Thank goodness he is on the mend and everything looks good for a total recovery! But as a reader of tabloids, I knew this! :-) For those of you who answered for extra credit, if you answered Steel Magnolias you get a free bottle of pop from the filling station. "Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion" is a classic quote along with "If you don't have anything nice to say about someone, come sit by me!" or "You're too twisted for color TV!" ~the groovy misspoovy~ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2000 07:10:57 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Let's Focus on Mayberry, Folks....thanks In a message dated 6/14/00 4:44:29 AM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << For those of you who answered for extra credit, if you answered Steel Magnolias you get a free bottle of pop from the filling station.

I think we're drifting a little bit here and I'd like to get us back on the subject of Mayberry and focus as much as we can on that. I don't mind a little bit of drifting now and again but I think we've just about got our pants leg caught on our own pitchfork.

I feel so bad for poor Bee when Opie blatantly rejects her. And at the end when Opie has a change of heart just as Aunt Bee is leaving -- well, I really start blubbering then! >> Hey To All! Another episode that can make me teary eyed and tug at my heartstrings is the episode of Aunt Bee's birthday. Here our dear Aunt Bee admires the bed jacket in the dress shop window and even goes into to admire it in person. Then we see Andy and Opie trying to find the ultimate gift for her as she is so dear them and what do they get her? CANNING JARS! Now those of you who are men, the LAST thing a lady wants for her Birthday is something for her house or to do work! They never once thought of getting her something just to pamper herself until Clara spills the beans. It tugs my heartstrings to have to see Aunt Bee open that box of CANNING JARS! Then I get a little teary eyed when she is finally able to open her box that has the bed jacket in it. She very much deserved to be pamper and have something frivolous to a man's way of thinking! For all you attached fella's out there, go buy your wife something to pamper her with! Okay that cost me two more cents to Opie's Piggy Bank. My isn't it getting a might heavy? Back To The Pickle Stash!

(extra credit if you know the flick!) >> misspoovey, I think that would be a line from "Steel Magnolias," a definite tearjerker as well. I think Dolly Parton's character said it...? ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2000 12:41:48 GMT From: "Harriet Browder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Andy's health Dear hearts, It's a shame that we didn't hear about Andy Griffith's heart attack until now. This happened May 9. And quadruple bypass surgery is not just big but a major ordeal. Thank goodness the media left him alone for most of his recovery. All of us should pray deeply for him. Bless his little old pea picking heart!

I see that he is home in Manteo and I wondered if there would be any way for us to send him get well wishes. Perhaps Allan or someone could find us an address - don't even know if this is possible but worth looking into. Thanks Allan. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2000 14:31:52 -0500 From: Dennis Rogers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #183 OK, so now it's getting really weird out there in TVLand. Last week we saw that apparently Floyd got his barbering start in Beaver Land when he, then known as "Andy", gave Wally a shave. Just last night, I was taken aback by Ward Cleaver singing "Juanita" exactly the same way our beloved Barney sang it a decade later.
