i know what you mean , that's what i do when i see those pesky salesmen coming down the street .

One step closer...

DPS cashed my check yesterday.

They're pretty quick to cash those checks (7 days), so that means they *open the packets* within a few days of receipt. WHY does it take *four weeks* to move to the "processing" stage?

Oh trust me....I started double guessing myself and nearly opened the door because they might be innocent salesman. Common sense (gift of fear) took over! It was raining, it was dark....and they did not fit with the neighborhood. Car broken down? Could be, but these guys were young and no doubt had cell phones to use to call for help. Plus, salesmen don't yell what these guys were yelling.

I think I’d be a little leery of the girl scout too.

USA1, it's not very PC to be drolling over Girl Scouts.

i guess that could have been taken out of context .

Back in my gainfully employed days, I would buy two boxes (6 packages each) of the Thin Mints every year. Keep 'em in the freezer and eat them cold. They rock!

Gives a new meaning to "they melt in your mouth and not in your hand.". I've always put candy bars in the fridge. Not so much as to make them last longer, but they just seem to taste better.

And hello stranger. Long time no talk to. Hope all is well with you.

Been BUSY. College is for kids......I have to read a book, a 46 page manuscript and other stuff just to write a 2-3 page paper on the relations between the English, the French, and the Iroquois indians in the 17th and 18th centuries. Sounds more like a doctoral disseration to me. Where to start?

I jump on here occasionally to remain sane.......

What?? SANITY?? I have checked my status three times already this morning and am failing to find this to be reflective of possessing a sane nature.

Thanks for your years of service, Lonewolf. Just remember when you are cracking those books.....age and experience has it ALL over the young and clueless.

After not doing so well on the surprise Physics quiz this morning, its now OLD and clueless, but your sentiment is most greatly appreciated!

Old age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill.

I LOVE it.....

Sorry to hear about the Physics quiz, Lonewolf. But....it was PHYSICS for heavens sake. Just thinking about it is enough to make my head hurt! You'll get 'em next time!
