To is where you go. Too is inclusive and two is a number. Simple. :)
OH NO! Now we're back to, "That wasn't the (question) quote. Read it again!" :lol::lol::lol:
And after trying SO VALIANTLY to maneuver this topic into a jovial direction. Absolutely hilarious!!!

i LOVE magnolias!!! and wow that thing is huge!!
That's something I wouldn't mind having heard more often! :)
I've had to estimate the height of that tree ever since I planted it as a sprig in 2002. Then yesterday I realized I could measure it using the altitude reading of the quad copter. It's 34' in height, give or take a foot.

What bugs me is when they ax a question
Kids been axing questions since I was a kid.

R U going 2 B there?
I can't be thar if I don't know whar.

R U going 2 B their?... Now that bothers me.
Wait... there's some kind of butchery of English that bothers you?

Ain't ain't a word and ya ain't s'posed ta use it
If ya say ain't 5 times then ya ain't gonna go to Heaven.
Ain't ain't in the dictionary so I ain't gonna use ain't no more. (In reality you can now find ain't in many dictionaries.)
there is a missing comma that would have assisted with the meaning. When speaking, there would have been a pause before "as is..." so there should be a comma there to represent that pause.
The following is not true. I'm just saying it in an attempt to be funny:

Matt doesn't use pauses when he speaks.

No me, at keast last time I checked. :lol: How's your day in the great white North going. I've been copying music to my phone for the Odyssey and the Mac/Android interface has been kicking my azz. ;)
It was 24 AGAIN this morning. Dag nab it! It was nicer a month ago! Go figure. It's nearly 50 now though so it's probably about time to get out and do some yard work. Got a good start on it a few weeks ago but then it snowed and everything was still pretty wet until last weekend.
It's great you're getting some tunes downloaded for the road trip, gotta have 'em! I don't envy you the the interface issues! This computer stuff is my short suit. I'm lucky I can get on line!

When I was in 2nd grade I was writing something and I asked my teacher how to spell whistle; not the word "whistle" but the sound of a whistle. I was really disappointed to learn that it couldn't be done.

Why can't a bicycle stand up by itself when it's not moving? Because it's two tired.
You guys are killing me and forcing me to ask that ever important question…. Who really cares.
Really ought to be a question mark instead of a period at the end there. :lol::thumb::):lol:

Computer stuff has pretty much been my life. Joined the Navy at 17 and after boot camp went to Operations Specialist A School. OS is what they used to call Radarman. By the time I retired in 1995 I was Space and Electronic Warfare Commander for Amphibious Squadron 2. Yep, you guessed it, LOTS of computers. Then I started a graphic arts service bureau when I retired. Owning your own business means you gotta be everything from bookkeeper to network tech. :)

Weather here was beautiful yesterday. High around 75. Today it's been raining all day with temps dropping from low 70s to the 40s. Dog hates the rain and she wouldn't even go out until about an hour ago and by then she was bout to explode! She'd hate it up there although she likes the snow. To dumb to keep from freezing and won't poop closer than a block from the house. Last winter when it was damn cold I ended up having to carry her back to the house inside my coat so she wouldn't get frostbite. :lol::)

WOW & Holy Cow, Matt! First, THANK YOU for keepin' us "safer" through your service!!!:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs: Pretty darned intense position!!! Thank you AGAIN!!!
And yes, "Chief cook & bottle washer" is a big hat to stand under as well!!! I thought being a giraffe neck washer at the local zoo was tough, but dang!!!
I think even your dog would smarten up pretty quick, up here. That or, well, I'm SURE it would! We're having the earliest Spring ever (so "they" say) and gaining about 5 minutes of daylight a day right now. Before long we'll be into the 70's & 80's too and have 18 hours to enjoy it each day! The land of the midnight sun, baby!!!:thumbs: Of course, up at Point Barrow, the sun sets in late Oct. and doesn't rise again until late Jan.! Whatever day of the week in Jan. it does peek up over the horizon again, is reffered to as "Sun Day".;)
