Good luck with that rumpled item Ymo.
#3 and #4 are really time dependent. #1 can be done any time and #2 has a 7-8 month window to make it happen. The rodeo runs for 3 weeks and wrapped up this weekend. #4 is just one weekend so it kind of has to be the focal point of a trip.Quote:

I have one standing rule. If ever offered an item to freshen your breath, you cannot turn it down. The person opposite has better intelligence/information than you.
I am not certain if this holds true for cough drops and throat lozenges.Quote:

Your local municipal waste services doesn’t have pickup for that stuff? Seems like using that green matter in mulching and composting operations is a better option than burning it?Quote:

We have to alert the fire department when we're scheduling a burn but we're seven miles out of town. Country living.
I may have overdone the hot peppers and sauce in this phó. Good morning!

I'll be wearing either this shirt https://shopdukestores.duke.edu/ePOS...106&design=106 or a purple button-up if I do not have time to stop at home and change.
My mom will be wearing a Duke shirt and blue devil horns. We should be easy to spot out, given our seat loaction :)
Chippers have a bad name in our family ever since my brother-in-law bought one at the Rotary auction after not bidding/buying the KU bball tickets he was supposed to bid on for my sister. Tickets were sold before he even placed a bid. Chipper was donated back the next year and friends of theirs bought it.Quote:
