According to#16, I'm a Tennesseean too!
So how *do* you pronounce Maryville? I'm assuming it's not how it looks?
Oh lawdy, girl. You love the NRA? You're killing me here!
;-)
Lizzie girl- you pronounce Maryville like this MER-Vul...
At least you can say your circle of friends is diverse.. I know I have to be one of the few Republican friends you have...but hey, I love the Yankees so I can't be all bad!!
I love ya girl!!
Good thing you didn't deny #12. I think we all know you well enough to know it is so true.
Always funny BG, always funny!
