I add the numbers together. Right now I'm 13 but in Jan I will be 5. It is a great method and every 10 years you back up. My secondary method is months. I will be 600 months old in Jan, right now I'm 597 months.
Try either.

I'll be glad when I get the mess cleaned up at work. These idiots wouldn't be pumping gas if I owned the station.
I'm Sorry
I'm sorry bout the contact lense,
That swirled right down the drain.
I hope at least the sun will shine,
And there will not be rain.
Just close the left and use the right,
And you will see just fine.
Then tell yourself that you're the best,
And a close friend of mine.

Coolbreeze had to leave for work really early, so my butt got dragged out of bed at some unholy hour this morning - only to learn that school is delayed 2 hours because of the fog.
This place has been an absolute asylum this morning........and people wonder why I drink!!!!!

i know, i put something in the sink for that very reason. to make me stop and think. we have a double sink in the masterbath so i brushed my teeth etc. in xshub's half. xshub is so stressed and overtired, i felt bad i even told him about it last night. i should have just called Al and dealt with it on my own. i would try to take it apart myself, but i have never done anything like that and with my luck, i wouldn't put it together right and end up with water damage from the leakage~!

did either of you see the news report of Sen. Judd Gregg's wife being abducted at knifepoint by men who were in her house ROBBING HER? they made her drive to the bank and make a withdrawal of $$$ and then let her and her kid go. i need to find the article, i want to read about it. i only saw some brief blurbs on TV. McLean is right on my beaten path, it is where xsboy does his writing clinic, where the dentist and vet are etc. i am SURE i go to that dang bank! very disturbing.
