You're hiding your pain well, Mel. I'm sorry, Hon. There will be other trolls, I'm sure of it.

Group hug... yes, that's what you need, Dear.

Or is that the line of guys you envision giving you affection now that you're free ?

Wow, I'm sorry I missed all of the Troll fun. What a complete and utter cheesebag. Why register, and then a year later go completely off your nut and implode? Apparently he has an acute allergic reaction to 'excessive wheel gap'. Ever hear of lowering springs, son? And an extreme phobia of the dreaded Cold Start Death Rattle. So it makes a nasty noise. Get over it.

Speaking of getting over it, if there's anything we can do to help you recover from this loss don't be afraid to ask.

oh, i wound it up today on my hose reel. tried it out as well. it's nice
and soft. it grabs hold of the concrete when i reel it in. im sure
after a few uses it'll get dusty and will slide easier.

i like the fact that it's diameter is HUGE. my EverKink hose looked
like a toothpick or a string.

You're not going to fool us again with all this talk about how huge your hose is, Ken.

Hey guys, glad to see everyone is busy detailing and keeping things clean. I went camping last weekend, so my MINI is all dirty. However, I cant figure that out, because it didnt go. Stupid construction.

^ Construction dust settled on your MINI ? Yikes, be careful with that. I would not attempt to use a Cali Duster or a MF to QD it... wash it off with just water before you take a mitt to it, too.

That dust would probably be quite abrasive.

I was thinking automatic withdrawl. They just charge his account weekly and ship him something for similar or lesser value.

I got those MF pads in the mail today, ken. Wow, you were right... those things are HUGE. King Kong could wash the Empire State Building with those things !!

I'll probably end up exchanging them, too, for the mitts.
