Nice right hook last night...still LMAO.

That’s an interesting Russian saying.
Irish saying I read somewhere once (not kidding)

Xshub was in Dallas Sunday to weds and never left the hotel other than getting out of and into the cab from airport. He said it was nice yesterday there when he was leaving.
Of course.
I was cackling out loud in front of people.
Yes. GW parkway was actually closed. Not sure if it’s reopened or not. We still have not finished the driveway. It’s long and a 45 degree angle. No one can leave until that is done. Xshub and Xsteen are working from home and trying to do that as well.
Cute....
The snow has spread farther north and east and now is supposed to be till 6 or so tonight. My daughter has an appointment with a specialist in Monroeville, so I am heading home soon to drive there. My wife won’t want to do that.
If you don’t have “tennis elbow” you are lucky
Love this one!
Sounds like you had bad luck weather wise on your visit - hope it is better next time
Okay how can they act like they stone gays in Russia when every last make figure skater is a flamer?

Haha - the chinese guy and girl are engaged - have been skating together for 20 years. Wow. Possibly the first hetero couple in ice skating ever. lol
I don’t have feelings of sympathy
For liberals who slavishly voted
To screw the sheep with Obamacare
Since it was his water they toted
But conditions have become pluvial
In the Lala land where they dwell-
Without even a dry day to relieve
The gloom, and mud of their hell-
Those up for re-election in states
Where governors will make it cost
The koolaid drinking fools the vote
For all the insurance policies lost...
It is sunny and 54, and not supposed to freeze tonight-puddles and any other little bit of water outside was frozen early this morning, but by the time I got back from picking up my tile samples, it was all melted and almost balmy...
Next week is supposed to warm up. Into the 40s, then 50s for the weekend.
That’s what they say now, anyway.
