He lives in the back hills of East TN. You know, where they have to go outside to use the restroom.;) :p How he got an internet connection I have no clue. Guess he's a little more advanced than the others in his area.:D
 
:D Well if they got internet maybe they have indoor plumming. LOL
 
LOL Yes we finally got indoor plumbing about a week ago. I am still trying to figure out how we have an internet connection here in the back hills. Oh and BTW I am TN's other half. We live I would say about an hour and half from Knoxville and it takes us 3 1/2 to get my mom's in Charlotte.:p
 
Don't you mean BETTER half?;)

Humm....internet before plumbing....what's this world coming to?:D

BC, :takethat: :p

I'm between Newport and Johnson City...Greene County. I can be on a mountain quicker than BC can get across town. :D Yes, we have internet up here in the boonies...cable internet even. We got all kinds of high tech doodads these days. Indoor plumbing too. Not to say we have sold our souls in the name of modern advancement though. It's a nice peaceful quiet way of life, and I wouldn't trade it for all the trappings of city life. In fact, I did the exact opposite.

BC, your fantasy football team did well, congrats. I need to stick to the racing it looks like.

Who needs plumbing when you can go outside and pee without 472 neighbors staring at you? :p

Hello IM28, lunchtime I presume.
 
Actually Ward-Fan, I'm quite jealous of where you live. I grew up out in the country of West Tennessee. And I do miss it at times. I'm currently building a house in LaVergne but that's not exactly the country. But at least it's not right in Nashville either.

I haven't even looked at the fantasy football since I set my lineup last week. Guess I'll have to go check it out. I've got a pretty good team but then I thought everybody had a pretty good team. The one thing I can't do is fantasy racing, for some reason I'm terrible at that. So I just gave up on it.:rolleyes:

Oh yea, I can get from downtown Nasvhille to my apartment in the Boro in 45 minutes. How long does it take you to get up that mountain? Without the mountain goat chasing you...;)

I'm about 2 miles from the base of the mountain. Factor in that I have a 4X4, and that I drive it like I stole it, and I got ya beat by a good 20 minutes.

Lavergne, huh? Speed Trap USA still, or has that calmed down?

Is that all? Seems like at least 98%. And none of them know where the hell they're going. But, then, neither do the natural born cabbies. (Should be a horror flick, Natural Born Cabbies. Starring Bobby D, of course.)

I am scared to DEATH of spiders....workers replacing portions of my deck found hundreds of Black Widows!!! Snakes don't bother me at all.

As to cabbies, I think maybe only 2% nationwide are NOT recently arrived immigrants.

Makes me wonder about that hippo tho :p
I collect elephants and haven't seen one jump yet, hehehe
 
Any you girls want me to prove that elbow theory wrong?:p Just curious.:D :nyanya:
 
Uhhh.....pbunch, I'm dunno what you mean by that but I'm a little worried as to where you might be going with it.:sketchy:
 
I feel like an idiot. Of course I read the elbow thing and had to try it. Too bad my boss had to walk by at that moment.
