Yeah, Is Not Possible.

Agree. Because he has elevated himself to a "demi-god" status which means, in his own mind, he can do anything he wants and it's OK. And, you are right. Why go out for hamburger when you can have steak at home???

I've never even heard of Whataburger. Guess I'll have to try and find one next time I'm in Texas.

Should be OK for me too. Can't host anyone, house won't be constructed by then,. Still waiting for the damn permits. Inspector guy didn't even come in on Tuesday, and even if he comes in today, we won't be able to get them finally signed off until next Tuesday, so no digging for us next week. I am still extremely pi$$ed about this.

Morning Box:

The weather has returned to "Carolina Blue" in CLT.^ Going to the "Second String Santa" charity event this evening. It is a pretty good spot for catching young CLT professionals in "holiday dress up" gear for charity.

The lovely Mrs. GTITAN and I will be donating a bike to a child that we will never see ride it or smile from it. Having said that, our smiles are from ear to ear knowing that nonetheless said child might just have a nice holiday.:-:^

Yes, all you need is the knowledge that you have made some child's Christmas and that will warm the cockles of your heart!

God bless you!
