I think it is "Ponse-ee"

Though it might be "Ponse"

I bet that helped.

When I was looking at the map of Puerto Rico a week ago, I didn't know how to pronounce the city of Ponce either.  I still don't, if that helps.

Today's my one-year anniversary at this job. :) I'm going up to get my "gift" in a minute. How exciting! :yeah:

Yay.

Dude, I spent 18 months unemployed. And I was sole support for a family of six. Give me this, will you?
Fine.  2 yays.

What's a Tumbler?

Google just shows me the Batmobile.

A glass you drink alkie in.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.
