I just wanted to say hello

"Hick" is probably one of the nicer things that Roxie has called Crtreedude...  8) 8) 8)

 :D :D

Hey - I have a button down shirt on in the picture and slacks. How in the world does that look like a Hick?

Okay, okay - I am originally from the Ozarks of Missouri. I suspect that makes me a hillbilly.  :

[crtreedude]

LumberJenny - you sure don't want to be a bee keeper down here - we have some really mean ones!

One thing that you might find interesting though, there is a native bee here that makes great honey, and it has no sting at all. That's the one I like. (but the agressive bees make more honey I have to admit)

Yeah, kinda figured you were putting on aires.  You can't hide it all though.  Especially when you make comments like  "Fixing to move to......".  :D

My syntax gets pretty mixed up at times - you see, I have been married to an editor for 25+ years - from the North. So, I can write pretty well after have a personal tutor for 25+ years.  :

When we first met - I told her that my English wasn't that bad. I bet her a dollar for every mistake I made - I lost 13 dollars in about 10 minutes.

It was either stop the bet, or stop talking.

It was either stop the bet, or stop talking. 

Oh,  Fred,  don't keep us in suspense,  which did you do? :D :D :Dcough,sputter, WUTBRFTT,  choke :D :D

[crtreedude]

Bro. Noble - wouldn't have been easier just to stop talking? I mean, I could have saved myself lots and lots of problems...  :

Welcome LJ from a Wisconsin countryboy--a hick at heart.

We just started  a hive this year .  Cousin bought some bees out of the south . one of the hives had nasty bees . He could not get close to the hive. So he snuffed em.   Welcome to the board
