Thanks for your presidential vote!

LOL, great minds think alike! Good morning to you too.

Hi Dolly, What it be like blood? How do you get rid of weed disease? I have weird looking stuff spreading all across my front and back lwans like crazy? Do you think weed killer gonna work?

Hey Dolly, Doing pretty good here. Got a lot of turmoil in the plant I work. Short range plans are to "idle" half our process, which will cause probably 175 +/- souls to leave. It's hard on everyone. I've been there since '81...some longer...some less..but anytime this kind of thing there's such a mixture of emotions. You being into the gradening and green thumb mindset, thought I'd share this. A lil guy, grade school just came up seeling candles for his church. I bought a jasmine and a honeysuckle jar. :) I was just this morning thinking of how good it is to catch that smell on the way home after work. I would love to find a candle that had the essence of kudzu. To me that is the sweetest, most calming smell there is...yet I've never seen in sold in candle or potpurri form.I guess us Sothrons just like our smells fresh and real, and not processed and bottled.Like Hog Heaven on I40 going thru Sampson County. An uncle once told me it smelled like money to him... ;) It's all perspective.

hmmm...so you're a "compassionate democrat"? ;) Did you get vetted for that position or was it inherited? LOL Just yankin' yer chain. Have a Great Day!

We took my 4 year old to see her 1st movie "horton hears...Who". She got up front afterwards and started doing a dance. This Friday, I'm going to see the Rolling Stones new release "Shine A Light" at the IMAX 2pm. Did you see Kylie Minoge on Dancing with the Stars last night? I like her.

Yea, I agree on the Oceans series. I haven't seen Catch Me If You Can.

That's with Leonardo DiCaprio... right?

Also, I have not seen any good movies lately. The one movie I want to see though more then anything is "21" that movie looks amazing. Of course, I love those gambling/card counting type of movies. Anytime I hear about something similar to card counting/gambling on TV I am watching it.

oooo well I am glad to hear that you are up and moving again!!! That pic of Stallone I mostly put it up because of the veins. I was like... WHOAAAAAA!!!! Someone needs to put down the Human Growth Hormones and just step away from the HGH. lol. But everything has been going good for me. Just trying to get through each day and get all my work done. The usual lol.

Hey DSicks, how are you doing today? Hope all has been going well!!!
