The graduate with a science degree asks," Why does it work?"

The graduate with an engineering degree asks, "How does it work?"

The graduate with an accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost?"

The graduate with an arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that?"

   Yes, Ma'am, 'deed you were! I think I now owe you enough crocheted Christmas ornaments to fill a small tree, but actually, I've made a little progress - including a different design so they won't all look just alike.  I'll just add one more when I mail them to you - which really shouldn't be too much longer now.....

   Thanks, Susan!

   WOWZERONI-RINI-ROONI! That's impressive! Thanks so much, Bobby! May we have "the rest of the story" now, please??

        From My Beautiful Cousin, Cheryl White Wilson (John Marshall HS - '64) of VA - 08/23/08 - "Superkids Third Annual Car Show":

			Would it be tacky to post this flyer about the Superkids Third Annual Car Show in Prince George? It draws quite a crowd from several surrounding states, and I think several members of your reading audience would be interested. The proceeds go to benefit the Superkids Ministries for mentally challenged residents of Virginia. For more information, visit the website at http://www.skmi.org. And would it be possible to find another recent picture of me to post??    Not at all, Pretty Lady! You're quite correct - and for those unable to attend, they may very well wish to make a donation to such a worthy cause!

   Now about that recent picture..... On your visits down here, we seem to spend waaay more time laughing hysterically (crazy videos available upon request) than we do trying to capture any really good images, but I'm still looking. Keep the faith!

  From Ron Miller ('59) of NC - 08/28/08 - "RE - 08/28/08 - This One's for You":

Thanks to     Joe Madagan ('57 - of FL) for the picture & info on Famous Airman: Jimmy Stewart. He's always been a favorite.

   Thank you, Ronnie! Jimmy Stewart has always been a great favorite of mine as well.  As he was only a day younger than  my mama,               the late Maxine Frix Buckley (John Marshall HS - '25), I always somehow felt a special closeness to him - and still do!

More Suth en-ism's:
Only a Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption fit, and that you don't 'HAVE' them, you 'PITCH' them.
 _____
Only a Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens, peas, beans, etc., make up 'a mess.'
 _____
Only a Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of 'yonder.'
 _____
Only a Southerner knows exactly how long 'directly' is, as in: 'Going to town, be back directly.'
_____
Even Southern babies know that 'Gimme some sugar' is not a request for the white, granular sweet substance that sits in a pretty little bowl in the middle of the table.
_____
All Southerners know exactly when 'by and by' is. They might not use the term, but they know the concept well.
____
Only a Southerner knows instinctively that the best gesture of solace for a neighbor whose got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold potato salad. If the neighbor's trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large banana puddin!
_____
Only Southerners grow up knowing the difference between 'right near' and 'a right far piece.' They also know that 'just down the road' can be 1 mile or 20.
_____
Only a Southerner both knows and understands the difference between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and Po white trash.
_____
No true Southerner would ever assume that the car with the flashing turn signal is actually going to make a turn.
_____
A Southerner knows that 'fixin' can be used as a noun, a verb, or an adverb.
 _____
Only Southerners make friends while standing in lines, .. and when we're 'in line,' we talk to everybody!
 _____
Put 100 Southerners in a room and half of them will discover they're related, even if only by marriage.
 _____
In the South, y'all is singular, all y'all is plural.
 _____
Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat them.
_____
Every Southerner knows tomatoes with eggs, bacon, grits, and coffee are perfectly wonderful; that red eye gravy is also a breakfast food; and that fried green tomatoes are not a breakfast food.
 _____
When you hear someone say, 'Well, I caught myself lookin',' you know you are in the presence of a genuine Southerner!
_____
Only true Southerners say 'sweet tea,' 'sweet milk,' and 'light bread'.  Sweet tea indicates the need for sugar and lots of it -- we do not like our tea unsweetened. 'Sweet milk' means you don't want buttermilk.  And 'light bread' is white bread.
 _____
And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. You just say, 'Bless her heart' ... and go your own way.
_____
To those of you who are still a little embarrassed by your Southerness: Take two tent revivals and a dose of sausage gravy and call me in the morning. Bless your heart!
_____
And to those of you who are still having a hard time understanding all this Southern stuff, ... bless your hearts, I hear they are fixin' to have classes on Southernness as a second language!
_____
And for those that are not from the South but have lived here for a long time, all y'all need a sign to hang on y'all's front porch that reads 'I ain't from the South, but I got here as fast as I could.'

Southern girls know men may come and go, but friends are fahevah !
Now...... Shugah, send this to someone who was raised in the South or wish they had been!
If you're a Northern transplant, Bless your little heart, fake it.
We know you got here as fast as you could!

   AMEN! Thank you, Sweetie-Pies!

      From Wayne Stokes ('65) of VA - 08/28/08 - "Rescuing Hug--I sent mine!!!!":

I hope the baby story is true. If this helps, good! If not, delete it!

   Actually, Wayne Honey, IT IS!!! And it makes for great reading:

http://www.snopes.com/glurge/hug.asp

Status: True

Rescuing Hug INSTANTLY, WHEN YOU RECEIVE THIS PAGE, YOU MUST SEND IT TO AT LEAST 5 PEOPLE, INCLUDING THE PERSON WHO SENT IT TO YOU !!!

You have just been hugged!

That's right, there's no getting out of it this time! This is the start of a full-scale Hug O' War! So hug everyone you know! With all the other forwards out there, I thought this would be a good one to start. The hug is my favorite sign of affection. It can mean so much, and many things at the same time.. It can be a sign of love, support, caring, comfort or anything! So here you go. All I can say is it will brighten someone's day. I mean, we all need a hug once in a while.

So send this on if you'd like, to anyone who may need a hug,
Send it back to whoever sent it to you,
Goodness knows, we could all REALLY use a hug sometimes.
Soooo. Enjoy your hug. And pass one on to someone else . .. .
Especially, someone that really needs one! Thanks ..
God Bless you, your family, & your friends!!!

"Nothing we do changes the past, everything we do changes the future."

   Thanks so much, Wayne Honey! I think we've sent it to more than five people now!

    From Norm Covert ('61) of MD - 08/28/08 - "Go, Girl!":

   Thank you so much, Normie! The "crowd" will be quite small, but I do tend to enjoy whatever I'm doing. I rather believe that generally speaking, if you're not having fun, it's your own fault.
 

   For some strange reason, 61 always sounded younger when it was happening to somebody else. Now I find myself shaking my head and asking, "Wha' happen'd?!?"
 

   Mmmmm - chocolate, you say?!? I often dream of fudge.......

  From Ruth Ann Reece Horace ('67) of FL - 08/28/08:

Don't you just love Fay?  That storm is never going to let go.  We have spent days cleaning my daughter Sheri's house in beautiful Ozello, FL.  It only got 2-3 inches of water, but everything it touched had to be cleaned and disinfected.  Our dirt road washed bad and we had to get a front loader to bring dirt back up the hill.

Keep safe, girl friend,
Ruthie

   YOWZERONI!!! What a mess! Thanks, Ruthie! Y'all take care down there!

From Norris Perry (Warwick HS - '59) of VA - 08/28/08 - "Time To Get Campaigning!!":

http://www.peteyandpetunia.com/VoteHere/VoteHere.htm

   WILDEST GIGGLES!!! Well, that takes care of just about everybody! Thanks, Norris - what a hoot!

   Y'all take good care of each other!  TYPHOONS FOREVER!  We'll Always Have Buckroe!

            Love to all, Carol
