A Need To Be Entertained

worldwise1 @worldwise1 (14885) • United States 3 Jun 09

Laugh Out Loud?

kdmlrys @kdmlrys (398) • United States 25 Apr 09

LOL or Laugh/Laughing Out Loud is too mainstream. Do you ever get tired of laughing out loud? I think I should refrain from using that acronym. Do you think SOW (smile out wide) is a good alternative?

tpayne33 The grill is the best way to cook,I think,because you can't get that smokey favor on the stove. The grill is very versitile. From smoking to baking you can do it all on the grill and it can be a very enjoyable experience.
