I do remember that now Danny. This one is more to the tune of 150K -175K in damages. It has been sheer hell.

Yes! Did you really have to ask that question?

Well here's the thing. If I clay and wax a truck I've got to be the one to get it dirty first.

I drove it today and I'll be taking it again tomorrow.

I've got to go grab a new wiper for that truck though. I replaced one and now the other one is screwy.

Crying over a beer is totally acceptable!

Spilled beer is one of the only reasons a man is allowed to cry. The only other alternative to crying over spilled beer is gunfire, basically...
I like your description, now if I could only get Troy to do what I want

Last January a pipe froze then burst. The water ran for a minimum of 4 days. This happened while I was in FL. Big mess.

You should have seen the look on the cops faces when I told them I work at a Donut shop, man they looked like kids at Christmas time. I always thought they wanted to shake that reputation, but no they wanted me to bring menus down to the station

Good looking pics Cris. Why would you let chase buy a GM product though

Thats one advantage to being in FL this summer, I dont have to deal with the 4 other kids in my family lol. My littlest sister (shes 7) is coming to stay with me for a little while this summer though, Im actually kinda excited. Me and here get along real well.....guess thats because I never really did grow up

My girls REALLY want those but I told them they can't have 'em yet since their regular DS's are just fine. I'm sure Super Daddy will come to the rescue and get the new one though soon

We had no choice, just sent money and his mom did everything. I give him hell all the time over his little girly car, especially when it's parked next to my truck

I get along with my litter sister pretty good too, she is 14 years younger than I am. My little brother and I can't really stand eachother though..... He is good to my girls though so that's all that matters

Haha, yea I thought so too. I have a friend whos a cop here in MD and one time I saw him coming out of 7-11 with a bag, I assumed they were donuts so I said something about it. Turns out they were bagels. I found out they were bagels when I was hit in the face by them. It was pretty funny, we both had a good laugh out of it.

That's great. I must be the exception to the rule I guess...I'm more of a health nut in a way when it comes to eating.

Haha yea it is kinda a girly car. You should put one of those pink flip flop sticker things on the back of it

My oldest sister (the one who graduated today) me and her DO NOT get along. All I have to do is say "Hi, how are you" and satan takes complete control of her I swear.

Hey everybody, on the subject of electronics, has anybody else heard about Circuit City re-opening? I got an e-mail from them the other day saying that all rights to the company, name, website, distribution, etc. had been bought by another company and they would be slowly re-opening their operations starting with the website and online ordering. Then expanding to the retail stores later on. Just thought I'd share it with all of you.
