I don't know who Colston69 is, but I don't believe it's our PITA Colston cause, our PITA Colston at the very least, knew how to spell. And, out PITA Colston would never admit to paying for anything. He lets his folks and in-law's do that. Oh, wait!! Those aren't old expressions. Pardon me.

[stacktester]

Kinda like the Geico commercial where he wants to play Geico fun facts and finds out they're financially sound facts. We were almost dooped Debbie. Silly girl, everybody knows Colston doesn't pay for Disney.

[Colston69]

I said I was paying for the trip, not Disney. The whole family is there, so the family will pay for it. That's one thing I never have to worry about. ;)

Oh.. just wanted to add another Geico fun fact (not) should be..they make the repair shops use after market parts on your NEW car should you get in an accident.:mad: Even if you ask for new.
It's in their policies. :rolleyes:

and there is a big difference in fit and quality on GM vehicles. I had some damage to my 1/2 ton silverado last year after hitting a deer. The headlight and grille were both inferior to the stock units, the fog light and bumper cover were of similar quality. IMHO its hit of miss on quality and I am pretty picky about my vehicles so I notice stuff that some people wouldnt.

[keylime359]

Watch where the huskies go and don't you eat that yellow snow

[keylime359]

Oh nos! I posted a saying and got a PM warning! I never get in trouble this has upset me! Did it really offend someone? It wasn't even bad... I guess I will never really know, but I am sorry if I made anyone upset.

[2goofycampers]

RIGHT BEFORE YOU BEAT THE HELL OUT OF THEM!:mad: Judy..lives in Manhattan. My son's precinct. He can't stand her ..lol!

She also has a huge house in Boca Raton. She fits right in there too.

[auntie]

She complains that the cops sit outside her building and eat their lunch. Can you imagine. WTH is with that...?:confused3 Guess they're not supposed to be slummin' it in a nice area. They need to go and eat in a more crime infested area.

I used to like her a lot..then I started hearing things that portray her in a less than attractive manner....and more like a smart *** who thinks who the heck she is. I still enjoy the show..but if my son walks in and it's on..we change it in a hurry.:scared: It's holy hell to pay otherwise!:laughing:

[des1954]
