Moderators dtel Posted September 1, 2010 Moderators Share Posted September 1, 2010 Wow Groomlake, I knew you and Lucky Johnson were close and he has never let you down but this smells funny. You better not let the wife find out what Lucky Johnson is trying to get you into, she would want you to break off anything to do with Mr Johnson.

Moderators dtel Posted September 1, 2010 Moderators Share Posted September 1, 2010 Aaah, DTEL, want to edit your response? Thank you, I had used one letter wrong which changed the whole thing, very sorry it really was an accident. Thanks [:$] I wouldn't want to get Amy or Marshal mad at me, one simple letter made it much worse, a bad time and place to mistype a single letter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
