    Welcome from Hoosier State between I-64 and the Ohio River.
    Oddball
    Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
    Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
    Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
    From Kelly's Heroes (1970)


    Are you sure you're not hurt ?
    No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
    Broke parts take a little longer, though.
    From Electric Horseman (1979)

    Welcome from SW Mich. Is it true the actual pronounciation is "bah hahbah"?
    People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor

    Hello from Houston!

    I was in your lovely neck of the woods in late June. Beautiful!! Coming back to Houston after that trip was hard.

    Welcome from the Florida panhandle (where another nice t-storm is hitting).
    A nuisance may be merely a right thing in the wrong place — like a pig in the parlor instead of the barnyard.

    Welcome, LP!

    I love Bar Harbor -- any economic development positions open up, let me know, ok?

    Welcome to the forums... but...
    Moderator note:

    I'm sorry to say that you are suspended for 24 hours for using a leeched image in your signature line (which I deleted now). Please read the board rules, including the rule prohibiting image leeching.


    Hopefully you'll come back in a day and participate some more.

    Don't let the suspension scare you away, it happens. Some of the most dominant members have been suspended for leeching.

    Welcome to Cyburbia, from a Bear in NW Ohio that would prefer to be up north somewhere. Living in Bar Harbor (you guys say it so cool.....Baaa Hawba).....you probably hear a lot of visitors saying, "So beautiful. This rocky coastline is just like northern Minnesota."



    Welcome.
