Ya gotta love it when somehow Lisa's lovely mug makes it to the top of most pages. Is this by chance or someones diabolical plan? I have not counted, but I am surprised at how many of the OT pages start with her at the top. It may not be that many. Hell I don't know what I am talking about anyway.

Yep. We're trying to get a hold of some of uncle Sam's "use it or lose it" money now. To be honest, I'm kinda, sorta thinking maybe this isn't a such bad thing. I've been bending the same wrenches in the same place for 19 years now. Perhaps it's time for a change

Either way....I'm not going to get all that upset Tuesday, however it plays out.

It actually is quite a bit of work. I have to go through this thread several times daily and delete several of the rest of y'alls posts to get hers to the top of the page.

Welcome home Joe!!!

Joe, gee I wonder how I knew...hmmm...lol you rascal. The poor woman is probably ragged from no sleep.

Yep everything got more expensive since you left...except diesel, that went down. The station by my house finally went under $4/gal today. yay!

I went to dinner with my family tonight, laughed so hard my throat hurts. We almost got kicked out of the restaurant. You guys think I'm bad, my brother, sisters and stepmom are way worse than me, way mouthier and twice as bold.

That's a good attitude to have Scott. Some things wehave no control over. I'll have my fingers crossed for you in hope that what ever happens, works out or the best for you.

Here's some good OT fodder for your enjoyment-

Senior Sex!

A Florida couple, both well into their 70s, go to a sex therapist's office. The doctor asks, "What can I do for you?" The man says, "Will you watch us have sexual intercourse?" The doctor raises both eyebrows, but he is so amazed that such an elderly couple is asking for sexual advice that he agrees.
When the couple finishes, the doctor says, "There's absolutely nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse" He thanks them for coming, he wishes them good luck, he charges them $50 and he says goodbye.
The next week, however, the couple returns and asks the sex therapist to watch again. The sex therapist is a bit puzzled, but agrees.
This happens several weeks in a row. The couple makes an appointment, has intercourse with no problems, pays the doctor, then leave.
Finally, after 5 or 6 weeks of this routine, the doctor says, "I'm sorry, but I have to ask. Just what are you trying to find out?"
The old man says, "We're not trying to find out anything. She's married and we can't go to her house. I'm married and we can't go to my house. The Holiday Inn charges $98. The Hilton charges $139. We do it here for $50,and I get $43 back from Medicare. "

Oh yeah! I wanted to rant about that since I was forced to change my oil due to the containment problem! I got charged 14 dollars a gallon for citgo 15-40 and was blown away and pissed about the price. Then the next day when I bought 4.5 gallons of rotella T synthetic. . . 22+ dollars a gallon. thats 6+ dollars more than normal. WTF?
