I'm sure there were some who were close! wink

Don't they usually put veggies in those drinks??? Look closely and you might just find something special in it like something orange, worth 2 carrot's......

I think you're piano's a "lyre." It's not afraid of me. It's afraid of what you're telling it! Speak more gentler with the "tone" of a lamb in your "voice" and stop "needling" it so much...

Jerry, I suggest a bulletproof pre-nup.

I speak from experience here: every 2-3 years the wife -hounds- me about tuning her piano. After a few months of stalling, I pick a day when she's gone and wave my lever at a few of the worst offending unisons. I then tell her I spent 3-4 hours doing a fine tuning job. Yet, she refuses to pay. I tell her that tuning is the only thing that I have to sell. She promises to pay later, alas, she never does.

Don't worry Dan, I'm already happily married in case anyone is actually wondering out there, we're just playing around here... 30 years for me this past March actually.. Besides, I'm not waving any "levers" over in that direction. Loraina Bobbit maybe close by!

That's why they all have headaches all the time so, they don't have to pay...

I think I'll put my bullet proof vest on just in case though!!!
And keep the door close by.

See? Not even married yet and she's already got a headache... Unfortunately, orrrr, fortunately, it's ME. The rest of you are lucking out, I'm taking the "heat" for ya!

Gee Diane, if it'll make your piano feel any better, I have a bottle of muriatic acid on hand for it? I could pour it on the legs, little by little. This will give them more of a say, sad, sort of, drippy, sappy look? Nobody else will have a piano that quite looks like this.

We could put some on the strings and sounding board for a very special tone quality. Nobody else will have one like this either.

We could put a dab or 10 on the hammers just to see what it does. Then, we'll rebuild her all up back up for ya! maybe....... Whaadaya say huh?



You mean you didn't find my precious expensive ring that I bought for you out of the bubble gum machine? It only cost a quarter, er, that is, I meant to say, that it is a quarter carrot ring! They were expensive carrots too! Hmmmm, now that I think about it, I think I know what happened to it... Maybe you forgot to take them out of the glass and the rabbits ate them? They like carrots too you know? grin

All this talk about carrots is just more than one manly man can handle!!! It's makin' me Maybe is just the hunger though!!! We missed lunch at Diane's due to some rather unexpected circumstances. The burgers became uneat-able because ya'll decided to take a nap on 'em. The wedding cake ruined because the bride is havin' trouble findin' a groom!!!! And to top it off, who can drink the champaign with a woman sittin' in the glass!!!!!

I swear this is more frustrain' that married life...!!!!! and make up, and bring on the food, or I may famish and

And . . . when I went to your house to return your ring!

I was just a "little" mad and took a little "revenge" out on your cat! Hope he will forgive me!

You could always drill a hole in your lip and use those carrots like an ear ring or plate or something like that. After all, it is the thought that matters, isn't it?
