[Randy Larsen]

If you really want to talk to ME, take it off line!

You know how to get a hold of me!

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! What a great picture! I can see Friday too. Good night and rest well, Meg. Thanks for helping honor our troops.

[laurenmarlowe]

I am so sorry Randy, this is obviously about you. Nitey-nite!

[Randy Larsen]

Nite Princess...

[Kathy in Alaska]

Aloha, Hawaii....how are your volcanoes doing?

[MoJo2001]

Good morning Ma!

It looks like you need a breather. So? I’ve decided that we need to re-do the entire Canteen House.

Which section can we blow up first?

[Randy Larsen]

Start with me!

[MoJo2001]

I’ve decided we’ll start with your room first.

Don’t worry about a thing. I’m sure you have enough insurance to cover it, right?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hmmm...maybe we need to rearrange the furniture.....so everyone will bump into all the stuff in its new places.

And what are you doing up so late?

[MoJo2001]

We’re not allowed to blow each other up silly goose.

Now...help me find something to ‘redecorate’ Ma’s room.

That’s an order Mister.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Wait!!! Is this a wall to wall blow everything up event? I would like someone to help get rid of lots of extraneous stuff. Wait!!! I can box stuff up and send it to you!!

[MoJo2001]

Don’t worry! By the time, we’re done...there won’t be anything in the room to “bump into”. Snicker.

[Kathy in Alaska]

A court transcript....hmmm, I imagine that could be a tad boring. Are you the polisher?

[Randy Larsen]

Will do, Ma’s Computer room is chock full of STUFF!

She needs someone to clean that mess up, or at least help re-organise her junk! LOL!

[MoJo2001]

That’s why ya blow things up. Reorganization isn’t an issue then. See how this works Randy?

Hehe!

[Randy Larsen]

Got it!

Then blow up that darn chair she falls asleep in!

Ma needs a goodnights sleep in a real chair!

Something with drink holders, and vibra-massage!

Wait!...Yeah, she needs that!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Wait! Do I get a say in any of this? DUH! That was a dumb question.....
