This article mentions the castle at Rocky Hill.  My parents house is near where the castle was located. Stories from their made it into Kathyrn Windham Tucker's 13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffry.

I know KTW's daughter Dilcy and son in law Scott very well. She's worked for Bham Convention and Visitors Bureau forever. Nice people, KTW is a southern literature icon, RIP. Marched to her own drummer, life well lived.

It was taxing though, I might need a quick nap.

Taxing? The work, or the reward.  

Yes......

I should still be owed for that dang handbag, I can't say much though. She works very hard at shopping and purchasing stuff for the business and does it all under budget and ahead of time. I can't say much, dangit.

[Guest FEARLESSANDTRUE]

She was truly an icon.  She was so very gracious with her time and visited UNA quite often, as well as other universities.  Priceless lady. 

As for the handbag, you know you're a blessed man. 

[telling tiger 156]

An unrivaled storyteller. She could keep people's attention for days. Never underestimate the power of charisma. It has started and ended wars, loves and lives.

You women have a union don't you?

My nap time is getting shorter, back soon.

Well I'll be I see Saints Crossroads on the map. My parent first house was very close to Saints Crossroad. The first 6 years of my life I live there.

[Guest FEARLESSANDTRUE]

Whaddaya, whaddaya, whaddaya doing? You home sir?

Yep.  After reading effie's comments about men doing housework, I'm thinking about dusting and vaccuming. 

[telling tiger 156]

I've been told that works

[Guest FEARLESSANDTRUE]

I'd never steer you guys wrong. 

[telling tiger 156]

It could just be a plot to get the housework done.

Is grilling considered housework? 

Baby back ribs, baked beans, cole slaw, tater salad and Texas toast. 

[telling tiger 156]

No that's yard work

Do not forget your girlfriend is on NBC tonight

[Guest FEARLESSANDTRUE]

No, 62, it is not.  But if you clean up the kitchen afterwards you're sure to score points.

[around4ever 4,139]

Grilled cole slaw and potato salad??  Hmmm?  Interesting. 

[4AUsince62 10]

I Made a moppin sauce, does that count?  And how does this point system work, I mean, what’s their fair market value? Are they like reward points? What should I expect for a return on investment? Is there a penalty for early withdrawal?  Is this pre or post tax? Maybe I should call AARP.  :-\

You've never had and grilled cole slaw or potato salad??????    Seriously, now that you say that, grill the spuds and then make the potato salad; I love grilled spuds. 

[around4ever 4,139]

Grilled taters, sure.  Grilled tater salad, no.

Have you seen the commercial where the airlines customers asks if the points comes with a trip to the islands and is told, "no, that comes with a hat"? Forget the hat, this doesn't come with one of those either.

[around4ever 4,139]

Actually, the points are created in an attempt to get us back to zero.  We are so far in the negative we couldn't get back to zero even on double or triple points days. 

[telling tiger 156]

The girls went shopping this morning, so like a good rotten man, I formed a puppy pile on the couch and grabbed the remote. I was watching UFC on Fuel TV. This fighter described the hold he used on someone during training as the fifty percenter. He said it was just like divorce, it took at least half of everything you had.

_{don't shoot me eff}

I've told TT before, weaker sex, my hairy butt.
