Here are your clues: the spelling is "Alapaha" and the origin is American Indian. Any bravehearts out there??? $\:D$ Looks like "I'll pay ya" to me... LOL Chris

Sorry. My original intent was to one of curiosity as to whether, in your area, you say “you-uns” or “youz guys“. No, wait, that wasn't it. Maybe I was wondering if anyone knows where the city of Balmer is located. I'm not sure about that either. It's been so long since I started this thread I can't remember. rick
