Good morning everyboomie.
Welcome to Monday!
What's for breakfast? I'm ready for some eggs and meat. If you have some, then meet at the breakfast table, or the lunch table, or the dinner table, or the coffee table.
I like my eggs cooked.............just about anyway.
If you don't have eggs and meat, then I'll have a double cheeseburger please.
If not that, then how about pizza?
I feel my arteries hardening.
Have a happy day everyone.
