Are you sure you aren't Nutso Operator?!?!? You are making this up, there was no crackling pine cones... it was all in your head. Or better yet, it was a dream you had, when you fell asleep mid-blowing up something. (that could happen right)
Hehehe... I had to do it, I am one of those not so patiently waiting for Spring to be Sprung.
A man and a woman who had never met before,
but who were both married to other people,
found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a trans-continental train.
Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper berth and she in the lower.
At 1:00 AM, the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying,.......... 'Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I'm awfully cold.'
'I have a better idea,' she replied 'Just for tonight,...... let's pretend that we're married.'
'Wow!...................... That's a great idea!', he exclaimed.
'Good,' she replied. ............'Get your own damn blanket..'
After a moment of silence, .....................he farted.
Love the train story! What kind of fish does your niece's boyfriend sell? That will depend on what kind of recipe you need. The HMO that I go to has a Farmer's market. There is a man there that sells smoked salmon. Expensive but worth every penny.
Good one Gary, good one. As for recipes, I have none, but am going to follow this up to see if anyone else does... so I can jot them down and try them for myself. Oh wait what about a lemon-herbed rub? With some fresh squash?
Is it still morning?! Today is dragging already, but that's because all I've done is pay bills and wait on hold on the phone with our phone/internet/satellite provider-grrrr-they're billing us for a replacement satellite receiver even though we already sent the broken one back-I'm getting more angry by the second!!!!!!!!
I'm up, I'm up, I'm up!!! Been up for hours actually.
ronni--- UGH, I feel for you dear. I HATED dealing with people only ot be put on hol--- err forget. I hope you get things straightened out... and soon, before your patience is out the door.
