Big things are happening! I got hosed on the CO elk draw. Something to the effect of UNSUCCESSFUL - REFUND WILL BE MAILED. Geez, didn't even get my second choice which should have been an automatic.

I hope you get along better with your MIL than I do with mine. I would NEVER heat the garage for the old bat to live in! She doesn't need (or deserve) much any ways-just an outlet to plug her broom into so it's charged up when she wants to go for a ride! molɔ̀ːn labé skýla

All he has to do is give them the tools and sit back and crack the whip once in awhile. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Except for bears. Bears kill you.
