I'd like to thank...


It's two days before thanksgiving and I got to go to bed in 45 minutes when my pie is finished baking. I decided that in honor of the holiday, which is one of my favorites, I will not whine, and I'll try VERY hard not to be vulgar, rude, insulting, or sexually explicit. I think I heard the sound of all ten people who visit my web page leaving at once....
