I am having a hard time remembering why I logged on the first time...I think it was because I needed help figuring out what kind of chip my truck had. When I first started posting, amiller was the high authority. Kwik was here too of course, and I think Kris was like 16, or something..real sweet kid too.

Gezz. I wouldn't mess with her thats for sure. I have never known/heard of anyone ever having electric shock therapy, even though I knew it happened at one point in time in our history. That's crazy! Randy has a grandma who is like 95 or something! She is blind, can barely walk, is hard of hearing, and weighs about 85 lbs...Randy brings her salt and vinegar potato chips and she gets such a kick out of that. Last time we went and saw her she wanted to know when we were getting married. lol.

The one we have here is a big nerd fest...but its a boob fest too.

But we have other conventions that attract the REAL weirdo's. Since we are a big city and we have so many convention centers (and since Denver is such a liberal, artsy place) we have lots of sex conventions, S&M, all that kind of stuff. Randy and I went to a gun show once, and the convention place it was being held at just happened to also be hosting some type of spiritual/witch and potions type of thing. That was...an interesting mix of people!!! Freaked the hippies out when they saw a bunch of rednecks walking around with guns..and the rednecks were weirded out when one of the hippies would get lost and end up on our side of the convention center.

Have a good date Chris. The abundance of sunshine woke me up this morning. Dangit. That and the neighbors dog that won't stop barking.

This morning I get to pack, and go outside and clean up after the roofers who put the new roof over my porch. There is coke bottles and packaging material and crap all over my yard.

Here's how bored I am this morning. I have to hang around because there are still two babies left to sell and I am in charge of showing them today. Part of my indentured servitude arrangements for being parked here. Anyway, someone that does not care, clear their cookies and then visit this thread again and see if the count goes up one notch. Just want to test my simple minded theory that there are really that many members of FTE that have looked in on us strange few that post here.

Ahhh ****, there goes that theory. The damn count just jumped a whole bunch all at once. It must just update every few hours or something. Now I gotta find something else to occupy my simple mind.

Lisa, take lots of pictures, then call the company and complain this morning. If you and your friends did the roof, clean up would be expected. If you're paying a professional, they should clean up after themselves. Either have them come by and clean it up, or knock $100 off your bill for your troubles.

Chris, I almost said the same thing, but figured I'd keep my nose out of it. Lisa once told me exactly that. To keep my nose out of her business, so when a woman speaks, I pay attention. So I am glad you brought it up as there is no excuse for that. Could have been worse though, could have been beer cans instead of pop bottles.

Ray, how did this all go? I once volunteered to get involved in a parental repossession of a child that wanted to be with the parent I offered to help. What are the results if you get nabbed doing this? I do not remember the details, but I once spent a night in jail in Georgia and do not care to do that again.

ok to start kid origionated in NC and mother took him to Fla
my son got emergency custody in NC
the mother agreed for him to visit me in Ga
I picked him up and went straight to NC
now my son has custody and the kid and law in Fla looking for me
A couple calls from sons attorney to sheriff in Fla and all was good since I had permission to take kid to Ga

Had Fla law found me early I would probly had some time in jail but it had to be done and I was only one that could pull it off

It wasn't too super bad. Some wrappers from roofing supplies, a couple coke bottles (brand new) and some drinking water. I think it was dark when they left, so that sort of explains things. I don't think they meant to leave those brand new Coke bottles ya know. I had to go outside and rake leaves anyway.

The only thing that sorta made me mad is that they used my outdoor outlet and my extension cord..unplugged my cord from my timer. I didn't notice it and the truck ended up being plugged in for 11 hours. No big deal but, gezz if you borrow my stuff at least put it back!

Not really worth fighting it. Now they at least hauled off all the old roofing they removed. THAT I would have thrown a fit over.

Mark, I never mind getting advice from you. You are a smart man and a Marine to boot (something to always be respected). If I got on you about something, it was probably just for being negative. I am a relentless optimist. Glass half full my friend. smile. Things suck sometimes, granted...but you have a lot of good friends here you know.
