First his appetizer, then his main, and then finally his dessert. All the while with his wife just looking on, not even touching her food. Confused, I approached the woman and asked if there was anything I could get for her. “No thank you,” came her answer, “it’s his turn for the teeth.”

Good morning everyboomie.
It's that time again. We had a super day here, it was warm and breezy.
I didn't do much. I took Missy to the park, and then my friend called and came out for a visit and left Beau with us for a visit.
I messed around a little bit outside just to enjoy the breezy weather.
I spent a couple of hours trying to get UrU Complete to play on this computer. It's been a very long time since I've been able to play it. After spending hours on it today, stacked on top of more hours I spent jacking with it before today, I finally got it to work.
I hate computers.
I hope you all enjoy the new diner and have a fantastic week.
