Anyone for Coffee? (no boys allowed)

According to Jeff Foxworthy, Redneck status entails a "glorious lack of sophistication." Brother Pen is most certainly sophisticated, or at least moreso than Larry the Cable Guy...

Thats a fairly easy accomplishment though Robin. I think Pen is in the top of the top for sophistication.

Thank you, Drama. Yeah, any big farm boy around here could wear a shirt with no sleeves and talk dirty and say "Git 'er done!" Foxworthy may call it a "glorious lack of sophistication" but you'll notice he knows what the words mean, so he isn't uneducated. I do have an accent, but I'm also a mimic, so I can do a fair British upper crust accent when I want or a Croc Hunter, (miss you, Steve!), which drives people crazy to have you pull it on them at a drive through window! :lol: I speak French to some extent, some Spanish, (my daughter is fluent!), understand a lot of Latin, and words from dozens of cultures pop up in my sonnets. So I'm not that hick, I guess! :D

I live north of Marion now in a small town called "Atkins" which may not even be a dot on the map. To leave my home any way except by the I-81 corridor is to cross a mountain within five miles.

LOL..
Why scary? mountains? Every time I've flown, I've flown over the Alps :sick: That's scary indeed.... I'm scared of flying in general and I'm sick of all the procedures it takes...go to airport ages in advance... check-in... kilometres to the gates, metal detectors... It takes a whole day anyway and it makes me so nervous and tired as hell. I should try and go back to England by train... or maybe not.. but hmm...arrggghh...

No it was tiny 12 seeter jet I could see the wheels as we took off and landed and there were sparks lots of them and I know its normal but I didnt like it one little bit.

I hear you, Nightshade. When I was in the Air Force, on my way to my first duty station in Grand Forks, North Dakota, I was flown in to the Twin Cities. From there, I was put on a puddle-jumper, prop air plane that I could actually feel twisting around me. I don't mean twisting as in the plane was doing loop-de-loops or barrel rolls--no, I mean twisting, as in the left side of the aircraft was twisting in a direction contrary to the direction of the right side. :sick:

Hummmm. That could land at the Wythe County Airport, about 15 miles north. ;)

Oh God, flashbacks . . . :p i travel a lot, but since i live in Pittsburgh, a relatively small city (or at least with small numbers of people flying), i ALWAYS get these bumpy, horrible puddle-jumper planes. I just got back from Yellowstone, and going in i had to ride on one of the smallest yet, with terrible turbulence! I think i'm never going to fly again . . . :sick:

VOLIA........!


Mir are you my homie???

no your not never mind........... so who am I looking for?

I hate that so much. Flying I guess is a necessity if one has to go far, but I don't like it anymore. Was it a small plane, mir? If you hit turbulence with a small plane, it's way worst. It scares the dickens out of me. It really feels like the plane is going to come apart. Of course I'm an engineer and have confidence in engineering, but it's still nerve rattling.

yeah, i think it was . . . i'm always afraid that it will just fall right out of the air!! Although, i've found that if i don't look out the window, and concentrate on something else (like a book), it isn't that bad. :)

Plus, i recently read Airframe, by Michael Crichton, and now i'm expecting every plane i get into to fall apart into a bunch of little pieces! :p
