Huh..??
:-(
''..run..'' into me..??

oh my

you driving a car/van/bus..??

Ms. Jenn ~~ please don't ''...run...'' into me, please

nevertheless,
'tis pure-JOY on all my trips
to meet & greet fellow Negriliholic boardies
.

Full joy it

Its the one season in the year I can fly nonstop SW out of Milwaukee, but only on a Saturday and only Business Select or Anytime Fare pricing. Oh, SURPRISE, they opened up Wanna Get Away seats at a lower price! Hmmm, might change my booking...

will be on the look out for mr. smith . . .

Nope, Smith - no driving for me. ;) However perhaps we will "meet up" upon our travels. I promise not to run over you...I'm too shy for that nonsense anyway! haha

Hey Hey, what ya say! Smith gonna make it all the way!

Have a good trip my man.
Seems we are like 2 ships passing in the night.
I leave, you go, I go, you leave.
Well, you do good and have fun.
By the way, those J-woman don't bite (not that hard) so I wonder???
Why you say you leave them alone??
Mi wonder?
You tough man, like steel.
Be strong mi brodda. LOl, Lol, so funny.

Anyhoo, I hope the house thing get build up nice and strong.

I will be there in a few months.

Take care, don't be square, and please do share.

Later Mon.

Oh yeah Smith,
My J-girlfrienf says that if you are not use to bathing in "cold" water, it will make you sick.
So, she boils water for me, then I pour it over me as needed.

Did you ever catch a cold from shower with J-cold (not heated) water?
I told her I would be fine, but she just keeps boiling and boiling.
Hard to argue with her.
So it goes.

Just booked for a quickie can't wait yeeehaaa!
