What a beautiful job you're doing on these spotlights, daisy! You just keep getting better and better! Beautifully done!

Gail, congratulations! That's an amazing profile! (That is the cutest picture, too - with the "Boss Hog" sign!)

Thank you for responding to your ping, our very newest pingee....I appreciate your kind and thoughtful words both to me and GailA.

Good morning to you, dansangel. Hope you enjoy your somewhat cooler day in the South..Thanks for starting off you day with us and a word to GailA, our very deserving FR's Finest Freeper of the Day....

Good morning FWI. I so enjoyed your day as One of FR's Finest yesterday. And you and GailA do share those Great Smokey Mtns. don't you. Thanks for the beautiful photo of said mountains....

[Billie]

Hey, there, you, The Beast! Don't believe we've seen you here before, so just wanted to say

LOL! What a thread that was! (Could it be material for a future Finest?) Hmmmmmmmmmmm!

Billy Bob moved to Chicago from Tennessee. One night in late November the weatherman announced there would be 5 to 7 inches of snow overnight and you should park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street.

Billy Bob said, "Jeez, snow," and dutifully moved his car.

A few nights later the news report said there would be 8 to 10 inches of snow and cars should be parked on the even-numbered side of the street.

"Jeez, more snow," Billy Bob said and moved his car.

A week and a half later Billy Bob and Mama were watching the 10 O'clock news during a new snowstorm and the reporter said there would be "18 inches of snow by morning and you should park your car....."
At which point the power went off. Billy Bob didn't know where to put the car so he asked Mama what she thought.

After a short hesitation and a long gulp of beer she said "Shucks, Billy Bob ... why not just take a chance and leave it in the garage this time."

LOL! Your calendar today - that little girl reminds me of me playing baseball - I'd swing the bat at anything! (No, I was NOT very good!)

[daisyscarlett]

Thank you for your nice post to GailA. So happy you got to "meet" the person you have been praying for....

[Mama_Bear]

Enjoy your day in the spotlight. :-)

[Billie]

Happy to see some new faces here - that's one of the neat things about spotlighting different FReepers - the crowd changes daily, even though many of them become new 'regulars'! Hope you'll add us to your list of "must see" threads!

Thanks so much for highlighting Gail.

...I thought you were going to tell the Chicago snowstorm story with the news readerette asking the weatherman "What happened to that eight inches you promised me last night?"

They almost had to shut down the broadcast on that one. ;-)

[Billie]

Good morning, Raven! Good to see you back again, cheering for Gail! Quite the activist she is, too!

Boston Harbor, a teapot tonight

To GailA, a daughter of liberty. Cheers for your Tennessee Tea Party!!!

[Billie]

Morning, ru! I think I know you! Think I like you, too. :)

[Billie]

Good morning! I read your very sweet posts in my self-search today on a couple of other threads! Thank you for promoting us! We'll call on you again next time we need a cheerleader!

[Billie]

Hi, d'sangel! Are we seeing you earlier today than usual?! :)Have a wonderful day!

[daisyscarlett]

I would love to hear some Grand Ole Opery music today (hint to Aquamarine). How about some Elvis music too, since you are not too far from Graceland..lol.

Well GailA, at last we got "published". You were one of the first FReepers recommended to us for highlight via FReepmail from one of your admirers in Tennessee. Since we (Billie,Mama_Bear and myself) all hail from West of the Mississippi, we had to do a bit of research. But how illuminating that research was. And thank you for your patience in answering, what I am sure you must have considered, my stupid and uninformed questions during the course of preparing your profile.

Wow, how amazing that the citizens of Tennessee (with a little help from you and the other 200 plus FReepers in your state) were able to stop the imposition of a State Income Tax.....
