I am glad I found this group
Rheachd...@gmail.com
and I have come across quite a few different groups dedicated to the
topic. However, this group contains better information than I've found
anywhere else. I also found another resource that I think would
benefit anyone reading the information here. Check it out at:http://
prjectx.info/wedding3/. Hope you find it as interesting as I did.

I may be wrong (and I surely do apologize if I am), but I think the OP was
posting SPAM. I think they were just more creative in the wording ...
In another group I lurk in, one poster posted SPAM in verse ... if it hadn't
have been so entertainin' it would have been irritating! :)

That is what I was thinking Connie. Very clever.
Seen this too many times.

As a matter fact most people make it a point not to do business with
spammers at all. Perhaps that's why reputable companies don't post
spam messages to news groups.

Well, you've got to hand it to them ... they sure are gettin' creative with
their methods.
What's next? A regular posting SPAM for handbags from China?? Or how YOU TOO
can make LOTS of money from home? LOL!!
Yeesh.

a site. I thought she was simply attempting to plan a wedding. There's
quite a lot of scamming going on locally, apparently the local post offices
and banks are getting heaps of checks from people who are cashing (and
forwarding 10%) bogus checks. Polly

Well, the site she sent us to is written much with the same vernacular and
style that the poster used ... so I am just assuming.
But then, I tend to be suspicious 'bout stuff like that. While I believe in
real life that the average person is good, honest, and kind, I suspend that
online (for the most part) ... unless it's ya'll. :)

know. You may have heard that a young woman in Minnesota was killed when
she answered an ad in craigslist.com. Of course, craigslist is probably
no more dangerous than classified print ads. But one must be alert.

OMG, I JUST heard about that (been workin' and not listenin' to the news for
a while) ... simply unbelieveable. And he did it because he thought it would
be "FUNNY??!!" Where the heck was this kid's parents??? I seem to remember
that he was high school age? Wasn't he?? :(
But yep, you NEVER know who you're talkin' to ... or who's listenin'. Really
sobering thought. My DD keeps buggin' me for a "MySpace" page ... and the
above is one of the MANY reasons I keep sayin' "no." :(

Hmm ...between Miz Polly and the gators, I'd worry more 'bout the gators!
(BTW, that's a compliment, not an insult!)

Aww ... gators aren't so bad ('specially lightly battered and fried).
Now, that's because I've been told for ages that they really won't chase you
on land (too slow? too lazy?).They even tried to get a gator to chase'em on
"Mythbuster" - and not a single one bothered itself to move an inch. It's in
the water itself that you have to worry.
'Bout two years ago, we had a pesky gator that came ashore on the beach
(believe it or not!) and he haunted a few tourist traps for 'bout a month,
scarin' the bejeesus out of everyone, making the local papers, and just
causing a horrible nuisance .... and then just "disappeared" (he was awfully
tasty with a bit of Crystal's). ;)
I see Miz Polly as bein' smarter and cleverer than an ol' gator. If she
decided that they were a problem, I'd see her as bein' more threat to them
than they to her. I could see Miz Polly convincin' them that they ought to
take a vacation to the Mojave desert if'n she put her mind to it! :)

Yeesh, that reminds me ... about 6 years ago, my sweet Buddy (part Black
Lab, part chicken), the same dog who's terrified of plastic bags and eraser
tips on pencils (no joke) actually treed a WATER MOCASSIN under a car. Those
b*****ds are the deadliest critter we have! My goofy booger was actually
trying to PLAY with the durn thing. It took all my strength (he weighs about
80lbs) to pull that goober away from the snake! <:(
And only a month ago did I find (and step on - euug) a spider about the size
of my big toe in the garage. The durn thing went "squoosh" right under my
instep and that area on my foot burned for DAYS. I still can't go into the
garage without my foot stingin'. And how did hubby decorate our porch for
Halloweenie this year? Our entire front porch is a giant spiderweb, of
course. He's trying to kill me, I know.
Next to that damned spider, a gator, in my mind, tain't nothin'.

has been looking for for years. They sorely need somebody to come inventory
those harmless lazy gators out there. We could check on salary and benefits
for you. I don't think they've ever needed a retirement plan. Polly

Are you kiddin' me? Even *I* can't eat THAT much gator meat!
But I sure would love tryin' ... kind of feels ... neat ... to eat a
predator and give those poor cows, pigs and lambs a break! ;)
But really, we've got enough gators here in FL ... we went to hubby's home
stompin' grounds about a year ago (near the Glades) ... and I was shocked at
how many we came across on the beaten paths.
Maybe ya'lls are meaner, though ... ours are damned lazy and slow. If I had
a nickel for every time that I had to sit and wait for one to cross a road,
I'd own my own fabric company!!
Or maybe ours are ya'lls on vacation - maybe instead of bein' lazy they're
too busy looking for girl and drinking $5 beer. : /
