No I don't believe so.

Do you own your own home?
No I rent a small 1 bedroom apt. About 450 sq. feet.

I can't remember reading it?, but have you ever married?
No, came close once but I didn't care for her mother at all and I am a firm believer that your wife will be just like her mother in 20 years. Besides I don't think it was really meant to be anyway. (what ever that is supposed to mean)

Anyway I'm at the store one of the guys I know who works there tells me this funny story, I laughing my a$$ off and my cutoffs fall to my ankles.and me with no drawers on under them. Enuf said... In my defense though when I get up I turn on the coffee, feed the cats, use the john, shower & shave then dress for the day..
