One of your many specialties is the art of persuasion. You can talk just about anyone into just about anything -- if they're still breathing, at least. So now, when you're feeling the need to communicate something important to someone equally important -- to convince someone of something you know they need to know -- there's really no way for you to fail. Unless, of course, they leave the vicinity or are already committed to holding their breath for a very long time.

Mileage

I got an oil change, and a new air filter from Jiffy Lube this week. Let me tell you, it was the best thing I've done for my car. I usually get about 270 miles on a tank of gas, which holds 13 gallons. Well, today I am up to 260 miles and I still have a quarter of a tank left! I just hope that the last quarter of a tank doesn't run out in the next ten miles. hehe

Oh and if you are one of the ppl that I have been bitching to about this software install, you will understand the following. I have to uninstall the stuff that the vendor tried to install but screwed it up, and then try to install it myself. All the while this UNIX server's disk drive has to be mounted each time I want to use it. Go figure.

Would you excuse me for a moment? Aaarggghh!

Sometimes I sing and dance around the house in my underwear. Doesn't make me Madonna. Never will.

HA! That's an old joke!

Oh my goodness. Somehow the conversation got to bedwetting. I was talking about going to the gym. John had brought his workout clothes and I asked him if they were clean. He said yes and we started to compare the amount of laundry that we do. I said that I do a lot of laundry but it depends on if I have to wash beddings and that depends on if the kids had accidents or not. Well, that reminded me of an old joke.

What does an old lady taste like?

Depends.
