Welcome......
My dad's people were from northern Alabama.

And don't worry about pissing off folks....most of us get over it in a few minutes...."LOOK, BOOBIES!!!!!"...... every once in a while someone gets mad enough to bite themselves and they leave....but for the most part, we are like-minded and amiable. From your posts, you seem to fit in.  ;)  ;D

Roy Moore lives here. From what I remember, I'd say that's the best badge I can claim here. Vestal Goodman is from just up the road.. Byron Ferguson isn't far off.. Not much going on around here, for which I am very thankful..
 
I tried to drag anybody I could from the other forum I was at, after it finally exploded.. Nobody came. Shoot2Stop posted one on here that I saw, but that was it..

As for fitting in... That seems to work better when you don't have to look at me ??? ::) ;D

I'm glad to be here.

Welcome aboard =))

So, you went to grade school with MB?

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Hey Les! Moved to (upper) New Port Richey in 79 or so, as a teenager. Into Beacon Woods, behind the K-Mart, but before anybody thought a K-Mart ought to be built there.. I was just thinking about a teacher at Bayonet Point Middle School named Cunningham. Redhead.. He seemed to hate the work... He got under my skin. When I was finally ready to challange him (read him off), he had left the room for half the class at that point.. I got tired of waiting and left. I even came back about 20 minutes later to tell him why, but he hadn't come back by then..
Memories... (It was about that time that my mother wanted to put me in Adm. Farragut.)
Remember a teacher named "Fee", at Tarpon Springs? I bet he'd remember me, (not for the better, I'm afraid)....
Welcome to the discussion!!
