[QUOTE=Most Creative User Name Ever] Acutally it was my husband. He is spending $10 a month on something that I think is pointless, so I decided to spend $15 a year here. [/QUOTE] very equitable - because, after all, this is $5 less pointless than his thing. ---

I failed Driver’s Ed the first time, passed it the second time, and got my license when I was 17. In other news, I just got my car registration tags, so I’m legal for another year. **McOne** , glad you joined, the goat and squid are in Room 101.(Traffic court is Room 102 in the Wake County Courthouse). **Mork** , does the evil ice cream truck look like [this](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Twisted_Metal_cover.jpg)? Rosie, I agree with **BBBobbio** , let 'em hang if you get in trouble for helping. ---

Back home, with my baby and future baby-son-in-law. It took them almost an hour and a half to get their bags, allegedly due to construction at BWI. We stopped on the way home for a late lunch, then ran into WalMart, so it was after 3 before we got to the house. LOOOOOOONG day for me in the car. Welcome to the MMP, **trmatthe** , and happy b-day to you!! I want ice cream. Surprise! 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Anaamika] Oh, I guess I can say in my defense that I’ve never been in an accident since. And I pride myself, Haze, on not driving like an Asian. 😛 I yell at Asians who drive badly. [/QUOTE] I don’t drive that badly. I can’t park. I’m fine as long as I don’t have to park. Currently occupied with trying to plan a road trip with Scottish Darling. Main problem is, we don’t have cars. I am getting a headache trying to coordinate buses and planes and whatnot. Ack. What does one learn in a pleasure class, anyway? On second thought, never mind. Happy birthday and welcome, **trrmatthe**! ---

[QUOTE=Ellen Cherry] OK, I miss a few MMP posts and am just now discovering **swampus** is working at a BREWERY?? :eek: Why am I not surprised. 😛 I toured the Anheiser Busch brewery in St. Louis one time in Hot July, and they gave us TWO beers at the end, instead of just one because it was so hot and all. ::smacks lips:: [/QUOTE] **Ellen** n A-B must hereafter be referred as _The Brewery That Shall Not Be Mentioned_. :dubious: Can you say… **IT’S MILLER TIME!!!** Welcome **trr**! I suppose I shall have to sing to both **rigs and you** tomorrow then. 😃 Today was all about health and safety and environmental concerns. Tomorrow is the rest of health and safety. WOO AND HOO! Welcome home **ThePerfectChild**![sup]TM[/sup] ACBG and I went out for a quick supper ant then he had to go home and do paperwork poor thing. That’s why I’m just postin’ now.
