That is my husband's rule here, and he doesn't allow computer games on there either.

Try not to dwell on the misstep, it is impossible to not make one every now and then. And I don't fry anything either, unless it come prefried and gets put in the oven. Lack of skill, and KFC is right down the road. :)ped crossinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360740233306533239noreply@blogger.com
