Re: [at-l] Mail Sent in Care of Mountain Mama's

I personally couldn't care less for Mountain Momas. I spent good money
on her restaurant deep-fried food and grocery items and she still
had the gumption to ask for money to unroll my sleeping
bag on her lawn to crash out. We ended  up going down the road a few
yards and tenting by the river. Avoid spending $$ on her. Let her cigarettes 
and reminders of alcohol as a vice be a sign of her
niche.
