Betty isn't feeling well enough to go to school, but is out answering OTS questions. In my day that was called playing hookie! ;)

Did she also know that she would not be feeling well on leap day?

Leap Day? I just can't wait until June 30th when we have Leap Second. What to do with that extra second..........

In it for the discounts and perks eh? Smart.

A little known advantage is that when you're born on February 29th, you get TWO birfdays: the 28th and 29th. Take it from a leaper!

hmmm I could use that extra day to take a shower. Gettin' mighty stinky in the nether regions!

I'm thinkin' I might pounce. Then again I might hurdle, skip, spring, jump, vault or hop. Or nothing at all. It's all good.

You first Pitt. If it goes away I'll know it's not me.

Pitt_Mackeson 1 year, 2 months ago

Thanks Roe!

No hail just south of Larryville but the grill went stem-winding across the deck. Glad it was tethered somewhat by the propane line. My 16 y/o buddy has a birthday today. He was born 64 years ago. In another 20 years, he can start drinkin' all legal like.

Thank you. I'm 15 today. . .

I would do anything for Leap Day, But I won't do that, no I won't do that.

Nice demographic of Lawrence. Two worker bees with one playing hooky. One that is going to a party and another who who is a KU-er

It's a tough choice between Hydrogen Sulfide or a something ballistic. Probably just flip a coin.

Just because Leap Day falls on Hump Day this year?

Go take a flying leap

Yah, autie, we gots a propane grill. hangs guilty head in shame When mama wants a burger, she don't cotton to watin' too long for it. Just push that button & whOOsh! I'm grillin' before you can say 'where's the Kingsford?' Now, I'm at least smart enough not to call it barbecue. All the briskets & ribs are done proper in the wood smoker. For Leap Day, g-rock & rara have inspired me to start digging a luau pit. Anybody know how to carve a whole pig?
