I was just turned on to the unusual work of David Paulides. He has been investigating disappearances in our national parks...I don’t know what to think about it all - and I live with both feet firmly planted in the supernatural world. I do know that hiking in national parks is now off my list of things to do. One of…

J.C.? Well holler next time you come over the mountain and we’ll meet up for a beer!

I just moved over to Asheville...a mere 40 minutes away, and I’m somewhat disoriented by the lack of orange. But yep, we may well have been neighbors. :)

TOTALLY a thing in East TN. 2 orange cars, 2 orange trucks in my neighborhood; each tricked out with as much Vols stuff as the vehicle will hold. And one had orange rims.

Balls. Well shit, LGSSW. I am so sorry that this has come into your life, and I am sending all the positive energy that I can muster up for you today, and will continue to do so as the days go on. And if you’re interested in a bit of distance healing via Reiki, hit me up via PM. Every little bit helps, even if it just…

Talk about six degrees...one of my friends , Peter Marshall’s step-daughter, dated one of their sons.

Fucking Kinja...my first post disappeared...

And by the way...I’ve slowly turned into Madea.

Happy birthday! Counter to what people say, only gets better from here (says the woman who is about to turn 57). When i hit my 40’s, I realiized that telling people to fuck off was perfectly fine, so go on with your bad Helen Mirren self! I hope you’re having a wonderful day and celebrating yourself.

I work for mt city’s Parks & Rec department. This is not unusual.

“Also, I would honestly encourage people not to visit hospitals run by the church.”

Thank you. I’ve had a crappy day and I’m about to have a crappy evening. I really, really needed this.

Yep. That about sums it up.

Well, we Clampetts love us some ‘Shine! Your Granny must be awesome.

Oh the reasons are many. MANY. But we’re cool with each other now. Some folks make better friends than partners. I handed him off to his fiancee with my blessings and an offer of a user’s manual if she should ever need one.

That’s exactly what we did. First we combined our names by hyphenating them- which went over like a turd in a punchbowl with the judge overseeing the name change. Poor Former Mr. Clampett got so much flack for it because people just didn’t get it. Granted, this was 30 years ago and combining names just wasn’t done.…

This right here is exactly what makes living in Asheville great.

Oh how this spoke to me! I came of age in the 60’s and 70’s. My mother was one of the first women in our town to join the NAACP. I remember race riots, my sister panicking because she had to go to the bathroom and asking my mother what color she was so that she would be sure to go into the right one. And yes, I…

Amen.

Yes! It sits on my Aunt’s coffee table. I love this book! The hats are to die for, each one better than the last.
