This thread is supposed to be for fun, there was nothing wrong with that pic. It was up for 2 days and no one complained about it.

The whole reason there was a call for a new mod by the people in these lower forums, (which turned out to be you), was because we wanted someone who understood the lower forums and the people who posted in them. That hasn't happened, you're just another mod doing the same old same old. Maybe you should find a new sand box to play in and leave this thread for people to have some fun. Maybe you can go start a Burka thread in the mod lounge.

Unfortunately this thread falls under Ewok's rules. I'm not sure why you're making this a personal thing. I'm just doing what the site admin wants.

Went to reunion, drank blue margaritas, ate food, dodged old flames, hugged old besties, got down to some Bel Biv Devoe and Journey and Nirvana, dandled babies, now home with aching feet and some ace memories. Bittersweet doesn't even begin to describe it all.

I'm down with BBD but had to look up dandled. I am not what you would call 'educated'.

Calling Teddy B! How was the trip????

Did they allow you back across the border with all those cheap Canuck prescription drugs??????

Yes I/we made it! We got back on Sunday, I had yesterday off and am back at work today. We had a great time, it was nice to see Wifey's family again. Her 2 year old Grandson is a total hoot! I am glad to be done with all the driving though. We got hit with some of the worst downpours I've ever seen in upstate NY while driving down I-87, I could barely see the front of our vehicle let alone the car in front of me. Good thing everyone was smart and had their flashers on, driving speed was about 20mph for 30 mins or so. Threw the diet out the window for the week, it was great to eat again! Stopped at every greasy spoon we possibly could, poutine was awesome!

Doggy was very happy to see me when I picked her up at the kennel yesterday, humped my leg but good!

I got a fantastic deal on Canuck meds, loaded up good. Not sure why I've got hair growing on the palms of my hands and bottoms of my feet now though. I better go see my Doc, I'm sure he will prescribe something good.
