[Horse Racing Thread]

My bet for the Preakness is down. On paper the philly is unbeatable in this race. I went with a trifecta part wheel. 13-2,9-6. I like the 10 or 12 in the race before. Like a 1,3 box at the Meadowlands race 3. Good shot. Cheers!

The meadowlands was a winner FYI

Ive been throwing peanuts to the squirrels in the back yard. They are goin so fast I dont know if the squirrels are eatin em or the welfare trash next door? Does anyone know if the squirrel eats the shell too? I saw a young one climb the tree with one and he was eating it. I couldnt tell if he was eating the shell too. See how much time I have on my hands. Soon Ill be weaving baskets.

We have a central vacuum system in our house (and my office). It is fantastic. The vacuum and the canister is outside in our garage and we have several outlets on each floor of our house. We use just a hose and the vacuumer and all the dirt goes outside in the garage. None of the dirt stays in the house. It cost about $1500 and we will never have to buy a vacuum cleaner again. I was going through at least one a year at my office before we got the central vac system.

Wow. Never heard of that.

I was with my sister at Target a couple weeks ago and she spent thirty minutes looking at the Dyson. I said it's crazy to spend so much on a vacuum. It was $450 but came with a $50 Target gift card. She didn't buy it then, but i have a feeling she went back for it ( i haven't asked her). According to her, it will last forever. Well i wish you good luck! I paid $300 for an Oreck 15 years ago and swore i would only buy the cheaper Hoovers (under $80 with bags, lol) after a few years and feeling let down. That Dyson with the pivot does look nice...(i might snatch it up for $200).

Me and the ex wife bought a Kirby in 1984. I still have the Kirby and it is still working great. cost about $1100 then. Crazy. One of the few things I got out of the divorce.

Hmmm, explain how an MRI made you happy. I'm thinking extreme pain with the 5/500 in the mix.

MRI's dont hurt at all. They take usually 45 minutes but can take less. Im sure its the results of the MRI that made him happy.

Are you really a blonde?

This made me happy today

Ive had at least 21 MRI's, 4 myelograms and many catscans. Myelogram is no fun. they inject you with the fluid, into your spine and tip you.

I saw Deborah Bonham in concert last night. She was brilliant, and I had the pleasure of meeting her after the show...

You absolutely should be a model Ms Honeydripper. Seriously.
