Practice makes perfect.....post on....
they would send xshub directly to the ER, he’s extremely allergic!
Count me in the Hunkie reunion! Both paternal grandparents off the boat from Poland, both maternal grandparents from Slovakia. One grandfather was a coal miner, one a steelworker. My little Slovak grandmother used to call us gypsies when we acted up. You know, my parents had a “mixed marriage”, what with a Pollock marrying a Slovak. Heresy.
Silly, he isn’t supposed to EAT them.......
Three of my grandparents came to the US from other countries: Denmark, Scotland, and Canada(Newfoundland). The other one was from Brooklyn and dated back to the American Revolution’s Captain John Parker. She was the scariest of all.
i had a steelworker and a coal miner for grandpas too! and my Lithuanian grandma used to warn me about Italians, all the time! they are a different kind of people, xs, she would say!!! HA and i married one!!
Yes, it was 65 here at 6 AM. All the natives are wearing jackets.
i’m sure that’s frigid for them! 27 degs here!
the virtual ones are safe enough. I thought they were adorable.
Fingers would work, but I suspect tortilla chips.
tortilla chips....potato chips wouldn’t hold up in it to scoop. it is an awesome snack.
My condolences on the Italian.
I think I’ll take my bonus from this trip and get my wife a remote starter.
Mmmmmm. I love wing sauce. I even pour it on chicken nuggets. Gee thanks, now I am drooling. Well, more than usual, anyway ;P
I LOVE my remote starter. Summer or winter. I either cool the car down on a hot summer day, or warm it up in the winter and melt the snow off. We both have them on our cars.
I was looking online last night. I gathered that the “price” is somewhat illusory as there are additional parts needed for installation.
We took ours to local installers and had it done. Takes about an hour. Well worth it.
One summer when I was in college I got a ticket doing 90 mph on Rt. 22. I had to go to downtown Pgh and see a PennDOT guy as a punishment. Got 15 day suspension, which I served during the school year when I didn’t have a car anyway.
My dad sold the V-8 Pontiac Nova-clone and left us with the 4 cylinder Citations.
we had four cylinder cars for our boys, too. ;^)
does she have to park outside?
He has a blue FJ cruiser, which attract attention no matter what speed they are traveling. 85 in a 65 mph zone. i have a lead foot myself, he comes by it honestly.
