        There's a place in town here that makes "cupcakes" where the "cake" is actually meatloaf and the icing is actually mashed potatoes. I've never had - pmb Oct 20, 10:04 3

    - it'll be a travel trailer :) - colin Oct 20, 09:20 20
      - Ah! That's awesome. That's what I miss about moving in my 20's. Only what would fit in the backseat would come with me. -- nm - The Devil and Daniel Vermin Oct 20, 09:23
