| Why discussions generate into personal affronts... Oh, where would we all be without a smile and/or chuckle during the course of our day? The OP asked his question and was able to answer it himself before this thread got rolling good in his retort to a poster that he didn't get the humour in. I sa... | |
| Why discussions generate into personal affronts... @dekay , Ginger would require more maintenance and I don't want to work that hard where as Mary Ann has better curves anyway, so Mary Ann. | |
| How have I missed out for soooo long!!!! Great story, thank you for that. Keep enjoying your father's story's and him as they are both treasures. Enjoy the music. | |
