T - maybe it was just me and I refrained from posting this before because I didn't want to rile up the Jayman but the way it was written doesn't it look like he wants the women to do "laundry, cooking, cleaning house" and while they are doing those chores it would allow the menfolk to have sex (with each other and not the women?)

It's probably just me.

OMG You are to funny.
You got me thinking................
The truth of the matter is... I have NEVER met his wife or children. Hmmmm He says he is married but I am starting to wonder? He never take her/him on road trips either ( if he is married he or she is probably home cleaning ) Is he married to a women? Maybe that explains the crazy pictures. Maybe he doesn't like good looking gays likes us. He is more interested in ugly men.
Jayman you asked for it!!!! Luv ya.... Just kidding with you. Hugs T.

Ok now to be serious......
My SKY is still at the dealership. They called me this morning and told me it won't be ready for pick up. I was so disappointed. No SKY for my trip to NY this week-end.

When they took off the convertible canvas they noticed that the frame of the convertible top was defected. So they need to order parts. Oh dear... I guess if I want it done correctly I have to leave it there until it's done. I am having withdrawals. I miss Snow White. T.

Maybe next week I will have SNOW WHITE back. I miss her. I am having Kappa withdrawals. Oh dear. Thank God I have my Kappa family. We always take care of each other.

They told me that something was bent and if they only replaced the top, it would be ok for a while and then it will start to pinch again.
But I will ask them. I am sure they will have that info. on the pick up slip too. Why do you ask? T.
