[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 374531, member: 2189"] LOL! If Cheryl is paying me (she's not) it ain't enough so I have to do the Big Brown thingy Monday thru Friday. DAMN! :happy-very: "Shed light & Informed Rants" Yeah, my bad for ripping into you as I know you understand we have problems out there. You know as I talk with people of all politiical stripes, deep down and in those honest moments when nobody is playing gotcha, everyone to a person is really not happy at the 2 choices we have.

And as for the flip flopping going on, I mean between McCain and Obama I swear I do less flipping when I cook pancakes for our family of 6. LMAO!!!!
