And I was in a sort of "Dr. Seuss mood" when I put that suggestion in for the last line of the limerick. :) Someone was writing about living in a small town, and how neighbors looked out for other people's kids. Boy, do I remember those days! I'm from a small town and our neighbors always knew what we were up to. That can be good, but on the other hand, as a kid it was kind of hard. If you got in trouble somewhere in the neighborhood, you could bet that your parents would know before you even got home. Still, it was nice growing up where everyone knew everyone and would do anything to help you anytime they could... :) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2001 18:09:11 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: The Orkin Man Hey To All, Haven't been posting much, guess I haven't had much to say lately but oh how I've been reading! Has anyone catched the Orkin commercial that airs frequently? It's the one where you think you are watching a fabric softener commercial and a big fly comes on the screen. The Orkin man comes on, squirts and exterminates the fly. Did you catch the line Orkin is using? "Call the Man!" I had seen that commercial, I don't know how many times and it's just catching up to me what phrase they are using! Wonder if the writer of the commercial watched TAGS alot growing up! Doing my Monday pickle count...my stash got one BIG jar less because someone gave the jar away for a door prize at the Mayberry Reunion Dinner. Hmmm...there were two dinners, I suspect I will be two jars short... Want A Pickle?

I'm guessing it's a '62 or a '63. That seemed to be the high fallutin' car of choice for big wigs who came through Mayberry; the woman who wrote to Floyd through the lonely hearts club also showed up in one. Most likely it's because Lincoln is a division of Ford and Ford provided the cars for the show...

Having a cook out, going to a parade, entering a beauty contest! :-) Wanted to share a special 4th of July site a web-buddy of mine made. Give it a sec to load, it's nice, real nice! And Barney sure could have used it, he wouldn't have had to muss up his hair!

Then, on the next episode with the horse Dolly, the milkman at one point said "I'll be danged." Are these the closest to "strong language" on TAGS, or does anyone know any else such dialogue. Just curious. I Kind it kinda funny. - -Jr Nope "We Defy the Mafia!!!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

Since I grew up in Mount Airy, Endy's hometown, at the SAME TIME HE DID, I believe that Andy based the atmosphere and actions in "Mayberry" on what HE HAD EXPERIENCED AS HE WAS GROWING UP I remember clearly that all of us young'uns had a FREE RUN of the town as long as it was light. The only instruction was, "Make sure you're home by dark, honey!" When I was researching and remembering with the locals in Mount Airy, EMMETT FORREST, Andy's childhood friend, confirmed my memories of how children roamed at will. Nobody locked the doors to their homes or cars. Children were raised to be responsible, to have duties and chores around the house. We didn't "talk back" to our elders and I remember being sent outside to cut the switches that would be used on me if I misbehaved. Children were not waited on, or catered to, and leaving a well-trained, responsible child alone for a short period of time was not considered "wrong." We were taught to be self-sufficient, but that we could always count on others for help when we needed it. I bet most of you, in your younger years, picked up hitch-hikers without any question. Maybe you were even the one who was hitch-hiking. It was a NORMAL part of life. Would you pick up hitch-hikers NOW? Probably not. >From my point of view -the world has made some unfortunate turns in the ensuing years. That's Why We Long To Go Back To MAYBERRY! We have had many technological advances that perhaps have made life easier, but when it comes to interpersonal relationships -LIFE WAS BETTER THEN!

I was just writing to someone about TAGS when a thought struck through my bucket hole and ricocheted around my bucket.... We see Barney and Andy in ALL kinds of weather and all different seasons. One of the things that never changed no matter how hot it might have gotten outside is their uniform always had long sleeves. They never had a winter uniform and a summer uniform like most Police Departments have. That got me to thinking even harder. I remember Barney in his "street" clothes and some of his shirts were short sleeved....but I can't recall seeing Andy in short sleeves... Did Andy not like or wear short sleeved shirts? Hmmm...I did my pickle count and was TWO jars off! Wonder where they went?? Sandi (TJ) P.S. I posted this question over at Miss Crumps but then got to thinking there are folks at the Digest who aren't over at Miss Crumps and vice versa... ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V3 #186 ***************************** ************************************************** ~ Visit our sponsor ~ Weaver's Department Store ~ http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/weavers/ ************************************************** You must send your comments to the Digest from the address you used to join WBMUTBB or your message will not be posted.
