Very nice interview, Ace!
Ummm... so your husband is a farm animal?! ROFLMAO!
Thanks again, Cpt.
no more over playing my hands with you arouind
good interview and your page is just hilarious
I read the whole interview, scrolling up and down and up again - I just had to be sure - there wasn't one, not a single mention or reference, to cats...none, nada, zip! I figured your husband was just over-reacting...
...then I went to your UserProfile page - Good Gawd, woman! - when do you find the time to play poker? That army of felines must take all day to herd !!
Thanks for taking the time away from the pussycat posse to do this interview, and - as always - thanks to cptmorgan for this great idea ("BirdFeed"
that is now a daily ritual for many of us Railbirds.
BUMP !
COOOEEEEEEEEE Ace,
I know everyone prob thinks I am a little slow to read interviews, however I only joined Railbirds a few months ago and I spend some hours reading blogs and interviews each week. I loved this interview. Well done.
