I've lived here for 20 years, and it feels more like home than most places. I'm in the middle of nowhere in the New Mexico desert. The roof leaks, the pipes freeze, sometimes I can't get out even with 4wheel drive, but ...

Fortunately, my piece has a bad reputation.
I don't usually drink alcohol, but I wouldn't say no to some scrumpy.
Sorry, that is still offensive. Contact makes me ill. I know you were looking for a compromise but there isn't one.
Lucky man. Two words, but it can't be done in one.
Edit: Not paying attention again. That was for StephTaylor.
