Ouch! And I thought they were expensive here! Me and my wife recently took a road trip down to Florida and stopped in Virginia just to buy the cheap cigarettes there.The Deacon wrote:Just be glad you don't live in New York. Tax got jumped again today, they're $.50 a fag here now. :eek: That's more than double what I paid for a PACK fifty odd years ago when I started smoking and darn near double what they were selling for when I quit six years ago.
What does everyone look like ?

I must say this is a good thread. It's nice to see the faces behind the screen names. There's some impressive beards as well :D

Talking about the gray in my beard/goatee ... some refer to it as having wisdom (ha ...right) :rolleyes: . I call it age, stress, STUPIDITY (my job)... or a combination of the three :D .gac wrote:There is something stuck to your chin.

Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Here I am
This is me before and then after the operation, just in case anyone was wondering, that is me with my Wirehaired Fox Terrier Blue in my back garden, then I did a little tweaking in my photo editing system. They do say their owners end up looking like their pets, before you ask, the fish is a Chub, it's a river fish, I caught it on the river Wye and they are not good eating I put it back.

Well if you like a spot of Pike fishing get yourself down to the extremely beautiful river Wye, anywhere along that river but the Welsh half is fished a great deal less than the English side, it as in my opinion the biggest head of real double figure pike more than anyother river in the UK.

I don't have to worry about critters too much, just neighbors' cats... No, I just volunteer at a local bird conservancy to get my falconer's license. You should see Sparky, my friend the bald eagle.
