Okay. I have plenty of comments here. #6. Of course you have ridges! You hate milk! That's a no brainer. Drink all that milk mom always has around. ps. It's good for you!
#18. Mini cooper? really? never would have thought.
#26. the haircut thing? I probably shouldn't even ask, should I???
#32. Funny that you say you LOVE reading, yet you might get through only 4 100 pg books a year. Usually that's when people hate reading..:)
#40. I'd like to know more about your side interest/business interest. I had no idea.
#48. You have a journal!?! Really??
#57. I must be your daughter. I bought a book of just house plans. For no other reason than I love looking at them in my spare time! I also find a bunch online and print them off and file them. no real reason.
#73. Poor Mans casserole has got to be the worst punishment for our bellies! I have never had a more disgusting dish of "food"!
#91. I thought the quote was "use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without." Either you or your parents have got it wrong. :) I have it memorized from their house. Also I have memorized, "Vice is a monster of so freightful mein, as to be hated needs but to be seen. Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face, we must endure, then pity, then embrace." Don't ask. I guess I get bored over there sometimes!!
Thanks for the info dad! I learned some new things about you! (you're still a punk for choosing Rylan though. argh!)
oops, its we FIRST endure, not must endure. ah.
Well melinda started it all i think but.. i still agree that she has to do rylan. And what wrong signal are you sending with your glasses? And you should get on that butchering your own meat and butcher something when sam gets a new family!
What? Butcher something when I get a new family? What is that supposed to mean?
haha sorry i meant to say when you get married when your inlaws come dad can make them raccoon or somthing.
