Win some/lose some, but if the gov't can make us change our clocks by an hour twice a year, then why can't you get 20 minutes twice per week?

Ooohhhh.. a tuffy... but... why put yourself through all that unneccessary pain? unless it's some horrific channel (oprah comes to mind).. then jus suck it up and watch, take a nap.. then make him change channels for you as he massages your painful side cramp away. :yes:

shower..quicker and more effective

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

I've been wondering, so this is a good place...

What's the meaning of life?

:lol: OH YEAH! and while you think on that one a minute...

I've been really sick of my long hair just hanging there. Should I get a big curl perm or a just a wave in it? hmmmmm.
