    Congrats to Pigpen and family, flip that was quick. :rotfl:

    Congrats to Pollybear.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
