Raising children
All of the postings about child-rearing warmed my heart. Now we know why the offspring of Mayberry fans are terrific! I don't have any of my own, but I too subscribe to the theory of an occasional paddling when other avenues fail. I see so much negative behaviour in public that when I encounter a well-behaved family, I take the time to compliment them and have even picked up their dinner tab now and then. I feel we must reward positive examples. This is just one more reason I am so proud to be a Mayberrian!

A Mayberry Christmas Poem
I know it is early, but I thought I would beat the rush and help get you all in the holiday spirit by writing my annual Mayberry Christmas Poem a bit early. There are so many things to say it was difficult to keep it short. Christmas Time in Mayberry It's Christmas time in Mayberry And the town is all aglow. Sounds of laugher fill the air, While children dream of snow. The stores are all decorated With wreaths and trees alight. Candles light up the windows As each day turns to night. Aunt Bee is baking cookies With sweetness in the air. Ben Weaver's store is busy Selling gifts for all to share. Fireplaces are burning With logs of pine and birch. The Sunday School program is ready At All Soul's Community Church. Emma Watson's at the drugstore Buying her cotton balls. Opie and his friends are busy Decorating the classroom walls. Otis is restocking his moonshine And he seems all ready to go. While Barney is secretly rehearsing. His merry "Ho Ho Ho". The carolers are sharing their cheer As they sing up and down the street. They're invited in out of the cold. To have cocoa and cookies so sweet. It's Christmas time in Mayberry The day of the Christ child's birth. When love, joy, and peace Are spread throughout the earth. Oh Little Town of Bethlehem Is a joyous Christmas song. While the little town of Mayberry Remains in our hearts so long. Kenneth G.

RE: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 6, Issue 342
Val... i know the episode well adn it being a different place and time and culture there is a lot of differences... as the wife of an now grown abused child and a foster/adopt mother any physical discipline is an absoulute no no. i like the phrase in Little Women that states "to hit and humiliate a child, is to teach them to hit and humiliate". I find that most of the abused children i see are abused because they're parents were abused/spanked as children. So naturally when a child is hit becasue his parents didnt like what he did, he learns to hit when someone does something he doesnt like. Its a generational thing... luckily my husband and his siblings have broken that trail of abuse... unfortunatly for thosands of other families it has not ended, and in some cases gotten worse. What realy ticks me off is the "spare the rod spoil the child" attidude.. which btw is NOT in the Bible, it says something about disciplining your kids but not physically abusing them. Now to all those who think there is a difference between discipline and abuse... i guess that depends on the family. But in my state if you leave a mark, its abuse (in my eyes any physical discipline is abuse). There are millions of better ways to discipline children without hitting them. I'm not saying "spankers" deserve to have thier kids taken away.. i'm saying they need to learn other alternatives. most parents have the best of intentions.. but this is how i see it and is my opinion... also do you want your kids to do what you say out of love and respect or fear? if you dont want them to fear you then dont hit them, that only causes fear and resentment in the end. As for the spoiled kid prevention would have been teh best route but sense it was "to late" the best way to handle it was to make him give away what he treasured and start earning things back with good behavioru... studies show positive reinforcement is much more effective than physical punishment. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Mayberry prices
Laura Lee, read no further. I don't want to hurt her feelings as I went to the dollar store today at lunch time. She might feel neglected that I bypassed the Dime Store. I found a TAGS dvd for fifty cents. I splurged and treated myself to one as well as a Dick VanDyke Show dvd. For a dollar, I'm getting to see Aunt Bee's Medicine Man, Andy Discovers America, Andy's English Valet, The night the roof fell in, Give me your walls and Man's teeth. There's even TAGS/DVDS crossovers in that the painter in the DVDS Give me your walls episode is the guy who portrayed a gypsy on TAGS, and Malcolm Merriweather was in two DVD show episodes.

Missing digest
Hey, folks, for some reason I didn't receive digest #343. I got #342 and #344 but missed the one in between (that was the one that apparently had my post about spanking in it).

Catch Phrases

Definitely "Nip it", "Hi Doll", "You got time to breathe, you got time for music", It's me. it's me, it's Ernest T". I'm sure there are a few more. Loren Loren, not a bad idea. I'm sure its been done before but not for a while. May I politely suggest though that you are mixing "favorite quotes" with "catch phrases". I believe that a catch phrase has to be spoken more that oncewhile a favorite quote such as "You got time to breathe, you got time for music" is just spoken once. "Ain't you got a jack" is another favorite quote. And while I'm being picky it's "Hello Doll" not Hi Doll (a common mistake) So here are some more in the spirit of your "catch phrase" request. "You beat everything you know that" "You're a bird in this world" "He's a nut" "Shazam" "heartaches, nothing but heartaches" "Yo" "citizen's arrest! Citizen's arrest!"

Coats and ties
There has always been things on the show that people did not do or say in North Carolina.The thing that I never understood was Opie always wearing a coat and tie when they went somewhere.I didn't know any kid who dressed this way in eastern NC.I was 4 yrs. old when the show started ,so we were of similar ages.The only time we wore ties was to church.The older adults always wore them,but the middle age men did not wear them when the went visiting,or for a car ride.Maybe it's trivial ,but that wasn't the North Carolina Maybe someone can explain to me or were we different in the eastern part.

Catch Phrases
I don't mean to be a stickler for details but a Catch Phrase would be one that is used multiple times in the series. There were a lot of great quotes on TAGS, we could probably come up with a list of 500 - 1000. I don't think there were too many phrases used over and over though. Not sure of the reason, maybe they didn't want things to get stale. I can think of a couple, "Shazam!,You beat everything, you know that?..and of course "Nip-It!!! Nip-It in the bud!!' Let's hear any other Catch Phrases you folks can come up with. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

What is a Rod?
Dear People of Mayberry and especially Thelma Lou, First, let's clear up a little mistake in my last post. Of course, it was the taxidermist who sewed up Hogette's head; it was Ernest T. who hit her. Glad that's off my chest. I also love it when we can turn a frustrating situation into a Mayberry moment. That is truly the Mayberry spirit at work. Thelma Lou wrote an excellent piece on spanking and she made many wonderful points. I know we are not suppose to talk "Bible" here, but if I may, just this once, make one little point. People often quote, "Spare the rod, spoil the child." But the rod in Scriptures refers to discipline, not an actual stick. Remember Psalm 23? "Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me." This is referring to a shepherd gently guiding his flock and keeping them safe; not beating them over the head with his stick. He keeps the wolves away and guides his sheep. Personally, I do not know how anyone can raise children without ever giving them a smack on the behind, at least once in a while. I have three and, as sweet as they are, they are not that good. But if you are shouting more than you are hugging and laughing with your child, something is wrong. And no amount of trips to the woodshed is going to fix that.

Opie and the Spoiled Kid (Spank You Very Much).
I'm sure Simon Winkler (Harlan Warde) exercised a little discretion in his use of discipline by that old-fashioned wood shed out back. He portrayed well respected professionals like doctors, judges, police officers, and detectives during his acting career. He even played a coroner on 'Mannix' in 1968 before it was hip to play one.

At approximately 3pm, we do a Mayberry trivia question and the winner receives a CD of their choice from our collection (which includes the VW boys doing "Whatever Happened to Mayberry"). We've kept the questions simple for these folks up here, but we've received exceptional participation.
