Guest Ann Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 “Ranting and raving” about the blue tarps is a BAD thing! Not positive. The blue tarps are apparently doing a great job and people are giving them excellent feedback. Maybe they’re giving rave reviews ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRE@K Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 What's wrong with saying something positive about BLUE TARPS? I heard Kramer praising them this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
