I really love Mondays.
going out island hopping later.
MB3 robusto and coffee watching the birds and squirrels empty my feeders.

I'm sure the day will come where you wake up on a Monday morning, no alarm, no meeting, no job, no traveling, nothing pressing to attend to, and you'll say to yourself, "Mondays aren't so bad after all".
Yea, but in truth, they are not Mondays....they are just "the next day" so it doesn't really count.
6 Saturdays and a Sunday.

Howdy, Scott. You back down to your playin' weight yet? If not, Dan Marino has a solution...  ;)

Anybody use Restaurant.Com?
Apparently the warden signed into something, and now I'm getting daily emails. Some of the gift card deals look really good... almost too good to be true. So, that's why I was asking.

Hey Steve and Flip!

Afternoon, Dave... they let you back in the country?  :P
I didn't ask permission.

We could always delve into the Hitchhikers Guide....

“Funny,” he intoned funereally, “how just when you think life can’t possibly get any worse it suddenly does.”

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the ‘Star Spangled Banner’, but in fact the message was this: So long and thanks for all the fish.

The chances of finding out what’s really going on in the universe are so remote, the only thing to do is hang the sense of it and keep yourself occupied.

It is a well known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

“Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.”

Protect me from knowing what I don’t need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don’t know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.

 In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

I have had varying degrees of success and failure. knowing the fine print on the deal is crucial.
say to get $25 off, some places have a minimum spend of $37.50 to $50.  is is always recommended that you
tip your server on the undiscounted value of the bill, since they did that much work.  Most places happy to take them. may not be good for every night of the week or holidays(fine print).  some times they are for two or 4 people. went to a new restaurant, with a 4 person coupon, with only 3 people, we ordered apps entrees, dessert and drinks, and our bill for 3 was much higher than the average coupon cutter, but they wouldn't let us use it, since we were short
one person(as opposed to being a short person!).  I have used them on vacation, and locally. Occasionally they run a $5 sale, you can get a $25 off coupon for $5.  I stock up then. they appear immediately in your account, and you can print them off.  there usually is a time limit to use them, and if the place stops taking them, or goes out of business, they tell you to log in, get the credit back and pick another place.  I have some that are over a year old, and I don't expect to have any problem using them, anytime soon.  turned in some ones I bought for Tennessee, and got Jersey ones last year.

Howdy, Scott. You back down to your playin' weight yet? If not, Dan Marino has a solution...  ;)
No, been a rough month with my back, then illness. This is all bullshit, but I'm down 10 lbs. Just need a healthy month.

My back reacted poorly to the month of treadmill, no more of that so once I feel better it's eliptical time

I did notice the min. purchase disclaimer(s) and some are location specific for chains, but other than having short turn expiration's, I thought some could be a good value... especially for 4 people.

There was something like the $5/$25 deal going when I got the first email. Today, there is a spend $20, get $50 freebie. I may give this a try. There are quite a few places we frequent on the deals list. We are already use Gift Card Granny and  similar sites with good success. Thanks for your feedback.

I guess the operation didn't do too much but help the daily pain then? Was/is it a herniated disc issue?
