Some cable companies losing TV Land
I've called my cable company (Bright House) regarding pulling TV Land, Comedy Channel, VH1, etc. (total of 18 channels) as of midnight tonight. The recording says that Viacom has tripled their rates to the cable companies. They are negotiating but it looks very likely that Viacom will win which means it's a very good thing that I have my TAGS DVDs. I can live without the other channels but NOT TV Land! That's sacred grounds, buddy and how I vote is my business! Now, where is that Dish company brochure. By the way, the phone number that's scrolling across the screen for Bright House customers is a non working number. Those Viacom folks must be week kneed, chicken livered, yellow streaked, turncoats!

Stamps
TAGS fans, Trying to figure out who and why and how the Post Office decides who to honor with stamps can be an interesting (and maddening) study. For instance, fans of Louis L'Amour (at his death in 1989 he was the best-selling author in American history, don't know if he's been passed) have been petitioning for a stamp honoring him for years. Still nothing. And as for the rule about a person being dead, they've been known to stretch that, too. Remember the Star Wars stamps a couple years ago that had images of Harrison Ford and Mark Hammill? Both are still living. The P.O.'s excuse was that the paintings were of "fictional characters", yet they went out of their way to make them look like the real-life actors. If we really want TAGS stamps, we can always print our own. You can buy a program from the Post Office that allows you to put your own images--even your own face--on stamps and print them on your home PC. James Arness sells "Matt Dillon" stamps on his web site using a program like this. Not meaning to throw any cold water. If/when the P.O. offers TAGS stamps, I'll be first in line at our local branch!

Miracle Salve
The closest thing I've used to Miracle Salve is Bag Balm - sounds similar to your product, Ken. My mother used it for years and my Dad used to say. " Well, we're going to the feed store to get your mother's cosmetics"! I never tested it to see if it cured the mange Wonder if it would help to prevent your feet from falling asleep?

Re: more on the stamps
In a message dated 12/31/2008 11:01:56 A.M. Central Standard Time, wbmutbb-requ...@wbmutbb.com writes: If it was a fictional show with fictional characters, it could be different, but since the name carries Andy's name, no stamp!! Actually, it's only Andy's image that can't be used (until ten years after his death), his name is another matter. When the Postal Service did the "Celebrate the Century" series, the '90s was represented partly by the TV show "Seinfeld." Since Jerry was and still very much is with us, they didn't show him, but they showed his last name as the show's title against the backdrop of his apartment, as seen on his show. A stamp devoted to "The Andy Griffith Show" would still be doable, they just wouldn't be able to show Andy or Opie or (for another seven years) Barney. They would be able to show Aunt Bee, Floyd, or a generic shot of the town square and the courthouse. But personally, I'd prefer to see Andy on a stamp honoring his show and hopefully that won't happen anytime soon for obvious reasons. Dixon **New year...new news.

TAGS stamp
I write the Postmaster General every year asking for a TAGS-related postage stamp, to no avail. Although everyone seems to be familiar with Mayberry and a fan to some degree, it's hard to get them interested in tributes. Look at the Kennedy Center Honors! You'd think it'd be limited to Americans at least. They missed out on honoring Don Knotts and I'm afraid they will miss the boat with Andy too. I write them every year but I'll keep on trying!
