Hey Ladies.....I've been sitting here trying to think of something to chat about. Boy is my life boring.

I love playing on my puter, so I guess I could ask ya'll where you play games. I mostly play on Pogo..trying to win some money..lol

I love shopping, watching NASCAR, gardening, animals and traveling in the Good ol USA..to name a few things.

I will be checking back frequently ...

I love to play on my "puter" too. I like solitaire, checkers, minesweeper, pinball, and rubic's cube. Also love to just "surf the net".

I like hiking, fishing, reading, animals, looking at antiques, baseball, chocolate, sunrises and sunsets, and chatting with my friends!

[tinkywinky]

I like "Chuzzle"! My daughter & I play together. Can't wait for Spring so I can go fishing!!!

Well, everytime I get the opportunity to post everyone is offline busy.

Here's a little info about me:

I have a 40 hour a week job.
My 2nd shift job is helping my husband with our 4 bee yards and honeybees. Dosen't pay as much as the other job.
I like to crochet and sell and donate items I make to charity. At Chrisimas I donated 17 hats to the homeless babies at Grady hospital.
I make homemade soap also to sell and donate. I now have to special order the lye because the meth heads want to smoke it and I can't get it at the store anymore.

Decorative painting on glass, I have some of my work at Rountree's Country Pine Furniture. I use a paint called gallery glass that looks like stained glass when it dries.

I like doing online jigsaw puzzles.

I also do web pages and computer repair.

I love working in my flower beds and look forward to Spring.

I like to read.

I am sure more will come to me after I post this.

Anyone else care to share??

Honeybee, you sound like a very busy woman!

When you work the bees, do you wear the tradition white suit, mask and gloves? We used to have several hives. I didn't go near them...lol....My hubby took care of them. Gosh what a mess he made when he harvested the honey. Do you have a honey extractor? We didn't.

A little about myself: I'm now a stay at home, retired, over the hill Mother of 2 grown boys. I have 3 grandchildren and 3 step-grandchildren. One son lives here in Blairsville, and the one with children lives in Jax. FL. He has been in the Navy for 17 years.

I have 1 sister that lives in Eastman GA. I spend most of my time cleaning up after my babies, my Boston Terriers. I used to do a lot of yard work, and had a beautiful yard. Age and a bad back have almost put a stop to that though.

We have been in Blairsville for almost 20 years. When my kids were small we would come to the mountains and camp, mostly at Vogel St. Park. I remember how we would all hate to leave when the week was over. It was always my dream to live up here one day. I have never regreted moving here. Things are not perfect here, but whenever I go back to South/Middle GA for a visit, I see just how good we have it here. Can't wait to see those hills come into view again!

Last year I had a pen full of laying hens and rabbits. I would let the hens out every day to find the goodies that they love. In the evening, all I had to do was open the door and in they would go. But, alas, Bostons and chickens don't mix...lol...I sold all of the hens and gave all the rabbits away to a friend. Did I say how quickly the rabbits multiply? I kept 1 male rabbit, and 4 really OLD hens. I only have 1 hen left now and I figure in human years she would be 120 years old . I miss hearing the rooster crowing, and watching the mother hens with their new babies, but as I said dog + chickens don't mix.

OMG! you have kin in Eastman, GeorgIa? All of mine are from Dodge County. My daddy lives in Gresston and everybody else lives in Rhine.

Yes, when I worK the bees I look like a hazmat team going in. My husband doesn't wear anything but a white long sleeve shirt, pants or shorts and shoes.

We have an extractor and a honey house where we uncap, extract and bottle.

I have chickens I got as biddies from Holland's feed store and one of the hens had babies.

I had rabbits and got rid of all but 3, that I dearly love. IN SEPARATE CAGES.

Small World! I lived in Eastman from '70 to 1981. I am originally from Fitzgerald, with lots of years in Atlanta. My then hubby transfered to Eastman with Atlanta/Ga. natural Gas. He died in 79 and I remarried a man from Hawkinsville in 81. My older sister and her daughter live there. I like Eastman, but it is just to HOT down there.

The one rabbit that i still have is an Angora (i think thats the name) he all black with long hair. Looks almost like a big Persian cat. If you ever want to mate any of yours, BunBun would really like that! lol

[honeybee]

I also do some drop spinning and Angora rabbits have the best fur for spinning, you can just pluck it out as they sit beside you.

My only girl rabbit is a Lion's Head and she is small. She only had 1 successful baby from 3 small litters, so I don't breed her anymore. She has too much trouble giving birth. It was born solid white and a big fuzz ball.

I know what you mean about being hot down there. My daddy would like for us to move and I told him no way it's too hot and the mosquito's are as big as hummingbirds. When we go down for Thanksgiving everyone is wrapped up and we are wearing shorts, they think we are nuts.

My uncle just retired from the Delco battery Plant (whatever it is now) in Fitzgerald.

All of my kin are Hilliard's, you have probably seen their picture in the post office. My aunt is a postmaster and I kid her by saying she only works there to keep our pictures off the wanted board.

[bella]

In which town is your Aunt a postmaster?

Have you ever been to Fitzgerald?

[honeybee]

She started out in Fitzgerald, then the post office at Eastman and now she is in Abbeville.

She has only been at it for about 5 years.

I only went to Fitzgerald one time, briefly.

Were you there when the guy won the lottery. She was working as postmaster then and she said they would get mail labeled The Lottery Winner, Fitzgerald, Ga. SHe said it was crazy.
