Am I reading into things too much?
That is kinda odd that he refused to look at you once he saw your shirt. I have several DOH shirts and one kinda like the one you described, but the lettering and numbers are black. As far as I have noticed no one really has acted or said they were offended by it. Though in highschool, I had a Confederate Flag on a shirt that said something like 'it's a Southern thing y'all wouldn't understand" or something to that sort and had a boy in my class call me a racist and claim he was going to go tell another boy in the class who is from Hawaii about it. I got and wore the shirt for The General and the Dukes, I am definately not racist so his jab at me did get me upset, but I think that was his plan, to get me upset. Though back to your question, I guess as long as it isn't someone who you see every day or someone close to you, I wouldn't let it bother you too much. Because if he or anyone else knew anything about the show, we all know there is nothing racist in it or about it. So maybe it is him that is reading too much into your shirt. If it did bother you, you could ask him about it next time if he treats you the same way and then explain to him the show and what your shirt means. I hope that helps a little bit. . .

I was wondering?
That is a great question, but it is hard to chose which scene and what episode. There is so many to chose from. The first one to come to mind is "Ghost of General Lee" where the boys are playing with the law while they think they are dead. Or perhaps at the episode of "The Dukes Meet Cale Yourboro" (I know I misspelled his name...) would be great to meet a legendary NASCAR driver. . . Give me time, I am sure I will be able to think of plenty of other scenes or episodes that would be great to be in! I just would think it would be great to be in any episode and to be able to meet, hang out with, and talk to all of the characters ont he show - especially the Dukes and Cooter. Would love to listen to Uncle Jesse - his advice and stories and so forth. To ride in The General with the boys...the list goes on and on. Great question!

'The Boys are Back'.....The Oak Ridge Boys that is!
That is a good picture you took there of the boys! Am glad that you had a good time and sounds like you got some good merchandise there as well. I like Neal's music and his singing was great and energetic. Didn't mean to sound like I didn't like him or anything like that or anything else negative. I appreciate that Neal and the rest of the singers seem to take time out for their fan club members, but would highly rather that they do it before or after the concert as most other artists do. Out of all the concerts that I have been to, Neal McCoy's concert is the only concert that I went to that seemed like he catered to his fan club through his entire concert time. I just found it rude and annoying. Other than taking time out during the concert for his fan club members (I really can't remember what he did for them, other than he did take time out for them) he put on an energetic concert. Thanks for posting the picture on line, good luck with the rest that you are picking out to post.

'The Boys are Back'.....The Oak Ridge Boys that is!
Yes please post pictures when you get the chance! It sounds like you had an awesome time at the concert, I am very happy that you were able to go and see them. Sounds like they are going to be coming out with another good album - am excited to hear they have another CD..new CD...coming out. Hopefully it will bring them a lot of success and bring us with some new songs on the radio. I seen them a few years ago with Neal McCoy. Everyone thought I would like Neal better, but the boys were way better than Neal McCoy. Neal was alright, but he spent most of his time on the stage dealing with his fan club - seemed like every other song he would have one of them on stage or do something for his members. Glad he is doing things for them, but it didnt' seem fair to everyone there that wasn't in his fan club, kinda made it seem like he thought they were more important than the others there. Plus it took up time that he could have been singing. Was disappointed with that. The Oak Ridge Boys put on an awesome concert, liked them before the concert, but afterwards, I had left a bigger Oak RIdge Boys fan than when I had entered. They are just awesome...glad to hear you had a good time!

Floor plan for Jesse's house?
Nice work, Wekke! Thank-you for sharing your work with us and for taking the time to draw the floor plan! You put a lot of detail within it...a lot of detail I hadn't even realized was in the house. I sure could have used the floor plan before I started writing my stories...or at least my series that I had started. Their house as well as other establishments or what not in town always seemed to change from season to season. Or at least way different from the first five episodes that they aired in Georgia. Their inconsistancies make it hard to use much detail within my story without worrying that I have got it all wrong. Which according to your floor plan, I have the house wrong in a few areas. Great job on the floor plan and thanks again for sharing it with us. I enjoyed it very much.

Happy Birthday Denver!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DENVER! You are very well missed! I had always heard and believed his birthday was on May 11th...I think I only heard it once of the December 25th one. I know he died on December 25th...So, until I hear elsewise, his birthday will always be remembered and celebrated on May 11th by me.

2009 March Luck Challenge!
Is or has anyone wrote a story for the good luck challenge? Was just curious. . . I am and have been writing a story for it when I find the time and when my muses agree to work with me. It will definately be late, but I guess it is better late than never.

New Year's Contest
Good job DaisyxEnos!

New Year's Contest
Well it is now the end of March and I am not much better than I had been when I had stated my resolution to not be as lazy. So, I am going to count me out of the contest. I should have stopped and thought of my resolution before stating it...at least more than I had. Winter is always the longest and hardest season for me emotionally, so I should have put that in as a factor in it. Not that I am making excuses for it, because there is no excuse. I failed the contest. Though I am out, I will attempt to work at getting more things done and not being as lazy, especially now that it is or should be getting warmer out. (Hard to say that today, after it snowed all afternoon! Doesn't the weather know it is spring and that once it starts to warm up, it is suppose to stay warm? LOL) Anyway, how is everyone else doing that had signed up for the contest? I hope that you all are doing better than I have done. Good luck to you all!

2009 March Luck Challenge!
Will you still accept a challenge story if it is late? Sadly to say, I highly doubt that I will be able to finish the story before the thirty-first of this month. That is unless I somehow find a lot of spare time to sit down to write and that my uncooperative muses begin to cooperate with me (either of which, I highly doubt will happen). Though, I have had more motivation with this story as of late, I still lack the time to be able to get it all done thoroughly before the end of the month and I want to give the story at least some justice before sending it in. If it isn't acceptable and all that, I will understand. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

This is great!
Thank-you for the videos and for posting the article...enjoyed watching them. It was great and emotional seeing Jimmie meeting his brother. It was also great to see Boss, Cletus, and Daisy as well. Looked like a fun event to go to. Also enjoyed the video with the dog. Don't think he was too happy about getting out of the chair though. I was expecting to hear him bark, though it surprised me all the same. I think it made me jump a foot when he did so. Thank-you to all that posted the videos and the newspaper article. I enjoyed reading the article and watching the videos.

John Schneider on CSI Thursday Feburary 6, 2009
Bet he was good and believeable. I missed the show, but I am sure with him on it, it was a good episode.

Suppose the dukes were given a theatrical film finale in 1985...
I am with you one hundred percent, Roger. I was talking about when the show had originally ended back in 1985 that it would have beena little nice to have them put a closure on the show. It definately would not work now without Jesse, Boss, or Waylon. When I think of the Dukes, I too, would like to picture it as the original show with the original characters doing all that they had done on the show. I wouldn't want to change anything about the original show or the characters - to attempt to do anything now, would kinda put a damper on things I think.

John Schneider on CSI Thursday Feburary 6, 2009
Thanks for the info - I bet that will be an awesome episode/show to catch that night! CSI seems pretty popular right now - I myself have never seen it - but it will be good for John to be on a popular show like that. Hope you will get to enjoy it on your birthday! Happy Early Birthday! Lucky you get to celebrate it with John !

Suppose the dukes were given a theatrical film finale in 1985...
I would enjoy watching it, but then again, I'd enjoy watching anything Dukes...original Dukes that is. LOL - had to clearify that. Anyways, it would definately put a closure to the show - a sense of an ending and so on. Also give an sense that life went on for the Dukes and in Hazzard - just not exactly how it was aired on the show. It would be neat if they would have done that for the Dukes or any shows out there instead of just ending the show. Good idea.

R.I.P Waylon Jennings
Awww don't beat yourself up over it, Lori! You can never pay too much respect or too many tributes to such a talented man as Waylon. May his soul rest in peace! He is missed greatly!

What is your dream job?
Well if I had the money and the means, I would quit my job and work on writing full time, but then again, it is probably for the best that I am unable to quit my job and work full time at writing. LOL...I am sure I am not the best writer or would make it very far even if I attempted to do so. So I guess I'll stay with the job I've got. As for a Hazzard job...hmmm that is a good question. Be horrible working on cars or working at the Boar's Nest. Since I do work at a day care, perhaps I could open my own day care in town...Or work at the orphanage, that would be a sad but rewarding job.
