((((Connie)))) Oh, I've been hanging out for a little while. I did have to work, but only for 6 hours. I was thrilled to walk outta there at 3pm!

I'm doing some shopping on eBay for David. He wants Star Wars action figures...go figure-he's a grown man!....but loves toys! LOL! So I'm doing that and chatting with you and Tas.

They are worth turning the oven on to make.

They keep well too.

[luvie]

I do..that is a smell that can't be duplicated out of a can! I'm off this Saturday...miracle of miracles....I ought to bake some! Snickerdoodles would hit the spot this time of year!

[TASMANIANRED]

Makes a mighty homey aroma.

my experience is that perjurers get caught in court.

Of course you're right. I don't know what got into me, but they took my soapbox away.

[GodBlessUSA]

How are you tonight?

Thanks Taz! I will. I just got back and he's eating crackers and having some ginger ale. Hope that all goes well.

[Lady Jag]

wouldn't mind having the Porsche 911, either!

I saw a new Jag today that made me want it bad!
