This topic was orginally going to be called Salty Crackahs w/ a dash of Pappy and a side of Skiddles! BAM! - Dedicated to Steve Adkins

The idea for this topic came up over on the CC Forum but the naming thing was just getting out of hand (You had to be there....)  Besides, we want EVERYONE to feel welcome to come here to chat about whatever is on their minds..... (Is that ok Patti? If not, I hope you can delete it.)
Some of us felt that we needed a "general town meeting place" to just chat about the weather or whatever, to be - or not to be...... serious.


Perhaps some who have been hesitant to chat on the other topics will be more comfortable testing their wings in here. If a subject comes up in here that pertains to the other topics, we'll scoot on out there to the other forums and chat it up!

Re: Recent Postings on CC forum:

Awwww Steve... I think someone was reading something they weren't supposed to weren't they???

I'll forgive you cause I'm just the forgiving type.

I really am glad that we have you and Patti to keep watch over us and remind us when we are being nasty. Sometimes the Crackah gets on a roll and needs to be reigned in!

Wow! Mexico! You are quite the world traveler aren't you? Should have named this topic "Where in the world is Steve Adkins!" So, how is it down there??? How's the weather?? Don't drink the water! Watch out for those "people - snatching taxis" I hear they have down there!! Hurry home! 

Bama Baby....

How do you do that thing with the wiggly eyed smiley????  :shock: My eyes just sit there... not wiggling!  See?  I'm trying!   :shock:  There are just too many buttons on here for my little ol' brain to figure out!

Do we have to chat about Hockey??  I will... cause I'll chat about just about anything,  but keep in mind that Gretzky was my only trivial pursuit hockey answer whenever the subject came up... other than that, I am hockey dumb.  I will do research though so I can keep up.  Poker is more my speed.

Sirens? What Sirens?

Crackah just keep on watching. You never know who may come to the playground to play. I'm kind'a liking this forum as I have a lot of "nothing" to talk about.

Hola, y'all! Como estau usted, or somethin' like that?

I like what you've done with the place, Crackah! Maybe I'll just set on the porch a bit and watch you younguns play. Maybe do me a little whittlin'.

That was a nice little tour you took us on at the Town Hall a few posts back, Crackah. I enjoyed that, even if it was a tight fit. I thought maybe since you was bein' all nice lately I might could borrow a blade to whittle with, but it looks like you're not done usin' that there Barlow knife yet! Tee hee.

I don't reckon we'll ever get a visit from What's-her-name, now that she-haw, she-haw, she-haw's the Top Vote-Getter of all time!

I wonder if El Padre de Summerfield ever got to the bottom of his mailing problem yet? Ain't heard nothin' outta the boy lately. Maybe he decided to move on and carve another town out of the wilderness.

Well...

See??? I tried to answer you Pappy and just talk about christmas lights and stuff.  Steve would be so proud of me! 

Then something happened that was totally beyond my control and I just HAD to press the reply button again to ask you if you was whittlin' one of those she-hawin' donkeys to put up in the town square... 

Figgered Steve would still be proud of me since I used the word donkey.....

And there are just too dang many laughin' tears in my eyes to answer you on the wilderness comment but BOY-O was that funny!!!

Cowabunga.  No estoy tomando la agua en Mexico, pero espero que esta en la agua en Summerfield esta semana!!!  O quizas la luna esta lleno ???  Aparece como todos estan preparando para Navidad?

(Translate - I'm not drinking the water in Mexico, but I'm wondering what is in the water in Summerfield this week!!!   Or maybe it's a full moon???  Seems like everyone is getting in the Christmas spirit? )

Cracker - good job on the political correctness using "donkey".  Yes, you get the good blogger award for the day !!!:dude::dude::dude:   Good Job on the "fun" site, we need to horse around a little.

We're all proud of you, Crackah!

If I was to carve one of them she-hawin' donkeys, some citizen might write a professionally crafted letter to the ACLU demandin' the earth stop rotatin' until I produce the statue-tory authority by which I carved it. Furthermore, any exhaled carbon-dioxide used in growin' the tree from which the wood came must be recaptured and refunded to the people.

I'd be more worried about the SPCA claimin' I was denegratin' the image of innocent donkeys everywhere.

Love the page Crackah!  ;) 

I wish Bama woud visit, too.  If Bama would teach us how to wiggle then we could decorate the page with a string of wiggle  for Christmas.  You know like this, but wiggling. A santa hat would be nice also.

:D:?:D:X;):(:):cool::shock::cool::X;):(:P:X:cool::shock::?:D:P:X;):(:):D:P:X:cool::shock::?:D:P:X;):(

Glad to see that people are showing up here.  There seem to be a lot of people watching:shock: (try to imagine eyes wiggling.)

Lets get festive and get this page decorated, it has to be easier than climbing into my attic.

While we are on the subject of decorating, I have something that I would like to talk about. I don't mean to offend anyone, I save that for the CC, but can somebody explain the crochet covers that people tend to cover everything with.

Now why in the world would you want to cover your toilet paper. Everybody may not be like me, but when I need it, I NEED it. I don’t find myself wanting to fiddle with taking the cover off. Some of the covers have life like features, you know they look like a doll. Darn if I want that thing sitting behind me on the tank starring at me in the bathroom. I ‘d never be able to concentrate.

Now we drink soft drinks at my house and I have seen covers for these as well. The Pepsi label looks just as attractive sitting on the counter as the "oops I forgot to put sleeves in my dogs sweater" cover that is used for the soft drink. What is wrong with putting the drink in the frig or the cabinet?

Now the Kleenex box I can understand. That could be attractive. Lets face it if it is an emergency situation and the cover gets in your way then you can jump over to the toilet paper roll, if it is not covered and address your needs.

Now I am from the south and enjoy a craft now and then, but I am just not sure that the pink hooped skirted Barbie covering my toilet paper is for me.

The other day I visited a neighbor and walked into her den. For heaven's sake she had a stuffed cow wearing a skirt standing in the middle of her living room. It looked like a kids toy, but it was very tall. It had a stuffed head, ears, arms and a long skirt, it was holding a sign that said "milk". It was one of the cutest cows I have ever seen, really had personality. I wanted to ask if the family had named her. There it sat, right smack dab in the middle of the living room.

Well I am a bit nosey, so I had to go over and see what was underneath the skirt that touched the floor, I lifted the skirt just a bit and I'll be, there was indeed a vacuum cleaner hidden under that cow.

When I looked at the vacuum cleaner it was bright red and purple, it looked like one of those expensive models. It looked pretty powerful too, you know like it could suck up her last born child or something. I wondered why you just don't hide the vacuum cleaner in the closet, rather than under a black and white cow. Anyone who entered the room would think it was rather odd and know that you are hiding something. You are really not keeping any secrets here.

I believe that there is an entire world of decorating styles that I have missed out on. I now know you can most likely hide just about anything. What if you covered everything, would you have trouble finding things. Your husband would walk up, well, this is not likely to happen, but if it did, "honey where is the broom?" What would you say "in the laundry room beside the pig and the horse?"



You are groggy when you wake up in the morning and the cover colors are similar for the tooth paste and the Preparation H. This could potentially be a huge problem. The little issue that you have going on is not going to get cleared up with the Crest.

 What if you covered the aerosol products in the bathroom. Hypothetically (this never happened to me) lets say you had aerosol Secret (strong enough for a man, but made for a woman) and then you had Aussie extra hold hair spray and you mixed these two up. OK this did happen to me once and mine are not even covered. I walked around with arm pits smelling like a citrus kangaroo and couldn’t lift my arms all day because this was, EXTRA HOLD. That wasn’t the worst part, before I realized what I had done, I sprayed my hair with Secret. I looked like Cruella D’Ville with a white stripe going across my head. So I am here to tell you people things can get confusing even without these covers.

You go to sit down on the couch, it too is covered. You mistake the pile of laundry for the couch, the neighbors across the street see your feet fly out from under you, your beer spray the stereo system and your head hit whatever is covered with the llama. Yes they saw you from all the way across the street....with their telescope that you didn’t even know they had, you guessed it honey, it was covered and you thought all along it was a vacuum cleaner.

I think this is an issue that we need to address as a town. We need to watch out for each other and really be careful of those neighbors who are crocheting. We could form a neighborhood watch or something, a list of people who are involved in this. I do not want to think that one day we might be interviewed on the news and have to say "you know she was such a nice little old lady, we had no idea." People be aware.
