JOKE OF THE DAY
Men vacuums in the same way that they have sex. They just put it in, make some noise during 3 minutes, before they collapse on the couch and think that their wife should be really happy.

32 here with a wind chill down to 27. Waiting on a niece to take her duck hunting. Had open my mouth when I had a buzz and this got me into trouble having to take her. Going to be a fast hunt.

Good morning Roux makers. I have a small mission to attend to today. I am going to see if I can get my wife and daughter to make a gumbo while I am gone.
Making a gumbo does not involve shopping for make-up and clothes so I am thinking the chances are slim.
