While we should listen to our "fight or flight" feelings --we should be careful of judging too quickly.(2 cents worth). ann d.


Guess I need to cut my hair, shave my beard, and remove those pesky tattoos. Was not aware my looks embody that of a "druggie"

Richard-Please forgive my panic and pre-judgment. Where I work the EMT's are "pressed and dressed"( and I don"t know what they look like week-ends.) I was sooo glad to have you there. I try not to judge the book by its cover but hey-I have a lot of faults. After attending SD(Sturgis) motorcycle rally & having met many great people there , I should know better. Hope we can meet under better circumstances.(My reference to SD is because my husband has gone every yr. for 14 yrs. This yr is too hot) Again forgive m. ann d

I am a local at Rockport (even though I live in Searcy) and even though I might not get down there more than a couple of times per month in the summer.


Am I wrong in saying that that park wouldn't have been built if it weren't for uuugh :hammer: yakkers and :clap: :clap: :clap: open boaters?

Ahh, what am i whining about, I like sharing the park with non boaters and I've never had a problem, even from the rougher lookin folks. But I do remember quite some time ago that some kind of fight broke out down there one night. I don't remember if it involved the boaters that were there or not. Just remember Renee telling the story about a fight after dark.

Richard, it couldn't have been you. I happen to know you can't grow a beard yet. But someday, with hormone therapy and puberty, you might get 5 o clock shadow. We haven't ruled it out entirely.
We should shave your head too, and I'll loan you a tie. We'll get you respectable yet. :poke:

National Average of Violent Crime: 4
National Average of Property Crime:4

Malvern Violent Crime: 4
Malvern Property Crime: 4

Little Rock Violent Crime: 9

there are over 30,000 incorporated cities in the US. Little Rock is in the top 20 of the most dangerous and has its own popular video called banging in LR.

But s**t happens, so pack some heat and stay friendly amigos. Scream if you need some help, Im just a few houses down the road and I will come help ya out.

Thanks Wildwood, it feels good to be missed.

Dangerboy, when you see something like below it's time to feel unsafe. Otherwise, it's just time for a little meeting :wink:
