The Taylors' Front Porch
Pull up a chair! Have a sit-down an' shoot the breeze with us. Later on, maybe we'll go down to the drugstore to get a bottle of pop .  .  . maybe see what's showin' at the Grand .  .  .  . What you gonna do tonight, Barn?

March 13, 2010 - Msg 78180: Oh my stars! I'm sorry. There, that should fix it. --Romeena
March 13, 2010 - Msg 78181: Hey, wait a minute. I don't think I did that. If I did, then somebody else fixed it before I did. Thanks, mystery fixer. --Romeena
March 13, 2010 - Msg 78182: Sorry yall...SPOT
March 14, 2010 - Msg 78183:
Good sweep Romeena

Evening gang.
RO- you would just love this 50s place.
Tonite and every sat is "Sock Hop" nite.
I'm sure you remember those. My older sister used to add little felt doo-dads to her's and her date's socks, and head off to a sock hop in late 50s.
This place does it good. Tonite was great songs
like Chantilly Lace, Charlie brown, EarthAngel etc, and all these "old folks" (and many young folk BTW)in their socks and sup-hose! ha
I'm later, HS in the sixties, but I had my older
sister growing up to Pat Boone and others, so that rubbed off plenty on us other kids.
Well, I better hit the hay before Possum breaks into "Children behave, that's what they say when we're together.." haha
God bless,
MDC

Romeena, it was Floyd who fixed the bold problem. When he archived it, he broke the link to the defective message that now resides in the archives. So it was corrected automatically.
Poor SPOT ended his Msg 78178 with the forward slash after the B instead of in front of the B. That is why your Msg 78179 after his was all in bold.

I want to remind people that Daylight Savings Time occurs at 2am Sunday morning in many parts of the United States. Although equipment like computers, cellphones, televisions and cable boxes should automatically correct, your manual clocks and wrist watches will need to be advanced by one hour. Remember it's spring ahead and fall back. So we loose one hour of sleep in the spring.

Finally, as already noticed by a couple of you, I am concerned about the absence of TOM. He hasn't posted since Msg 78011 on March 2, 2010.

from Poor Horatio
March 14, 2010 - Msg 78186: Thanks, PH. I saw that forward slash in View/Source, so figured it wasn't my bold, but thanks for confirming it.

I just emailed Tom. It didn't bounce back, so I guess we can conclude that his email is working, and therefore (probably) his computer. I hope he checks in soon. I miss him and his poems.

Well, I'm off to preaching. I've got some dangly earrings that are little green and gold shamrocks. I hope they're not too worldly. --Romeena
March 14, 2010 - Msg 78187: Mornin' y'all! I don't like this Daylight Savings Time! At least not yet-perhaps I'll get used to it.

About Tom... I saw reports of flooding in West Virginia on the news this morning. Perhaps that is what has taken Tom away from posting. Sure hope he is well.

Sterling, when you come back from Naperville,IL and read my posts-please disregard what I said.It wasn't Naperville, IL after all- it was Niles, Michigan! LOL Can y'all tell I'm getting old and senile?! Well, at least they both start with an "N"- good grief! The funny thing is- I had another boyfriend with the last name Napier. I think I got myself all confused traipsing down Memory Lane! Ha!

Boo, any news on Jubi? I've had her on my mind a lot lately.

Y'all have a blessed Sunday- love to all!

March 14, 2010 - Msg 78188: Daylight Savings....groan....yawn...cough... I hate it now, but I will love it in a week or so. I like the way it will stay daylight longer now. Come summer, it will be light until 9pm here. Makes for long summer days, but the sun starts to get low in the sky after six or so and those 2 or three hours before dark are the best of the day...love those summer sunsets and sittin' on the porch with a glass of tea, enjoying that southern breeze.

Prayers for TOM. Hope all is well.

Morning Possum, yes I have news on Jubi and it's good. She had a routine CT last week and she is still cancer free! Keep praying for her.

HOW DID YOU MAKE THOSE MUSICAL NOTES, Possum? Very cool.

Better get ready for preachin'

Boo
March 14, 2010 - Msg 78189: Poor Horatio, I have lost more than one hour of sleep lately, especially last night, as we drove the 4 hours back from Naperville and didn't get back home until 2 am, which with the time change, was now 3 am. Then I didn't get to sleep until about 4. Ugh.

Don't worry about it Possum. I think I would rather have been in Niles, Michigan, at least they didn't have an Up With People show there. Don't really care for that organization. I mean, they are good, technically and all, but there is something missing. I think it has something to do with when they took God out of their shows, as they used to be a Christian organization. Now they just do the usual secular-humanist themes.

March 14, 2010 - Msg 78190: It is a sunny Sabbath Day here in NC; a little windy, but it is a beautiful day. Hope everyone is doing okay.
MDC, it's really nice that you have a Sock Hop night to attend. The only musical gatherings we have in my area is bluegrass concerts in Mt. Gilead, NC. Even though I love bluegrass music(which is very popular in this area), it would be nice to have a place to go to hear 50's music and see all the great dances they did then.
Possum, how is your daughter doing? Hope her nursing career is going well.
Prayers for Tom and all the porchsters.

March 14, 2010 - Msg 78192: Wonderful news on Jubi,Boo! Will keep praying,for sure!

How do I make these ♪ ♫ ? Ancient Chinese secret,Boo! Ha! I'd tell ya, but then Floyd would come gunning for me if the Porch got broken!

Spot- it's bad enough that you PIDDLE at and around the barn,but don't let your Daddy do that! Y'all need Depends or something? Ha!
Yeah, we came up with all kinds of symbols that one time,didn't we spot? I never could make the faces like you could,though. But I can do this ♣
and this ☼ -can you??

Sorry about your co-worker's wife,by the way,spot.

Hey C Darlin'! Daughter is doing home health care-mostly working with elderly. She really enjoys her work. Thanks for asking about her.

Well, Sterling, there's always the Apple Festival in Niles, Michigan- that's where Tommy James got tomatoes thrown at him during the parade,so I've heard!

Well, I was going to the dentist tomorrow,but got a reprieve until Tuesday.

Spot, did you call Romeena "spicy"? I just glanced up at your post again. Ya better watch out for Miss Sherry! Ha!

Well, goodnight, Mayberry.Sweet dreams,all.

March 14, 2010 - Msg 78194: I understand, Possum (about the letters). I would be too afraid to try it anyways.

Hey to Sterling. Glad you are home safe and sound.

It's not even 11 and I am about to fall asleep at the computer so i guess I should turn in. Luckily, this coming week is spring break and the kids don't have school, so I can sleep in if my eyes will let me. I always seem to wake up early no matter what, darn it!

See you all tomorrow with my morning coffee.

BOO

PS- did any of you see the new show on TLC about hoarders? That is such a sad disorder.
March 14, 2010 - Msg 78195: Me? Spicy? Ha! Well, I do take a cinnamon capsule every day. Cinnamon is a spice, right? Also, I just love salsa, and prefer it to have some bite, so if you mean that kind of spicy, then it's true. Other than that, well -- I'll never tell!

Well, back to my TV. The local public TV channel is airing "The Funny Ladies of British Comedy", hosted by Penelope Keith. It's clips of the funnier scenes from the Britcoms over the years, and it's really good.

See you all tomorrow. --Romeena


March 14, 2010 - Msg 78196: Yes, Boo, I saw that show and it's scary. I look at my closets and cabinets and wonder.... --Romeena
March 15, 2010 - Msg 78197:
Hello porch family....back home from my TN trip. Pretty much a wet trip but a good one.

Spot...sad to hear about your co-workers wife.

Tom...check in buddy when you can.

Well I've got to get some sleep. You all have a great night and be sure to tell someone about Jesus tomorrow!
Love and prayers

This version of The Taylor's Front Porch has been created to pay our respect to the original porch found on Mayberry.org. Thanks to Frank for all the work he did for Mayberry on the web. We've tried to make this just like Frank's Porch. This is also a tribute to Ollie's "Trivialities" site which was another homage to Frank's porch but is no longer with us.
