From Denny: Hey, since Blogger does not back up all those links in the sidebars and other cells, then I'm putting all this hard work into posts they do back up! :)Look at it this way, this blog sure will load faster when I get rid of all those list boxes of funny categories.
When I think of retirement I have to laugh. So does everyone alive today in America. Why? Probably because none of us will ever be able to retire considering the economy and crashed or raided retirement plans. What to do? Might as well laugh about it all!
