Well I have 5 kids and I confirm that women love it when they are pregnant. I don't think it is a hoax at all.

I have done that. Believe this, I was looking at a house in Shelbyville (where I was born) that was 4 stories and 6000 square feet. It was $260,000. While I was looking at it, All I was hearing is "daddy, if you buy this house I will move here" and " Come on Babe let's get it and move here". Then I found another nice house in the country on 12 acres with a 8 stall barn, 6 car garage tri level beautiful house. All I could hear is "who would we talk to out here?" "If we buy the house in Shelbville, I would move, but not for this house" WTF! You know I didn't buy the 6000 sqft house, because I was afraid of the $500 heating bills in the winter. So, I live in California. Now my youngest, would move in a heart beat.
I've always wanted some acreage. I want to have a small orchard, maybe grow some corn and other veggies. I already have my tractor picked out. I love horses too but they can be pretty expensive to take care of.
I only say I "hear" because I have never been preggo before..so I can't speak from experience.

yes i do remember you stories of "the mouse wars", and i was gonna ask ya, but came up with a better way.
a 28 gauge abercrombie & fitch over under shotgun.
i actually got 6 big ones in 3 days with the snap traps.
i think these are the little ones though.
i set out a bunch of sticky traps this morning..
i have gotten one or two every year as it gets col, but two weeks ago we started rebuilding the front of the house, and then it got cold again so i think they all came in when the foundation wall was down.
now that the foundation is sealed, i dont think i will have to worry about them getting in any more.
you can't fix stupid!

No time to really catch up or anything but just stoppin in to say hey!
Congratulations! What a week for employment!
Good evening everyone. Just got caught up.
Happy birthday Cris. How's it feel being a year wiser?
Lisa, have a great time out tonight and have a drink for me.
I am now employed.
I got a call at about 1pm today from one of the 5 companies I applied at on Wednesday. Start Monday morning at 7am. Sounds like some demo work and who knows from there.
I have to admit, I am jealous of Scott going to see Metallica. Have a great time, looking forward to the pics.

I went and saw them years ago,when Enter Sandman came out. It was awesome. I bet you did have a great time.
Just walked in the door from Austin.....man, what a night. They allowed only 2000 people into Stubb's last night. To see Metallica in a small venue like that (like I used to in the old days) was amazing.
I ripped a copy of the set list off of a monitor once they were done. They played:
Creeping Death
For Whom The Bell Tolls
Harvester Of Sorrow
One
Broken, Beat & Scarred
Cyanide
Sad But True
Sanitarium
Master Of Puppets
Blackened
Breadfan
Whiplash
Seek & Destroy
Pics:
Now that we're back, we are getting ready for the bug boil and beerfest that starts at 2pm.
Bugs, beer, hamburgers & hot dogs and lots of good friends today. Wish my FTE buds could join us. We need to move closer together....

I'm sittin around doing a whole lot of nothing right now.
I was going to clean the leaves off the yard, but I figure the mower will chew up what's there into pieces small enough that you can't see em.
Band of Brothers is on the History Channel and I've been watching that for a while now.
