Hey Criket! We are from Greensboro, about 30 miles south of Tuscaloosa (Roll Tide)!
Saw you War Eagles too!
But the bananas have won.
Welcome to the bunch, Criket. You will find a wealth of info here.
As for getting burned out, that is the pits. We got burned out in 2004,
and still trying to recover. We have been slowly rebuilding ever since.
We refuse to get into further debt with the economy like it is. So we
are just taking our time.
Some things will never be replaced, but life must go on. Thanks be to God
that things are as well as they are!
