I do suggest an ear plug for yourself!<br /><br />Elizabeth, I do hope I was the highlight for that moment and thank you for stopping by, I appreciate your comments.<br /><br />June I am not going to let you down, I will write about it. The reason I took a trip to Vegas was I hooked up with a chic from this blog family and we met up there and I have to be careful how I tell the story with out offending her! lots of good times though June! and I love you as well.<br /><br />Peggy's Mom, One of these days I am going to write about why I feel the way I feel about the homeless issue in this country...I have a story to tell but we can all help by donating time and money at the local shelters and kitchens. I have been involved with different shelters in DC and Maryland as a cook, driver and a case worker for the last 11 years.<br /><br />Claire, thanks for the kind words, trust me when I say I feel sorry for that guy! Some of us think that we got problems but we need to look around and see what's going on with others and start to appreciate what we have! I hope you are doing well babe!<br /><br />Kil, enjoy your winter break and I hope you get laid a lot! Are you going some where?<br /><br />Turner, I can't believe I still didn't link up your blog to mine! and I will let my readers judge why some people leave hate comments for Kuntry Cabbie but I do enjoy reading your work! I think most of you Australians are real people...<br /><br />Gwadzilla, you are my kind of guy/girl(???) I stopped by your blog for a few seconds and it sound interesting but I will read more in the future and thank you for being kind. Happy New Year! By the way I have been to that Chicken Joint on Mt. Plesent street, they're good!<br /><br />MJ, I am glad you are here also, are you still pimping at golf course or what? I hope winter is not so rough on you guys! take care.Mad Cabbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00126347011965732220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24092685.post-30193276983597840992007-01-10T22:05:00.000-05:002007-01-10T22:05:00.000-05:00Glad your back MadGlad your back MadMJ06https://www.blogger.com/profile/05480859164018485620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24092685.post-31735005709650120462007-01-10T12:34:00.000-05:002007-01-10T12:34:00.000-05:00oh...
