Allright people, now all us men aren't like that! I always listen to my wife when she has something to say. I think she said something just last night. I hope she wasn't talking to me! Chip

Hi folks, Since we have a lot of guys on the list and because a lot of bashing of the testostorone impaired is in circulation, I thought the men might like this for a change.

Did I ask you all if you'd ever heard of a Five Fingers Tennessee? I've been trying to find it for a lady on my Union County list for months. She thinks it was a city. I've checked and can't find it and my sources in the postal system say they've never listed it. I'm thinking it may have been a farm by that name. It's on an old document we've been transcribing and just can't locate it. The dates on the document indicate Tennessee early 1800's. Any ideas? Chip

(sigh...true nuff, got a few up above the Mason-Dixon line too, but we generally put a plug of tobacco in their mouths when they visit and tell folks they are mute).

Now you had to get "CLEAN" Snow..... -- Lynn Appling McCandless Please visit my webpages: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~lynn/ send mailto:lynnintx@texas.net

Thank you to all of the list who dropped me a note to help with my page. I wasn't using a border background so the spacer graphic wasn't important for me. Thank you also to Chip who fixed my counter and gave me the Wildwood Flower Mid. When I get the page finished, I'll send the address so you can all have a look. I'm a little embarrassed by it right now. This is the greatest list! So many I have been on are dull and lifeless. I love the way you talk about old times like eating at your grandparents. Let me throw one in now. Howsabout some snow cream? A little snow, some sugar, some cream...and a frozen brain if you eat it too fast! My mammaw used to make it for us kids ever time it snowed. Thanks, Dawn
