Hi all, Jackie tells me she's been getting some replies to her message about ETexas food favorites. It's fine to post these to the list. BTW, when you hit 'Reply', it just goes to the sender, but if you hit 'Reply All', it goes to the sender AND the list. I had the list set the other way in the beginning, but too many personal replies were going to the list, so I changed it. What I usually do when I reply to a message from my other lists, is hit 'Reply All', then delete the name of the sender, thereby sending it to the list. That way the sender doesn't get a double dose of the reply. Technically, according to Rootsweb, I 'own' this list, but I consider it *your* list, so whatever you want to post, within reason, go right ahead. I notice a few more new subscribers in the past day or so - Welcome! In case you don't know what I'm talking about, one of the list members from out Californy way, posted a message about all the yummy ETexas food she was missing, like corn and field peas. Now she did tie this in to family history, saying this is what the ancestors learned to eat in the lean days following the Civil War, since the Northern soldiers left them, thinking they were for cattle. See, that gives us an idea of what things were like way back when. We have list members from all over the country, California and Minnesota and who knows where else, some of whom have actually lived in Harrison Co. But many of you have never even been here. Pity. So let's share, guys. Tell us who you're researching, and please, please, share any little tidbits of family history/culture with the rest of us, so we can learn, learn, learn. If there are any purists on the list who aren't interested in 'meat on the bones', please just use the delete key - I'll keep an eye on things, and if it gets out of hand, I'll let you know. (I did have to unsub myself temporarily from one county list in another state because the memory chatter got too much for me - time period and location that I just couldn't identify.) It's getting hot - already humid - and a lot more comfy in the house next to the 'puter than it is outside in the sun. Above all, have fun, Gail
