I like the new ad for Overstock.com!!!
Rabbit, great answers.
Man, it's WAY to early for me to be thinkin'. I'll get back to ya - and at ya :)
Arrrrrrrrrrgh! DAYS, I tell you, it took me DAYS to answer that stuff! And Rabbit just whips it out like nothing, with great answers to boot!
And my DEAR sister Holly, well, you see what she had to say. Not a pat on the back or anything for all the trouble she caused me.
I am SO mistreated.
You're such a good sport, Rabbit, thank you (and I liked the extra at the end). I expected a certain someone to give me grief about you and Cait, but it did say Blogger friends, not that you had to have a blog. So, your Highness, as opposed to Hollyness, don't wimp out!
Feh.
Took me about 20 minutes. I was logged in a lot longer than that, as I stopped in the middle to go play with the dogs and cats for awhile, then came back and finished it up. At least I wasn't on call over the weekend.
I don't know why it decided to double-post, though.
Regards,
Rabbit.
Whiner!
Ok, it took you FORFREAKIN'EVER to do it, but you finally did complet the assignment. If you were the BGiT, you'd have gotten grounded, you do know that, right?
And since of the the 3 things you were doin' was cussin me, why should I say nice things?
I am super envious of the 3 things you can do.
And I still love you, even when you cuss me.
ROF, I had to come back and see what I said I could do. The light fixture was actually pretty easy. So easy that LOVI helped with the first one. Pick out a new fixture and we'll install it next time I'm down.
Holly, did you see what Rabbit can do? Maybe he can take care of OUR tumors!!
But, but then they couldn't talk to each other. What are you, NUTS? Oh, yeah, that question kinda answers itself, doesn't it, My Lovely MPD Saint Sistah?
