Sis went to her doctor because she had this rash on the inside of her legs that was driving her crazy. She could hardly walk to the mailbox. After a thorough examination, the nice doctor told her that she was too fat and her legs were rubbing together when she walked. He put her on a diet and wants her to lose 200 pounds.

Interesting Advice
Do you want to have a good day? Want to feel like a million dollars? Try this. While reading the Union Daily Times and the Pea Ridge News, get you a R.C. Cola and a moon pie. Do not alter from the menu. Do not substitute. You will feel good all day. Try it!
Anniversary
Cooter and Marie Knox celebrated their anniversary. Some say they went to Carowinds, took Emma Hope to the Cheesecake Factory.
A Reason To Quit
Do you still smoke? Please stop it. I read where second hand smoke (used smoke) killed 400,000 people last year. Let’s say that one half of that would have voted for me (President) that would be 200,000 more votes I would get.
Father’s Day
Don’t forget, June 17 is Father’s Day. Take Dad out for a nice meal, then some ice cream. No neckties please.
Kept Waiting Too Long
I love the folks at Spartanburg Regional Hospital. The doctors, nurses, the staff and all others are so nice. But there is absolutely no excuse to keep emergency room patients waiting all day and half the night for services. This is 2012, not 1812.
Another Anniversary
Evans and Jennie Crocker celebrated an Anniversary on May 15t. Evans took Jennie on a Pacific Ocean cruise at Buffalo Seafood Restaurant, then back to where do de Cooter crawl.
