Whew... I'm tired today... What a day yesterday was... I worked - that was cool (except the M-Th idiot left too many babies to be done for me... dumbass!).. then I went to an event with D&S. Yesterday it started raining... hard... the event was at a statium... with a big fucking hole in the roof! We got there early to beat the trafic and get good seats (and we did - they rocked...) we ended up sitting in the rain (with lovely yellow hefty bag-ish rain ponchos on) for 4 hours. Luckily it wasn't all that cold, just wet.. but remember that lovely, silky straight hair of mine... well it was a kinky, curly, mass of frizz by the time I went to bed! HAHAHA! I looked like I had a red brillo pad on my head this morning! hehehe... so It's curly today (doesn't look like a brillo pad now though).. far too much humidity for straight hair.. I had fun with D&S - it was a lot of fun (thanks D for taking me, and feeding me, and the shirt, and the drinks (just Dr. Pepper guys, no booze) and the CD... THANK!). By the time I got home and walked through the door, after 4 hours of soaked feet, wet hair and damp pants.. I felt completly inhuman.. and I was a bit cold. OH.. and I had a sinus headache at the event... D gave me these sinus tablets... I think she had me take one to many! I was awake until 3 am!!!! YIKES! I got up at 6:30 am this morning.. so I haven't had much sleep.. I'm surprised I am able to move at this very moment..
Again.. I have to ask, why is it that some people are so fucking rude? I walked into one person's room to see if they wanted pictures and the mother and the grandmother gave me such a dirty look and were soooooooo rude to me that I'm not going to even go back tomorrow to see if they want pictures.. even if they are calling the nurse to ASK for them... I won't take them. They were total bitches to me and that was totally uncalled for.
So.. do you ever get huge cravings for some horrible junk food? And you MUST have it... crave it for days on end other wise? Yeah me too.. I'm having a junk food craving.. and it's making me crazy because I want KFC original recipe with mashed potatoes and gravy (and a biscut!) so much.. I generally reserve KFC for special occasions like Elvis Day (my celebration of Elvis' birthday... eat KFC, watch a bad Elvis Movie *read... any Elvis movie* , wear sparkly polyester jump suit and side burns, contemplate wether the "Blue Hawaii" clashes with the 'Blue Suede Shoes" or not...). But damn it.. I want KFC.. I think it's all the rain.. maybe lack of sleep... or.... all the sinus medication... acting like uppers... making me feel Elvis-ish... therefore... making me crave... JUNK FOOD! oh... I think that might have even made a little bit of sense... hmmm.. I should go to bed.. I'm barely coherent...
VIVA LAS VEGAS! ;o)

DID YOU KNOW?
We share 98.4% of our DNA with a chimp - and 70% with a slug.
hmmm.... 70% slug... well that explains a lot...
AND *drum roll please* THE FRIDAY FIVE!!! (I'll answer these when I get home tonight...)

OK, I have a dilemma, I have a part time job that I love, but pays shit - $6 an hour (plus $2 commission on ever package I sell, $.50 on every picture I take but don't sell - I can take about 2 baby pics an hour). And the hours are not guaranteed. But I LOVE what I do. (I take baby pictures at the hospitals here). Now I have a friend who knows of a job, and can get it for me - and it would make $10 an hour working Friday Saturday and Sunday (those are days I already work now) from 10 am - 6 pm. But the job is a bit of a drive from where I live and.. the job is mind numbingly boring. I love love love taking the pictures, but I really would love love love making more money.. I need to see how long it would take me to get to work.. if I took the other job.
I need some feed back? WWYD? (don?t limit your answer to just these options either?)
I need some feed back? WWYD? (don?t limit your answer to just these options either?)
OK, I'm back to obsessing about my hair. I promise this will be the last picture I'll put on here... so you won't be tortured any longer.
Oh wait.. here I am again. HAHAHAHA! No really I promise.. this is the LAST one.
So what do you think? should I stick with this? It takes a bit longer to do, and if I'm in a rush, I just can't do it.. but.. if I do it like this, I don't have to wash it every day.. and once it's like this, if it get's a bit messy later, I can just brush it... although if it get's humid.. then I'll definatly look like a big poodle... hehehe... think about that!

Something for Thursday
3X Thursday
1. What is the best Halloween costume that you have ever worn?
Hmmm... damn.. that's a good question... I've had a lot of crappy costumes in my life.. toga, serial killer, punk rocker, lame ghost... to name a few.. OH I know.. when I was 3, my mom made me this adorable butterfly costume for me.. I remember getting ready to go trick or treating and putting on these cute wings my mom had made and painted herself. I thought I was the cutiest thing in the world.
2. What is the best horror or Halloween related movie in your view?
I have to say the classic 'Halloween' with Jamie Lee Curtis. I do love that movie. In fact I do love most of those slasher movies from that era... 'Hotel Hell' comes in somewhere in the top 10 because it is a dog of a movie but it's pretty damn creepy.
3. What is your favorite tradition and activity for Halloween and why?
Trick or Treating! Why? well the obvious reason... FREE CANDY! I LOVED Halloween as a kid... trick or treating was the best.. the only time my parents would let me stay out as long as we wanted (and we would canvas the neighborhood untill the lights were being turned off...), and it totally did not matter if you had a good costume or not.. infact I think the lamer the costume the more the adults felt sorry for you and gave you more candy. Ahhh the sheer joy of a pillow case so full of candy you could hardly carry it, then getting home and eating as much as you could before bed time (when our parents would raid our candy...)... because every child knew that come morning, all that candy would have mysteriously disapeared. It would show up 3 or 4 pieces at a time in your lunch sack until Thanksgiving when all that would be left would be that horrible peanutbutter taffy that even the dog was getting sick of... *sigh* life was so unfair...
Bonus for comments: What should BBQ and I dress up as for Halloween? Flashers... and I want to see pictures.. ;o)

whew... had to take a break from that book 'The Regulators'... why the hell do I read books like this? this is absolutly disturbing.. especially since someone has started terriorizing the DC area... a weird sniper in a van... Not entirely like this book, other than the weird sniper in the van part. Except... I can't stop reading this.. It's totally gruesome and disgusting.. but I want to finish the book. It's not one of SK's better novels either... very long - I'm only about 143 pages in a 470 page book... I'm going to have to actually either check this out from my local library or get a copy at half price or I'll never finish this bastard book.. and this is the kind of book that will haunt you.. make you wonder how it ends... come back to your subconcious and play it's little scenes out.. then stop... make you wonder what happend to the characters... who died next? make you hope it wasn't that one character that you really liked.. the one that made sense to you, like y'all had become friends... Make you wish for the asshole of the story to get blown away next... and no one else... and you HAVE to finish the book... absolutly HAVE to get it.. no matter how much you might not want to read anymore.. the morbid curiosity get's the best of you and nags at you until you finally give in and finish the book... giving yourself nightmares and unpleasant thoughts that sneak up on you at the most inopportune moments... SK's books always do that to me.. Damn myself for picking this one up. I've never left a King book unfinished.. and several of them have given me the nightmare that scares you even when the lights are on. Lots of them have left their nasty little footprints on my memory.. waiting to pop into my conciousness and give me goose flesh at a moments notice.. for instance.. anytime I see heavy fog, I can't help but get a bit of a chill as I think of The Mist... eeek! It took me years to be able to walk into a closet without getting the heebe-jeebies. Saint Bernards still make me all teary eyed and a bit frightened as I think back to Cujo... And damn it if I didn't pick up another of these books that only a psychiatrist looking to cash in on my neurosis would recommend to me... Now I'll have an uneasy feeling about vans... hmmph... well I should go.. gotta see if I can finish a couple more chapters before I go (yes I'm a glutton for punishment... I'll make sure to watch a nice Disney movie before bed, hopeing to disuade my feeble mind from the sure to be gruesome nightmares...)
OK, so here I am... done earlier than expected so I'm at the Public Library (hey... what exactly would a private library be? A bookshelf full of books at your own home? hmmm....). This is always such an experience. Such a lack of decent reading material.. Last time I was here I was reading one of Steven King's Bachman books.. I think it was called the Regulators or something like that. I went and looked at the book store for it a week or so ago but it was $8 for a soft cover copy! FUCK! I'll just check it out from the local library or find it at half price. Yeah I know... I'm extremly CHEAP.
Well I truly proved myself to be the Queen of the Dorks today. I was trying to EAT in the car... was just starving so I went through and got a chicken sandwich and fries... I rarely ever eat in the car... and usually have like french fries or chicken nuggets... well today I was not using my head at ALL. I'm trying to drive, hold this big ole' samich in my left hand and eat... I ended up dropping the damn thing on me half way through. I started laughing so hard. Luckily I have a brown sweater with stripes of varing colors so the mustard and tomato blend right in. HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Sheesh.. I wish I had something intelectual to discuss but... as usual.. I don't. Damn.. I have nothing of interest to discuss....
So.. I guess it's all that mental bloating for eating all that mental popcorn (read my first post for today.. the cryptic and stupid horoscope).
OH yeah one other dorky thing I did... this is kind of embarassing, but I'll tell you anyway.. your not right in front of me to laugh so what the hell (actually I'd have already told you if you were right in front of me HAHAHAHA)...
So I had gotten a large (i.e. bucket of) coke with my chicken sandwich and I really had to go when I got to the library. So I go in there.. *note.. this morning I had put on some pants that I haven't worn in years and years.. they have two buttons (I guess for extra security or something) and they fit great..* so I head right for the ladies room. Im trying to get the second button undone with the urgency of nature calling.. and I tore the button right off my pants! hehehehe... thank God for two buttons!
Oh well... hmm.. I guess that was funnier to me than anything... Sombody! Give me a topic to discuss!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKE!

It's a sensitive Wednesday, Judy!
A passionate interchange with a partner could be the mental picture that stays in your head today. This inner film reel will keep you a bit detached from mundane chores, as well as satiating your desire for someone who currently cannot be with you all of the time. Get settled with some mental popcorn and enjoy!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Anyway - must welcome another reader - Peter - thanks for the nice e-mail this morning. Feel free to stop by my little Whine Cellar anytime. ;o)
Strange... last night I had bizarre dreams. One was odd.. it had all the facts correct... but it didn't happen like that? had all the main characters but not in the right time period or sequence... then I had an extra person in there who had nothing to do with any of this. Jake! Weird. I guess he got included because I was reading his blog last night.. and his bio on his blog (he's a cutie... but young...). Damn.. that was strange though..
Anyway.. must run.. have to dry my hair.. just needed to get warm from my ever so cold shower... since SOMEONE in this household used ALL the hot water on a marathon shower this morning. *sheesh*
Brrr... heading off to dry my hair.. then gotta go get that mental popcorn. ;o)

Ah-ha! After much searching I found the 'Satan Cookie' e-mail ... for your reading pleasure... (this was written October 29, 2001)...
So my husband goes out with our daughter yesterday while I’m working and gets stuff to make a nice dinner for us. Well he also got desert for us… cookies… not just any cookies but the best cookies… really I mean it, the ABSOLUTE BEST cookies. They are sugar cookies, but they are soft and they are iced… yum…. Not something I would normally buy, and I never did … until.. my sister gave me one. And from that one cookie I became hopelessly addicted to these sugary delicacies. From that point on, I avoided them in the store.. sometimes it became hard as they were stacked in their shiny little boxes on a table near the entrance of the store, then I would eye them as I walked past. Look at them… consider how tasty they are… then I’d look at the price $3.99! That would send me on my way! (I’m sooooo cheap) Occasionally I’d throw caution to the wind and buy a box.. knowing full well that I would end up eating the majority of the cookies within minutes of the box being opened… OK slight exaggeration.. within hours though… an opened box never lasts a whole day. These are the only confection that has this evil mind control over me. And I rarely ever buy it. Otherwise I would never have been able to loose these 37 lb. I have and would have an embarrassing moment trying to explain to my Dr. why I would be existing on devilishly good cookies and milk. Sooo… anyway (gotten a little off the subject here… all that sugar is going to my brain!) Here’s the facts - I recently lost 37 lb., hubby knows this, hubby recently lost 20 lb., we both just joined a gym, he went shopping - unsupervised! - and bought not one, but two boxes of Satan’s little Sugar Cookies (my special name
for them) {His defense ‘They were buy one get one free!’ somebody kill him}! And now… now.. guess how many cookies remain (10 to a box)? 3.. just 3 cookies! (No I didn’t eat them all - he and our daughter helped). I fear stepping on the scale at the gym tonight. *sigh* So my question is Why are they sooooooooooooo good? Why can’t it be something like a banana or an apple? I’ve never heard anyone say "Oh those oranges were so good! I just could not stop eating them! I must have eaten 10!" Or "Gosh those carrots were soooo delicious, I just couldn’t stop eating them until I got to the bottom of the bag!" Oh well my only consolation to myself is that since my throat was soo sore from the Anthrax.. I mean Strep… I couldn’t eat hardly anything for 3 days… so.. maybe it all evens out… maybe… Oh well I better go use the rest of this sugar buzz to my advantage and finish cleaning my house! Ta for now! Watch out for those cookies!

I'd like to welcome Jake to my reading audience. Thank you for the comment ;o). (although Jake may never come back, but hey, your always wecome here!) And Thank you A for leaving a comment! Woohoo! someone leaves me a comment.
OK - Let me tell you about my adventures today before I get to side tracked.
This morning I suddenly remember that I have 3 envelopes in my car of photo stuff for work. DUCK! Today is TUESDAY and these were from the WEEKEND! So... I needed to get off my ass and get them in the mail. So I leap into the shower, stay in there long enough to wash the stink off (although I was not stinky, I stayed in the required time it would have taken to remove stink IF I was stinky... so ... don't start thinking I'm stinky... nuf said..) and threw on some clothes. Dash to the car, realize I NEED GAS desperatly, off to Albertsons to get money. When I get there, I see 5 (yes 5!!!) firemen going into the store. WHOOO-HOO! I do have a thing for firemen... (firemen, cowboys, police men, men in uniform... just like most women...) Soooo... I go into the store and pretend to be shopping around them so I can look at them in their tight wranglers... (shit I love living in a not so large town in the south - where the fire fighter uniform consists of Wranglers and blue golf shirts with the fire station emblem on them... ahhh... that combines two of my favorite kinds of men to watch...), Then I went and got $20 for gas. Off to the gas station where I open the little door to the fuel tank and suddenly REMEMBER that I needed a gas cap since the VERY first time I put gas in this car I left the gas cap on the trunk of my car... sheesh.. so I stop the pump at $16, I figure a gas cap could not cost more than $4. I look in the station when I pay, but they don't have any. Off to WalMart for a gas cap. I find the automotive section with little or no trouble and find they have 2 types of caps available... hmmm... damn... I have no clue... so I ask the person at the counter to help me, she looks in a book and tells me which one to get. And guess how much the cap costs? less than $4? NO! $4.27!! Damn it! of course I only have $4 in cash, so I wander though WalMart looking for anything else I just MIGHT need (want) and get a few things.. end up spending $9.53... damn... So out I go, put the cap on my car... and it's almost lunch time. I head to Taco Bell, which I have discovered is THE place for all the hot cowboy type worker guys to go for lunch. Ahhhh... $2.88 for a decent lunch and 30 minutes of lusting. Nothing brightens a day like a little lusting...
Damn.. I should not have made cookies yesterday.. they are absolutly fabulous... and I can NOT stop eating them. Damn... Damn... Damn.. they are very very close to the Satan cookies (Lofthouse)... In fact I do belive I could alter this recipe just a tad and make almost exact replicas of the Satan Cookies... *sigh* (for thoes of you not familiar with the Satan Cookie storie.. I'll have to dig that up and post it here... Anyway.. I think I've eaten 5 or 10 dozen cookies today *sigh* (ok maybe not that many.. but I feel like it...) Damn... My hips must WANT to be wider...
Strange question.. why, oh why, do men get hair growing out of their ears as they get older? that is the most disgusting thing in the world.. Hell it's almost enough to make a straight woman become a lesbian just to avoid that horror of old age with a man... I think that's why God made men die before women.. so they don't have to suffer as long with old, hairy eared men.
L - that is freaky about your landlord. Don't be offended at his clumsy pass at you... Hell I take any pass by any man as a compliment. And good for you for turning him down.. the last thing you need is to screw the landlord, then have you both feel akward and weird and have to move so you don't have to face him ever again... hmmm... me personally, I probably would have no quams about doing something quite so foolish and would never realize it was such a stupid thing to do until I received an eviction notice from him...
Tonight I walked around the lake near me. Twice.. that's about 2 and a half miles. I'm surprised I could do that. If you would have asked me if I could walk 2.5 miles at once, I would definatly say no. Well if you had asked me if it was just over a mile around the lake I would have told you not it wasn't.. I'm really bad at judging distance.. and direction... I'm surprised I can find my way home from the store some days.. hell I'm surprised I don't get lost going up stairs in my own town house a lot.
Must run.. will look for Satan Cookie story...
OK - Let me tell you about my adventures today before I get to side tracked.
This morning I suddenly remember that I have 3 envelopes in my car of photo stuff for work. DUCK! Today is TUESDAY and these were from the WEEKEND! So... I needed to get off my ass and get them in the mail. So I leap into the shower, stay in there long enough to wash the stink off (although I was not stinky, I stayed in the required time it would have taken to remove stink IF I was stinky... so ... don't start thinking I'm stinky... nuf said..) and threw on some clothes. Dash to the car, realize I NEED GAS desperatly, off to Albertsons to get money. When I get there, I see 5 (yes 5!!!) firemen going into the store. WHOOO-HOO! I do have a thing for firemen... (firemen, cowboys, police men, men in uniform... just like most women...) Soooo... I go into the store and pretend to be shopping around them so I can look at them in their tight wranglers... (shit I love living in a not so large town in the south - where the fire fighter uniform consists of Wranglers and blue golf shirts with the fire station emblem on them... ahhh... that combines two of my favorite kinds of men to watch...), Then I went and got $20 for gas. Off to the gas station where I open the little door to the fuel tank and suddenly REMEMBER that I needed a gas cap since the VERY first time I put gas in this car I left the gas cap on the trunk of my car... sheesh.. so I stop the pump at $16, I figure a gas cap could not cost more than $4. I look in the station when I pay, but they don't have any. Off to WalMart for a gas cap. I find the automotive section with little or no trouble and find they have 2 types of caps available... hmmm... damn... I have no clue... so I ask the person at the counter to help me, she looks in a book and tells me which one to get. And guess how much the cap costs? less than $4? NO! $4.27!! Damn it! of course I only have $4 in cash, so I wander though WalMart looking for anything else I just MIGHT need (want) and get a few things.. end up spending $9.53... damn... So out I go, put the cap on my car... and it's almost lunch time. I head to Taco Bell, which I have discovered is THE place for all the hot cowboy type worker guys to go for lunch. Ahhhh... $2.88 for a decent lunch and 30 minutes of lusting. Nothing brightens a day like a little lusting...

Thank you L - my hair is my pride and joy... I actually have not stepped foot in a salon to get it cut in almost 4 years! It really does need a trim... but I have lost touch with my hair dresser and have not found a suitable replacement. I know I could call him and he would cut it with out giving me shit.. and he ALWAYS does a GREAT job.. I usually tell him what I think I want and he nods and says 'Um-hum.." a lot.. then looks at my hair and cuts it into something that looks fabulous. Once I told him I wanted layers, and he just 'um-hum'd me... and he did NOT cut them into my hair... I was actually quite happy he didn't... I know I would have regretted it. Anyway... I should call him.. but he's un-godly expensive. I have another friend who is a hair dresser, but this is a woman... and her hair is short..... I just can not trust a woman to cut my hair.. I must have a gay man... a Hair Fairy to be exact... woman have butchered my hair and left me unhappy... Hair Fairies... well.. they work magic. Anyway... I think I'll do my hair straight for a few weeks until it get's to be too much trouble hehehehe... then I'll be back to my normal curls.
And OMG - Fried Twinkies! HAHAHAHAHAHA! I think my cholesteral went up just reading that!
Well I must run for now.. I'll write more in a bit... must write about lunch at Taco Bell... mmmm mmmm good...

OMG - L - I was laughing so hard at your answers. *sigh* I needed that... Also.. you should be able to click on 'All Quiet [0]' and leave a comment. I don't belive you have to be a member of anything to leave a comment. Ahhhh how I wish I had my own site like you. OH well maybe someday.. I'm not quiet computer/web savy enough to do something like that...
Anyway... I'll tell you about the one interesting thing from this weekend in just a min, but first I must tell you my adventures in dorkiness for today.
so I color my hair today (oh don't even pretend to be surprised...) and I was wiping the counter after I rinsed my hair/showered. I saw this spot on the floor, so I dropped the rag on the floor and proceded to clean said spot. Well my big ole' hips bump this stack of towels on the counter and knock my cordless phone into the sink... full of water... so I had to blow dry my phone. Sheesh...
Later... I'm making cookies... (don't know what's gotten into me... I have this urge to make cookies and decorate them.... must be insanity setting in...) I make the cookies, then I'm making the frosting... I cut the recipe in half so I'm trying to figure how to cut the frosting in half also. I put the butter in with the powdered sugar and turn on the beaters... POOF! large white cloud *coff!* *coff!*... then when I have that beaten in.. I look and there's this tiny tiny amount of frosting! Shit! so I dump in the rest of the powdered sugar. hehehe... Now I think I made too much! But I can truly say I'm a sweet person... I'm lightly covered in sugar. ;o)
I went to see a movie this weekend.... another rarity.. I usually don't like seeing movies in the theater... short attention span... Anyway, we go to see My Big Fat Greek Wedding. OMG - that is soooooo funny. go see it. Some critics said it's predictable, yadda, yadda, yadda... yeah well it is, but it's still funny and a great movie. Some parts are so sweet and touching, I cried in a few places, but it's a LOT of laughs.
Anyway.. I should go now... clean this sugar off me before the ants carry me away...

Monday Mission 2.41 my answers... I know you've been waiting. hehehehe....
1. What's the most expensive meal you've ever eaten? What was the occasion? Was it worth it?
The month after our apartment was damaged in a fire, hubby and I went to Ruth's Chris Steak House for Valentine's day. I was hopeing, hopeing, hopeing that I would be able to tell him that I was pregnant then, but I wasn't yet... Anyway.... It was extremely expensive and extremely good! Well after writing all that.. there is another time that is pretty close on this... a couple of years ago, we could not get a baby sitter for our oldest so that we could go to hubby's Christmas party so we took the little one and went to Paul's Porterhouse for dinner. We didn't realize that they did NOT have high chairs or kid anything (well duh... it's not really a kid place..)... but they were extremely nice about it, if not a little leary of us. It turned out just fine. The owner of the restaraunt was so charmed by our little one (who by the grace of God, stayed in her seat and did not make a huge mess or throw a fit at all) that he brought her quail soup (which she absolutly loved). We fed her off our plates and she ate it. hehehe... it was a very good time for us... the bill was HUGE (it always is there...) and the owner gave my little one a rose when we left (they always give the women roses when you leave)... it was so worth it...
2. What do you like to do when nobody is looking? oh gosh... I love to eat spicy pork rinds! LOVE them! but I won't eat them infront of anyone other than my husband... heck I won't even put them in my cart at the grocery store if anyone is around. HAHAHAHA!
3. What's your special purpose? Hmmm... to bring peace and happiness to everyone's life I touch. HA! I'm not sure, but I think it probably has something to do with scarcasm. hehehehe... Sheesh... what kind of question is that? I have no clue...
4. Do you like Autumn? If so, why? If not, tell me about your favorite season. I love autumn.. It's the end to the sweltering heat down here... everyone loves Autumn down here... although I do wish the leaves would change color down here.. that would make it perfect.
5. Ever recommended a movie to someone only to have them hate it? Which movie? Did you feel uncomfortable about that? Yup, I recommended A Nightmare Before Christmas, and they hated it. Nope I didn't feel uncomfortable. I don't want to put down what I did think because it was not a very nice thought towards that person. hehehehe....
6. I've had hay fever all day! Sniffles, sneezing, I tell ya, it's awful! Do you have any allergies? Anything that just gets you down for the count? I have sinus issues. When the weather changes I get horrible sinus headaches. In the spring I have some kind of allergies that accompany the sinus issues... then my life is a living hell that requires massive doses of OTC medication just to be able to think straight or stand up with out pain. Gotta love it.
7. Do you like mixed drinks? What is your favorite? As long as we're here how about you order me something too? Just "suprise me!" I like some mixed drinks... bloody mary's and Margaritas are my favorites. It's too early for me to drink.. I'll just have a Dr. Pepper, but I'll order you a screw driver... seems appropriate... *snicker* (there's that scarcasm gift again..)
BONUS: Why do we scream at each other? hmmm... sorry about that.. I tend to speak softly... I always have to repeat myself... I'd prefer if you'd just ask me kindly to repeat myself instead of screaming at me... K? thanks...
