Tuesday already?

My morning began early as we had to get to church to help with the newsletter assembly with Linda J. As I sat at the kitchen table waiting for the time to depart, I got a text from Justin with the simple statement: "Tucked or untucked" on it. Obviously, a "Seinfeld" reference. Once I answered him, my phone rang as he called me to discuss the episode that brought this to mind. He was thinking about the show where Jerry had nitrouos oxide at the dentist and felt he may have been violated while under the influence. Justin had a cleaning scheduled for this a.m. so that is why he thought of it. Justin is correct, every thing has a "Seinfeld" reference in life!!! He is looking forward to camping outside all night to be first in line for sales at Best Buy, but not for his own purposes---but as a surrogate!

*

Linda has a regular crew lined up to come for this monthly task of assembling the newsletter, even makes muffins to feed her hungry helpers. They are really supposed to begin at 9:00 a.m. but these ladies vie with one another to see who can get there first so the time gets moved and moved some more....Thankfully Linda is a good sport and manages to have things well in hand by the time the early arrivals show up.

*

Once finished, Pastor R. came around to put the letters in the member's mailboxes to pick up on Thursday or Sunday. Then he joined us ladies for some coffee and fellowship, which is so nice. We had a good chat, and then Pastor S. came in for coffee as well. When I saw Todd, the janitor, I leapt to my feet to give him a hug hello. He is a dear man. Someone commented that Pastor S. did not get a hug when he came in but he said, "Well, I got two on Sunday so that's okay..." They had warned him about me already in September....gotta love that!

*

Linda helped me to fax some documents to Travis for my insurance application, then Mom and I left to go to Wal*Mart. She had another prescription to pick up and while she did that, I wandered into the ladies clothing department to see the sweaters. My closet did not cough up many cold weather garments so I had determined to get some up here, makes sense, right? In short order, I found two lightweight sweater tops and a pair of jeans, checked out, and chatted with the checkout lady before Mom came rolling along with her scrip. We headed for home then, no other business to take care of today. Linda had invited me to her Evening Circle but I declined, planning to use the time to pack my suitcase again for going to Lori's in the morning. First to Judy's and then to Lori's!

*

Lynn came by after doing some shopping and watched "Jeopardy" with Mom and me before she went home for the night. I went to Jill's on the 2nd floor to use her printer again, trying to find Judy's house on the mapquest website. Nope, according to them, no such place exists! But I KNOW it does, I have been there! Guess I will have to call her when I get close to Holmen so she can either lead me in over the phone or with her car! I think I need a Garmin!

Let the fun begin!

Or, rather, continue! Monday morning and I am awaiting the arrival of my sis-in-law, Mona, who is going to come up to see Mom’s place and then we are going to have breakfast. Like with Linda J., we always have words leftover, too! Mona grew up only blocks from here so this is her former stomping ground. This afternoon Mom and I are going to see her neurologist together so I can ask questions if I wish to. Now I almost feel like I should after the dream I had last night…
*
Here we go on another dream trip with Kim! This time my friend who is a counselor (Tracy, maybe??? Or Jami, from Amarillo???) gets me as a patient as I became----confused, perhaps? See? I cannot even put into words the sensation I was experiencing in the dream, though I am not surprised at this. She becomes adversarial toward me, dismissive, probably more client/patient than friend. Given my mental state I was likely misreading everything.
*
I was still married in the dream, and my spouse was taking me to a session and on the way up the stairs I sat down and sobbed my heart out because I felt so badly about this happening to me. I feared I would start using filthy, horrible language and no one would like me anymore, or even recognize me with such language and attitude. Hmmm, it just occurred to me that I spoke with my friend from church on Saturday, whose hubby has early onset Alzheimer’s disease which might have triggered this dream.
*
Because I stopped on the steps to cry, I was late to the therapy session and no one acknowledged me as my spouse was already there, left me on the steps to sob. She kept talking without breaking stride, as though I was not there, but a bit later, tossed a booklet my direction which slipped into the water where we were all floating. Okay, this is weird….I grabbed it and saw it was a project she and I had been working on together until I became ill, with her tossing it to like indicating I was done. Now is when the inappropriate language should come forth, but did not. It is the sensation of not having control (I do have control issues!!!) of my mouth and mind that leaves me so frustrated and frightened, and would you, most likely, as well.
*
Mom and I might go do some shopping after her doctor visit, if she feels like it. I want to get as much done as possible while I am “home” to avoid having to ship at CHRISTmas time. On Facebook I read where some people have nearly finished their shopping already and have also wrapped their gifts. Like a game, it is like a contest to see who can buy the earliest and wrap the soonest, to say “DONE!” before all the others. I just don’t want to have to ship, that’s all. Other times I have purchased through Penney’s who will deliver to the home, and for extra fees, gift wrap and label for the shopper. Nice! I certainly cannot ask Mom to do that for me. We are only shopping for the kids on my side of the family as a rule, but rule breakers may also buy for anyone in their home on CHRISTmas Day (try to stop me!).
*
I have names on the exchange list with the other side of my family to shop for, seemingly easy ones, plus the nieces and nephew. Many ideas are circulating through my brain already but will wait to make decisions until I am in the store. I love the flurry of activity.
*
Tonight I am meeting Dolly for dinner at the Green Street Tavern---my first visit there since getting into town Friday night. THAT must be some kind of record! Dolly said she had not eaten there since we did during the springtime visit so she is due for some wonderful perch and great times together. Speaking of great times, I must get ready for Mona’s arrival. Have a blessed day all, and keep your language clean!

I hope I remember how to do this!

It has been days since I posted on my daily blog---hmmm, what is up with that??? Friday was spent pretty much traveling, where, thankfully, my knee held up nicely for my walk-about through the Atlanta airport. Another man traveling from Jax with me was in the same boat (all sorts of transportation that day!) as we sought our departure gate. The boarding pass for the 2nd leg had absolutely zero information other than a flight number and none of those matched the monitors. One person at least directed us correctly to the D concourse but once there, no Delta personnel could lead us to the gate. Finally I asked the same lady twice and she happened to be talking with a man who worked for the airport, and he knew exactly where we had to go. Midwest Airlines has one departure gate in the entire concourse and I would have certainly missed it if this man had not spoken up. I was so glad to have had two hours between flights or I would certainly have missed it. Instead of walking the airport I could have taken the cart ride, but had no idea of where to tell the driver I was going!

*

Justin picked me up Friday morning for the airport, right on time, in fact, called me to make sure I was up! All things were ready to go and he carried the bag of discarded clothes downstairs for me while I wheeled the suitcase. He was dropping the bag off at Brenda N's house for her friends and her to take to the Bahamas for the poor people. I had already taken a wheeled tote bag to Brenda at work Thursday so they could at least start loading their luggage around my donations. Another person had given her sheets to take to the families Brenda knows there so they will have an early CHRISTmas this year!

*

Justin was given my permission to raid the fridge when he came back over later that day so he relieved me of sandwich meat, cheese, leftover soup, and whatever else was not tied down or already decaying. He called me to ask if I had meant to leave my laptop behind and I told him I did, since I can use this machine when here and Lori's when at her house. Justin said he was relieved to hear I said yes because he was concerned about how he would ship it to me safely.

*

Friday night, now, Lisa and the boys came up to Manty after work and school, and joined us for dinner at Time Out. Jill took a break from packing and moving to have dinner, too, and took some dinner home for Danny. I had my first meal of perch right away Friday night, got it out of the way (te he he!) and got to spend time with Lynn, Jill, Lisa, the boys, and Mom, of course. It was too noisy for Mom to hear anything said at the table, so in the future, she will have to sit in the middle so she can hear better. Time Out is noisy which works well with little boys, but they are so well behaved that it does not really matter. Mostly I like that place because seating larger groups like ours is not a huge problem.

*

Saturday a.m. Lynn, Mom, and I walked, yes, walked, to the corner coffeeshop for coffee or soda and a piece of bakery from breakfast. Lynn had already washed a couple loads of clothes and hung them on the line before coming over to Mom's. Busy bee! Once we got back here, Mom and I went to the beauty shop for her haircut which she again wanted cut like mine. Last time that did not really work out because she was reluctant to do the styling but this time has promised to do what she must to make it look soft and feminine. From there we went to Wal*Mart for Mom's prescription and for me to do some shopping. I was making lunch for the movers and then also made supper for us. Mom's scrip was delayed so we had to wait another 20 minutes for the refill, while she ended up with the original medication at the end anyway. It worked out better as far as her deductible went but--yikes!, it was expensive. Jill had agreed to come up to Mom's (from the 2nd floor) to apply her drops twice a day so Mom can be sure they go into her eyes and not waste a drop of the liquid gold!

*

The move took place with me serving as door holder for the movers, which had three men plus Lisa and Lynn doing the hauling. I am so thankful Lisa and Noah came up, because even the boys did more hauling and running the stairs than I did! Little Manny came up to me with a trash can which held the cat food, and he showed me what he was carrying. He said, "It's heavy but I can do it!" and up the steps he went with this kitchen-sized can, almost taller than he is! I cannot express how much I love these boys! Gabe was pushing the wheeled carts loaded with boxes to elevator and loved to push the buttons to make it go up. (The other night he sang the first stanza of "Away in the Manger" for us...)

*

Lynn and I went down to Jill's after cleaning up our late lunch which we ate at Mom's to help get beds made and boxes removed. Lynn and I made Jill's bed and she did Danny's while I busied myself in the kitchen getting things put to right. By the time she got back after taking the moving truck back, the kitchen looked nice, she could walk through it and find the counters, and she dismissed us. We came back up to Mom's then and Lynn headed for home. She took some of the hot beef and pork I made for dinner along with her to eat later. I put the ice pack on my knee for a bit while enjoying the recliner and then Mom and I had a sandwich with the delicious meat. Not 20 minutes later did Jill call, asking if we had anything to eat because she was hungry! Certainly I did, and made up a "wimpie" sandwich for her as well. The meat roasting during the day smelled good all the way down the hall....mmm! Alayna came over to Mom's after she got done working, she had helped with the loading of the truck on Jill's end before going to work. Her daddy is hunting but he left her fixed up as far as food goes, even so far as pre-frying bacon for her BLT sandwiches, her favorite! She opted to go home to sleep instead of staying with us but we will see her this morning at church.

*

My original plan had been to be in Jill's apartment to meet the furniture as it came up and then wipe it down, dust, polish or whatever it needed before it was set in place. Since Hannah was upstairs with Bryson, she said she would do this job so I stayed downstairs to mind the door, building policy, so no interlopers enter the building. I met a few of Mom's, and now Jill's, neighbors which was fun but no one unauthorized got in. If they did, I gave them something to carry up with them!

*

Lynn and I are going to watch the Packer game today and Lisa said she might come up to watch with us. She is both a 49's fan and Packer fan so she is in a win-win situation. Those wimpie sandwiches will be a delight again today as the longer they sit, the better they get. The little boys clobbered my hullless popcorn yesterday so I might have to restock before the game. At the coffee shop I bought a tiny bag of puppy chow which I am nursing along, not to eat it all in one sitting. Lynn stocked the fridge here with Diet Coke but much of that went yesterday, too, with the movers, so I will need to keep an eye on that supply.

*

My phone went off yesterday with a call from Florida for a prayer chain request on behalf of one of our members who fell and broke her hip. Oh, my! I made my calls in the evening when things were quiet here and then also received another call from Kelly T. who asked me to pray about the voting going on in Washington last night. Oh well.....hopefully the prayers for Mary's speeding recovery from the broken hip will be an affirmative one!

I sure did not "kneed" this now!

But when is it ever good to have knee problems? Last time I was heading north it was my weary back giving me a fit and this time, my knee is acting up. Some of my friends think I might be allergic to traveling to WI! Or even NYC, since I had a gimpy knee when Lynn, Justin and I went to the Macy's ThanksLiving Day parade in 2004.

*

It all started when I was at the pediatrician's office with A'Keila. The only seats in the small waiting room were low upholstered benches, about the height and shape of a bench-style backseat in a car. The appointment was at 8:45 and they were taken back to the exam room in short order. I had my Bible study booklet with me and read through that while waiting but more and more people were coming with kids, making it difficult to read. Jill called me and the signs on the wall, walls covered with handmade notices, said not to use cell phones in the waiting room, so I went outside. At least I tried to---my knee locked up and begged me not to walk on it. Eventually I worked the popped knee into place and got outside to talk to Jill.

*

I kept working it back and forth as I stood in the sun by my car, feeling quite upset that this had to happen now, when I am ready to go on a trip. Another sign in the office said "No food or drinks" so I took my unopened soda with me outside and sat in the car in the sun. Nice and warm in there! By now, it was getting to be nearly 9:45 a.m., and I looked up in time to see a nicely dressed man enter the office from a side door on the building. My thought was, "This had better not be the doctor, first showing up now!" An hour after Sheila's scheduled appointment, the doctor shows up at the office. Huh? About 30 minutes later, the two came out of the office and got in the car. I asked Sheila is the doctor was Caucasian and she said he was (most of the staff and patients were not white). I told her what I saw and she said she wondered why she had to sit back there so long. He might have been making rounds or something medically related, but it still seems inconsiderate to have patients with sick children, waiting over an hour before he is even in the building.

*

As we drove off, I noticed she had prescriptions in her hand and asked if we should stop at the drug store on the way home. Sheila said, "No, but can you drop us off at Wolfson?" I asked, incredulously, "Wolfson? Downtown? The children's hospital???" That was hardly on the way home, but, of course, I would take them there. The doctor wanted to have A'Keila's lungs x-rayed to see if she has pneumonia, but it seems to me a place in Orange Park could do that for her, right? Well, I am guessing Wolfson accepts the Medicaid insurance Sheila has for her granddaughter, which would not pay for her transportation to the pediatrician. A paperwork glitch occurred which is why I was taking them to appointments.

*

After I got them downtown and deposited, I asked about the child's seat, still in my car. She did not want to take it with her because she was not sure how they would get home...ouch! I told her I would take it to church with me later and leave it just inside the door. I stopped at SteinMart and hobbled in with my returns. My other plans to take down the Luther display could wait until before choir, as I just wanted to get home.

*

My health insurance was due for renewal the 8th of next month and I figured I would take care of that in the afternoon. Not so fast! While I have used this same short-term insurance since my COBRA ended in 2005, they are not all that anxious to take me back! I reapply every year like a new client, not an actual renewal, which is not untypical with individual policies. So, now the search is on for a new policy for me, in a short period of time. More to fret about!

*

Last night I met Suzanne for dinner and was walking fairly well. Jessica, my upstairs neighbor who borrowed a cup of Internet a week ago, has her Masters Degree in physical therapy and I called her to pick her brain about the knee thing. She assured me over the phone and later in person, to keep walking on it, exercise it and the muscle in the thigh which supports the knee cap, etc. No wrapping it up, though, which was the reason I had called her in the first place. It would be like putting a cast on a broken bone not properly set---you stop the flopping but is not healing. After choir rehearsal, which we whipped through, I came home and changed my pants to capris so Jessica could see what she was working with. She had me lie down on the lounge chair and manipulated, worked, twisted, asked questions, had me do a few things, to figure out what was going on. I had to stand and sit over and over again, to strengthen the thigh muscle, clench the muscle, etc. She was so helpful and above all, reassuring that I will be okay. Originally I had made an appointment with the PA at my doctor's office but since have cancelled that since Jessica saw me. I do not want another "problem" to show up on my application for insurance, which Jessica's spouse is going to help me with. I love my neighbors! She gave me other "lifestyle" advice, too, when I brought it up and after I return from my travels, plan to incorporate nearly all the suggestions. I shall have to overcome my fear of the exercise bike and start riding, at her suggestion, 30 minutes at a time, working up a sweat. No worries, I will sweat just trying to get on!

*

Martie just called me with terribly sad news...Our shared friend, Chris, who had back surgery yesterday, came out of her operating room to hear that her son had died. Wade, in his 30's, had numerous health problems stemming from juvenile diabetes including kidney failure, heart problems, and pancreatic troubles. He had experienced several serious seizures since he had moved in with Chris and her husband and younger son, but this time, it seems to have been a massive coronary that took his life. Oh, my goodness! There she is, lying in the hospital after serious surgery, and now her son has died. I asked Martie to please represent me at the funeral service as I will be away. When I think I have problems......

A day of opposites

This is the morning sun today. I woke it up rather than the other way around!

*

Yesterday was a day without appointments or real deadlines but today begins early with an appointment. Not my own, though, but the granddaughter of one of our prospects at church. Sheila called to ask if I could take the little girl and her to the pediatrician today to check out A'Keila's earache. Of course, I can! There are other errands needing to be run today as well so it really helps to start early in the day.

*

Today I am taking down the Luther display at church to make room for the bake sale this weekend and then the Fellowship Sunday events which follow. The flowers at the cemetery will need to come out as I am sure they are all done by now, so will stop on the way through to take care of this. When Linda was here we shopped at Steinmart and a couple tops I bought there failed me, so will take them back today. I wonder if their bathrooms are repaired yet....My closet needs to be gone through to get the stuff ready for Brenda N. to take with her to the Bahamas which must be finished before I leave Friday. Whew! I am very close to finishing the newsletter for church, waiting yet on a few things to be submitted but can take care of it from WI, if I want to. Otherwise it can just wait until I get back. The Palace Press cannot be finished until after the BOD meeting tonight, which I cannot attend since we have choir rehearsal tonight. Like I said above, the opposite day of yesterday!

*

Last night I had a lovely dinner and drinks with Martie at Applebee's when she got done working. She had called earlier in the day to see if I wanted to attend a "Helping Bowls" fundraiser event nearby, where one can pay $20 to buy bowls made by local art students and then have a meal of soup and bread. Usually I like to go but chose to decline since I was so busy doing nothing. Instead, we met for dinner and spent several hours just hanging out and enjoying our meals, drinks and even shared a dessert. This will have to last us until I get back from WI. Thankfully, we both have Facebook and can stay in touch with that as well as telephone. Gotta fly!

A Tuesday of my own

This day brings zero appointments or real deadlines. This is extremely rare and I hope I make good use of the time, although, if you read the random list posted yesterday, you can see where sometimes you reach a certain point where you know you will accomplish nothing! I pray that will not happen to me today! Friday I depart for WI being driven to the airport by my chauffeur, Justin. He has promised to get up early enough to get over here, gather my things and me, and get to the plane on time. I asked him to sleep over on Thursday to ease my mind but he has something called "Trivia Night" that he is involved in at Atlantic Beach. He has no trouble waking in the morning, he claims, and I asked him if he had an internal alarm clock like Kramer does on "Seinfeld". Just don't hit the snooze button like Kramer did!

*

Justin called me in the afternoon yesterday asking, in his sad voice, if I saw the space shuttle, Atlantis, launch. YES, I did! He missed it somehow, even though he was listening to the radio when it went up. The station he listens to on podcast (I think that is the word) evidently did not break away and he totally missed it. He asked if the vapor trail was still showing but it was well over half an hour after the launch, with the wind breaking up the trail quickly. My neighbor, Karen, and I were at our rails when it went up and had a nice, clear view of the shuttle. Justin made me chuckle a bit as he lamented about the contractors who were supposedly to show up for punch work on a house, and did not. "I hate these contractors!" It is particularly worse when it is crunch time and the work must be completed prior to closing (today) and they are no-shows. I reminded Justin how I told Jimmie, in the midst of my remodeling on the lake house, that if I ever, ever again consider being a general contractor, just shoot me!!! Shoot me and have it over with!

*

In the morning I attended Bible study where we concluded our study of the Psalms. No more classes now until 2010 which seems like really long off! Pastor needs to concentrate on the Advent services coming up in December, ThanksLiving yet this month, as he serves both here and in Keystone Heights. His wife may be having breast cancer surgery in December at some point and he needs a fairly clear schedule for that as well. She is responding well to the chemo treatments, her final one taking place this Thursday. In December there will be no Tuesday evening classes either so I am basically "free" except for the Art Guild party on Tuesdays. What are we supposed to do now on Monday mornings and Tuesday nights????

*

Monday afternoon when I got home after lunch with the ladies at Steak 'n Shake, I worked on the newsletter a bit and then tackled the bag labels for the children's goodie bags for their reception after the preschool and kindergarten program. The fine tuning of this event will take place after I return from WI but I still wanted to get a jump on it. I am also responsible for obtaining the halos for the little angels to wear in the Sunday school CHRISTmas Eve service but have to find out how many we are talking about. I offered to lend some of mine.....te he he!

*

Verizon has an advertisement on TV where Elvis is singing "Blue Christmas" in the background. The first time I heard it, I thought, "Hmmm, that's nice..." but the 50th time, I was ready to throw a shoe at the television. Is it too frequent or am I done listening to his plaintive tones???? On the radio station I listen to, they have to play a certain number of PSAs during the day. The one series really annoys me as a haunting male voice counts down the minutes left in the day before the child has to go home and face an abuser, encouraging people to volunteer to be advocates for abused child. It sets my teeth on edge but it takes too many extra keystrokes (one is playing right now!!!!!!!!! AAAHHHHH!) to mute the computer. I need an advocate, too, I think.

*

Last night our Ladies' Group went to eat at Mimi's Cafe at St. Johns TCM. Twila, Jean, and Kathy rode with me, since Kelly backed out at the last minute. Kathy was going to ride out alone but didn't have to after Kelly cancelled. We were short a couple ladies but we had a marvelous time and meal in such a lovely dining room. The light fixtures are just awesome, it makes me feel right at home! Mom used to judge a restaurant by the price of the coffee and I judge it by the charm of the light fixtures! My entree was the grilled meat loaf and mashed potatoes---really! I have leftover Japanese food to eat up and must freeze the balance of the chicken noodle soup too as I leave Friday.

*

Joanne's daughter was supposed to deliver her baby in early December but the ultrasounds and other tests were showing the baby to be quite large, almost too large to deliver. The decision was made, after determining the lung maturity, to have the baby on Monday. Kimberly's labor was induced and after being run over by a Mack truck, she eventually delivered the little boy this early morning at 5:00 a.m. Evidently some scar tissue was inhibiting the launch of the baby and had to be "removed" in order to facilitate the birth. Instead of the estimated 11+ pounds the tests had determined, he was, in fact, "only" just over 8 pounds. We said a prayer for Kimberly at Bible study yesterday and afterward I commented that my guess was the baby was not nearly a huge as they thought it was. I wonder, though, what exactly looked like three more pounds than was there.....They will rest all day today, for sure, after that rough delivery, and so will Joanne, as she had little sleep all night, waiting to hear the news!

*

There was another chuckle yesterday---while I was at lunch with the ladies, my neighbor, Hugh, called, wondering if I was out of town. No, just having lunch.....He said he happened to be in the lobby when the mailman was putting the mail in the boxes and he asked Hugh if I had moved out or something. It seems my box was overflowing and he had to use the parcel box next to the regular boxes to store my mail. Early in the month when I am expecting my check, I go to the mailbox daily, but after that, maybe once a week or so. It is catalog season, folks, the box is filling up fast! Of the mail pieces, 11 of them were catalogs or coupon books. I promise to be more faithful with getting the mail through at least the end of the year as cards and letters may be stuck between the catalogs and junk mail. I cherish my CHRISTmas cards and look forward to sending out mine, too, so please, go to your mailboxes!!!

Random thoughts sent by a friend...

There are some REALLY good ones in here

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. (Martie, have your finger on the trigger here!)

2. Nothing stinks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

3. I regret all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a 'sarcasm font' on the keyboard.

5. How in the world are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this garment -- ever.

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Missed it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice-mail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste!

17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

18. My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Mom what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How do I respond to that? (I would reply, "Go to the car wash...)

19. I think the freezer deserves a light as well. (Mine has one...)

20. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.
