My Second response to your two-part story, lol

1) First you said flabbargasted, that is sort of a segway to my latest article talking about slangs and phrases. If I had seen this article about an hour ago, I would have mentioned you for sure.

2) Your kitchen sounds like mine. When the wifey is cooking, I am not welcomed in the kitchen. that is unfortunate because the coffee pot is in the kitchen, Truth be told, it is sorta like a combat zone in there anyway with hot grease popping everywhere, and her chopping and dicing anything she can get her hands on,

The other day, I just stood in "her" kitchen and laughed. I have been looking at some RV videos in you tube. If we cannot get along in our home kitchen, there is no way we would survive in an RV kitchen. One of us would be walking,lol
