[quote=KwaK;25465551]Good morning everyone
Happy Friday

Got to make this quick I have to be out of here in 20 mins


Today's Question(s):


Are you watching the Olympics ?.......Just bits and pieces

If so what has been your favorite competition so far ?" .....The horse competitions and gymnastics.

Have you seen any that had you saying "Wow" ?.....When that poor horse fell on a down hill jump. DH was laughing at me because I was so upset that the horse was hurt instead of the rider.


Bonus Question:

What was the last thing you gave someone advise on ? ...Yesterday when my friend called upset because her husband agreed to the divorce that she asked for. He has lied to her about the IRS trouble they are in and she over heard a rather intimate conversation he had. She also gave him money to help fix his car I've been telling her for 4 yrs. now not to be a door mat

Was this something you were asked ?....Yes, she asked if she could escape here from time to time. I'll be giving her a key at work today and a big hug. She's a wonderful generous person and too kind for her own good.
or
Did you volunteer the information ?......For years now

lol did they take the advise ?....I hope so. Enough is enough!!!!

Happy Friday to all yall and may you have a superb weekend

I have not been watching TV at all and I have been very engaged in real life affairs as of late.

I give advice often... too often and I am trying to learn to keep my two cents to myself to simplify my own life.

I have not been to very many National Parks and I don't have a favorite, but I hope to visit more

I been making myself scarce, but I sholl been missing yall.

Love and Peace
