I'd be ready to chop the first head off. Sometimes, it feels better just to be supportive.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-26237836325433566162014-06-02T20:17:09.324-04:002014-06-02T20:17:09.324-04:00I think, if we look back, almost everyone in charg...I think, if we look back, almost everyone in charge has the "Well, I did my job... let's hope nothing happens" attitude at the start of a war.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by today... jokes are okay... trust me, Tony's "being supportive" has included the mentioned sugar straight from the jar, a special trip to Lindt, and stocking the house with ice cream... you know... for the boys. I'm sure I can handle some of your wise crackin :)Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097214923216967086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-6250417898433113152014-06-02T15:57:23.037-04:002014-06-02T15:57:23.037-04:00Thanks.

I think that when you have read so much on a subject (like me on this) it really helps you know where to look for the really good stuff.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-51395273164036924182014-06-02T13:56:44.907-04:002014-06-02T13:56:44.907-04:00Chris:
