I received this cute email from a friend and he asked if it reminded me much of my grandchildren.

Undies  Little Susie goes home from school and tells her mum that the boys...

Too Funny Not To Share................................ I think we have all spoken to this guy at one time or another. I received this email the other day.  What really made it hit home is, I had just finished talking to our Brighthouse representative about a problem I was having with my DVR.  I ...
