Andy Griffth/Star Trek
I was watching the TOS Star Trek I believe the episode was the City on the Edge of Forever. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy go back to the 1930s I think it was. I saw a buggy being pulled by a horse that reminded me of the milk man's buggy and horse on the Andy Griffth show where Opie promised to take care of the milk man's horse for the time he was away. The horse didnt eat because he wasnt working. Do you think this could have been the same buggy and quite possibly the same horse?Thanks, BrandonBrownsville, KY ___ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Re: Why This Old Guy Watches TAGS

Gift of Mayberry
Hidee! Haven't checked in for a bit, but I just had to share this. I recently fell ill, and one of the things that saved my sanity was my TAGS DVD collection. Now that I'm better, I realize just how much being able to go to Mayberry helped me out. We all know Mayberry's a great place to have fun for a spell, but it can sometimes even be a little bit more. Being able to visit with my Mayberry friends truly helped my recovery, especially since I was alone most of the time. And how special that we have this online community to share our love with! It's extry-good! --Aunt Bee in Ohio - Yahoo! Photos Got holiday prints?

Ken, I loved your reasons for watching TAGS. It was very well said. I am only 47 years old but I can relate to some of your reasons. Matt Garland,Tx. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Why we watch TAGS
I just read Mr. Anderson's moving story about why he watches TAGS. He mentioned that the show brought back so many beautiful memories from his own similar childhood. I guess I grew up across the tracks from Mr. Anderson at a time and a place that was the polar opposite of his town. In my neighborhood abandoned or burned-out buildings were our playground. Instead of Foley's, we had Danny's, complete with barred windows and security gate. Instead of crickets chirping, we heard cries in the night, and we were taught that when we heard gunfire we were to hit the ground and hope. In my town little Leon's gun would have been real. We had fun girls in our town, too, but the wrong kind. There were no little boys or little girls in our townwe were all forced to become men and women when our ages were still in the single digits. That world is miles away from where I am now, but the battle scars (literally) remain. And that is exactly why I watch TAGS. Andy and company give me a daily dose of what can be, so I can temporarily forget what was. So, Mr. Anderson, I'm very jealous of your upbringingand very happy for you, too. We come from different worlds, but we're both neighbors in Mayberry.

Re: Dogs, Dogs, Dogs!---Dee-Troit
Thanks Jeff for those kind words!! My son is a true Mayberry fan. He lives near Escanaba on lots of land so that Rafe--who is a German Shorthaired Pointer can run and run---Sometimes he keeps up with the 4-wheeler!! I myself grew up in the suburb of Livonia! Some of my family is still there! I moved to Southwest Michigan many years ago, but enjoy going back to visit. I am raising a second generation of Mayberry fans with my grandchildren--It seems that Earnest T is their favorite---I hear it's me, it's me--it's Earnest T!!! a lot!! I will be getting another cat eventually and have already decided she will be Miss Ellie!!! I work with disabled adults and have been slowing giving my special friends my Andy Griffith tapes as I collect the dvds!!! They love them---can't get enough of them and we get into interesting discussions!! Mayberry makes a big difference in their lives!!Everyone have a great Mayberry day!!!

Tour of Mayberry
SHOW ME AROUND THINGS AND WHATS GOIN ON Hey James, just hang on and jump in when you can. Around here people are free to comment, or to loiter around and observe - without being threatened with a ticket from Barney. I don't want to start a cat moulauge, but the Miss Otis story reminded me of my childhood pet cat Sally. I never saw her dance, but she did hide out sometimes. She and her siblings were in my Grandparents barn and we at first thought she was a male. We took her home and after bathing her discovered she was a girl who had a piece of chewing gum stuck to her fur - pretty cleaver disguise. Kim - Wylie, TX - Yahoo! Photos Got holiday prints?

Then a little kitty wandered onto my son's place and they named him Otis. Well, when Otis went to the vet's to get his shots my son was in for a surprise---he was not a he, but a she!!! So now they have a cat named--Miss Otis! I laughed and laughed when I heard that! My son says their next dog will be Jud. He makes me proud!! Have a great Mayberry Day!! Your son has some good pet names Chris - where in the suburbs of Dee-Troit did you grow up? I'm in Fraser.

Barney's hat
Greetings everyone, I happened to be in a uniform store the other day and you are not going to believe what I foundyou are just not going to believe it. Go on, guess. I came across a cache of old, Mayberry police hats. Yes, its true. They are identical to Barney's. I took everything they had, which was only about a dozen. I've always wanted one to add to my collection. I'll have to eventually get a badge made for the front, but rest assured, these are the real thing. I would like to make the remaining stock available to WBMUTBB chapter members. Again, there were only about a dozen in varying sizes, but what a collectible to put on a shelf. If anyone is interested in possibly purchasing one from me, please contact me off-line at [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I will forward you a picture first so you can see it.

I REALLY LOVE THE DOWN HOME FLAVOR OF THIS MAILING LIST
Dear Listers, Kenneth's Letter reminded me of my husband's stories about his little hometown of East Nassau, New York. Of course, I had my own stories about my hometown of Ashton, Idaho. I miss the fountain drinks from the Teton Pharmacy. There were several personal items in the drug store that you had to ask the Pharmacist to get for you, which could prove embarrassing to a shy young girl. What about the smells of your hometown stores, especially the drug store? We did not have a bakery, so that was one that I do not have a memory for. A few years ago, we stopped at the other drug store in Ashton, the City Drug, but their fountain drinks did not seem to taste the same, as they used to. I am a people watcher, so whenever my Mom left me in the car I would entertain myself by watching, whoever went by on the street. One time my older sister's crush went by and I hollered out to him that my sister loved him. He was the banker's son and we were just farmers, but good ones. Boys had their guns in their pickups, which were parked in the high school parking lot. The teachers did not worry about that. Girls did not fight each other. Basketball Games were fun to attend, because every girl could belong to the Pep Club. However, I wish that they would have had what was known in my children's middle school, as TLC. This included getting to take a section of Keyboard, Home Ec and Shop for both boys and girls during the school year. Debbie Caruso, it is possible that those two actresses might be related to each other somehow. When I visited the Family History Library in Salt Lake, they had a large pedigree on the wall, with photos of Mitt Romney, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush and their ancestry and all three of those men have shared ancestry. Another pedigree that they had on display was that of Harry Morgan, one of my favorite Mash characters. Some of us have snow stories about our small towns. Since Ashton is only 60 miles south of West Yellowstone, we used to get a lot of snow and a lot of really brr cold weather. My children would laugh at me, whenever I told about the huge drifts, etc. One time the four of us had to check into the hotel for a few days, because we were snowed into town. My older brother called Mom and she gave him the go-ahead to charge a dress for my younger sister and I at Story and Meese's Department Store. He bought them to match our eyes, brown and green. Thanks to the person, who started this list. Karla - Yahoo! Photos Ring in the New Year with Photo Calendars.
