Well, I knew what RFD stood for, but I didn't know that those WV towns were the first test markets for it. It's nice to see that WV was first in something - that is besides people living below the poverty line. Please don't jump on me for saying that. I am from WV and still live here, but it seems that we are often last at good things (education, health, etc.) and first at the bad things (poverty, obesity). But I do love my home state and always will. Hey, it gave me a good education and I think I turned out okay, so it can't be all bad, right? We have friendly people and beautiful views and fun whitewater to ride in the summer! UMMMM, what's the TAGS reference here? Well, I grew up in a small town (where I still live) and it wasn't too different from Mayberry! I didn't know any Emma's, but I am sure that we had a few Otis', and we did have a policeman we called Barney even tho that wasn't his name. And my very own cousin is a pharmacy gal and believe me, you can't get any meds from her without a prescription - not even sugar pills! Y'all have a Mayberry day...Lisa _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
