First time my wife caught me refering to her as the OL I had to inform her that it meant "Only Lady". I gotta get points when I can.
Actually, where she was raised OL is a term of endearment also.
I dont mind her refering to me as her "Old Man".

I told 'em I don't mind their folks getting practice and experience when they can, but they can't use any mud whatsoever and if the dent doesn't pull cleanly they have to replace the door skin. They agreed, so I'm not too worried about it. They get it on the 16th, and I'll probably get it back a week later. Here's hoping

Be careful with that wii-thing, we have one here and the kids play some games on it.
But one day, I was looking at some internetforum, daughter was reading and the boy, age 6 was playing wii, he´s pretty loud, commenting on everything, but suddenly BANG, then quiet, me and the daughter both looked at him.
He had his back to us, and when he turned around he was crying LOUDLY, and his mouth was bleeding, I asked what happened, " I hit myself in the face with the controller".

I know it´s not nice to laugh at kids, and he sure don´t like it, but sometimes

It was only his lip that cracked a little, so no damage done, but that was a funny moment, and now, `bout 6 months later, he can see the fun in it too

Happy new year

Coffee & ph00 status; ready.

I'm not talking to Scott until next year.

Wii...I watched friends play this one time. They were playing tennis.
I watched the wife ring the family jewels so hard that its the first time I have ever seen a tennis player

wicked back hand...game over.

Thanks to all on this site. Its been a different year for me and I have learned lots...in areas I really did not want to learn from. Any lesson has value, as long as I learn from it.

Morning 2011ers!

Can't believe another year is almost gone. The last couple of new years I get a little nostalgic, a little sad that a year went by. I think about all the things I haven't done. Is that normal?

Well... I wouldn't say they are 'friends'... they'll do it because I tell them to, and I give them beer... and I agree, I need more tools!

Classic!

Mornin. Good morning so far, hot tub, coffee, breakfast, room is cleaned nice, laundry going, bout to go run, then slay myself a little with a weight or two, then I'm going to cut the kids hair and work on a jeep. Bowling later.

Not planning on celebrating the new year, I actually want to be productive tomorrow. That, and I bet there are going to be a thousand calls tonight.

Be safe!

But Chaikwa only did that because he threw a party in there while you were gone Lary. They totally trashed the place so he HAD to clean it up.
