Ever "pinch a nickle till the buffalo shits?" I wonder who are old enough to know what that means? |
|
Speaking of being old, I have to dye my roots now. So may needs some breaks before I can respond.

I have not had my Taco fix for a few weeks. I'm making some home made now.
I slept for a day and a half, and now starving! I'll make a couple extra for you.
