oh yes, i like that clip back there with bela fleck and the horse flies, and even some throat singers! i just found that one.

and yes, when i said i remember her, i was referring to julia butterfly, same person who was in the clip there.

got a kick out of some of the snowmen.

never heard of maggie bell….she is a character!

and now, about your birthday…i see it in the birthday list which i was surprised to see! i remember you saying your birthday was the day after halloween, (nov. 1) and it is not november first, lieutenant dan! we even had a party and everything!

i just thought of something, maybe when you were filling in the birthday form, instead of putting "11/1" you put "1/11" ?

I checked my profile and I had entered 11-1-1950. then I looked closer and the first box is for the day, the second the month and the third the year, so I should have entered 1-11-1950. mystery solved. thank you agnes.

going to catch up on the posts. hope everyone in the cold weather area's are all warm and snug inside. it even got down to the 20's where i live in florida. it won't last. as i hate the heat here, our very short "winter" is a welcome break.

be back later.

You mean, like, right here in Tally? :shock:

Somebody once said, and it might even have been Woody, "It's so cold, the politicians have their hands in their own pockets!"

g1 leave your faucets dripping. i hope your pipes are not exposed. if they are you're supposed to wrap them. make sure your car(s) are full of gas. check anti freeze.

hope agnes shows up soon so i know all is well.

it's supposed to get down to 19 here in northern florida. we will see. sometimes the weather people get carried away. i guess they want you to be prepared for the worst case scenario.

agnes, liked the silent movie clip ( and yes, it's cold outside). Lillian Gish, amazing actress. i like some silent stuff but i don't like all of it. Facial expression and body language are the key. too many just don't have the right combination and over compensate.

hi kevin,

nice surprise!

yep, going to be chilly tonight. keep warm in wakulla county. i remember when it used to be called crawfordville, lol. for some reason i find it funny that people prefer wakulla county. sounds more upscale to them i guess. when someone from wakulla county asks me where i live i tell them leon county. :roll:

forgive me everyone, a little southern humor here.

nortonkevin · **Posted:** Mon Jan 06, 2014 3:41 pm

That's pretty funny!

My address is actually Crawfordville, but Wakulla sounds cooler, I think. Lots of folks that aren't from around here pronounce it Wa-koola, and we laugh and laugh at that. Most folks (including me) often just refer to it as "The County." The redneck contingent as of late is fond of calling it, "Willkillya County" - lots of NRA folks around here. Wise to keep low during hunting season!

yah, i guess it is like any movie. some you like better than others.

actually i just saw some deer. i went over and told them not to be bad.
