MoseySusan Posted January 6, 2022 Share #207 Posted January 6, 2022 Those who know Hank in person, did he speak with a SC drawl? I have relatives in SC. I know the sound. I always read Cheese posts with a SC genteel drawl. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted January 6, 2022 Share #208 Posted January 6, 2022 4 hours ago, Philander Seabury said: After a few days I realize what I miss aboot Cheese. Like all of us, he was an individual with his own quirks and idiosyncracies, although even more so. Basically a breath of fresh air, an escape from the mundane. So now we have our Whoppers without Cheese, so they are naturally more boring. Yet as I always said, there will always be a Cheese around here. Like Kirby said, he will still be enjoying Heathcat every day with us. I think one of the things I liked most about his posts was the passion he demonstrated about seemingly silly or ordinary things including Moon Pies, music, onions, the Partridge Family and (of course) Greenville. He had a way of looking at things that made the ordinary seem special. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinneR ★ Posted January 6, 2022 Share #210 Posted January 6, 2022 The only local place I've seen Moon pies is at the Jenny Lake Store in GTNP. I always bought one when I rode up there and ate it while sitting on bench outside. It always made me think of Cheese. No RC Cola though. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a BBQ joint, Carolina Brothers, on the W&OD trail in Ashburn. They sell moon pies and may sell RC cola. I do know that they sell Cheerwine. I will partake and think of Cheese the next time I’m riding that way. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is different, but I agree it is unusual not to at least mention briefly one has a spouse after a number of yrs. together. Maybe she was quite different from him, that it would have not fit into his patter of jokes and zany fun. However it depends when 2nd woman entered his life..maybe after you knew him. You're just a more open person, LJ...in general. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might make me think what other kind of double life my spouse was living. And who the hell are all these people making an entrance in one of the most personal tragedies I get to live through?? Ah.... maybe someday when she's driving back home from wherever she will think about her husband and the massive changes it brought and maybe... just maybe.. she will think what a kind and supporting gesture it was.

I think that's great. Even just mentioning that this place is COMPLETELY open - no membership or tracking unless one joins - so she could at ANY time and in total anonymity feel free to visit and browse his or anyone's topics. Now or later. No pressure and certainly on her terms. Sure, if she wants to post, she can join, but if she just wants to see what a funny and well-loved guy he was here, there are no commitments required 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
