Suddenly those words have *um* NEW meaning for me.....

I'm in the mood for laughing...just finished reading NSMA's thread on toaster ovens and all that...something she'd bookmarked...hysterically funny......


And now, this......well, I can hardly see my computer screen for the laughter and tears that came along too.....

You are too fucking funny!

I need to get the hell out of here and have my breakfast so I can go to the gym....and see if I can do 30 minutes today....
