I knew I shouldn't have checked in here... they're disrespecting my Sears' catalogue all willy-nilly and without regard.
I'm going to go join the "crying bunch" back in the Second Take.

i'm taking 3 at home today...bad cold snuck up on me from out of the blue. Probably from visiting my son's school which might be infested with all sorts of germ carrying organisms affectionately known as "middleschool children" He was on 3 day suspension (no joke, it was "3"!!!) for making a bad joke with the word "bomb" in it. They love him but rules are rules in this "zero tolerance" world.
