The gloves are off....that one always makes me smile as it seems to call for a fight but wouldn't one put the gloves "on" if they were going to fight? I don't know... but a lot of them are just fun to "make fun" of. <br /><br />Under the weather .... I guess I use that one phrase a lot for being sick. It makes me feel as if I had said "sick."

Like "turning the tables" what happens if the table is round? Or "new and improved" can't be both, it's either new or its old and improved. The gloves are off, yet they have no gloves on. I could go on all day. Under the weather, aren't we all? Get the ball rolling, what ball? Come hell or highwater. I guarantee if either were to come, you wouldn't be doing what you say you would be.<br /><br />Okay I'm done lolPat Hatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07745293224202430152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5815726918316647047.post-69663647481663368522017-02-06T22:06:58.298-08:002017-02-06T22:06:58.298-08:00"At this point in time" when "now&q..."At this point in time" when "now" would be so much faster and means the same thing.<br />There are others but I can't think of them right now.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.com
