I'm going to enjoy it as long as it lasts, which at the moment, is up in the air.

[budman_2001]

Anybody on the DTV dance-channels?

[WestCoastGal]

The usual "have a good day old man" from TJ.

[don-o]

I am worried about nascar

I am not that knowledgeable (I know that's a shock) but seems to me, at some point there could be a new body created. I mean, they do it in pro wrasslin' all the time. Why not?

[WestCoastGal]

Nope TP here.

Pitstall #2 behind 9 in front of the 10.

[don-o]

Are you OK?

[glock rocks]

Please pray on this day, and every day, for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm's way around the world in defense of our liberty, and for the families awaiting their safe return.

The Federalist - It's right, and it's free.

[SouthTexas]

That's the scary part!

[don-o]

Amen.

[SouthTexas]

Amen.
