Soaps.com - MESSAGE BOARDS

Hi Tarheels (& everyone else). I was born & bred in North Carolina too & have had folks here since at least 1709 (just the ones from Europe. I am pretty sure some of my people were watching when the first boats landed).

nana3 habits re hard to break. I wont' tell you what I just ate but fried chicken and steamed potatoes ( you know the kind you cut up aa many onions to match the potatoes. not quite)

I don't endorse nor I am an Avon lady but I can tel you all this if you get an Avon lady to backorder Planet Spa Desert Rose Clay Facial Cleanser you'll be happy. It was 5 for $10. I gifted to some ladies and they are now believers. It's creamy and soothing and your face will love you. and it smells good too. I do moisturise afterward.

Hi. I used to keep up with you people over at updates, but it isn't the same anymore. Where is trouble and the Limo trips?

Good morning everyone. TRUTH must be on the road or something. Bad boy.Doesn't he know we need him here!!!

Got a tooth pulled yesterday for the first time. If this is how it feels with just one I'm not looking forward to the future!!!

Tata for now.

Good morning all....I've been reading the posts and truly do enjoy our time together on the board.

It is overcast here today, rained last night really hard, and the rest of the week is looking to be the same.

To all the NC posters - if I rooted for an NC college it would be the Tarheels. However, hubby and I are a very disfunctional couple. He went to Penn State and I graduated from Mississippi State - our vehicles get a lot of strange looks needless to say. He did spend some time in NC during his 22 years in the Marine Corps and also likes the Tarheels as far as NC teams go.

Everyone have a great day!

Cindi

Checking out for a bit - Huntsville is under tornado warning

Administration is getting serious about shout outs!!! I'll be toggling back and forth today.

Yes Sandi, they have nearly ruined the site. Not the same at all. I never got invited on the limo rides but cracked up hearing about it. Did Truth & Trouble et al get banned or just get bored & leave?

Cindi, did your husband ever get posted at Camp Lejeune? That is my home turf (literally). My grandmother, a widow, had her house and farm on Courthouse Bay. Everyone lost their land in the late 1930's when the government decided they needed a base on New River to help protect the coast from the Germans. They let us have a big reunion there every fall & the descendants of families in NC since the 1720's get to meet & greet each other & enjoy each other's fine Southern cooking. Would not miss it for the world. My 93 year old Mama is one of the original survivors. She was one of the last to move out. She weighed 95 pounds & was very beautiful & alone b/c my father was in the Navy & it was getting dark & her ride had not come & she was afraid so she sat on the steps with her rifle waiting. A soldier asked her "You wouldn't shoot us, would you Lady?" and she replied "Not unless I have to". It was all so sad. Most of the older people who were forced to move died off very quickly. One old man had a heart attack on his porch when the bull dozers came to push his house down because he would not sell the government his land & move. They only gave my grandmother $2000 for her house & outbuildings & 50 acres of beautiful, historic, waterfront land. But a base really was needed there. During the Civil War the Yankees seized most of the inlets to the ocean very early & during WWII there were enemy submarines all up & down our coast.
