I just had to go rescue DH whose truck broke down. (In front of the
dealership, was that lucky or what) They just called with the verdict.

HRFL Tiger would like everyone to know that it is a company obviously

I stayed up until 3.30 a.m. with the lad last night just to keep an eye on
him.  This was probably unnecessary as he settled down to sleep at about

Last week my friend Brian lost his dear cat Hobbes to complications of

Brian is the last of my friends to have stuck by me after meeting Louie.
(It takes a marriage to tell you who your friends are; I knew who the
