Gas Availability

[Lady D]

I am from Tennessee and I'm very nice, almost always wear shoes, and have all of my teeth.

Suncat, I am from Knoxville myself. My elderly parents are here in Memphis and that is why I moved here back in 1983. Not my favorite place to live but everyone has to live somewhere, right? One complaint I have, never much snow, it is either just north or just south of us! Have heard good things about the aquarium there. Memphis really has nothing to offer tourism wise except Graceland. And maybe Beale St for blues if you are into that kind of thing. Haven't been East Tennessee way since around 1984. And that was for a visit to Knoxville and some friends. I miss it up there in Knoxville. Go Vols Saturday.

The point I was trying to make is not that tourists actually pay the taxes but by contributing 60 BILLION DOLLARS to your economy enables you to pay LESS taxes!!! By the way, this is Mister Ladydebubba60 speaking and I am fuming over the gouging that is going on by Exxon, etc.,etc., etc.,etc.

Understood. However, you are not going to apologize for your blanket statement calling me lazy and incompetent? Shame on you.:nono1:

Smiling Joe, I want you to keep on smiling. I will apologize for my husband. I have never put anything out of line on here and didn't like it when he did. He is more opinionated than I am. EZ talked like we are not welcome nor wanted there. We are coming in tomorrow and do love coming there.

Dang! I thought we had a crossdresser on here. Now, where is that tangent thread?

You mean, can't we just ignore one another? I get along with many people, but I take offense to someone calling me lazy and incompetent. I hear an apology coming from Ms. ladybubba, but she says her husband typed that post. The apology from Ms ladybubba is acknowledged, but the apology is meaningless to me unless it is sincerely stated from the offender, mr ladybubba. I will be happy to ignore mr ladybubba, but get along with him, I certainly do not have to do.

I'm guessing the post from Mrs. Lady was a PM to SJ (?). I also received a nice PM from the Mrs. Lady. Friends don't let friends post ugliness using their account! I enjoy reading other opinions on this board...it's good to hear what others are thinking, but attacks on people here are not welcome. In fact, I have never blocked anyone here...but this might just be the time.

Hey, SJ, if "lazy and incompetent" describes you and the many other locals who go around for days after storms (we've had two so far this summer) taking photos of people's homes (including the places where vacationers plan to stay) at their request so that they can have some information quickly (and giving information about beach accesses and other concerns), then you've all sure set a very high bar for being "lazy and incompetent"! After Ivan, there were plenty of locals around offering free food, services, and good will to all the workers who got things up and running quickly along 30A -- and they took very good care of the tourists who came back quickly after Ivan to help support the economy, too.

I'm not a local (yet, perhaps in about 8 years), nor am I a tourist since we own property there and visit regularly. But I am most appreciative of what both tourists and locals bring to this beautiful area... most appreciative.

Thanks Paula.
