Does he love Alabama now? No, it's just a job. He does love to win. Maybe that's enough. Will he ever love Bama? Who knows? I would hope that if he stays long enough, the Crimson Tide tradition will be absorbed into his very being, and he will love the Tide. After having Coach Bryant...

For quite a few years this board has sponsored a needy family for Christmas. This year, there doesn't seem to be one. I'm glad, especially since I don't have to be in charge of begging for donations, etc., but sad because that was an activity that set us apart as a sports board. This note...

I haven't been on this board for ages, and when I decided to look at Bookends, I was surprised to see a relatively new post by Ratatosk bringing this thread back to the top. I had intended to reread ACFL, but didn't. Now I am going to. Folks out in Internet land, if you want to read a...

It's the only game that I still cry about! We were talking about it last night, and I, as usual, teared up. About ten years ago I was listening to NPR one day. They were interviewing Father Hessburg, who was the president of ND. The interviewer commented that FH was quite a football fan, and...

You guys read our minds. Laura and I had been discussing asking Brett to keep the PayPal account open all year. You never know when the need might arise, and it's not always at Christmas. If memory serves, we first heard about the Bacchus family after Christmas. Iris discovered that she had...

Well, you all have read mine and Laura's minds! We too thought of leaving the fund up all year, and then when Christmas comes, or when something else comes up, we have funds available. Laura is going to check with Brett about doing it this way. If you remember, we heard about the Bacchuses...

OK, this is me, LTBF, the mom. Laura and I are just totally overwhelmed by the generosity of the people on this board. We are sending on $200 to Goodfellows, the Birmingham Post Herald charity which has been running for years, but which has been overshadowed by Toys for Tots and other groups...

Hey Chris e-mail me and I'll give you my # to call me in Nashville next week we are at the Wyndham Union Station.

Its not, I love how great everyone has been, but now we know what we are capable of doing, and if we don't raise that much in the future I don't want people to be disappointed.

Hey guys its lnadell I'm at my moms, pushing a $1000.oo we ended up with $1160.00 how awesome is that! We had plenty to get anyhting we needed for Fred and Cedrick, plus a few things for the mom, and we are donating $200.00 to Good Fellas an organization like Toys for Tots that gets a lot less...

Hey guys its lnadell, I'm at my moms so for now I'm using her user name. I met with Brett this morning and received a chack for $932.00, plus I received a checks totalling $230.00 myself so I was in awe of how great you all are we raised $1160.00 this year which is just more then I ever...

A nice contribution to the Christmas fund came to my house today, addressed to Laura. She will be here on Wednesday. Thanks, Earl. ROLL TIDE FOREVER!

GUESS WHAT!!!!!! The computer came today! I was given no guarantee that we would get it before Christmas, and then I got a notice that it would be shipped on Dec. 23. The lady I dealt with promised me that she would make every effort to get it out in time for Christmas, and she surely...

OKAY......I order the computer this morning. I got a shipping date of December 23, which is REALLY pushing it, so they may get a box with an IOU on Christmas day, and the computer the next day or so. I upgraded the computer by $50, which means it includes two printer cartridges and a printer...

Today I found an ad for a Dell Computer for $399. It includes all the basics, obviously, as well as a color printer and 6 months of AOL. Does this sound like a good deal? By ordering online, I can get free shipping. Let me know if this sounds good. If there is something better out there...
