x2!!!

Odd 'fact' - I worked in Cheyenne, WY for about 16 months and during the summer the good looking women were MIA. Come winter though, they came out! Nothing, and I mean NOTHING in the warm months, but let it get cold and "BOING" there's a hottie in Wal-Mart... "BOING", there's one coming out of Texas Roadhouse... "BOIOIOINGGGG" there's a SUPER hot Mommie filling up her SUV!!! Still, I don't miss the place.

Thanks for the heads-up on that one. I saw "8 Below" with some friends, one of whom is a Husky-owner & borderline animal nutjob... I told her she's never allowed to see it again, own it, or even be in the room with the DVD. Yes, it was that bad with her.

On a up-note, I went to see "Yes Man" with Jim Carey. He's looking old but it was friggin' HYSTERICAL!! "Bedtime Stories" looks kinda cheesey but funny too, so that's on my list.... for when I'm not snowboarding!!

I've never heard it called "Boxing Day" although I'd imagine if I was out in it long enough, I'd understand where that name came from!

I might poke around online, and see what sales are going... but I'm thinking I might spring for some Wet Okole seat covers for Nyx. I've got balljoints already waiting in a box at home. I'm highly inclined to STAY AWAY from all shopping areas today.

You really need to drink straight water.
It is to your body the equivilent of a fresh oil change for your engine.
It won't run without it.

I have been laughing about it for years. I am using one of those Brita pitchers and filters. Next long drive I take I will fill up a bunch of bottles with that stuff. But when I meet up with Jim and Chris in Florida I will probably be due for a beer or 2.
I'm one of those idiots who has a budget for bottled water. Tap water here in Seattle tastes like the inside of an iron pipe combined with algae from a swamp. I can hardly stomach the stuff.
So I go buy cases of Crystal Geyser. I don't care if it costs, I need water but I cannot drink the stuff that comes out of the tap!

Dan, I drank V8 Fusion Peach/Mango for the first couple of hours yesterday morning and then switched to filtered tap water right up until bedtime. Strange thing about all that water was that I did not feel like I had to pee all day long, nor when I went to bed at 10:00, but I did wake up at 1:45 having to ****, then it was nearly once every hour the rest of the night. That really sucks. I made an appointment with a Dr. today to see what he can do about that.

Is your tap water so bad that one of these simple little Brita systems I have wont work? I probably would not drink tap water either, unless thats all that was available at the time.

Morning/afternoon everyone!

Sheldon, have fun shopping today. I might go shopping later with my mom so I feel your pain......

Dan, I am with you. Tap water here in Az is crap, my girls and I won't drink it. I went and bought a water cooler and 3 5gal bottles. It cost me $3.75 to fill the 3 of them at the water n ice near my house.

Mark, how are you doing on the new meds you got this month?

Az Mark, hope you got some great sunrise pics!
