THANKS BRO!!!!!!! I don't have to buy you a ticket. You already bought the book; it looks like you can afford your own stuff..

. I'm doing OK, but the dogs had to go hungry for a few days so I could afford the book. Don't they look starved?

This I can't do (although I would), as I have another person in the house that is an eBay addict *sigh*

Kiteman

Reply 12 years ago

You average about one project a month. I average about two a month. You average about four comments a day. I average about 10. You post just over a topic per month. I post about about 7. I have no life...

not to mention the fact that i do do volunteer youth work. I manage to fit ibles in, by sleeping less, and not watching tv, i also reduced my daily blog crawl from about 25 blogs down to 5.
