Why are so many people interested in “life” on other planets? They can’t even handle the lives on this one!

This is an intentional double post cause I got so excited I forgot to include ya, TOL.

Right, right, we're gonna lose our minds tonite. Here's the deelio.
I had everything ready for the BBQ when she got here. Made the potato salad, the shrimp salad. The baked beans. I even opened a can of olives all by myself. Had the cabbage chopped for the coleslaw. THE LAST THING TO DO before I turned on the grill was the dressing for the coleslaw. She volunteered. Then asked me 4 times what the ingredients were, and it's HER recipe. While I was trying to post.
