If thats what has to happen then so be it, Looks like we will be home for Christmas!

Haha Im not filthy rich, been working my *** off since I was 13.

My family owns a few resturant franchises in MD and now were going to open up a store down here. Back home we have donut stores and down here we will have donuts and Maggie Moos ice cream all in the same store.

Heres the donut side

And heres the Ice cream side

Doghouse is insulated, with a carpet door (that Lily loves to chew on haha) shingled, no siding yet, two light sockets on the inside, with all outdoor 14/2 wiring, currently two 60 watt bulbs. It is a little to big for her right now, but she will grow into it more, and that is also the reason for the two bulbs over the one, then its just a little warmer in there for her due to the extra room. Then we got her a heated water dish. Next project for the ol dog is to build a table type deal with a roof so her food and water doesnt get extra snow and stuff in it!
Damn that sound like a nice place to stay if you ever get kicked out of the house!

Ray those are neat looking deer! Why do ya think your dog wouldnt like the dog house, too cold? haha

Yeah my pup stays outside MOST of the time, even in the cold. We bring her in alot to warm up though, and she plays for along time outside, then goes in her house for awhile, has a nap warms up, then plays some more! Shes too big for an inside dog in the home we have right now.

Well I am back from my fun test and have a BIG cup of coffee with pumpkin pie creamer in it!!!! The test it self wasn't too bad, it was getting all the electrodes on me that hurt. They have to scrape the skin to get them to make good enough contact, I had 26 of them on my forehead and scalp, 2 on my cheeks and 1 on each collar bone.

Lisa- hope you guys get to leave tomorrow!

Nick- Congrats on passing your permit test!!

Sheldon- Sweet dog house!!

Jim- Thanks for taking us back to the 7.3! I agree with everyone else, you da man!!

Line 1/2 gallons of icecream up on the card isle. At the count of 3 you and your friends then proceed to kick them as hard as possible down the card isle. Walmart in Petersburg didnt like that one bit. We were banned for like a week until they got a new manager!

Joe, I think it is cool that you got her a Dyson, those are great vaccums!!!

I really wanted a torque wrench for xmas but my family refused to buy me one so I told them to get it for Troy. He is now getting a really nice Craftsmas torque wrench with digital readout. lol. I also tried to get them to get me truck stuff and they wouldn't so I think I am getting new pans and girly stuff from my mom.

I also don't let Troy buy me gifts for bdays, holidays or annv. I guess that goes back to not liking to get gifts. I have bought him a few little things from the kids so they have something to give him.
Girly stuff for a woman with a lifted PSD...no wonder you dont like gifts!

No coffee is going to be the killer.
Hope it went well!


Brent...thanks for the heads up on the 666th post. I didnt have any idea really and definitely dont want to get you mad at me!
