Darn-Ain't I Smart !!
(Preview)
Darn Ain't I Smart !!I have spent the last 4 days messing with my Fantastic Breeze fan in the kitchen.

Asking for a refund?

Long story short. We moved to Alabama for a job. Local KOA is a parking lot, didn't look appealing. Found a campground out of town that looked quiet. Caters to dog people. Nice lady. Paid for 30 days. Bad idea. The bugs here are horrific. There are two RVS here that must be dog show people..........

Don't Mess With Old People

There was one nurse that just drove me crazy. Every time she came in, she would talk to me like I was a little child. She would say in a patronizing tone of voice, "And how are doing this morning" Or 'Are we ready for a bath', or 'Are we hungry ?' I had had enough of this particular nurse. One day...
