I hope you all had a glorious, joyful Easter, as did we.

ABOUT MY SON'S PLACE
It's a Mancino's Pizza & Grinders operation, but a chain, not a franchise. We are required to offer the standard items, but can add new items if we want. We also offer spaghetti and meatballs and fettucine alfredo. My son and his friend are owners. My wife and I, along with his parents, are financial backers, board members, etc. It is in Marion Indiana. We have been opened since November 1, 2006 and business is picking up as we get known. More later. I must prepare to give Uncle sam his due before the 15th.

That sounds like a great place, Jim!

I've never been one to turn down a chance to get in a hot tub... or pretty much water of any kind.

Howdy Miss Marianne, Miss Katie, John...

Hey, maybe one of you would know how to track this down. I'm looking for the story about the soldier who falls in love with the woman through letters and then goes to meet her in Grand Central Station... he's carrying a book and she has a rose etc.etc. Do you know where I can find the text of that? I can re-create it, but I'd rather have the real story. I've searched on TP and not found it. Any ideas?

I think this is the one you want, Lacey. Urban Legends Reference Pages: The Rose

The problem is that it is Snopes, and they will not allow you to copy it. You may print it - I imagine that is possible. Then you would have to copy it. It tells the origin of the story, as well as having it printed out. I'll see if there is any other way to find it.
