I think so too.
The new girl brings me chocolate. She's safe for a while.
until she starts pushing the Mary Kay on you.
Does she tell you her life story at bus stops too?
I refuse to drink the pink water.
We don't really have bus stops
Oh wow. Sundrop lives on Grandfather? Ever run into Charles Frazier? I was getting a book signed by him when he noticed my T shirt said Grandfather Mountain and he said that's where he lived.
He looks really familiar. I don't live on Grandfather Mountain, but am very close.
Well alrighty then. I double posted because the buttons aren't working right for some reason and then wanted to delete but no function for that so I sought to edit the second post only the edit button for it will not work so had to edit this one. ?Weird.

The receptionist's body is on Grandfather Mountain. Only the new receptionist knows where.
Wait wait. What? Now the second post which had my actual response is gone! What's going on? Okay I'm going to attempt the recreation of it. No telling what will happen this time so stand behind a barricade wearing protective clothing.
What I said was that the person in the pic is ME and not Charles Frazier who is older and balder and more gray and also way more brilliant as he wrote the novel "Cold Mountain". He lives there in the nearby town somewhere. I mentioned staying at the Pixie motel, which I would be surprised if it were still in business as it was in rather poor repair, but ate a wonderful breakfast with my wife at the restaurant just across from it (lovely place with a hunters lodge feel) and then bought her a ring at the next door Scottish store. I also mentioned Mildred the bear at the zoo atop Grandfather who is likely dead now as they only live some twenty years and she was old and fat then. I rather liked Mildred and I don't like many bears.
Anyway, a strange series of events in trying to post this.

There was this time a woman who lived across the street posted a sign in her yard threatening to shoot her next door neighbors’ entire family, all because her neighbors fixed a loose board in the fence they shared.
No wonder the guy in the photo looks so familiar......I've seen photos of you!!!
The Pixie motel was still in business about 5 years ago. I haven't been over that far in some time. Was the restaurant maybe the Tartan?
I remember feeding Mildred the bear marshmallows when I was a kid. She died many years ago, but some of her grandchildren are still there.
you double posted, I deleted the double post.
You think these double posts are like George Stark from The Dark half or a twin from The talisman/Black House?
I think Scratch might have been fixing one of the posts that was a double at the same time I deleted a double post.
I'm too quick on the draw! Sometimes.
That doesn’t necessarily answer my question but okay-dokay. Nothing wrong with being the fastest hand in the West.
I thought Scratch got confused by all the talk of the old receptionist being at Grandfather Mountain.
I figured that's what happened, Dana Jean. "It seems we were working at cross purposes". A cookie if you can tell me who said that.
And...
This is good to hear. I like that it's still around. Fond memories there. And YES that was the restaurant! Good food. Nice fireplace in the winter. I hate Mildred died but I knew it had to be. At least the blood lives on. This little town and the mountain was something the wife and I just stumbled on as we explored the Blue Ridge and I've always wanted to go back to do the trails while they were thawed. They won't let you when they are icy. You are so lucky to live there Sundrop!
Here is a shot of Mildred for old times sake-
