Because that's what my hubs means when he tosses that grenade at me in an argument.<br />Either way, not the biggest insult. Hope the season's over and the difficulty resolved.<br />V :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159799725109784001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-56849442223977433502016-08-26T04:41:16.911-07:002016-08-26T04:41:16.911-07:00"Go read a book."

"Go read a book" is right around #3 on my list of things I'd rather be doing (#1: hanging out with the boys and the kids and Sweetie, #2: Pizza.)(Yes, "pizza" is a thing to do.)<br /><br />Anyway, I'll pick this one up.
