[astonamous]

22. Thank you...we love them all.

The pure white dog is a recent addition. He was discarded after not being a good enough fighter. We rescued him from the shelter just hours before they were going to euthenize him. It has taken a few months and several fights to get to this point...



...happy, happy!

[wildhorses]

4. The Sunday paper.

Except the sports section.
Also, the coupons sometimes get me pissed off and riled up, because they demand you "buy TWO" of something in order to save fifty cents. I don't need two. I only need one. I'm not saving any money if I buy two bottles of mustard. I will lose the second before I use up the first.

Yes, I can lose a bottle of mustard. I lost a bottle of pancake syrup this week.

[wildhorses]

love the sunday crossword puzzle :loveya:
