I believe pretty much all women are.

It's why I live in Florida. And why so many OLD people live here too.

Sorry, we have been on the road. Wife wanted to spend the New Years somewhere "cold". We left yesterday afternoon following an abbreviated work day to head north. We are in Asheville NC. Looks like we missed it by one week. Last weekend in the Keys was colder than this weekend will be here. Of course last weekend was VERY cold in Asheville. Just fine by me as I don't care for freezing cold and especially don't feel like driving on sloppy roads. Still, the 790 mile journey was not that much fun. Traffic, traffic, traffic. Fortunately most of it headed south. Something to take into consideration when heading home. And about the engagement, so sorry for your loss....

An FYI: Those teeth are numbered 1 to 16 on top from right to left, and 17 to 32 on the bottom from left to right. Your fun fact for the day.

Looks like I need to hop in my private jet and fly up to that tiny back woods town in Georgia to enlighten a VJ friend. I wonder if they have an airport near by?

Doesn't Radio Shack still sell AAA batteries? I'll have to check the Radio Shack on our island in the Keys. Noticed this past week it is still open.

I'm a problem student with a bad attitude and no respect for the teacher.

Got back from the Keys yesterday around dinner time. Had my mother with us the entire time since heading down Friday morning. Oh, WOW. I'm exhausted from listening to her, mostly complaining. Everything costs too much. Heard way too much about her "gas" and other bodily functions I won't mention here. Why don't her grandchildren call her more? Etc, etc... I'll have to give her a pass. She is my mother after all and she will be 90 in 5 months.

Keep your "hurricane" generator handy.

Aren't chimps the ones that fling poo at each other? Better to keep it indoors, and especially under the sheets while in bed.

Bah humbug from that place where all the old hippies that never grew up live. Drinking heavily makes it all seem OK somehow.

TBoneTX, on this Christmas day I hope you helped to spread the love and joy by taking a family or two of "undocumented" folks into your home....

Fortunately there is a 7kW heat strip in the central AC. It's getting a workout. Hasn't been used in some time, but we do turn the heat on once or twice a year. Getting ready to put in a new AC to replace the one that is 14 years old. My buddy owns an AC business and he and I will install something that is rather new on the market and is very efficient and is a heat pump. Salt spray is horrible on anything metal and it is surprising that this last unit has survived for so long. Just saw on the news that we will be back up in the mid to upper 70's by Tuesday and lower to mid 80's by Thursday. That's a relief. Was just complaining I don't have my long insulated underwear here.

Still cold here in the FL Keys. Only 55 degrees. Sure hope it warms up quickly. I've used up both of my long sleeve shirts.

And Beano?

I'm going to have to admit I am a BAD parent (and grandparent), but a wonderful son. This year because of a last minute (well, last weekend) decision, we decided to blow off my kids and grand kids for Christmas and head out of town to spend the holiday in the Keys, and took my elderly mother with us. The elder mother will be 90 years old in 5 months. She still has her mind, and gets around pretty well so we asked her if she wanted to go to the Keys with us. She was more than happy to go and get out of her retirement facility or "old folks home" as I call it. Did not invite my kids and their little ones. Didn't need that headache. Monday on the way home will swing by my stepdaughter's house and see the devil children. Turns out it was a good decision to come down as it is many (2x2x2x2) degrees warmer here. Even at that we just finally gave in and turned the heat on as it had gotten down to 68 degrees in the house. Unbearable. One downside, mom is driving me nuts.... but I am trying.

While I am not a big fan of corn dogs, I do love hot dogs with relish.

TBoneTX, thanks so much for this important information. With your dietary intake, I am sure you are well versed in this subject. Do you have anything pertinent to add?

I don't think that applies to Canadians. Where I live, we have Canadian snow birds that are here every year. The important factor for them is that they stay just less than 6 months. They are here every year for just a few days short of 6 months.

No, man. I don't give two hoots about precision, correctness, and P-mathematical purity. Just wanted to impress you and make you happy!

Guess it's going to be a while before I can get high in kids cough syrup again.

That's news to me. I will say I had not been following her very closely. She does seem rather manly. As far as I'm concerned, they could have kept her in prison for the nine years.

Going to be "cold" here for Christmas, relatively speaking. As a last minute decision we are getting out of here and headed just a couple of hours away to the Keys for the holiday. The heck with the kids and grandkids. I need to stay warm. Should be (2x2x2x2x2x2) + (2+2+2+1) degrees for Christmas. (Did that just for you TBoneTX) Wife has us driving to the mountains of NC for New Years. That's not going to be fun. I don't even own an ice scraper for the car, and they don't sell them here. Hope the credit card trick works. Also noted that the only windshield washer fluid that's available here is the summer variety that's only good above freezing. Got to find something to add to keep it from freezing. Gin?

1. No 2. No

Or a home town honey like Stacy Abrams But hey, I can give her that tooth gap. 20 seconds with my drill and it's all set.
