Hold that thought, Please

We now pause for station identification........



You are reading Greg's General Store, a collection of funny stories, serious thoughts and earth shattering news that surround the life of me, Greg. Unfortunately I have to take a very short break this weekend but will return on Monday (maybe sooner) with a big bunch of photos to share with you all. (that's yall for my southern readers and youse guys for my northern readers)



I thank you all for reading and commenting on my blog and hope that you will continue. In the meantime, while I am gone, I will be taking suggestions and/or comments on ways to improve my blog. If there is something that you like or dislike, now is the time to tell me. Since I will be away, I won't be able to retaliate and you can get away with saying anything that you like. Please keep it kid friendly because my kids will be reading daily I am sure. I will also be reading your blogs as well as mine should I get the opportunity.



Oh and don't feel sorry for me not being able to blog. I will be down in sunny Florida basking beside the pool. That is when I am not dining at the Ritz or riding in that limo. :)

I see I still only have 23 comments on that last post. Let's see if we can correct that problem people before Chatty Kelly or Linda from 2nd cup of coffee tell me I am a failure. Kelly set the standard and of course Linda perfected it.





Be back soon and yall/youse guys have a great Weekend.



Greg

Hoosiers don't say "Yous." That's what Archie Bunker said, and I know you're old enough to remember Archie, so don't hand me that. But we do say "You guys" all the time.

Let's see, let's see ... improvements. Hmmmm. More references and links to me?? Fewer references to perfect weather?

I love reading your male perspective on stuff, although you did go on a little much about AI Bikini Girl, in my opinion. (I've got your back, Mrs. Greg.)

Just keep the posts coming regularly and stay upbeat. That's my two cents' worth.

Ooo...I like God's Girl's suggestion!! We need some Mrs. Greg! :)

And I'm going to have to agree with Becky on this one....23?!?! Are you kidding me? You ARE loved Mr. Greg...I, on the other hand, am not! ;) JUST kidding! I know I'm loved by a few at least. But I'm also smart enough to know that I'm not very interesting either. LOL!

Florida?? Sunshine?? again....are you KIDDING ME? blah blah blah blah blah!!! teehee....

I love your humor and your insight on life. Keep it up and I'll keep reading!

And btw, have you noticed I HAVE started commenting more since you started begging more. :)

I hope Orlando was sunnier than the panhandle. Very possible... FLorida is a big state!

I don't know if you have an ugly mug you'll be showing on Monday. If not, I am stumping for votes. : )

Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper

Image
Were havin fried chicken so crisp and hot, With tatters and gravy make sure and take a lot. There’s green beans and fatback and biscuits with butter, And cold cold milk, straight from the udder. And fer desert, get ya some pie, There’s sweet tater, apple and of course yer favorite shoo-fly. YUMMMM YUMMMMM Hee Haw was one of my father’s favorite shows. He loved it for the ummmmmmm music. Or so he said. This morning, I was thinking about what to have for supper. A couple of things came to mind. First there was some chicken in the refrigerator but I remembered Salmonella and decided not to fix that. I bought a beef roast yesterday but now I am having second thoughts because of possible Mad Cow Disease. I could always make a salad but we might get e-coli from the lettuce. Ok the only thing left is water but with all the mercury and arsenic in water these days, maybe I will just sit quietly and breathe. I just hope there isn’t a smog alert. Then I thought why not just go out for dinner. The...

Pictures from Wadmalaw Island. Martins Point plantation as it stands today. (site of "The Notebook") Bohicket Creek. Shrimp boat at Rockville. If you are coming here from the "Time" article, please feel free to look around. I didn't find out until today that they used a link to my blog. Welcome. Very quickly, My wife and I got married at this plantation. It is right around the corner from where we live now so if you have any questions about it, feel free to email me and ask. In a few days, I will post some more photos of the house. I wrote an interesting story about the plantation as my last post. Check it out by clicking here . Thanks to my son, Gregory for taking the pictures. He is making a power point presentation for Irving House Winery. You can see it if you come for a wine tasting.

The legend of Flat Stanley (A Horror Story)

Image
There are a few things in life that upset me: Spiders, rude people, unruly children and spilling my coffee to name a few. But nothing gets my blood boiling faster than hearing the name Flat Stanley. On the surface, Stanley sounds like something innocent, but I am here to tell you that he is evil and has the power to tear your family apart. Flat Stanley was the brain child Dale Hubert, a third grade teacher from Ontario Canada. Back in 1995, he decided to start this project to inflict pain on unsuspecting parents and students as well. The concept is simple: You take a picture of Flat Stanley and decorate it. Then you cut it out and there you have it….Flat Stanley. Then you send it to other people and they take stupid photos of them with Stanley or you take him on vacation with you in order to ruin your vacation and Dale should be shot or better yet put in a pot of boiling oil and slowly fried and tortured and and and Ha Ha….Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha….Whahahahahahahahaha Sorry this happens every ti...
