Last year you said that dirty drivers were the better drivers. LOL

LOL, please quote my words ( reference my post), not your interpretation or recollection. I posted against the Baby Jr, and you started whining and shreiking... just like now.

Waah! I just called it like I saw it!

I'm happy for Matt to get his win at Daytona. Wish they had raced for it all the way!

[WestCoastGal]

Thanks Norm, you may need to bail me out, I’m tired of the bashers already.

Whatever Jr took to combat that flu, tell him to never take that again. He definitely wasn't himself out there today.

The only bad news - no Free Fry Monday; Arby's got out of the racing business.

[Partisan Gunslinger]

Can't honor me with a ping. I guess that is a lack of class.

I don't think you are any authority on class.

[WVKayaker]

I have a selective memory...my Scots-Irish gene runs strong when it comes to retaliation. :o)

Shootin' blanks!

[WestCoastGal]

Thanks FRiend. The garden thread is so much calmer and more courteous. LOL

[WestCoastGal]

Thank you both for the comments and will definitely see you next week. California starts late here so I should be home from work........some would probably hope I wasn’t here. LOL

FWIW - I have really learned to enjoy these threads quite a bit. When I first posted here I know I offended some with my comments about a driver that I just do not like. However, as in the rest of life, I realized that I needed to speak in a nice mannerly way and respect the favorite driver’s of others. Since my family tend to mostly like the same guys it was a learning experience for me.

I see the way this thread has gone and do not care for it either. I think it’s not difficult to learn to speak and behave respectfully to others. I would not like this to be the tenor of future threads but I also would not like to lose the chatter from the kind people I’m accustomed to here.

[WestCoastGal]

I’m glad you were here today Amelia see you next week.

[WVKayaker]

Sorry you can't take a little criticism. I hope you can take a little breath, and keep going. It was only a race, and it won't matter tomorrow.

Sorry if I get under your skin, but the same can be reversed with anything! Have a good week.

[B Knotts]

Do we get a free Ritz cracker, at least?

[WestCoastGal]

Thanks tube, yes the new Yahoo league page sucks. I haven’t gone there yet.........as it won’t be pretty I had Flash Jr Tony and Riggs. Good start,

[B Knotts]

However, as in the rest of life, I realized that I needed to speak in a nice mannerly way and respect the favorite driver’s of others.

Agreed. Except for Vickers, of course! LOL!

[WestCoastGal]

Are we there yet???????????

[WestCoastGal]

You said that so much better than I did. Thanks.

[steveegg]

I think we get a free DeWalt tool.

[B Knotts]

Takes some getting used to, but it's not bad after a while.

Ha! Can't remember what you said, huh? No problem:

"That is why Kyle is points leader and Jr is looking for a win. I think winning comes by being first to the finish line! That is racing!"

Funny how it was "racing" last year and this year you're set to whine endlessly about getting wrecked. LOL

[B Knotts]

Hey...now I like that idea!

[glock rocks]

Yes!
