I used to watch them at my grandma's house after school. I loved the show. <br /><br />I've had many stupid moments, but I'm thankful that I usually learn from them. Oh, and I'm a major klutz.

Maybe that's a cliche, but it's still a good example of me,("ewe's not fat, ewe's fluffy :)and so very thankful in my walk with the Lord.
