One of the lines that Melinda uttered in a film she was in (from back in 1975) went, "That's Dr. Pepper country down there." This was regarding a character who was on his way down to Waco, Texas--a city that Melinda passed through both coming to and going away from Austin. So the stop in Waco, and the sampling of Dr. Pepper, were poignant moments--thirty-one years in the making!

Hope I'm not giving too many of Melinda's secrets away.

Why, yes, Kelda, many thanks indeed for the (somewhat premature) congratulations. After this little reply, I'll be only two posts away from joining that exclusive club! I've been working hard for this moment since April 5th--let me thank my mom, my dad, without whom I wouldn't be here, my 6th-grade English teacher, who taught me so much, and...

None so far.

Is there anyone here who lives in Belfast? Or Ireland in general?

None that I've heard of, belfastgirl, but that could change any time.  Meanwhile, welcome to BetterMost!  8)

There's quite a few British members here, but they live in either England or Scotland. I don't think we have any member from Northern Ireland.

Maybe we should try to recruit some!  :D

I'm so happy to see you posting here!! Welcome to Bettermost!

One of my best friends lives in Glasgow. I visited him two years ago. I really liked the city.
And my favourite band are Capercaillie, I am sure you know them!
