| Stealing a Vehicle License Plate ...new one to me...c&p |
Jun 7, 2008 3:45 pm
222 Views | A woman said her son found his license plate missing so he called the police to file a report. They told him people were stealing the plates to get free gas. Given the rise in gas prices, people have taken to stealing license plates, putting them on their car, then getting gas and running. The gas station will have "your" license plate # and you could be in trouble for "pump and run."
Check your car periodically to be sure you still have a plate. If you should find it missing, file a report immediately!!! Keep an eye on your license plate! Make sure you always know it's there! When the license plate is reported as the "drive off vehicle", it's YOU they contact! Be aware!!!! Be aware of your license plates , most of us never look to see if the plates are there or not. | |

| Fencepost Turtle |
May 29, 2008 8:29 pm
247 Views | While stitching up the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher, who got cut on a gate while working cattle, the rural doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our President.
The old rancher said, Well, ya know, Obama is what I call a fencepost turtle. Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a fencepost turtle was. The old rancher said, When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's called a fencepost turtle
The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain. You know he didn't get up there by himself, he definitely doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there, and you just gotta wonder what kind of a idiot put him up there in the first place!''
Received from a friend today. Enjoy! | |

195 Views | Dat's what I'M TAWKIN' BOUT!!!!
Thibodeaux had 50-yard line tickets for the Sugar Bowl.As he sits down, a man comes down and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next
to him.'Mais, no', says Thibodeaux, 'Dat seat be empty, yeah.''That's incredible,' said the man. 'Who in their right mind would Have a seat like this for the Sugar Bowl, the biggest sporting event of the year for LSU, the
SEC champions, when they make it to the Sugar Bowl for the national championship, and then not use it?'
Thibodeaux says, 'Dat seat belong wit me, yeah. I wuz comin' wit my Wife, but she done pass on. Dis de first LSU football game we didn't Came wit each udder since we bin married in 1960.' 'Oh...I'm sorry to hear that. That's
terrible. But couldn't you Find someone else --- a friend or relative, or even a neighbor to Take the seat? Thibodeaux shakes his head sadly. 'No.. Dey all at de funeral.' | |

| Things ALL Georgians should know........c&p |
May 13, 2008 5:57 pm
271 Views | There are some things that all Georgians should know.
Coca Cola is ours, and unless you've had one in a green six-and-a-half ounce bottle,
with a slight crust of ice on top, you don't know what the real thing is.
And you might want to try pouring about half a pack of salted peanuts into one sometime.
If it weren't for a Georgian-Crawford Long of Jefferson---open-heart surgery would hurt like hell.
True Georgians say 'ma'am and sir' and call their mothers 'mama' and their fathers 'daddy'.
They know that y'all is perfectly good English and never means just one person.
'Fixin to' is perfectly acceptable, too.
And if y'all don't like the way we talk, Delta (which is also ours) is ready when you are.
Long before the Olympics brought the world's greatest athletes to Atlanta,
we gave the world Ty Cobb, Jackie Robinson, Walt Frazier, Luke Appling, Johnny Mize, Fran Tarkenton, Bobby Jones, Wyomia Tyus, and Herschel Walker.
If you don't know who these people are, you ought to find out before you go to bed tonight.
Long after the Atlanta Olympics have faded from memory, the greatest tournament in golf will still be played in Augusta every April, with or without Jessie Jackson's and Martha Burke's approval, and on autumn Saturdays, 90,000 or so Red-and-Black faithful will gather in Athens for a prayer meeting between the hedges.
No matter how many times the Braves play in the World Series, nothing will match the excitement of that first one.
The Stone Mountain carving is lots bigger than the one on Mt. Rushmore and the people etched into the side of Stone Mountain deserve the honor. It wasn't just about slavery.
Atlanta was called 'the city too busy to hate,' back in the sixties, because it really was, and we should be proud of that fact.
In 1864 Sherman burned Atlanta and much of Georgia in his March to the sea.
Crack cocaine is bringing more harm to Atlanta than Sherman ever dreamed of.
We don't grow the most peaches, but we still deserve to be called the 'Peach State' because ours are the sweetest.
That includes the Georgia peaches that don't grow on trees.
We do produce the most peanuts, pecans, and poultry.
Elvis wasn't ours, but Otis Redding, James Brown, the Allman Brothers, Johnny Mercer, Joe South , Ray Charles, Bill Anderson, Brenda Lee,
Trisha Yearwood and Alan Jackson are.
So are Sidney Lanier, Joel Chandler Harris, Margaret Mitchell and Alice Walker.
And I still miss Lewis Grizzard every day.
Julia Roberts may be Georgia's prettiest movie star, but Holly Hunter is the most talented.
Dakota Fanning may one day surpass them both.
FDR adopted us. His 'Little White House' in Warm Springs is exactly as it was the day he died there, near the end of World War II.
Every Georgian needs to visit Warm Springs.
Roosevelt's New Deal put Georgians to work
and turned an entire generation of her people into 'yellow Dog' Democrats.
Georgia once had three governors at the same time. Lester Maddox wasn't one of them, but was elected by the General Assembly without getting a majority of the popular vote. He did a good job too, God rest his soul.
Fill in your blank____________? was the best governor I never voted for.
Gone With the Wind belongs to us. We own it.
Not only is it by one of our own and is about us, but it's also one of the great novels of all time and an absolute film classic-and we shouldn't apologize for liking it.
WSB means 'Welcome South Brother.'
She ain't what she used to be, but she's not as bad as the AJC has become.
The Brown Thrasher, the Cherokee Rose, and the Live Oak are our symbols.
Proud, decent, honest people are our heritage.
None are as plentiful as they once were, but none are on the endangered list, either.
The best barbecue in the world is served at Old Hickory House in Tucker, but Open Air in Jackson ain't far behind.
The best seafood is at Williams(burned down) in Savannah and the best catfish is at Henderson's in Covington.
The best sausage is at Stripling's in Crisp County.
The best fried chicken in the world is served at my mama's house.
Grits is groceries and sugar doesn't belong in cornbread.
God intended for iced tea to be served sweet and cold.
And lastly, Georgia ain't exactly heaven-but it will do until I get there. | |

| Final Word on Nutrition....When I checked last posted March '06 |
May 12, 2008 2:26 pm
253 Views | Final Word on Nutrition
After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here's the final word on nutrition and health:
1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
Our Government Is Trying To Correct This Problem | |

456 Views | If you will search for the phrase "If I Die Before You Wake, the results will come up. If it only has lyrics you can visit the GI on the left. Some of the results, depending upon which one you use, might come up at the presentation.

You all know of my love and support for the military. It would be nice if these guys could get the song recorded.

| Rutting Time?!?!?! |
May 7, 2008 6:48 am
489 Views | Last night I had a visitor...when I got up this morning the picture shows what I found.
It seems a huge Buck took out the gate trying to get to a doe in the yard next door. It couldn't have been easy. The fence is anodized aluminum, 1 3/4 gap put up to keep the grands and dogs in and the gators OUT.
I heard nothing..I was on the puter on SFF at the time.....all the neighbors did and they went out to see what was going on. That is how I found out what happened about 1:30 am.
Before the neighbors saw me out, I had called the police. He said it looked like deer tracks...when the neighbors confirmed he was satisfied. He said I should see the damage they can do to cars.
He told me it was "rutting time". I said huh?!?!?! He explained they were in heat. I told him I was a city gal and the next time to speak in English. LOL
