Harry, I am very interested in gathering autographed copies of books from writing.com. I am interested in this offer and am willing to leave a review on Amazon, since I frequent it often.

Congrats!

Hi Harry! My husband and two kids (ages 11 & 9) tube every year on the Chattahoochee River near Helen, GA. We LOVE it! Your day sounded just like ours when we go. People are afraid of poisonous snakes in the river, and there are copperheads and moccasins farther downstream, but the water up in the mountains is too cold for them. I have seen non-poisonous ones sunning themselves on the rocks along the banks, not reassuring -- but never deters us from going again the next year.

Another Progressive Populist reader! I always like Jim Hightower.He's good at showing you how to follow the money. He's funny while still giving you the facts. Seems some of these other "funny" guys are more like Regressive Populists.

Wow...I'm impressed. Shame you can't grow it though.

Don't mind me. I just happened to wander in and couldn't resist commenting. I think children and young adults (such as myself) today may be aware of this tradition.I know I engaged in the pulling when I was younger during Thanksgiving up until I was about 10 or 11. Nowadays, the wishbone stays with the rest of the carcass so stock can be made. That reminds me. I really ought to make turkey stock today.

Wow...what a great memory. My mom always used to drive us crazy with the wish bones from chicken's and turkey's, saving them all and making a big deal over them. When we were much smaller we would fight over who got to pull the wish bone but in a family with four kids I guess my mom just decided she was the only one worthy to pull these bones apart. lol. On the other hand it was more than likely heading off a fight between all of us as to who would win the coveted wish piece. Like you, I can't remember when the last time was I actually have seen a wish bone? Makes me want to go out and buy a rotisserie chicken. Thanks for sharing that.

I am glad you had a fun trip visiting with the family. Though sometimes vacations take more out of us than being relaxing. Hopefully you won't find yourselves too far behind. I wish you a warm and relaxing weekend. Give the wife a hug and have fun.

That's great. Congratulations!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
