" Oh, hi, Ernie! Figured you'd been busy. How're things going?" Hell, Dan! We got our butts kicked by a hurricane. But we're getting things back toget...er. Lemme ask you up front. Are you still serious about Miss Nikki?" Yes I am, Ernie. Why?" Then you're gonna like what I have for you." Whatcha got?" I was excited. My heart was pounding."I got a judge who let me explain the situation. Now he wants to talk to Miss Nikki. And you. Separately." When?" You know, Dan, I can move this along pretty. I have invited her out for a drink several times once she finishes with no luck, however one night she agreed to come for a quick drink at a bar downstairs.At the bar she explained she was married with no c***dren, her husband was older than her and drank far too much hence why she cleans at night as well as having another job at a school. Maybe i am a good listener but one drink turned into several glasses of wine when she insisted she had to leave I said I would make sure she got home safely. ---Jason asked if Sister Nancy had gotten pregnant, since she was the first one that he was forced to have sex with.Mary spoke up.

It had housed all of them after the crash, after all; it had room."Y'all come!" George yelled from the entrance. I had to make several runs a day to check the equipment and record the data. Generally, the first run was about 7am, then 11am, 2pm, 5pm and 8pm. It made for long days, but other than making the runs, the rest of the day was my own.Other than the intense heat, the only other hard aspect of the job was being away from my wife for 10 days straight. Ginger and I had only been married for two years and 10 days apart seemed like an eternity. When my stint was up, I couldn’t drive home fast.
