If you don't think every day is a good day, just try missing one.
Coffee, tea and ph00 are more or less 'ready'. Good Luck... uh... I mean, ENJOY!

Oh great, now the FBI will be showing up to check on us.
Just saw something funny I never noticed before. Using ff, when you quote a post it underlines the misspelled words. When you check the suggested spelling for Chaikwa, it gives "chainsaw".
Severe weather warning for this afternoon, Mississippi and Louisiana are getting it ahead of us.

JWBM, thank you much. We'll be heading out to Tucson in DHs car..."Sweetie, I just don't enjoy driving your truck". He's a good man but his words can be so hurtful sometimes. Be careful with the turkey. Those guys wre so mean to me when I was a kid.

I think what bugs me though is he puts my truck down because it's not a comfortable or "fun to drive" or pick up as fast as his car. What a snob! He's actually said that the steering and ride is as good as it'll probably ever get. I told him maybe not. He just wouldn't be able to stomach the cost of upgrading it to the point it spanks the bling off his wheels

Me gone,
Bob
