    Ya, when we were back there in early winter, I got my fill of 'em when we stopped for the night in Des Moines. Some valid points, but comedy at best in many cases. Can't wait'll they land here so I can have a valid excuse to watch more sports programming...

    ^^ OK guys while this is likely just another day for most... Some need to focus and put down the lid, open the car door, hold the elevator, get a dozen red roses and don't forget that candle-lit dinner reservation! Today is ALL about her!!!

    Do you feel lucky? Well, do ya?? I'm in. :Thumbsup:

    Great point, as there's certainly plenty to go-round I suppose, but I'll stick with my Irish gal. That's as International as I'll remain. :beer
