oh gee. we're adults. we buy dogs think we know laws. don't need neighbors telling us.

everything you respond to.....

Dear Anonymous.....
I'm really anxious to see you at our meeting on 4/19/06. You sure have a bunch to say...hope you'll show up and talk in person like you do as ''Anonymous'' on the ''Talk About It''. I have a feeling that won't happen. ''Anonymous'' is very safe for you, but come to the meeting and speek your ''mind'' in person. I have a feeling you wouldn't have as much to say since the ''CLUB'' has everything documented to back up our records. I welcome you to be a part of ''THE CLUB'' that you joined when you purchaced YOUR HOME.
Can't wait to see you there! Oh.... You MUST be an animal lover like myself....can't wait to talk with you at the meeting....remember it ends at 7:30, so choose your conversations, can't wait!!! See you at the MEETING! Marsha Lott
