OUCH!!!

I'm so glad I have vinyl flooring in the fish room here. There's some salt stains on the carpet in the showroom though....

BTW - hardwood is worse - and more expensive!!!

Nope, you didn't - I haven't been around here much lately til the last few days. Tell me a story

I'm on my way home in a minute - kids are out at their dad's so I could use some entertainment... I'll check back in when I get there - just a minute away but I'm stopping to get some fast food I shouldn't be eating... I look forward to some dinnertime entertainment

ONLY people in our hobby can laugh at our investments so readily! I JUST LOVE being MENTAL! THAT will also be my defense IF ever asked about the money I have spent in a court of law, and UNDER oath!
