I just received a lovely email...complaining about my comments in this thread. I decided to mention this here, in case others felt the same way, being the Holiday Season and all, goodwill towards men, yadda, yadda, yadda. First..if you don't know by now, I tend to take this forum lightly, it's not hallowed ground, nor is it neccessary for me to be uptight regarding what is written here. I like laughter, I prefer it to the other emotions, so use it often. There will always be humor in my words. Second... I was NOT bashing the term "redneck". My childhood was filled with Lefty Frizell, Jerry Clower, and Sugar & Dave. (Look em up if you don't know) The most pleasant memories I have, are sitting around after Sunday dinner with relatives strewn all over the floor. Hard working blue collar types, most living paycheck to paycheck. Card games after church, yah, the liquor came out, but it was typically after the kids went to bed, and then it got rowdy! I have a fondness for the term, because to me it stands for good, honest, church going people...who work hard, (at any job they can find), pay taxes and would rather die then go on welfare. We could use a few more. So, please, to my "fan"... I ask you to try and look at what I wrote with a smile, and not take things so seriously in life. It's better for your health :) I hope no one else was offended or upset by my words, and that what I am posting now will explain it a bit more. Lisa
