Hey Y'all! I thought it seemed quiet on here, that must be why... Red Neck girl 01 wasn't able to come on here!! No, I 'm just teasing you! It is nice to have you back on here. WOW! 100 horses is a pretty big herd! How do you ever keep them all in-line?! Usually mine all decide to misbehave at once and then the barn is chaotic! Ahhhh! Your welcome! I am glad that I could help someone! Gee, I feel smart now! (khee!) Oh, I dont' know if I have fun chasing them... it is fun in the pasture for maybe five or ten minutes. But when they get loose and go galavanting all over the neighbor's hay field, the farmers alfalfa crop, and down to visit their little horsey friends, it isn't my idea of a good time! Oh, well, they do look good when they are running wild, though and I just love the mischevious look in thier eyes when they do that! Yes, 34 is a good ol' age. Maybe Lori knows what that would be in human years... Hey Lori, what's that in human years?! Take it from me... Magoo is funny looking!! Well, when I said Lori knows about him.... I was describing Magoo to her one time and she just could not picture what he looked like (and I am sure it is hard to picture!!) so I sent her a picture and got a letter written back about how gorgeous he is (cough, cough!!) and how I shouldn't say such mean things about such a beautiful horse! That's about right, ain't it Lori? Any way, for the sake of keeping this post somewhat short, I think Magoo is a sore sight, and Lori thinks he's just a sight to behold! I don't take my horses to anyshows, they are all older (as you read before!) and I'm not sure the judges could handle them! They have some kind of attitudes! I'm thinking if Frankie took a disliking to one of the judges, he'd probably give them a big ol' push as they walked by! I'd love to see him enter a conformation class, though. I always joke because he has these big, knoby knees. I can just see some judge docking him for "knobby Knees" and Frankie looking insulted and pushing the judge over! (Okay, maybe that isn't funny, but if you knew him and his personality, it would be hilarious!!) It'd be more interesting than a movie !! I don't know what my favorite breed would be... I guess I'm looking more at personality. They all have their good and bad qualities. (except maybe Magoo!) What is your favorite breed, everyone?! Talk to you all soon! General Grant

Hey Y'all! Sorry, I don't know anything about Plastic Canvas, Quilting, or Embroidering... but I do own horses! We own five of them. (sometimes that isn't a good thing, suprisingly... like when you go out to feed them and they attack you... or they all get out and take off!) Anyway here goes the list -Cherokee: we thought she was an "older breed of morgan" but it turns out she's some wierd combonation, saddlebred/appaloosa, I think. But, she looks black... she must be about 34 by now, maybe older. -Magoo: (Lori knows about this one... he is so ugly!) He is about 23, appaloosa, real fat, short stubby legs, not much mane or tail, and red eyes! Frankie (Or Franklin): 23 big ol' Paint Quarter Horse, just about the sweetest guy you'd ever want to ride! Boomer: 15 year old miniature, "cremello" is on his temporary papers. Basically he is really light brown with a white mane and tail. This guy has SPUNK and major ATTITUDE! He bosses the other horses around when he's 1/3 of their size! Champ: 34?? or older Pony of the Americas (paint quarterpony) nice horse! He is also a nice guy, but he's a "prankster" in our barn! General Grant

Good question, CRMLHT. I was wondering that myself! Hey, Roger, how is the map going???? Oh, and congratulations, CRMLHT on your first post! Welcome to Hazzard county! Hope you enjoy your stay! General Grant

Hi Noth! I'm glad that you are feeling better about your job. I am certain that you will find a job soon that will be better suited to your needs, and that will make you happy in the long run. I'm sure that the only reason that an inexperienced person got the job was money, they are probably cheaper to hire. Don't feel insulted about that at all. If you wanted out of that job so bad, I am sure that you'll look back at this as a relief and wonder how you lived life just dwelling on that job. I have a relative going through the "hate work dwell on it 24/7" phase. I'm trying to talk her into finding a job that is better suited to her. It is hard watching someone you care about go through that. At the time you probably didn't even realize that you dwelled on it that much, but looking back you are probably starting to realize how much that job ruled you. I know things will be tough financially for a while, but I am sure you are much happier without a job you hate hanging over your head, right? Just don't jump back into another job, seek out all of your options, and find one that will make you happy, and never sacrifice your morals or happiness for the sake of money!! Anyway, I am so happy to hear that you are getting back from that shock (I am sure it was a BIG one, too!) and that you are feeling better. Hope to hear even better news soon! General Grant

WHEW!!! That is certainly good to hear. I just hate when I get all worked up and don't even know what I am worked up about. I'll have to enter that one into my personal book, "Computers for Dummies...volume 146"!!! I thought maybe if you were even on a site with a spammer, you would get the boot!That is good to hear that isn't so! Thank you, Lori for explaining that one! General Grant Who would want to spam this site anyway...they must think just because we are country folk we don't know what a spammer is...

That is very good to hear that you cuffed and stuffed them! Still, what exactly is a spammer and is it harmful to me becuase I am on this site? General Grant

Hey Roger! I just read that in another post, hopefully we don't get anymore of that around here! I still liked your post about the person not being a duke fan because of where they posted their comments! That should be included on the list of "Uncle Jesse Quotes"!!! Anyway, I'm glad it is taken care of. General Grant

Good One, Roger!!

Thank You for asking that question, Roger, I was wondering that myself. I've noticed a couple of really weird posts like that from the same person. It was starting to get me alarmed. So, I don't think that is a stupid question, Roger, it is a very intelligent one!! Okay, here's a question: Supposing it is a spammer, what does that mean, and is it harmful to me if I am on this site? General Grant

Hey North!! I am so sorry to hear about your job, but it appears that all of your fellow Hazzardites are cheering you on! I have total confidence that you will find a job soon, and you'll probably be much happier. But please, don't settle for a job that will not make you as happy as you can be at a job. I'm sure it is hard to go to work day in and day out at a job that you absolutely hate and one that you dwell on so much it almost seems to take over your life. If you ever want to talk, feel free to private message me. Just from talking and chatting with you on this site, you seem like a really great person with a lot of talent, and I have all the confidence that you will find a job to suit your needs. But, find one that makes you happy, and one that has people you respect and admire. Again, I am sorry to hear about your job loss, but I am sure you will find one even better. Never give up hope. General Grant

Hey Y'all! Lori- why on earth do people call you possum?! Are you always saying Possum on a gumbush, or something? It sounds like you must have a good time at school! Anyway, this is a fun thread, and thank you to whoever started it! General Grant

Hello Mike! Welcome to Hazzard Net! That is so cool that you got John Schneider's autograph! I am so happy for you! Have you gotten anyone else's autographs or met any of the cast/crew? I hope that you stick around for a while and enjoy your stay! General Grant

OHHH! That makes sense about what the abbreviation stands for! Thank You... I guess I learn something new everyday! Anyway, hope to see you all around Hazzard! General Grant

Hello Jim! It is great that you found your way over here, and you are a writer, too! I hope you decide to stick around for a while!! Okay, I have a question now... what does CGLFC stand for?? (Sorry Y'all, I am no good at this abbreviated computer talk!!) Anyway, I hope you have fun here and enjoy yourself. General Grant

I third that! Happy Mother's Day to all you mom's out there! I hope you had a truly wonderful day, and a special time to spend with your family. Thank You to all of you... without all the wisdom and kindness all of you (moms) give, we'd be lost! Again, Happy Mother's Day General Grant

Hey Lori! That is great that you like horse racing! I guess in a way it is like car racing, or anyother type of racing, it does give one a rush. I agree with you in all but the first point you made. I think that the females can do just as good a job as the males. Sometimes speed and muscle isn't everything. Being smaller makes them better adapt to squeeze through that crowd, and they are probably able to run longer, even if they do go slower. I don't know, I'm no expert. Anyway, when is the Triple Crown and Kentucky Derby? I take it you are cheering for Big Brown? See ya at the races! General Grant

Hey Lori! Well, I personally wouldn't race my horse like that, but don't worry, I won't jump on your case!! What do you think about horse racing? To me, racing is fun, but I don't think that it should come with as high a price, if you know what I mean. I did hear about that horse that had to be put down, but I didn't know why or anything. Thank You for sharing. I take it you must like horse racing? Hope to see you around Hazzard General Grant

Welcome Back, Shannon! I'm glad that you decided to re-join us! This really is a great group of people! It is always so nice to see another Dukes fan, esspecially a returning fan!! Hope you enjoy your stay! General Grant

That is okay Lori, I don't mind waiting!! Anyway, thank you for sharing. I just love when I have those days when a brilliant idea pops into my head. Unfortunately, I don't have many days like that! I think that you could not have picked a better name for your character! General Grant

Hello All! Emy-Rae, correct me if I am wrong, but Emy-Rae is the name of your character that you made up, right? Anyway, why do you want to change your name? General Grant

Wow, 2 Lost Good Ole Boys, what a great story! I am so, so sorry to hear about the passing of your friends, I am sure that is very hard for you, but I think that the name is a really cool idea to remember them by. Thank you for sharing that, it was really cool to read about! General Grant

Hey Y'all! I have never seen the "Beginning" movie, but I did watch the first Dukes movie that came out in 2005. That was when I just started getting into the Dukes, and if I would have seen that movie before I even watched the series, it would have scarred me off! But, anyway, back on track... Like I said, I haven't seen the "Beginning" movie, but I have read the back of the box, and seen some pictures. From what I've seen I doubt that I will like it. Do these producers not understand that the Dukes is about the people, and has some moral value to it? I think it is safe to say that the true fans here watch the Dukes simply because it is a good time, the car chases are fun, and all of the characters have such great personalities and traits that we sometimes wish more people had, I don't think we watch it to see people parade around half naked and encourage morals even more horrible than I've seen in the world today, let alone without broadcasting it on national TV and tarnishing the Dukes legacy by associating that name with it. Do they really think that is what they call fun?? Not to be rude or demeaning to anyone here... but... are the producers/writers just so ignorant to the Dukes way that there is something they don't understand, or is it the money? We all know how Boss Hogg likes his fair share of money, but I don't think even he would stoop to such degrading behavior. Almost makes me think twice about telling people I'm a Dukes fan!! It is sad that you can say you are a Dukes fan to someone and they can get two totally different images! One can be of good ol' down to earth fun, great morals, respect, family values, etc... and the other is some foreign junk that I don't know how to explain! But it is GROSS! Maybe we'd all be happier if they named it something else, like the Kings of Grossville! Okay, I'm sorry y'all, I'll stop. I hope that I don't come off as rude, or blunt, or cutting any one down. I just get so annoyed when Hollywood keeps popping out more "Dukes junk" and expecting us to pay for (not to mention like) it. YUCK! Please, GADuke01, don't think that the Beginning movie captures the Duke mindset! I haven't seen the movie (and from what it sounds like I don't think I want to) but from the review you gave, the Dukes is on the opposite side of the scale! The Dukes is just a family of high moral character, integrity, and a group of good ol' country folk who know how to have a good time. Anyway, maybe in another couple years we'll be saying how much better this movie was than the next one... I hope not!! Well, I hope that someone in Hollywood takes the initiative to watch the ENTIRE Dukes series and make the logical move either one of two ways: Leave it alone or make a film to give justice to the Dukes name, way of life, and mindset. Maybe someday someone somewhere will stumble on that brilliant discovery... I hope! General Grant

Hey Y'all! Great question! I have never been to a Dukefest, so given the chance (even if the General wasn't there!) I'd go! I guess to me the Dukes is about the People, and Dukefest is about the fans celebrating a common bond they share, and that is their love for the Dukes series. So, to stop babbling on and just answer the question... Yes, I would go. General Grant

As Roger said, Thank You for serving our Country! That certainly deserves a big ol' round of applause! Again, thank you, and welcome! General Grant

Welcome... to Hazzard County! Y'all just sit back and enjoy the ride!! Seriously, though, I am so glad that you decided to join HazzardNet. We're all just a bunch of fun-loving, fast driving, Duke Fans!! Although sometimes it gets a little crazy around here (just like in Hazzard!!) it is a blast to be a part of! I always get excited when a newcomer joins, esspecially people who grew up watching the Dukes! I, too, am a small town person, so it was cool to hear about that. I hope that you enjoy the stay, and you'll be around for a good long while! General Grant
