Hey Gas.
Nothing is sacred anymore, and elections are becoming a severe joke. It's absolutely scary what the people in this country are willing to give up because they are too damn lazy to get out of their chairs and vote.

"and how is that fictional little grandbaby that not one of us has ever laid eyes on, EOD"
He is finer than frog's hair! Remember the new car I purchased for my wife a few months ago? It has 15,000 miles on it. We live about 100 miles from my daughter and we don't miss an opportunity to visit our grandson and his parents, even if for only a few hours.
I have stacks of pictures I have taken, but no one has ever suggested that I buy a scanner so I can post them. :))

It's because of the fickleness of the American people. They all are pissed that big business is running a'ground, but the serial killer and rapists and terrorists .... well now, as long as they are not killing them or theirs... heck they don't care. /disgusted voice

It's incredibly busy around here. I have got to say I love that concept, it's a heck of a lot better than the last job!
To: EODGUY
Yikes......Mickey's big hand is nearing the 12 and his little hand is nearing the 1 here in the midwest. I've got a meeting and must take my leave.
Have a good day everyone, and as the saying goes, "If you had just half as much fun as I did.....then I had twice as much fun as you".
God bless,

I do have a way with the ladies, don't I??

I saw that, should we be concerned? Old man Lautenburg should be more concerned with fighting off the Grim Reaper than with fighting off Forrester.
To: RikaStrom
Other definitions of quondam:
4. A prophylactic, sold in drug stores and other locales.
5. That book read by the Muslims, usually refered to as "The Quondam"
Slow day today, no one else butchered the word using definitions 4 or 5
