WHO SAYS IT'S HOT DOGS TONIGHT,

BEING A COUCH POTATO,

Thanks for sharing. I liked that one. Sometimes a person has to be reminded to be thankful.

 

[Bret]

Thank you.

And also.....

For the water and mud becuase it reminds me that I have a home and a bed that is dry and that I can account for all my family members.

I was thinking the same thing....didn't even notice the caps until it was pointed out!

Nice one fellers, sometimes we all need to be reminded of that, and remember that no matter how bad our situation seems at any given time, someone somewhere has it alot worse!
