Free Ware


Look out freeware, I am talking about free stuff like email.
I guess we are all hooked on the web services, but us face it, we have been suckered into this internet with all its free stuff.
Like email, search engines, SMS, and all kinds of commercials.
I think the web will soon go premium, like HBO and encore and so on.
In my opinion, very soon now we will have to pay Google, us say a nickle for them to find us a good restaurant.
Yahoo might charge us 6 cents to get us a movie listing.
AOL, well I don't know what they are doing.
Yellow book, 11 cents for a phone number.
And it will cost us 47 cents to send an email.
You get my drift, these big companies have provided this free stuff about as long as they are going to and I for one will just have to pay it, simply because I cannot do without their services and here is the the one legged man ass kicker. They know it.
And you better believe it. It is coming.
That is progress and capitalization.
So us little people must get the plastic out and start paying for what we are taking for granted up till now.

Girl.



I'm the girl who will put her head on your shoulder, not because she's sleepy, but because she wants to be closer to you.
I'm the girl who likes to be kissed in the rain more than inside your bedroom or in an expensive restaurant.
I'm the girl who says,"Okay, but you owe me...", not because I actually want something, but because it means I get to spend more time with you.
I'm the girl you can take absolutely anywhere and I will have fun because it means I am spending time with you.
I'm the girl who is incredibly picky, but when I find someone I like I want to spend the whole night curled up in their arms.
I'm the girl who never forgets all the sweet little things you do for her.
I'm the girl who never gives up hope even when I tell others I have.
I'm the girl who once I let you into my heart, there's always a place there with your name on it. And even if we spend time apart, I'm the girl who never forgets you.
I'm the girl who loves to end a hug with a kiss.
I'm the girl who you can talk to about anything.
I'm the girl who will brag about you to all of my friends.
I'm the girl who will listen to you talk.
I'm the girl who loves it when you hug me for no apparent reason.
I'm the girl who loves it when you hug me from behind.
I'm the girl who loves you for you, and doesn't care what other people say about us.
I'm the girl who loves it when you introduce me to your friends as your girlfriend.
I'm the girl who loves the feeling when you take me by the hand without saying a word.
I'm the girl who loves it when you give me flowers for no apparent reason.
I'm the girl who thinks the world of you. All I want is for us to be together.
If your a girl repost this as " I am this girl"...

A ride on US441


Molly and I had a very pleasent ride on US441 today from Franklin NC to Sylva back through Webster and down to Clayton Ga before returning to the camp ground, The weather was outstanding about 75F clear and just a slight breeze. We eat some great home made ice cream at the Creamery. A hot dog at mountain man's and picked up some fresh peaches and musedines at a local flea market, Molly thinks it is time to bed down and watch some TV or just nap.
Yes I agree with that it has been quite a day.

Carolina Hemlock


Carolina Hemlock
I love to travel and camp, but us face it, that kind of lifestyle can be expensive these days. With a camper that only gets 9 miles per gallon, that doesn't leave much money for eating after one pays the campsite for staying there.
So I started to learn about volunteer camp hosting; you can Google it and learn more. I made a resume on my website and emailed it to many camp ground owners. To my surprise a lot of them were interested in me.
I thought I would give it a try when The Cradle of Forestry replied that they had an opening and after a brief interview on the phone I accepted the position at Carolina Hemlock in the Pisga National Park. It was a 900 mile trip for me but I made the most of it with a 5 day drive.
The campground was beautiful and the host was very glad to have me.
Day one was easy and all I did was set up for my stay. Day two, I opened the park at 7am then cleaned the bath rooms after that I raked and cleaned campsites. I was very busy and quite tried when I closed the gate at 10pm. Day 3, 4 and 5 was the same schedule. Tuesday and Wednesday were my days off. Then I found that the rest of my schedule looked just the same the rest of the time I was to be at the campground.
Day 4 on the job, I was called into the office by Sonja and told to keep Molly out of the cart and out of the area. Mistake, Molly is more to me than any job and besides that I made it very plain in my resume where Molly fit into my plans. After day 4 things went down hill.
I have always done most of the work because I owned my own businesses, but I could not stand a lazy person and that is just what the main host and the other host were LAZY. I was doing the work while they sat on their ass in the office and pretended to be busy.
I began to act like a leader and confronted them all, the bottom line is, after 4 weeks I left and left them with the little scam they are running. I went to the top of the chain of command and found the attitude there quite lacking. End of story.
There is an opening for a camp host at the Carolina Hemlock in Burnsville NC. You will be furnished with all the eminences and a fantastic area to be in, if you love nature. But you are going to work, and you are going to have to be just like your main host, an unfriendly, sour faced, backstabbing woman who hates animals and anyone who questions her ability to lead or unlead. It just don't work that way with me.

Toxaway Falls


Toxaway Falls NC located on US 64 in Jackson County North Carolina. I would call this area Martha's Vineyard of the South, simply because most of the residents are very rich and they are local folks. Very friendly and just down to earth hard working people.
