New to the IL boards

yes, my e-mail was all jacked up and I just got my computer back yesterday and go to it. I had like 200 e-mails just waiting there for me. I cant remember if I e-mailed you back or not. I know I did ALOT of people from here. I'm sure they all think I'm a stuck up ***** for not responding for over 3 weeks. If I didnt, I'm sooo sorry. I have lived just at the top of the state and the bottom. No middle part for me. Although I have been up that way a few times..lol

You replied. I told you that my parents and my sisters are still down there. Parents and one sister is in Hurts and the other is in Johnston City.

yeahhhh, I remember now. You know a Tracy Steele from Herrin? She's a good friend of the family.

Welcome...I'm in the Western Suburbs (of Chicago), so I REALLY have no idea where your town is. This is a great site! You'll learn a whole bunch from this gang!

Well it looks like you already got the big wahoo welcome from everybody else.. so I'll add my voice to the din.. WELCOME!! Stef

Welcome Tina: I am also in the cornfields BUT with the River on one side. Beardstown People are often referred to as River Rats...Is that a cute otter or an UGLY Rat who knows...anyway welcome. HELLLOOOOO!!! Katie So sorry to hear of all your prayers to the porcelain throne...That bites. Take care and know that should stop soon or be less frequent... Ramona

We grew up duck hunting with my Dad in Beardstown when I was a kid! We're from Dunfermline...near Canton originally. Excellent memories there! Have a great weekend! Peggy

I'm new to the IL board too. I've looked at it a couple times but usually am on the main board, which I'm way too addicted to and let it monopolize so much of my time. I just came on here thinking maybe I'd spend less time if I "hung out" here instead of there! I've enjoyed seeing the posts from other mid- and southern IL members! I have family up in Morton (NW of Bloom/Normal on 74), so I pass the exit for Leroy all the time. Effingham is about 80 mi. s. of Champaign. I'll keep checking this board! Jo

Hey Jo I work along 70 ... Vandalia, Brownstown, St. Elmo so not too far from you! Welcome to you, too! Keep on comin' back! Cathy
