Have not heard that about the Elms. Did hear that Jeannie was taking a lesser role and her mom was running more things. But, even that is hearsay I can't confirm. Don't mean anything negative by it; that's just some public talk, like I say. I personally have not been there since maybe early May or even late April.

I did just read in the Journal that the Elm's and Rumors both got broke into last week.

Welcome back Tom.......

welcome back Tom I for 1 missed your banter!

Hi Tom,

  I'm really glad you are back!  I haven't been following all the stuff about the melon pit, etc., etc.  I always felt that neighborhood link was kind of a "family"...supportive, argumentative, funny.  You know what I mean? When there was so much conflict, I needed to take a break.  I have enough of that in my life. 

  I've always respected & appreciated your point of view & your posts.  Sometimes it's hard to take a stand for a person that you feel is your friend.  You did that.  Been there, done that!  Be yourself, cause a lot of us like the real you.  You are kind, supportive, loyal & a great friend to have.  I'm obviously not the only one that thinks this way, Mr. Tom. 

Are you gonna keep the Shackman name?  HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT NAME???    I don't want a lame answer.  If you have to, make up a great story.  If you need help, you know where Jeff is.  I'm sure he can help you entertain us!  After all, "LOL, evil-like"- I think you owe us.  tlou is ROTFL...  Do your best man!  C'MON ALL... story- story- story!    Nedl just "might" loan you his new judy.
