Subject: Wanna ask me sumthin? Anything? Ha Ha Ha!!

Written By: lorac61469 on 03/09/08 at 12:48 am

Heck, I tried this once and I had a couple of questions about PB&J sandwiches, so I never bothered again, but I'm feeling crazy and decided to try again...ask me anything, and I'll answer as truthfully as I can.  Ask me about Bristol Va, my kids, my hubby, my uncle or dad who make wigs for Broadway and TV...ask me what I cooked for dinner last night, whatever!!!!!!!  LOL!!!!    :) :D ;D :o

Okay, I have a few questions. Does Bristol have two different police forces? How does a divided town collect taxes?
Are there any houses or businesses that sit on the VA - TN border? Last but not least, why such a long absence, is
everything alright?

No where, right here in boring old Bristol.  :D

December and January were extremely crazy around here and I never had much time to get on the computer...then I sort of enjoyed not being on the computer for a while, but like most others who decide to take a break from here, I just couldn't stay away.

Man, I typed out a nice post and hit the wrong button...dang it! 

Bristol is really two different cities and the only thing they share is the name, everything else is separate.  Different police department, fire departments, government, even different sales tax.  So if I shop in Tn. I'll pay 8.25% sales tax and only 4.50% in Va.. 

We have our "famous" State Street, one side is Virginia and across the street is Tennessee.  It is possible to be in two states at one time by standing in the middle of the street.

Here is an old postcard...

Awww, thanks for asking.  Everything is fine, I just needed a break.  :)

Right now I am a stay-at-home-mom.  Before I had kids, I worked in banking for many years.

How are your kids doing? How was your vacation? :)


:)

My kids have been sick just about all winter...you name it, they've had it.  Megan even got strep while on vacation.  >:(

Our vacation was super (even though Megan got sick), if you ever got to Orlando stay at the Nick Hotel, it is perfect for kids.  They could have stayed in the pool all day instead of going to any parks.

You are so smart, my husband couldn't figure it out.  ;D

When I was a kid my friends and I decided that we were going to call ourselves by our backwards names, I was Lorac Enna.  I think I was the only one that had something that you could pronounce.  ;D

I grew up in New York and moved down here when I got got married.  My husband grew up in this area and we decided that this would be a great place to live.  I got married when I was 20, back in 1989 so I've been down here almost 19 years.  :o :o 

I've never heard of the Chesapeake House but I do have a Chesapeake Bay Retriever named Baxter.

Maybe this is a regional thing.  I was nonnahs and my friends were assilem and ynot!  Also, Lorac is that great brand of allergin-free make-up.

Anyhow, is everyone feeling better now?

I know you're a Rankin-Bass fan.  Have you seen the movie Mad Monster Party?  If so, are you as addicted to it as I am?

Must be!

The used to be a bridal/dress shop near us called Lorac's.

I've heard of it but I've never actually tried the make-up.  Does Sephora carry it?


I think we're finally getting better...*knock wood*

Maybe even more than double, since they keep adding seats.  I've noticed more traffic today, it'll be worse by Friday.
