Val,
I admittedly only skimmed the posts in this thread but so help me God-I want to see a post from you in the very near future hoisting a mammoth gator out of a boat with a big smile plastered on your face or perhaps a new line of your designer luggage that makes your small business suddenly rival Louis Viton (sp?)
How about a positive post from you-Oh I don't know. Did any of our Southern states turn up Ol' Sparky and really cook some degenerate good that had it coming to them where only a squeegy and a mop were necessary for the prison clean-up detail. No?
How's about a suicide bomber that accidentally blew themselves to bits in a crowded room of their fellow raghead terrorist leaders?

See, all positive news. If you look hard enough-I just know you'll dig up something good.
If I didn't know any better, I'd swear that you were taking over for TBO! I'm not a carpet sweeper by any stretch of the imagination but sometimes the more a person dwells on the negative, the more depressed it can make you. There's days that I can't even make through the local news to get to the weather because the news reports suck so bad that I have to just turn the television off.
Get off the darn 'puter and go on out and have some fun this summer-ya here?!!!
