Thank you Mikie for the great sign! You may wonder why it is propped against the fish tank. Well we got home from holiday, open the front door and were assaulted by a horrible stench. Yep, one of the fish went belly up.
Poor stinky thing.
I would like more contests! Really fun!
Thanks again Mikie!!!

Your welcome Amber, hope everything went smoothly during your vacation.
I also enjoyed those contests, i guess i crossed the line that C.W. has set as appropriate activity. I had 2-posts "pulled", one was only on C.W. for a min. , My biggest problem with a prize is getting there e-mail, i was told you could get the members e-mail on there front page (what ever that is). Anyway, glad you loike it, bye-bye from the home of "Hillbillie Handfishin" (not my first choice to be representing our state) . most of us wear shirts, alot of us wear shoes, few of us marry within our household & none of us watch that show. (maybe my cousin, we dont talk since our divorce.)
you'd get stuff too if you were more like Amber, u know, witty & smart! just funin u eye.
Hahaha Mikie you crack me up!
Hey in my state anything can get done "if you know a guy".
Eye4, you would get stuff if you emailed me! Stop complaining if you won't do anything about it! I wish I knew how to make the combo of sticking out my tongue...okay, just a smiley : ))
Hahaha!
Looks like you were the winner of Mikies trivia contest, lol. Neat sign, gotta love the companionship of fellow collectors. Have a great day. ;-) winking smilie
