Wait... are you saying that all those times that people have justified drinking because they loved the taste, has been a lie? Instead it was for its "buzz" potential? Is my perception of that whole process pretty much like when I was young and bought Playboy because of the great articles?

I know somebody who bought it for the articles, or at least that's what he told his husband

In NY we always got out around the last week of June and went back after Labor Day. Since the weather is not that warm in June it kind of makes sense.

`We usually got out between the 17th and 21st

Happy Mother’s Day @21stamps . Hope you and T have a sporting good day.

Thank you!! I wanted it to be productive to get my house ready for the market, but it was not. We basically just snuggled all day. Which is cute. But not productive. LOL.

It was 4 boxes of 10 pieces each (2 spicey, and 2 regular - so 40 pieces), and there were only a few left, and everyone wasn’t even there...!!!!!
Church’s Chicken is sooooo darn good, though...!!!!!!!
We, of course, have KFC (but don’t eat there anymore because it doesn’t agree with any of our tummies - and I can eat stuff that would make a billy goat puke, but, somewhere along the way they messed with the recipe, and it’s just a rumblefest ), but we also have Bush’s, Golden Chick, and Popeyes, which are all tasty...!!!!!!!

Don't feel bad about KFC not able to get along with tummies. I came a from a family that our stomach's can't get a long with KFC. When I want Fried chicken, I go to a local fried chicken place that has been around since 1957. The only catch I don't go there a lot due to cost.

This is what I call good chicken:
