Don't forget your meds today, as evidently happened yesterday.
Now that you have called me stupid twice I sure wish I would have forgone the 8 years of secondary education and went turning wrenches at an RV dealership, so you do have me in that LOT smarter regard I suppose. I would of liked to have done that for 40 years as opposed to where I ended up, being retired at 52.
