That is funny-Booking.com has good commercials. Personally, I’d like to see a commercial showing a cat or hawk grabbing the Geico gecko and dragging him off screaming-or maybe one where the Progressive insurance Co airhead, Flo is carried off by one of the biker customers on his newly-insured bike-I’m so tired of those two that either of those commercials would be funny...
Good luck to her. We weren’t supposed to get snow, but have 4 inches already. It’s dry, fine snow. I used a broom and swept it off the sidewalk while Buffy romped.
Probably throws a baseball like one, too...
Wonder whether the superbowl commercials will be good this year.
She probably throws better than O.
All the news is about how bad that storm is supposed to get. We spent a lot of time up north, courtesy of the military, but I’ve never seen/been in a blizzard. It has never sounded like fun to me...
Is anyone watching Sons of Liberty? I enjoyed last night’s 1st episode, but I never pictured Madison as originally being a crooked businessman and a snob who made deals with the British governor.
I’ll have to see them in a recap after-I haven’t watched superbowl since the game was no longer the most important part-that was maybe the late 80’s.
We go to the SIL’ s party every year. She is a diehard Patriot fan and DH hates them. He has been very vocal about deflategate. Should be interesting.
I caught part of it and will watch all of it onDemand. It is supposed to be very good. Justified is on tomorrow night and Downton Abbey was last night. And I have to finish season 2 of House of Cards. I dislike every character of this series except for one so far. I am only watching at this point hoping they get what they deserve.
Not yet, need to check what they’re saying now.
So Bergdahl will be charged with desertion. Wow.
