Exhaustion seems to melt over Kristy's numb body as she stares blankly down at the paper work that clutters across her old desk while her mind continues to be lost back at home. Back at home where her eighteen month old son is the sickest he has ever been, her four year old daughter seemingly coming down with the same thing, her younger brother has been left behind to babysit and on top of it all, the bills continue to fall upon them. Bills that they are unable to pay or know how to. Deep down, she knows it isn't much different than what it probably is for everyone else in town, but she still can't shake the heavy burden that seems to be on top of her. Even though there is two other adults in the house that helps out as much as they can. Taking a deep breath, she stands up from her old chair just in time to hear her boss' door open and close and as she looks up she finds Lulu Hogg slowly stepping away from the door. Putting a smile on, Kristy moves to her open door way and says, "It's nice seeing you here, Miss Lulu." At hearing her name, Lulu Hogg slowly turns around and a warm and welcoming smile spreads across her face as she moves towards her husband's secretary. "Well if it isn't Kristy Duke," Lulu speaks, "you are looking as lovely as ever. Tell me, how's those darlin' kids of yours? I haven't seen them around in awhile." Kristy shrugs. "Well at the moment they aren't too darlin' you ask me. They are both sick with ear infections and what seems to be a bad cold," she states as she watches over Lulu's shoulder as Rosco enters the room. Looking back at Lulu, she continues, "but according to Applebee, with his medicine, they should be back to their normal self in a few days." "Poor things," Lulu states, "you let me know if you need anything from me. I'd be glad to watch them for you while mean ol' Hogg has you working." "Thanks for the offer," Kristy states while noticing Rosco staring angrily at her, "but they're with Garrett right now and there is always LB to help out too." "Kristy Duke," Rosco barks from his desk, "if you wanting to keep this here job, I suggest you get to work before Hogg comes out and sees you standing there like that. You know he frowns upon -" "Rosco Pervis Coltrane!" Lulu snaps turning around and Rosco seems to sink further into his chair as his sister raises her voice at him, "Will you leave the poor woman alone already! My husband is pretty damn lucky she's here at work at all with her kids sick and all! Give her a break already!" "I. . .I was only trying to warn her," Rosco states quietly as he grabs some paper out of a basket and acts to be working on them. "Don't give him no bother," Lulu turns back to Kristy, "he only acts scary. Well honey, I have some work to do if I am ever going to get it done. You let me know if I can be of any help, you hear?" "Sure do. Thanks Lulu," Kristy waves at Lulu as Lulu turns and begins to walk towards the door leading to the hallway. Kristy eyes the aging sheriff momentarily who attempts to ignore her before she slips back down into her chair to stare back down at the paper work. Picking up her favorite pen her dad had given her before they had left Knoxville, she slowly begins to fill out the paper work while she forces her thoughts away from home and onto the work she is being paid to do. (Cue Daney) -
Ok I can go on and on about the race...tell me if you want me to, but I'll shut up before boring you to death. Jr was funny he was lose and said "This is fun, but I don't know how productive this is" HA HA. Then during the red flag he was playing baseball trivia with his crew and then he told an announcer that they should just put a cone over the hole and have the drivers race around it. HA HA. OK as I said, I'll shut up now. I hope you are enjoying that yucky white stuff!
-
Well Daytona 500-you missed the six hour long race! Six hours...they had to red flag it twice. Once for an hour and forty-one minutes and a second time for over a half hour due to a large chunk of the track falling out! Never seen that before, now I have. It was a great race...up until the end. Gordon got into Kahne with a few laps to go and then on the last lap he wrecked and finished 26! Johnson finished 35 due to a broken axle that took him to the garage early. Jr finished second though which is good for him and Jamie McMurray won it. I like him...but not as much as Gordon. Wait...I don't think there is another driver out there that I like as much as I do Gordon. Johnson is a close second in my books with Jr third.
-
You forgot about the Daytona 500? How could anyone forget about Daytona 500?! *sighs dramatically* Well at least you remembered sometime through it. The candy sounds yummy though don't know if I'd be able to eat it with Gordon on it or Johnson for that matter. Jimmy Johnson...that's the football announcer! Jimmie Johnson is the race car driver and my second favorite! Sorry had to give you a hard time about that!
-
Old? Me? HA! Eh I guess I can't laugh too hard, there are days I feel old. LOL. As I said, glad you like snow.Someone hasta like it. Glad you got a snow day outta it! Congrats on the General Lees! And of course you can dream!
-
Sadly I don't have time to chat. I should be getting ready for bed as it is. One of these days we'll have to chat. Perhaps Friday night? Just can't be nine central time...Numb3rs is on then (talking of which I got to chat with the creater of Numb3rs Sat. night...well mostly listened into other people chatting with her. Oh well) Anyway it has been awhile since we did chat.
-
*Sits on motorcycle with a cigarette and watches Chet leaving the jail* Heard what was happenin, bro. Good luck. You know where to find me if you need me for anything. *Drives away*
-
OK after chatting with you Saturday night, I have to ask...did you watch the race? If so, what you think? LOL.
-
PS: What is up with the beards? First Jr and then Tim McGraw had one when he sang before the race. . .LOL. Just had to ask. Though I think Jr's beard is growing on me...a little, it didn't bug me as much as it had during the SHootout!
-
When they parked the truck there after the second time of repairing it in order for the cars to miss it, I was thinking they should just park the truck over it and let them race. Right after that, DW said the same thing! LOL. Found that funny too. I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time when they interviewed McMurray and McMurray was saying something about how he said something to his wife about winning and then he stopped and said I'm gonna cry and then he did. All that emotion right there. I am happy he won and for Jr comin' in second. (Did Edwards' wife had her baby yet? LOL) Well I will let you be, sorry to be writing you this long and boring book. Feel free to tell me to shut up any time now. Am looking forward to hearing what you thought of the race!
-
Well it is me again...sorry for all these messages. Though felt as if I should write again due to my sour mood over the race last night. It was a good race...up until the ending that is. LOL. Am very happy for JR - that is what him and his team needs. He was funny to listen to - a girl I work with is a JR fan and I guess she and her friend got a sprint phone and can listen into the drivers - she said they listened to Jr yesterday communicating to his crew cheif and said he was funny to listen to there too. Loved when he said "That it was fun, but don't know how productive it is" about being loose on the track. Or his baseball trvia...or when he told them to cover the hole with a cone and they will miss it.
-
OK sorry to vent...six hours of watching that plus what it took for the prerace show plus the anticipation of it throughout the winter and just for him to wreck at the very last lap. I knew it could happen, it could have happened to anyone, just frustrating. I guess we are off to California - hopefully Gordon rebounds with a win and Johnson a runner up. Jr can finish third to prove he has what it takes to make it this year and that it wasn't on accident he finished second today. I'll shut up before boring you to death or upsetting you with my complaining. I am glad that your drivers did great today! I bet you were very excited...and rightfully so.
-
As for me...am frustrated with it. Was a great race up until the last few laps or so. I mean first Johnson goes out and has his issues and the announcers made that catty remark about how he's not gonna win it. (like duh!) Sorry I like them (the announcers) just the comment bugged me. Then Gordon gets into the back of Kahne to wreck Kahne and the announcers made that big deal of how Gordon started it. And then Gordon wrecks on the last lap and they really don't even show until way past the end of the race and I still don't know what happened to wreck him. 26th and 35 finishes for my two drivers. ERRR. HOw frustrating it has to be for Gordon to be wrecked at the last lap and not be able to finish it!
-
I hope you got to watch the race. I am looking forward to hear what you thought of it. All of your drivers seemed to finish great! McMurray won, I thought of you with him and was hoping he would win over Biffle (though Biffle is a pretty good guy I think) though would have been happier if Jr woulda passed him to win it. Though Jamie deserves it as well. (though not as much as Gordon did if you ask me...HA HA)
-
It is great to see you back on here at an almost regular basis! Welcome back!
-
I hope that you get to watch some of it too Texas Daisy - Tim McGraw is going to be singing before the race. I am highly hoping they will air that on TV! I am planning on watching and am looking forward to it!

NASCAR don't make no sense whatsoever to me. Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski go into an accident on the last lap (Busch lost control of his car and Brad got into him) well NASCAR didn't put a yellow flag out until after Stewart won the race. Like what good does that do? Dunno, didn't make any sense to me especially since it happened a few minutes before Stewart crossed the line, they should have done it right away if they were going to do it and extend the race. Give everyone a chance and all. That would have made it a closer race than what it was...though Edwards finished second so I guess his wife didn't have the baby yet. If so she had it in advance enough time for him to be racing. . .
-
Well I know you probably won't see this or any of my other messages I may be sending you with Daytona tomorrow, but figured I'd send it to you anyway. (I hope you will have a great three day weekend and that you will return rejuvinated and reenergized! Everyone needs time off to relax and to do what one loves to do!)
I saw the last fifteen laps or so of the Nationwide Series race. They must be really trying to sell Danica to everyoen because on the bottom line banner they kept saying over and over again how she got taken out in the 12 car pile up. Anyway Stewart won it and if you just listened to the announcers you'd think that Allgaier was right next to him and it was really close. It was close, but not as close as they made it sound out to be.
-
Well with the new NASCAR season starting back up tomorrow with the Daytona 500, I thought I'd remind people of Hazzard County's NASCAR club. If you want to talk anything NASCAR; be it the track or the races or the drivers or their crews, this is the place to be. It is open to all who wants to join! Hope to see you there!
-
*Shakes head* How could anyone like the snow? Beats me, but am glad at least someone does. HA HA. Glad you are getting the stuff you like then. Hate the humidity as well, but at least you can drive in it without going off the road or what not. Or at least I can take Lilly, my dog, outside without having to get all dressed up for it...plus she does her thing a lot better when there isn't all that yucky white stuff on the ground. LOL
Consider yourself lucky...I have all seasons on DVD of the Dukes and yet can't recall the last time I Sat down to watch an episode. How bad is that? Good luck at getting the rest of the seasons while you rewatch the seasons you have!
-
*Shakes head* Well Brian, can't believe you of people would be the one to slip up and allow something like this to happen. Oh well. Now you know how the rest of us felt when you locked us up...innocently. Anyway, if there is anything I can do for you while you rest up in your purdy little jail cell there, just let me know. Perhaps I could take your fancy little car over there for a drive for you while your locked up all tight, you know, to keep the tires spinning. Sounds fair to me. Afterall, it was you, that stole my motorcycle while I was locked up and drove him...though I am grateful for you returning it just as it was when you and MaryAnne had arrested me; as I knew you would. Anyway good luck on your bail, hopefully MaryAnne isn't too rough on ya, especially after what you did to her. Though gotta admit she did a great job on her bail you gave her.
-
*Smiles* I noticed that too when I saw her collage and wondered how I earned such an honor to be top and in center of the collage. Though I'll have to be careful being in between the likes of Cowboy and Alex.
-
You did an awesome job on the collage MaryAnne! Congratulations on your newfound freedom...how does it feel to be out and about now? Nice fast one that you pulled on your cousin over there, I'm sure he ain't too happy about it, but he'll get over it eventually. Hopefully at least. . . *Turns to Brian* How's it feel be locked up in there? Guess you now know how the rest of us feel being locked up for something you didn't even do...Anyway, let me know if there is anything I can do for you while you spend your time locked up. Perhaps I can take your car out for a drive just to keep the tires spinning. Sound fair to me. Afterall, you got to steal my motorcycle and take him for a ride while I was locked up.
-
He better have a back up plan other wishe he's in trouble. LOL. And it would be a dumb mistake, if you ask me, if he were to miss his baby's birth to the race. I agree with you there. I am sure there are drivers out there that has experience and would be able to drive for him. Willingly. Good luck to him on that.
-
BRRRR...I am glad that you didn't get all that snow, but it sounds like you got a lot and too much to start off with. That is probably wise then not to throw a party. Too bad about having to cancel the parties though, that would be disappointing.
As for me, I have to admit the winter and the snow and all of that stuff has seemed to drag me down as it always does. I keep telling my parents I'm going to move somehwere where it's warm year round. I am beyond ready for spring and of now, I'd love to see the rain. Though like you said, definately not freezing rain.
