Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Here is my example with WFTD.
Reggie Love writes of his extended bonhomie with one true love.
No pushing at the door please!
morning.
Can anyone name a president, or anyone for that matter, who had a “body man” on the taxpayer payroll?
Among gentlemen, I’ve found fewer men of resounding bonhomie than our former president George W. Bush.
A+++ I think he is a wonderful man.
I have no idea what a body man DOES!
tree and house decorated, inside and out. presents wrapped. 4 kinds of cookies made. having a Christmas party EARLY will light the fire under one’s butt. xsbaby and I busted our behinds to get all of this done before xshub got home from CA yest. after the party next Sunday, I will have all kinds of leisure time heading into Christmas, because I was forced by virtue of needing the dining room to be cleaned out for the party, to get all of this stuff done.
I made a tree-sized hole in the living room. No tree yet. We are going to get a real tree this year. My wife has never had a real tree ever.
whoa! never? Post a pic on twitter k? real trees are nice. xsteen and xssoninlaw bought a real one yesterday. I gave them a bunch of stuff to decorate it with, bc they are just building their own Christmas nest. Our last REAL tree was the year we got Chanel from the breeder. It was our last bc the tree had a mouse in it which was then loose in the house. I don’t mind not having a real one any more, I did at first.
"Yo, bro! What diss new movie 'Spectre' 'bout, anyway?"
"Bon', homie, James Bon'."
clever one! A++++
While increasing his power and autonomy
Barry smiles, tries to hide it with bonhomie
But the recent election
Showed total rejection
Of a dictator and his ruined economy
wonderful! A++++
Wow. I have zero Christmas stuff up. Today is our son’s birthday and he was off early to take a final exam, poor thing.
having people come to your house is a motivator. I would be a total slacker if not for this. my kids really enjoy having this party each year and invite their friends to it as well, so it’s worth doing IMO.
happy bday to your boy!
After 2 exams today, he has to go get another new tire since he popped his brand new one on a curb Friday, swerving out of the way for another car. They didn’t have it in stock so he is riding around on the little spare. It is his birthday gift from us.
those are expensive I know. xsteen took her car into the dealer for servicing, Toyotacare pays for the first year or so of oilchanges etc. She went to pick it up and the right side view mirror was just hanging off. Putting it through their carwash they forgot to push the mirrors in, and so tore her’s off. They gave her a loaner etc. but it’s still a pain in the neck for them to go out there and pick it up etc.
Holy Day today.
