The "gals" are here ..... guess we're just not posting. The boards have been pretty hostile this long weekend. ADSP has become a battleground. After lurking around, I just want to turn my laptop off. Thank God for safer harbor like this thread. Here's to a positive and FUN week to come!!! Carolyn

Rileydog1 -- I'll second that. Although they are calling for a tad of snow overnight in Ohio tonight the weather can stay like this until it gets warm in Apr. There is good to be said about global warming... LOL!

<<well you know what i mean>> hope you like this a keen lad applied for a job at a big city dept store. the store was the biggest in the world and sold everything under the sun. "have you ever been a salesman before?" the boss asked. the young man said yes and the boss took an immediate liking to him and told him he could start the next day. he told him he would come and see how he made out after the store closed. the day was long and hard for the young man but finally it was 5 o'clock. the boss closed up the store and found the lad sitting slumped and exhausted in a chair. "how many sales did you make today?" asked the boss. "one" said the lad. "one?" said the boss obviously displeased. "most of the salespeople on my staff make 20 or 30 sales a day. how much was the sale worth?" $301,334.53 said the young man. "how did you manage that ??? asked the boss flabbergasted. "well" said the lad "this man came in and i sold him a small fish hook, then a medium fish hook and finally a really large fish hook. then i sold him a small fishing line, a medium one and a huge one. i asked him where he was going fishing and he said he was going down to the coast. i said he'd probably need a boat so i took him down to the boat dept and sold him a 20 foot schooner with twin engines. then he said his honda civic wouldn't be able to handle the load so i took him to the vehicle dept and sold him a new ford expedition. "you sold all that to a guy who came in for a fish hook?" the boss asked in astonishment. "he didn't come in to buy a fish hook" said the young man. "he came in to buy a box of tampons for his wife and i told him you're weekend's shot you might as well go fishing.
