As a musician, Id probably choose qc'ing sound.
No we dont have dvr, vito, whatever. In fact, we are using antenna only and you would NEVER EVER know it, the quality of the picture on our big screen, is totally amazing. So we dont have a million channels, maybe all of 10 and thats all we need, neither one of us really would utilize so many.
If I was asked to drive someone elses car to take them somewhere or for any other reason, yes I would, and I do. Whether because he doesnt feel like driving, or because I like that Jeep so much, yes. And yes, Ive been asked to drive other peoples cars, with or without them, for one reason or other.
I drove the Jeep this afternoon to go get an Rx.
My driving record is immaculate so.....
Lol, we did this today too, at my work (though this was another Walmart, not us). See, even managers had to join in!
Heres to the chicken dance day:
