I'm in Blairsville for the last 2.5 years... supposed to be "semi-retired" but mostly I'm just tired since I have 2 part time jobs that occasionally add up to too many hours in the week!
You may not get too many replies to this thread because a lot of people are trying to remain anonymous.

Southpaw,
I'm probably one of the least anonymous people you'll see on this board!
"taylor" is my last name, but most everyone knows me by my nickname - Scooter.
I only lived in Blairsville for a short time, but got to "know" many of the posters through the 'other' forum before coming to this one. I "knew" them before I even moved to Blairsville! Long story.
Since moving back to my home town of Brunswick, I try to stay in touch. Brunswick is right down on the coast. I'm about half-way between Savannah, GA and Jacksonville, FL. Yep, I'm a flat lander!
I am technically "unemployed" right now due to a bad shoulder, although I am a writer. I write a column for a regional, bi-monthly magazine called Going South Sportsman. I have also has several other articles published in both the magazine and other places. I am also looking for a publisher for a book I have written that is connected to the column I write. As for prior employment, I have worked in restaurants most of my life, and am a Nationally Certified Professional Food Manager. I have also worked as a pawn shop manager, a stone and tile setter, and as the lead sawyer for a wood mill.
I think "Redneck Woman" by Gretchen Wilson is my theme song!
I'm (barely! LOL!) 44 years old, married to a wonderful man, have a daughter 24, a son 22 and a son 20, stepdaughter 23, step daughter 22, and 2 step granddaughters aged 1 and 3. I also have a few "adopted" kids that call me "Mom".
Well, I think that about covers it!

Well, I am "retired" and the "old lady" of the group. I have lived in this area since 1984, first in Fannin county on the toccoa river and for the last 13 years in blairsville, on Coosa creek, hence my name!! I don't do housework, so I am not a domestic goddess like tulip. I use to be a bookkeeper and worked for a local savings and loan (it's a wonderful life, jimmy stewart movie). We did all our bookkeeping and figuring interest by hand. (no computers) That is one reason I never learned anything about computers. When we moved here from Florida in 1984, the only job I could find was as a waitress, so I did that for many years. Dispite my low income, my hobby has always been investing, stocks, mutual funds, etc. My husband is a licensed builder and has been for 25 years. He draws and designs all of his own house plans. I do all of his bookkeeping and pay about a million bills a year! (it seems) I am also mother to a very active 8year old , 6 pound sweetie, named Holly. My other hobby is chocolate fudge and you can tell that by looking at me!!

Yeah, we will soon have a bar here!! Maybe we can have it at Nat's house. She lives at the north end. Then when the police get called, we can hightail it over the state line!! I will park my fleet of fast cars out front for everyone to jump into!!

I'm gonna make Babe come down here for a vacation and taker her up to the Cafe' Risque' so she can get some ideas from the "nekkid" dancers there and take'em back up there! The Cafe' Risque is only 10, may 12 miles from where I live! Yep, it's a real restaurant and dancer place. No alcohol, full menu 24 hours a day.
