There is nothing like a waiting room for really finding things out.

Your one-stop shop for all the news that is news. Keep up the good work. You're saving me a ton of time. (Good thoughts to Stace. Remember, under no circumstances should she sneeze.)

Hoo boy, Stacey. I'm tellin' ya, you must have a bunch of pioneer stock in your gene pool. Good God, Gertie, you must be made of tougher stuff than me - and I'm Texan! Many wishes for your recovery. I have had a hernia surgery, and I really understand - a little. Mine was not nearly so complex or large.

Bill, this little blog story calls up a conversation my daughter had with the exterminator guy who assessed their attic rat problem: "Waa'll, if yew put up traps, you might not get 'em all, but if yew poison 'em, 'ems gonna stank."

Definitely, the Wal-Mart in question is "gonna stank" big time.

I think Cowtown Pattie's comment deserves a post of its own. LOL!

Oh man, I gotta good 'un for after Easter. Will wait a bit, cause the subject of "butt-crackin'" might be better fodder after the Easter Bunny has hopped on outta here. Bill, this has a legal twist, so I know you'll wanna tune in. Check with me long 'bout Tuesday.
