Just one of my words but it's means the best.See Dr this afternoon at 3:45 and get this tough tongue checked out for his opinion. This will be the DR that determines if I go to OSU CCC or stay in the local area. If you want to hurt anyone today, make it David LOL. This coffee is extra good this morning. Better go for # 3 right now.
