Coulda told ya that... only because nobody told me. Here's hoping you sleep as long and soundly as I did!

Man, this is so true! You should start at 6am if you can. I've learned to take whatever time I THINK it's going to take...double it, then add an extra hour or two. This is especially true if you have nobody helping you.

thanks! I would have made the same mistake soon.

Best advice EVER!

Ok come on many its been over 12 hours!! We want pics!!!

Woke up late, I'm at work now, lol. I may be able to get some tonight. I still have to clean up and it stinks in my house. Imagine 5 totes that were holding livestock and water for 10 hours then drained of all but the gunk at the bottom, and sat for a day in the kitchen, lol.

I love that, but there is always walmart. Your fix may not be perfect, and you'll never be "in and out" as there's always a huge line after midnight, but in case of emergencies, they're sometimes</em> helpful.

That's what I do... Less yahoo's to deal with.. But what the midnighters lack in numbers they make up for in yahoonish

 

[weaglereefer]

I usually go grocery shopping around 12am-2am depending on when I get off work. Only 1 lane is ever open, the lane with tobacco products.

ETA on pics is 2.5 hours for those of you holding your breaths.

I have no idea where they come from, but they all seem to follow me to the Waffle House... :confused2:

Wow. Gonna skip the dui temptation and go eat about 3 of my wife's smart ones covered in hot sauce.

 

[smoothie]

Just a tip. After the popcorn is done splat some cheap hot sauce like crystals or something in there and shake the hell out if it. Mmmm mmmm good

 

[smoothie]

Yes it does. Gonna go make some wings now instead of starting a tank swap
