Thanks ladies for all the fun!

Just listened to another wonderful podcast by these 3 wonderful gals! So funny and so smart and they chime right in on every subject that is raised. I want to buy myself some merch as a retirement gift, to me, from me! Please let me know when that stock is going to be available. I was hoping to have a tshirt for the wet tshirt contest, here in New Brunswick, but since I’m 63, and gravity is not kind, maybe I could buy a pair of sweats and just wet the front of them….may even win! (My fan base is older too and their eyesight ain’t what it used to be). I used to be able to turn heads. The only way I can do that now, is to take the old fellas to the chiropractor! Carry on, carrying on!
