Dear Shellie,

I listen to your show in the mornings on my local radio WTYS. I just recently started getting your newsletter, I enjoy all of your little shows, and I love to go to your web site to try to do the word search however I cannot beat the clock. May God bless you!

Mildred in Marianna, FL

(Hello Mildred, He has, He does, and He will, amen? Thanks for writing in and giving me an excuse to remind folks of the Word Game back at the website. I swanee, it’s addictive, isn’t it? If you ever beat the thing, let me know. ~Hugs, Shellie)

Hi Shellie,

Thank you for the free ebook, “How to Raise Southern Ladies and Men of Honor in Today’s Culture.” I wish we could get it adopted into hospitals upon delivery of new baby and into schools for our young people. This would be a wonderful book to give to new parents or expectant mothers.

Kay, a Louisiana porcher

(Hello Kay, You’re most welcome, honey. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. You know, now that you mention schools, I wish I would’ve put something in there about telling your kids to pull their pants up! But hey,I’ve never said it was a comprehensive guide, just a few common sense suggestions for parents, which reminds me of an old line, “Horse sense is just the ability to say neigh once and a while. Take care, Kay. As for the rest of you kind folks, drop by the website and subscribe and you can get my free e-book, too! ~Hugs, Shellie)

Dear Shellie,

We recently bought a new Whirlpool washer and dryer and the lint filter on the drier is 18 inches long and made of screen wire, (not some mindless plastic). The filter was catching a lot of lint and I began searching for a better way to remove it instead of my fingers, which caused the lint to stick to my fingers, the floor or both. One day I was fiddling with the lint filter when I happened to look up on the shelf above the drier that contains a wondrous assortment of just about everything. Low and behold, there was a clean 2 inch paint brush. Needless to say I tried it and wow it removed the lint slicker'n snot on a doorknob. I thought I would share this bit of wisdom with all of you in hopes that it will make your day just a little better. God Bless and it truly is a beautiful day in God's neighborhood.

(Hello Kermit, Indeed it is. And on behalf of the other porchers, I'd like to thank you for the tip! Sometimes the little things can make life a whole lot easier. Hugs, Shellie)

Dear Shellie, since you started the potty training discussion on air, I just had to share this one. I started "training" my son today. So, he has "big boy" underwear on and starts screaming because he had just tinkled in them. I rush him to the potty explaining that he has to go to the potty, not in his underwear. He grunts and strains trying to make something come out (remember he had just gone in his underwear), then he looks at me and says, in his cute little 2 year old language, "It's no workin'!" Well, I thought it was funny! Maybe only a parent would think so!

Potty Training Mom in Colorado

(Dear Potty Training Mom, I thought it was great. Listen, I know it’s hard to get the tykes to figure out how to operate the on board plumbing, but I commend you for doing it before he’s old enough to drive like those kids in the diaper commercials. His first girl-friend will thank you for it. Wait-­did that scare you? Sorry, Mom. It’ll be here before you know it. ~Hugs, Shellie)

Hello Shellie,

I’m a new listener and this is just a quick note to tell you how much I love your down-home humor and your un-apologetic love of our Lord. You are, indeed, a breath of fresh air. Please continue to entertain us and remind us of what really matters in life.

Terry A. Fowler in Enoree, SC

(Hello Terry, Thank you for listening. You can rest assured that I’ll continue to do my dead level best to remind us all that the One that gave us life has the best plan on how to live it. Now you take care of things in South Carolina and invite all your friends to the porch. If they subscribe, they’ll get my special offer. And for the record, I’ll treat ‘em so many ways, they’re bound to like one of ‘em. ~Hugs, Shellie)

Hello Shellie,

I bring you greetings from Texas. As to your frog hair quote and it being split three ways, a gentleman I used to work with always said "finer than frog hair split nine different ways."

Karen in Texas

(Hello Karen, wow! I think we’ll let this be the definitive letter for the frog hair discussion. For any late-comers to the discussion that may not be from around here, as we say, frog hair is a scale upon which a southerner rates their present circumstances. Being fine as frog hair is a good start in the right direction, but when you go to splitting it, you are in high cotton indeed. But, then, that’s another saying, and another day. Y’all take care and tell your folks hi for me. ~Hugs, Shellie)
