*wiggles eyebrows at Andy* Enjoy the coco.
*giggle* Bec, around here it's called Frozen Dairy Products. I think we need to have a side conversation on the use of the word Icecream around here. The last time I used it ... well let's just say that I still hear about it.

But...Pat said it first!!! I'll just have to
him for it!!! And it was a moot point anyway cause the kids had eaten all of my 'Frozen Dairy Product.'
Oh...Pat...I just caught that apparently you were saying that I was made of Milo!!! Does that mean that you think I'm sweet???
Awww..shucks!!! So do you think I'd be scrum on .....'Frozen Dairy Product?'

I was reading about your weather in your intro, I'm so glad that I don't live in tornado alley anymore. We just had to put up with a lot of rain and 75 mph of wind. I count myself lucky that I didn't lose my electricity like they did a block over.

We very rarely have things like this either...that's why it's such a shock!
The last time that we had anything remotely this bad with tornadoes was in 1984...the year I graduated from freakin' high school!!!
I just came back from picking up Brandi from school and went out to check out my pond....it was about 2 or 3 feet below the dam yesterday and is now running over....I now have a waterfall and a stream...saved a few fish...one of them was probably a 6 or 7 pound Bass!!! Would have loved to have pulled him out on a rod but, not have him washed over the dam!!! He was NOT a happy fishie!!! Much happier now, I'd say!

Doing the dance thing this Friday. Maybe Saturday, not sure about that one yet. Want to come and do my laundry?
Bec, you can send me the bass. Just gut and clean him and then send him express mail in dry ice. Bass sounds real good right now.

Hey, Patrick, while you're at it would you like to do mine as well?
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

Sorry, Gidg! I tossed him back in the pond. You'll just have to come and toss in a line and see if you can pull him back out.
Oh, and I DO know how to clean fish...learned when I was about 5 or 6, I guess. Was so long ago that I disremember!!!

Hey Gidg,
Have a martial arts workshop tomorrow. So does that count as dancing?
Nope, the only woman I wash for is my wife.
Sunday is our first anniversary.

WOW! It looks like yesterday was cleaning day for most everyone.Don't worry Bec, cleaning fish is like riding a bike. Once you start you'll remember how to do it.
I'm waiting for my fish. Growing old is mandatory; growing up is NOT.

Yeah...we have the shoes too, but the Hush Puppies that I was referring to are made with cornmeal....you make a batter and then drop a spoonful into hot oil and they're all nice and crispy and.....yummmmmm!!!

Around here the Catfish are considered garbage fish, they stay small and are no where near the size of channel cats. I've had catfish before, I just can't seem to get past the garbage fish part.
Sign me up for the Bass!!!!
