    Anyway, I’m not too hungry, Grog, so I’ll just have The Blues Brothers’ Special, and Little Sister’s Chicken Fried Steak with mashed potatoes!!!

Of course, my hubby might get jealous, so I’d have to take that into consideration. Ooooh, I know! If I find an old picture of my hubby without his shirt on, and hang that. Then I’d gross out our sons, and my hubby wouldn’t get jealous.

I am starting to set the kitchen up again [and get rid of more stuff]. I need to brag about it to someone. Everyone here tells me to shut up or they run and hide when they see me. Can’t possibly imagine why.

    I just finished watching Support Your Local Gunfighter. I don’t think I’ve seen a movie with Walter Brennan I didn’t love. He played a great Ike Clanton, too.

    I saw Support Your Local Gunfighter last night. I’ll take Pleshette over Hackett for female leads, but the nod goes to Sheriff because of the casting of the “bad guys”. I’ll take Brennan & Dern over Connors hands down.

    Do you think it’s possible that you could be doing a lot of that, ♥Kab♥?

    Ahm Grog what I can see I think Wildmustang may have started whatever. I’m trying to stay out of what those two are tangling about on words. Reminds me of two old men and I don’t know who they are. Also closly reminds me of someone else no long on GC. Well good night all.

    You mean ancient?

    We all require training too. It doesn’t matter how old we are. All emplyees are required to take a certain amount of hours training. Some is corporate directed, but our managers will determine the remainder. It’s up to our managers to ensure we get at least the required training hours.

    Looks to me like Viper started it at Andy Capp, unless I missed something.
