Hey Patricia, did you get the rest of the laundry folded?

I am not allowed to touch laundry at my house (at least the washing part), and my kids are old enough to fold and put it away for us. On the other hand I am the keeper of the kitchen in my house, I cook, dish their plates and serve it to them, and clean up afterwards. I also do the grocery shopping. If the kids need homeade cookies for a school function they ask SuperDad!

LEGAL DISCLAIMER:
(not to imply in any way that SuperMom could not make said cookies or that the quality of said cookies would be any greater or less than if SuperMom made them.)

Two of them came up to the back of our house one day we were there. We had a whole bag of carrots just to feed them. We gave them a few and they ate them right out of our hand. Its unreal how comfortable they are with humans. They have bridges just to allow the cars to cross over deer trails and stuff like that.

No mainly because I havent seen one of those in about 10 years or even heard anything about them either.

My parent originally bought the franchise and I was going to run it, but I then I ended up putting in some of my money in it so I didnt really have to much say in it lol

Y'all remember that sentence that Canucks supposedly get tongue tied over? "This story is about a boat". I asked my Canuck son-in-law to repeat it back to me over the phone, and he had no trouble at all. Well Chit!! Sheldon, could that be because he is from just across the border from Buffalo, and has spent most of his life in the US?

Well it seems like theyve been popping up a lot. Granted, I havent seen many retail locations but the ones at sporting events are everywhere it seems! At 5 bucks for like 2ozs its unreal. No telling how cheap that stuff really is from the distributor! Prolly 15 bucks for 5 pounds haha

Buffalo Wild Wings is a good one too....4 of them popped up around Richmond area in last 2 years...too much hassle with ABC license IMO

Really? the last time I saw one was on a cart in a mall somewhere, a long time ago. I guess where you are there is a market for it. Now Im not going to go into what stuff actually costs from the distributor, but at sporting events they have to pay a fee to be there so they have to make that up by upping the price.

Theres one of those down here, its not a bad place I like it.
