Every year like clock work. I'll be cookin' up a big mess of collards and peas for New Year's Day. I'm the only one in my house that eats them, but I wouldn't miss it for the world. It's one of my favorite meals of the year.

I have an acre of land and with hundreds of open acres surrounding it. I thought it was great that my dogs could run free. That was until I lost three of them in 18 months to the illegal coyote poison that was put in the fields by some of the cattle growers around me. So, I built a fence earlier this spring. $1500 in material and about three weekends of my time. Our 5 babies now have an area to run about as large as the footprint of my 1300 sqft house. Then the little sweethearts thought it would be fun to dig out. So I ran electric fencing along the bottom of the fence. They haven't gotten ou

I'm online weekdays easily 10-12 hours a day.

Happy Festivus to you as well. I guess if I must celebrate something, it might as well be Festivus.

I have a client that I worked with this spring. The home is a mobile home and is located south of Cedartown just off 27. They have a roof leak that was supposedly fixed by the Seller. The same roofing company that did the repair has already been called back out once. Still not fixed correctly. The home warranty doesn't cover roof repair. Can someone please recommend a company to me that you have done business with and been satisfied? Please don't post in the thread as I won't likely see the posts for a while. Please email me at mark@cmarkwillix.com. Thanks y'all.

And that's my cue to hit the shower. Have a productive day all.

I'll pass on the Christmas...and I'll say Good Morning LPPT.

WTH...you got your face tattooed? How in the hell have I never seen this?

I'm sure. I'll have to start saving my pennies up. I'd like to have it for summer.

When I had my nipple pierced I screamed MF'ing SOB REALLY LOUD. Only I didn't abbreviate. After the guy who did it stopped laughing, he said, wow, you really don't like pain do you. I could have strangled him. However, if my friends are there to hold my hand and Patsy is singing in the background, and of course your mom is so calming, I'm sure I'll be fine.

I'm telling you...the screaming will make someone think a murder is taking place. I'm sure I'll be fine. I just need to get past the nerves, and the price tag.

Awwww hun...y'all are the best. I probably will need you all there to make me laugh. And lord knows we'll be laughing if we're all in the room.

Y'all are gonna hear me screaming all the way to Burnt Hickory when I decide to do it. But I know whatever pain will be involved will be worth enduring to finally have it.

OMG...I never thought about bringing Patsy's music with me. That would make it wonderful. And yes I'll need hands to hold. You guys will want to switch out hands so I don't break them. I have wanted that picture over my heart for years. Most people know I'm a Patsy fan, most don't know that she's my muse. I adore her so much and I think it's only appropriate to carry her over my heart everywhere I go. I'll have to start saving up my money.

She is gorgeous isn't she. Your mom is pretty awesome. She pierced my ear for me last Halloween so I could wear my earrings with my costume. My left one was already done, but she did my right one and was very cool about the whole thing. Any idea what your mom might charge for this. It's going to be intense and again I'm terrified of the pain. I am so afraid I'll get half way and won't be able to finish.

I want a tattoo so bad. The reason I don't have one is I can't afford it at the moment and I'm terrified of the pain. However, one day I will get one. This is what I want inked on my left breast just over my heart. It would mean the world to me to have it and it's very personal. I want this to be sepia tone colored just like this pic, with the exception of her lips which I want to be bright ruby red, because she was known for her bright red lipstick. Sage, can you do this?

Subby I couldn't be happier for you and your new job. I wish all the success in the world. And I can't thank you enough for you kind compliments. I would love to sit in with your band some time. You're kind to ask.

Jimmy says he's making us shrimp and baked potatoes. YUM

That description sounds like Johnboy and Caped Crusader

I've only gotten to know one of the waitresses yet. Her name is Lisa...and she is an absolute doll. She's one of the best servers I've ever seen. And she calls me Toby because my first time in she couldn't get over how much I look like Toby McGuire. I don't see it, but she's not the first one to tell me that. So I guess C. Mark will Toby anytime I'm at R&R. LOL Nice folks, the owner is super cool.

I get rave reviews for my collards. Even my elders who have been cooking them for years say mine are the best. My secret: I fill a big pot with my washed and torn up greens, I add enough water to cover them and throw in a ham hock. I either use one I have in the freezer (I bake hams several times a year) or I buy a package at the grocery. I add a little salt and pepper and a couple of table spoons of sugar. Bring it to a boil, turn it down to simmer, lid the pot and walk away for several hours. I usually cook them for between 3 and five hours on a low simmer. Basically when little pieces of th

Hey thanks. But when did I win the first one. OMG I don't remember doing that. Okay...I just read back through the thread and saw were you gave me credit. I appreciate that. I just assumed I hadn't won because I got in too late. But great. Thanks.

Good luck bud. I know you'll wow them in the interview.

MY FAIR SHARE I love Sally
