Had the a/c set on high and the 40s radio station on in the car for her. And SHE asked ME who was famous for singing "Rags to Riches." Jeez, I don't know.

My mom said Tony Bennett recorded it a long, long time ago.

Officially unemployed.

:D

yeah, I was hoping someone else would do it and I'd just supervise.

Lol... I never noticed this until now, but on my left hand, I go middle finger over index... on my right hand, I go index over middle.

Yeah, what he said. And why?

Just never know what you're going to find out here.

pooflady wrote:Just never know what you're going to find out here.

Lol apparently. I don't know why I do it like that. It's actually a bit difficult for me to do either hand the opposite way.

I can cross either way, but on my right hand that makes the index finger ache in that 'you're getting old and abused the joint on this finger too much' way.

Poor finger.

Poor finger.

I just discovered that I need a little help crossing them. This is depressing.

bless you and your uncorrupted pure mind

Sorry.

That's the only place where i ache, and it really has gotten worse here in the wet cold. No loss of flexibility yet, but damn does it hurt sometimes!

Oh. You're right, of course, my mind is pure.

Certainly in MY mind it is

Hi. Soon to bed, I assume.

Are you taking the same route back?

Is it possible to get XM or Sirius radio in the house? I'd like it for my m-i-l just for the 40s music. Not DirecTV or anything like that. Just a radio.

This time, I went the Interstate to Atlanta and then went west from there. We both agreed that ti was much better today.

Either way, it's a helluva long drive. next time will be with son & ex most likely. Wooo.

That sounds like a barrel of laughs.

Short answer--yes.

There are lots of options.See?
