The LUG has had a lot of trouble with Centurylink over the years.

I hadn't seen those before, but it's obvious what they are. Every house I have ever lived in has had chain-mail curtains on its fireplace. At my current house I took them out and replaced them with hinged doors that can br latched to keep grandchildren out.

But yesterday two of my grandchildren got haircuts and then went to the ice cream parlor next door. I couldn't resist. The eye makeup was applied by the hair stylist and washed away in next morning's bath. She wanted bangs like Taylor Swift's. He wanted to sit in the fire truck chair. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/bkreid/family/L1020438.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/bkreid/family/L1020436.jpg.html He had bubblegum ice cream and she had chocolate ice cream.
