Are a breakfast burrito....

You're a breakfast burrito, huh man?

Hillbilly loves them. Don't lie.....

Why would anyone eat a little burro? The meat is VERY tough, was served it in Peru man.

Now I'm eating a McDonald's Many'rd pounder

Ingestion item corrected, sigh man.

Tarklar time has been cancelled.

And it's no longer a part of our daily scheduled program....

You raaaaaaang, huh man?

1. :( That is rough. I second the Ontarkie suggestion of the fertility doctor. We would have never gotten pregnant without our reproductive endocrinologist.

2. Speaking of which, the Dane has been pushing for us to try again now. Too soon, too soon.

1. Is this Fallopian chat, huh ma'am?

2. It's NEVER too soon, no ma'am -- ask Ontarklar, fecund D ma'am.

There's nobody here to make fun of.....
