoe salad is a lot of work. Boiling, peeling, chopping, mixing. From now on I will appreicate anyone who goes to all that trouble and make sure I thank them.Marcia got called into work so she couldnt be at the party. Sent her home some food, this is what she ate. 3 bratworst, a big bowl of baked beans, 2 bbq pork sandwiches, bowl of potatoe salad, a bowl of pasta salad and all the cake I sent home for the 2 kids. Washed it all down with a six pack of bud light. Mary maybe we should call her Jethro. Love to all. Rosie

Hey everyone. I'm a new "poster," but have enjoyed this site and TAGS for a long time. I just read a post on tvshowsondvd.com that many of you might be interested in. Sorry if this has already been posted. Cheers, Tom.
"It seems that all the attention which has been heaped upon The Andy Griffith Show - by way of TVLand's Legend Award, great ratings on the reunion show from last year, and general fan demand - not to mention a pretty good ranking here at TVShowsOnDVD to boot! - has not been lost on Paramount, the studio which officially owns this property.
Even though more than a dozen DVDs are on the market featuring episodes from that series, all of them are part of the same small group of "public domain" episodes which feature bad video quality, due to lack of remastering (since the companies involved don't have the right to access the original material and do restoration work on it). Those meager releases don't even begin to touch the legacy of this beloved series, which ran for 249 episodes over 8 seasons.
Now it has come to our attention that Paramount Home Video has got this show in their sights...and are determined to aim at it better than ol' Barney Fife. A DVD package for The Andy Griffith Show - Season 1 is in-the-works, and could possibly even reach store shelves before the year is out. That last part is unsure, but the fact is that this IS coming.
And that's all we can tell you for now. Stay tuned, and we'll bring you more on this just as soon as we can. Get ready to party, Mayberry-style!"

Greetings Porch!
I will wish you all a Blessed Easter, since I am going to take a little trip tomorrow. I always host the shindigs at my house, but this time I am going to get away from it all. I feel so guilty, though! I have bachelor brothers (3) and bachelor brother in law, and my in-laws, and my own two older children, and here I am leaving them all on their own! Dirty me, dirty me, I'm disgusted with myself! Oh well, I promised them all an Easter dinner next Sunday! This Sunday I will be able to hear a very dear friend of mine preach the Easter service. This man spent 15 years in prison, and after 10 years he had a conversion experience and the last 5 years he spent in prison he witnessed to all the other prisoners. He has been out of prison now for going on 20 years, and he is the most stable, wise, caring person I know. This is going to be a real treat!
Tom, I hope you have an Easter poem for us, you always bless us with the most timely poems!
MDC, I have been watching the news reports about Iraq and the middle east with great concern, and I want to assure you I am praying for all the men and women in harm's way, including your relatives. They are a blessing to all of us back here at home, and if there is any way you can relate our heartfelt thanks to them, please do so!
Mary, I made baskets for all my children, (even though I won't be here) and they are 22, 20, and 6! (I knew that 6 would shock you, it shocked me!) I also make baskets for my 3 nieces and 1 nephew, I just can't seem to help myself!
Well, this message is probably getting way yonder too long, so I will close for now. Y'all have a wonderful Easter filled with God's promise of new life!
