    Because "I'm going to do pilates" sounds a LOT better than "I'm going to do Joe."

    Thankfully I was not still drinking my soda when I read Oxy's post. I just finally got why people use deer blinds the other day. DH does hunt but prefers the "stalking" method as it is more exercise. Plus he only hunts on his Oma's ranch which is a lovely 1,500+ acres and a nice stroll.

    I really thought deer blinds were for laziness not to be "blind" to the deer. I mean truly I thought the purpose was a place to plant your butt and nothing more. Even though I have been corrected I still think I am right.

    Proud MOB taught me what an Epee was, I feel so worldly this morning.

    Trek- Those key machines are actually terrible. Not necessarily user error, it was one of the most returned items at Lowe's.

    Right now I'm trying to fully understand cognitive dissonance. I must have heard that somewhere on TV too

    Your whole post gave me weird flash backs to college. I must take a nap now, I am fatigued.

    I was in my 30's when I discovered that silos at dairy farms were not used for storing milk.

    It seems to me that about 1/3 of all new made keys these days don't work, so I always check new keys immediately when I get home.
