Surely you jest!?

by Diana Meade

Michelle Goff who was in charge of the message board and all online editions of the ANE has left for another position with a large local 'business'.
The message board is seldom renewed as are any of the items other than the basic news that is also in the paper. Whats the problem? Beats me but I know I have ceased doing any writing for them for just this reason.

I live in this area and will do some investigation, my mother would have been about 18 and maybe she remembers the accident.

as long as you had a Ford, you could go. But at the same time complaining about "bugs".....right? I personally wouldn't recommend a Dodge. We can't keep tires on ours. The Chevy.....had power and looks, but caught fire with only 7000 miles on it. Our last luck with Ford was much less than to be desired.

I want a Navigator.....maybe if we ever settle with GM, I'll get one and give hubby my Dodge! Fair trade, huh?

Big Man Suggestion

Why don't you just get rid of that Ford truck you have spent enough money on it that you could have gotten a new one from what you tell us.We drive Fords, Chevys, etc. even VW and like I said don't care how they look as long as they take me where I want to go. Hey Gerri that sounds like a great deal with you and your hubby when you get finished with those guys.

Female Ranger is in the hospital. She called the Dr. today because of cramps. They told her to come in.....they checed her, told her to walk around a couple hours, check in the hospital around 7 p.m. If she doesn't go into labor on her own tonight, they will induce it in the morning.
