Wow, cool! My maternal grandfather's paternal family were full-blooded Cherokees. Most lived around Loudon/Vonroe. My gfather looked like a full-blooded Cherokee though he was born to a white Quaker woman. My father's maternal gmother had Cherokees in her family, I am still working on it. Fire is now spreading toward Dollywood.

I am at home here in Paulding.

Hope it is raining over there as it is raining nearby. More fires not far from there. The firefighters are trying to get the one near Tellico Village outside of Maryville/Loudon, Tenn., under control. Hope the rain is helping. I am concerned about the fire getting to the churchyards where many of my family including my Native-American Indian family are buried. There is my 4th-great uncle's place sitting in middle of the resort community, it is on the National Register of Historic list.

My father's father and his family used to holiday in Cuba when he was younger. This was before Fidel Castro took over. My father's maternal uncle (by marriage) James was from Cuba. He left Cuba for New York City in the 1940's. From what I was told was that he was homesick and wanted to return there to see his family. His wife (my great-aunt, she was a b***h gold digger) would not let him. I guess he did not want to stay in the US.

Oops yeah I didn't notice the topic. Maybe youse will like Lost Sea in Sweetwater, Tenn. (between Chattanooga and Knoxville). http://thelostsea.com

I remember seeing people talking about going to northern Kentucky to see the giant Noah's Ark. I believe there are several museums on the property. It is like 10-20 minutes outside of Cincinnati. http://bit.ly/1LCPSWe

Aw, they did not say what production company it is. Here's the video clip of the news interview: http://2wsb.tv/2fT47xr If the link above does not work, try this one: http://on-ajc.com/2fqhscN

http://bit.ly/2fkIaXy Here is my advice, do it as soon you can before Apple decides to stop offering this.

I got to sit up all night since 12:50AM to be told of the issues. As I was typing here, the phone is back in service. Thanks to the last rep. I am going off to bed.

Did it drop earlier on you? Still no service here. I am back on waiting for the rep to respond. Earlier they said everything on my end looked good. I suspect they are just regular reps, not the advanced ones. I think I will ask her nicely to transfer me to somebody in the advanced department.

Just wondering --- do you still have service on the phone? I don't have service on my phones and this has been like this way since 7:0PM/19:00! I have been in touch with T-Mobile reps through Facebook for about four hours. Still the same. I had been waiting for a response from them but I decided to quit the chat after being forgotten/put on hold for about 3 hours. -Brian

No problem - I am not friends with him in FB. The last public post he made was on the 21st of June. Maybe he has set for only friends to see his posts/etc. But I did see that he has commented on a photo elsewhere on FB last Monday.

I have his Facebook page in front of me. Would you like me to send it to you?

I hope he is doing well. He is on Facebook I believe.

Apple suppliers Foxconn and Pegatron may be looking into relocating their manufacturing operations for the iPhone from China to the U.S. The news comes on the heels of concerns that when Donald Trumps gets into the White House, he may start pushing Apple to start producing at least a certain number of components for the iPhone in the U.S. http://bit.ly/2g0W7XW This sounds very scary... Phones and everything getting pricier...

I think as president-elect, he is supposed to stay in the Blair House in DC. This is where many recent-elected presidents and their families stay until the big day (inauguration).

No I have not until you mentioned that. I just read the article, so sad! Here is the article: http://at.wftv.com/2fvq7OP

If the pregnant woman was trying to get to the hospital... why did the reporter and the cameraman not do something like getting her to the hospital?

Happy Birthday, BeachBum. Have a great one!

I was outside watching the moon - it was a pretty sight.

I believe they are talking about the new place in Hiram, called Tavern The Place. See this thread: http://bit.ly/2g8sEzF
