Curmudgeon Oats for breakfast Mark? Can’t he just say thanks for a job well done and leave it at that?

Back in the 'old days' when some of us used the 'long drop' in the backyard for our 'necessary business', there was often an old Sears & Roebuck catalog for the 'paperwork' after your business was complete. If the pages ran out before a new catalog arrived, some folks had to resort to using dried corncobs (after the corn had been shelled).

If someone were in a ornery mood, the inevitable comment directed their way was, "Corncobs, huh?" If they were exceptionally nasty, a comment was made to others, "Sounds like he has a corncob stuck .. ... ..."

Lol. I could probably out curmudgeon him on a corncob day given the right issue. I just think this is one of times that a little courtesy be shown. Many here feared she might wobbly. She did exactly the opposite, despite massive unhinged pressure. A simple thank you from Mark, and any pleased with the result, would have been the decent thing to do. We are not the left.

LOL!!! When things didn’t go right for my Dad I can remember him saying “that’s as rough as a cob.”
