Just droppin' in..

Good Morning to all who have taken the time and effort to regsister with their user names..and to hopefully make The Howard Web Page~~  their homepage ~~you know...the page that comes up and greets you every morning, when you log on to your computer.
Kjell and I are so pleased that so many are poking their heads in to look around. Don't be shy in posting a  quick "Howdy" to everyone.. or  stop in ..lean against the fence for a minute and do a bit of friendly gossipin'.. LOL  ( I said friendly )
I know that the first few times I was in here myself.. I was unsure of how to use the forum , so I just practiced with some short reply's to folks that was in here at the time. If you have ANY questions ..no matter what they are ~~ about the way to use the web page.. just call us at home here..374-2093 .. or e-mail us and we ( probably Kjell  )  will  walk you through it. It isn't that hard once you start to use it.
Of course.. remember.. I am still a natural blond  and sometimes simple things confuse me  .
Hopefully, more people will be told about it. We sent it to all we knew.. now the job of getting the word out is up to everyone else.
The beautiful thing with e-mail.. you mail it to  someone.. they mail it to someone...and before you know it.. EVERYONE knows where Elk County is.. 
Don't forget also.. if you have anything you want to buy or sell or trade... post it in here.. it is free.. and fun.

And that is really what this web page is all about.
I got a personal reply from a friend in who lives here ..and she said,
*quote.....I looked over your web site for Howard and I think it is very nice and a good idea. That had to had taken him a long time to put it all together. You know I was thinking, that it sure is a shame that it had to be someone from the outside to think of the idea and to put it all together for us. But maybe it is more than likely because we live here and just don't see things the way Kjell does. What we take for granted, he really appreciates it. (Shame on us)... *unquote*
Now isn't that the truth? What a wonderful town we live in, and sometimes don't see the forest for the trees.

OK~ Enough  of the chatter. I DO have work to do..even though I try to do everything  to put it off..    so I best get at it..

Hope your Monday is starting off your week in a good way.

Since we have so many new people in here everyday,
I thought that this might be appropriate to put up here again.
It was the 1st post  that was put on the THEN "Howard" website..
And that was October 4, 2004!

But since we have grown so much it was only natural for us to change it to the
Elk County Website and Forum.
WOW!!!
We have sure come a long way ..
thanks to all you wonderful people who post and share things with everyone in here. 

If everyone posted something, can you imagine how wonderful that would be? My gosh!
I can't even imagine how much news we would have and how much could be shared...what with people in Moline, Howard, Elk Falls, Longton, Grenola , Sedan and all the surrounding and faraway towns?

WOWEEEEE!~
It could be done!

But everyone would have to get over the " I don't know how... " or
" What do I have to say that anyone would want to hear..."
or .. What if I mess something up since I don't know about posting etc..."

There are hundreds of reasons you can come up with to NOT try to post.
It is not hard.. Heck if Ta Ta can do it...anyone can!


((Sorry Ta Ta.. )) but I just had to say it.. It was just tooo good an opportunity to let pass..)


Seriously folks.. If you need help in that area.. call me.. I can walk you through it the first time.. after that you will become an old pro at it!

Ok... the 1st post is here...and since then we have had 11,478 !
Not too bad for our little forum town..
You can all congratulate yourselves..


Lets keep up the good work!
Keep getting the word out to your friends and encourage them to share news and happenings at their end of town or world.. or place.. or.. wherever they take their shoes off at night.

Thanks a heap everyone!

Did I blink -- and miss the first post   Did it float downstream?  That must be it , it got caught in the current AND AWAY IT WENT !!!!!!!

No Mama.. I went back to page one and brought it to life again.
We keep all  the posts in here so anyone can go back and read from the beginning if they have the time to do it.. lol

What a gift that must be - to just go somewhere and "bring it to life" again!

and it is great that all the posts are on here.  I, for one, being a relatively new comer (to the forum), I have spent a lot of time reading the former posts in history, obits. etc. and other points of interest from days gone by.

Oh, no, desertlilydarla.  Please don't be like Ms. T.  I just couldn't stand having two of a kind around.

pacus ratitus is a genetic disorder.  I inherited it from both sides of my family.  Luckily, my wife does not suffer from the affliction, so when (or if) we have children they stand a chance of not having it.


I just love creating new words.  And if you put them in italics, they look more real.
