Water is not my choice when I want it to affect my mind! 🍻 LOL!!! What's up with the photo of the carnival Barker?? 🎡🎪 Did I miss something? 🤔🤨🧐
Pammy Jo
Meg,Should I answer the question? I don't know if my internet will hold long enough to ask a quiz question, though. I can always try, even if the connection is sporadic.

I did not mean to disrespect anyone. I'm sorry. You may ask the next question, Emma. My internet will be repaired today, so this is the last time I'll be connecting for some time.

Oh, no, I'm sorry, Pamela! I was talking to Meg! And I was just joking. I'm sorry! 😰
It's me who needs to have internet problems and go away for a few days, I just keep on saying the wrong thing! 🤦🏻♀️

I see now that you meant Meg. 🤗❣My internet is still not fixed.I am about ready to "fix" somebody! The phone/internet people are irritating me as much as the gas company did! They actually said if I'm not happy with my service, I can find another phone company! I have been a customer for 42 years! I cannot believe this. In 42 years I have never had a problem or complained to them. I think it took nerve to say what they did! Pammy Jo ain't happy! 😡
I really would like you to do the next question, Emma. I won't be able to until the dingbats🦇🤡🦇 fix my connection. I would LOVE to fix their connection!🤺 Dealing with the utility companies is like dealing with Frick and Frack!!!🤪
