Since there is Bar B Que involved, then OK.

As long as they don't talk about computers. My husband has learned when he starts with that mumbo jumbo my eyes glaze over and after about 15 minutes I offer to explain to him (in detail) the plot of my latest romance novel. He usually leaves the room.

I've lived on and off in NJ most of my life, and the only people I've ever heard say "joizy" was in the movies.

In Southern NH, they sound like MA and in Northern NH they sound like VT.
I've lived in both places, so I have no accent.
Even Synopsis mentioned that I don't sound like folk from MA...
I used to though, until I realized I sounded like Ted (The Keg) Kennedy.

I think I found your problem with The GIMP...

It's a LARGE file, and because you're on dial-up, you're probably getting CRC errors which will cause the file to be corrupt.

When you consider the device we're using to communicate here, do you really think there won't be any computer talk?

Besides, you know how these things work. People split into groups...
Your husband will be in the group with Synopsis and I talking computers
and you'll be in the other group.

Those books are nasty, worse than penthouse forum letters! I used to work in a library and all the harlequin books were hot items, no matter how old the paperback, some female would come in and pick up 9 or 15 to read.

I perused one once.... OMG!! It looks like this:

Jack wore short pants and a tight v-neck tshirt. Jack's long sleek legs glistened in the sun as he strode purposefully towards me with his blue eyes boring holes in my soul. His eyes tapped into my soul, removing my inner sadness, my empty vacant lot of a heart was stirring once again, like a cloud before a downpour. My whole body trembled as he held his hand out and said,....

YOUR TOILETS FIXED MA'AM, IF THERE"S ANY MORE TROUBLE, JUST CALL THE NUMBER ON YOUR BILL.
