I will apologize too. I am just so used talking about guns, because
of my husband and his family. It didnt even think about that i could
offend somebody. I dont take it hard, actually sometimes it is quite
good to get responses like that. I helped me to find a other
solution. I hope that the BB thing is over now, and as Bill(thanks
for kickin me in the butt yesterday lol)said lets go back to the
Chis.May there be one more thing said, somehow some people got the
Sled dog and the BB thing mixed up, which didnt help the situation
either. but what the heck tomorow is another day.Hey Bill, just for
fun, what would be the difference between a "hill billy" and a "red
neck"
