I was amazed to read that the Georgia Bar Association ... held their annual meeting at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I cannot believe these lawyers did not hold it in their own state ... and give their own state the revenue from the meeting.

On last Sunday ... I went to a local restaurant and enjoyed a fine meal. ... When I finished the meal, I was ready to pay for my ... bill ... and they say the family next ... the next table to me ... paid for it for me. ... I want to say thank you very much. You do not ha ... find kind people like that anymore. ... But I wish you had told me so I could've sent you a ... thank you card. ... So, I hope you read Soundoff. Thank you, thank you.
