    Family Addition

    We had a beagle yrs ago. She was great, but, once she had her nose down she was off and running. One of my saddest days is when we had to put her down due to old age. We still have her ashes and a marker in the garden. RIP Stormy.

    I Need To Vent

    @King Bulldog , talking with my Priest always helps me. They talk to a lot of people in grief and have a ton of perspective of life. Couldn't hurt.

I have gotten numb to the job over the years as everyone, customer and employee wants what they want. However, manufacturers pay my bill and have the say in what they will pay. People are rarely, if...

Even have the poster hung up in my media room. I myself try not to watch a movie with a critics eye, just the...
