The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Bloody hell.
A+++ contemplative rather than vituperative today, eh, jack? ; )
Everyone else seems rather vituperative today, xsmommy.
There always seems to be a few brainless backstabbers within the GOP. Handing out embarrasing victories to the Jackasses since the days of JKF and LBJ.
I'm not about to change parties. Just close my check book until someone gets the message.
Jack.
oh i am not going anywhere. i think the third parties are stupid, i want no parts of them, and the last time i got the call from the RNC i told them. no way. not til they act like a majority party. they will keep getting that answer til i see somethign different.
Hi everybody!
jack does consistently good work, but is not usually so lowkey about expressing himself. : )
.30!!! Where the hella you been??? How's tricks? How's what's-his-name? Etc.?
I'll stay in the party, but some individuals I'll never vote for under any circumstance. And I'll vote for some democrats over McCain.
i could not vote for mccain either.
Hi, .30Carbine:
Three pluses is fine with me. Though Thanks for the Props.
Xsmommy is a fair and firm Grader. Besides, 10 pluses would be gauche.
I've been a bit miffed since last night and I don't do my best work when I'm out of sorts.
Jack.
Tiger is fine - just finished washing our dishes! I'm off from work today and luvin' it.
no, i thought it was great. better to vary one's tone and mood anyway, i just noted the change, not that i prefer one over the other.
Irresolute = Republican Senators. NOTHING more to say, it's over.
Lucky Jack. You know how much money I need to pay wimmen to get them to follow me around? :^)
"A bit miffed" is certainly understated. But judging by your post and your profile you've hung in with the Party through some hard times before.
Me all over.
Xs, when did you take up the grading pencil?
we have been through a variety of situations in the past 4 years. Miss Rika took over from Miss Annie. Miss Bella took over from Miss Rika for awhile. Then we went to a split system, i do 2 days, VRWCmember does one, Secretgarden does Thurs and Arghy does Friday. We want to keep it going, but no one has enough time to devote to doing it full time.
