I guess I could about sum up the whole post ...Wow. I guess I could about sum up the whole post with "Skippy".<br /><br />Yes I understood your post perfectly, as always. Believe me, I have a son that combined the first and last names of his favorite player on his favorite team Sunday and turned "Asdrubal Cabrera" into "Cadrubal". Moments later, he turned "Zack Cozart" into "Zack Coastguard". You really think I'd have problems with what you type?<br /><br />The whole thing is you have a weakness for smartasses. And I'm a pro. My sister taught me from the cradle. Snark got me this far in life.<br /><br />And really, Al and I ought to do a combined post someday. He's a lotta fun to play off of- just ask Juli about soap nuts.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-50290537617658207292013-04-15T11:22:18.870-04:002013-04-15T11:22:18.870-04:00Besides - who would you have to leave lo-o-o-ng co...Besides - who would you have to leave lo-o-o-ng comments with a bazillion typos, left out words and comma abuse, if not for me.<br /> <br />How am I doing so far? OMGoodness I just reread the above comment and if you can make sense of it [haven't even taken my meds yet today. wait. maybe that is the problem?] Anyway - if YOU can make sense of it then it will explain completely why we are such good pals. <br /> <br />Good luck! ::laughing::SkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-72367321720543060942013-04-15T11:19:05.245-04:002013-04-15T11:19:05.245-04:00Aw heck, I keep you around because for the simple ...Aw heck, I keep you around because for the simple fact you make me laugh. I have had some pretty dreary days this past few and it never fails as I am trying to get a bit of my Skippy on I see a comment from you and I start laughing even I open it.<br /> <br />I can't even remember how we met, but I sure am glad we did, because I love so many things about your blog and by extension, of course, you. The time machine is always a great read and a share with Pooldad and your Sunday postings teach me so much of what I have yet to learn. I would love to be able to post as eloquently as you do on such an important subject but if I tried it would probably come out looking like "God. He's cool." giggle So I leave it to the wonderfulness that is you.<br /> <br />You're the best and I can't wait for the next one thousand, if only to read your responses [like the one to Al above] to your friends in comments. Brilliant.<br /><br />As ms nk rey said, I am so glad to know you Chris. We all are here in the pond.

In our case, we first set out to blog just to promote ourselves, but in the process we found so many people we care about. So many people that I now regularly contact by e-mail, or Facebook, or text message, just to see how they're doing.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-15946123333950804232013-04-11T07:45:22.083-04:002013-04-11T07:45:22.083-04:00Congratulation on 1000 posts.
