Hi Dmitri. I'm subbing your Entry A87778291 'Hillbilly - What It Means, When (Not) to Say It'.

The dipping snuff link http://www.news-record.com/content/2008/08/22/article/dipping_snuff_an_art_best_left_to_experts appears to be broken. I can't find an alternative. Do you have one or shall I just remove the link?

Hi, h5ringer! Thanks for doing this.

I can't find that article now, either - got Bad Gateway and such.

How about this one? It's funnier, and it told me things I didn't know:

My cousins told me that when they were kids, they stayed with a babysitter because their mother was a nurse. The babysitter lady wasn't too keen on kids. She'd send them out in the backyard to play. Their only toys were empty snuff tins that she'd washed out. This was in Georgia.

ok that's me done then. Let me know if you're happy and I'll send it off to those good 'ol Editor guys

That looks great to me. As my grandfather would have said, 'You did a good job of work, there.'
