When I had the quote about grandpa falling asleep as his passengers screamed, I hung it in my office. My boss charged in and tore it down. I asked "why" and he said "Because I don't understand it and I know it's probably a slam at me" Yeah. HE was the boss - brains and all.

Just me again..was reading about your tatoo and the design is lovely. Just had to mention that my daughter is a RN and she says there's not much in this world that looks more pitiful than an 80 year old woman with a rose tatoo on her skinny, wrinkled butt...so...stay away from the butt area!! :O)

Those are awesome! lol. Oh my God, that's funny. Now the first one reminds me of a road trip we took. Up in the CA mountains...my husband driving like an ass. Hairpin turns at 80mph. I kept telling him to slow down...he just calmly said...just close your eyes and go to sleep. That's when I kept thinking...OMG, this is it. I always SAID I wanted to die in my sleep! lol
