  3. OK. :) Glad to see you are writing. If I find time and if my muses cooperate with me I am hoping to write my own fic as well. That is a big IF though.

  4. Very well drawn Elly Mae...you have talent in drawing. Thanks for sharing it with us.
  5. You should make them as long or as short as you want to make them. Don't go by anyone else's story...make it your own.

  6. Well guess who it is again? LOL. I wasn't going to post anything until I thought you were back so as to not bog you down with so much posts and all...don't think that is going to happen after tonight's race if it is as exciting as I am hoping it will be. I hope you will at least be able to catch a bit of it at least...or I know the speedchannel use to (Dont' know about this year) run the same race the next Thursday around two or so - you could record and watch it ;) Though if you are like me, I'd just hop on line and see who won and how Gordon and Johnson did and if they had a bad race, there is no need to watch the tape. LOL - or if you are also like me, don't have the time to sit down and watch it. So I hope you get to watch part of it...if not I will watch it for you and hope Edwards a good race - though I will be going for Gordon and Johnson - but I always wish Edwards a good race. He has such an awesome personality and attitude (as does Gordon and Johnson) and they all deserve a good race. My opinion of course.

    I didn't watch the Nationwide series race nor did I read the article I saw, but looks like ol' Carl Edwards won the race last night...though no back flip due to his broken foot. I think I'd be bummed out not to see him do it after a win, though I would understand why he wouldn't do it. LOL. (this was the original reason why I wrote to you...now how look this post is :D) So maybe he can carry that momentum to tonight's race.

    I was meaning to ask you, where does the announcers get the nickname for Edwards as Cousin Carl? I have always wondered that. LOL

    GO (JEFF) GORDON, GO JOHNSON, GO EDWARDS :D

  7. That was quick...it takes me months to write a chapter, but then again mine are like fifteen or so pages typed...and I have been plagued by the horrible nightmare of writer's block for what seems to be forever now. Garrett is such an ornery and stubborn muse.

  8. LOL...you are fine. The dad idea sounds interesting and original. Keep up the good work.

  9. I generally just write until the end and not worry about how many chapters there is for the most part. I tend to compare it to past stories and all that. Do what you want to do though.

  10. Number 88
  11. You are welcome. That is creative thinking putting yourself and your friend in the story. Good job.

  12. Why I love the Dukes...better question is, what's not to love about the Dukes? It is a family show and as was mentioned, there doesn't seem to be much more of them kind of shows out there any more. Sadly. It has an awesome cast of actors/actresses with great characters that had helped build the show. I have seen each episode (Bo and Luke episodes...have watched Coy and Vance's episodes, but only a few times each or so) and no matter how much I've seen an episode, I still find it funny and interesting to watch. The show has a little bit of something for everyone - action, comedy, good looking people, and of course the famous orange car of The General Lee. Plus no one ever got really hurt and everything turned out alright by the end - as Waylon once said "They tend to like happy endings in Hazzard". Or something to the effect at least. The show builds a warm enviroment that just makes you want to pack up and move to Hazzard, Jesse has such a warm and welcoming personality that he almost makes it feel as if he were your own uncle. And though Boss and Rosco may be crooked and do almost anything to get dem dang Duke boys in jail and out of their way so they can freely control Hazzard to get the money and power that they want, they always had their limits and their own set of morals about them. Though crooked in their own right, they went out of their way to make sure no one got hurt in thier schemes to get the Dukes in jail...or should I say, try to get them in jail. Then of course you have Bo and Luke, Daisy and Cooter, and sweet Deputy Enos Strate. All willing to help out and to be there when needed - to go out of their way to help others and to make things better Plus if I'm having a bad day or something is wrong or worrying me and I by chance happen to put in a DVD of the Dukes, for that hour or so, things seem to be just fine while I watch Rosco and Boss in hot persuit of Bo and Luke...As I said, the show has a little something for everyone and has an awesome cast of characters...I think the cast that they picked out and the characters that they created is what made the show what it is and how great it is. Oh and don't forget The General!
  13. I like chapter one of your story - of what you got up so far. Hope Kristen has a better day tomorrow ;). School can be rough sometimes.

  14. Thanks Daisy for joining my group! :D I am excited about it.

  15. Jeff Gordon
  16. (Redneck Woman - Baby's Got her Blue Jeans On is by Mel McDaniel. Lucky you to be able to be the one to mention that song. LOL. That was my first all time favorite song. I loved that song and still do.)
  17. Atlanta Motor Speedway (even though the track is technically in Hampton (I think) and is about an hour away from Atlanta (I think that is what they said at one time or another) )
  18. I don't know if this would be the proper place to put this thread or not, so I apologize if it is in the wrong section. I just created a new public group called Hazzard County's NASCAR Group and as the title implies it is about NASCAR. It is a place to talk anything NASCAR from your favorite driver, your favorite race or track, to the upcoming chase, and about past races as well as the upcoming race. It is open to who ever wants to join and to talk about NASCAR . Here is the link to the group. http://www.hazzardnet.com/forums/group.php?groupid=22&gmid=464#gmessage464 Thank-you.
  19. OK I'll have to check it out. ;) By the way...I just created a new group that is public if you want to join. It is called Hazzard County's NASCAR Group - for all things NASCAR . LOL

  20. Oops...I didn't answer your question. I had to go back and look. As to whether I think Kyle will make it or break it...that's hard. If his luck holds out as he has been having, he won't make it, but I surely wouldn't count him out of it either. As I said, he is talented...LOL (I am sorry if you do like him, for what I said earlier. I tend to just take for granted that people feel the same about him as I do for some reason) Like I said earlier, I don't like saying things against a driver as to not offend anyone. So all of that I say about Kyle is my opinion...of what little it is worth. LOL

    As for Jimmie's and Brian Vicker's problem...that confused me to. But I think they said that there is two different ways that you can break an axel or something like that and Johnson had to go under the car to shove something or another. Something like that. I can't remember how they explained it, but they did say something about it being broken on the other side and shoving something it seems. LOL. They were surprised themselves that Vickers was able to fix it so quickly...he didn't even go a lap down! The only thing I can think of is that Johnon's break was worse or was in a more difficult place to fix than Vickers. Lucky for Vickers...LOL. Oh well, it is Vickers that needed the more points since he is on the bubble.

    I hope you have a great weekend! I am looking forward to your reply to all my messages. Hope they weren't too boring for you. LOL. Am also looking forward to hear what you think of tomorrow's race or the results. Good luck in the tractor pull...and have a GREAT time at the Toby Keith concert - he puts on a great show. I have seen him once and would love to see him again. LOL. In fact, I am wearing one of the shirts I got at his concerts. Too bad about the truck race though, but you do have think of travel and costs and so forth. Are you going to go to any of the chase races this year? LOL...as I said, once I get started talking about NASCAR, I don't shut up. Anyways enjoy your weekend. :)
