My favorite quote:
A close runner-up by Frankfort Moore (which rings very true, right now) is, “There is no stronger bond of friendship than a mutual enemy.“
What’s one of your favorite quotes?
Unrelated Update on 3/26: Something I’ve been negotiating for several months, just came to fruition. At the end of the interaction, my income tripled; just like that! It would make a great blog entry, but I need to think about whether it’s a good thing to share beyond general details. Now for some ad lib fun: Click to read a random entry.

Sorry, I got caught up in the moment.
I can’t for the life of me figure out what’s wrong with my blog. I deleted the new items that I added to my blogroll and it was still messed up so then I put them back. Maybe it’s a sign that I need to change things up a bit.
Have I mentioned lately that I would like to win the lottery?
Steve says, “WordPress support is really good with technical stuff….I want to win the lottery too!”

From “Mommy Dearest“: Don’t f#ck with me fellas. This ain’t my first time at the rodeo.
Steve says, “OMG, that’s one of the best one-liners ever! And if I can’t get to bed soon, I’m gonna be like Mommie Dearest!”

Hey Steve…
How about Limmericks? My favorite:
There was a young man from Purdue
who said he had nothing to do!
So he took out his carrot,
and buggered his parrot
and sent the result to the zoo!
I’ve got a million of ‘em!
northsdad (PS - Delete if you find in-appropriate… but I love limmericks!
Steve says, “Limericks are always fun! Although, I’m not sure I know any, by memory!”

Even if you’re on the right track you’ll get ran over if you don’t keep moving. and a limerick:
A Canner uncanningly canny, one day replied to his Granny, “A Canner can can anything that he can” But a canner can’t can a can, can he?
