I found them difficult-to-use, and the template options less beautiful than those available on Wordpress. <br /><br />Don't worry about moving over all your content from here. (Though you could do that if you were inclined, though formatting would likely suffer.) Instead, just post a "We've moved" post here, and start anew on Wordpress.<br /><br />Funny blog post, by the way. I'm currently in the market for an old Mercedes Benz, and I can totally relate to your situation. Your mutt sounds like buying a cheap used car: much more expensive in the end than paying up at the get-go. <br /><br />Saludos,<br /><br />Kim G<br />Redding, Ca<br /><i>Which doesn't have a particularly deep nor liquid market in old cars.</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672834250325632231.post-80183107507612248322017-05-08T10:18:14.505-05:002017-05-08T10:18:14.505-05:00Thank you.

Now, if I could get Disqus to work on my blog, and then move on to the website you use, which is pretty clean and elegant, everything would be even better. <br /><br />al alcubanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12667546605871850986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672834250325632231.post-41287356576205262142017-05-08T06:54:18.378-05:002017-05-08T06:54:18.378-05:00"I feel like I've shown up at the Monaco ..."I feel like I've shown up at the Monaco Grand Prix driving a Rambler."<br /><br />You're a funny fellow.

My husband's only comment after his chuckle was, "He ought to be glad he's not paying our vet bills here in Colorado." No sympathy from him! 😆 Kathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05633623919935824338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672834250325632231.post-58998337977241207632017-05-06T18:39:18.249-05:002017-05-06T18:39:18.249-05:00Bless Felisa's heart and your and Stew's t...Bless Felisa's heart and your and Stew's too.

Years ago, ...Sometimes pets can be real expensive. Years ago, my wife was outside hanging laundry. All of a sudden, she came running into the house yelling "There is a bird out there." Well, there are a lot of birds out there. Turns out it was a parakeet. <br />I went out there and found a stick. I poked at it, hoping it would fly away. Well, it didn't. Instead, it landed on the stick. So, I walked into the house with it. She was estatic.<br />Next we had to go buy a cage, and that was about forty dollars. She bought cuttle bone, gravel, feed and bird treats. It was getting really expensive.<br />We came home and put the bird in the cage. My wife was so happy.<br />Next morning, the damn thing was dead.<br /><br />Robert Gill<br />Phoenix, ArizonaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
