Grrrrr!"Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180243708565855383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-64234408681453215222013-09-04T22:44:10.913-04:002013-09-04T22:44:10.913-04:00Can somebody please keep score?

In fact, I'm tired of EVERYBODY getting a trophy.

Short of a hurricane or maybe a blizzard so intense you can't see where the ball went, weather isn't any big deal.<br /><br />But now about that Twinkie...I must disagree.
