ROLL CALL TO ALL MEMBERS !!!!

Larry, I would say that you've had some nice weddings in your family recently!  Good luck to all involved!

It's kind of hard to believe how fast Thanksgiving is approaching!  We will be going to the home of our daughter and son-in-law, Cathy & Harvey, in Valley Center, for Thanksgiving.  They have a large home, ours is small, so large works better for a crowd!  We usually invite someone to come and share the day with us, who doesn't have a family to spend Thanksgiving with.  And, with Cathy & Harvey's children and grandchild, it makes for a very nice day. 

Enjoy the Holidays!

Welcome Dave, Cari and youngin's ... you're in the right place.  That's a guarantee!

I live in Elk Falls. Teresa and Sherri used to wash my feet. Sherri puked on me once.  Teresa ran my car down into a ditch and back up on the road and down into the ditch on the other side. Me Auntie Jo ripped my underwear once trying to give me a wedgie during a wrestling match.

HOLIE BUCKETS !!!  Where did all of that come from???   Jimmie Wayne...how could you???

   I still love you with all of my heart, and IF  I ever did ANYTHING that was not lady like, it was probably in one of my "black out moments"

This one will make you giggle.  Yesterday, my son and his wife came by and cleaned up our garage a little so I won't be tripping over things.  We were informed that Thanksgiving will be held at the recreation room where they live.  Then we found out what we get to bring for the dinner-------the turkey, stuffing, and maybe a pie.  So, in this case, our children won't be going home to moms cooking.  Moms cooking will be going home to them!!!!

Hey! I wanna know who put that picture of an ugly old fat man on my posts.

[Teresa]

Who put the picture up?
The same one that washed your danged ole' stinkin feet.. BECAUSE... you wouldn't get me any nose plugs and  take me swimming unless I did!
And as far as driving your car in the ditch?
Ahhhh yes, I did .. But I was a little girl for gods sake. and I couldn't even reach the peddles and you said you would teach me how to drive!
Now! There you have the REAL facts folks.

He also failed to mention how he and Joyce took me snipe hunting when I was probably 8 years old.
( I am sure it was only out by the barn, but to an 8 year old.. to be left out by an old barn that they used at the time to hang the skins of the animals that had been hunted and trapped, was damned scary.) .
But leave me they did.. with my brown paper sack and calling in a scared voice.. " Heeeerrrreeee  snipe. Heeeereeee snipe".

It is no wonder I am the way I am now.

[Sarge]

Well, I told Joyce not to do that, but she insisted that we leave you out there. I didn't want to.

   Ohhhhhhhhh Golly !!!  Those were the days, my friends.

I have not been on here for sometime so here goes.  My name is Bill.   I lived in Howard in 1984-85 and again from 1992-1995.  During the second part of my stay in Howard I was a part-time Officer for the Police Dept. and Sheriff's Office.  I moved in 1995 to join the Wilson County Sheriff's office and then the Parsons Police Dept.   

I moved to Tulsa, Ok. in 2003 where I currently reside.  I now work for the Gaming Commission as a Casino Regulator.  My law enforcement career is in the past due to heart issues and burnout.  I miss my Howard friends and although I am not active in this forum much, am greatful for it and the wonderful people that post and keep the town alive for those of us who no longer live there.       
I am hoping to visit some time in the near future and see old friends.
