Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Morning! ti is winding up her CA vaca, post-wedding, it appears.
I was just going to ask about her! My husband is finishing up his Jersey trip.....no more WaWa Italians in his immediate future.....
Yabbut those aren’t any good when your leg in ligamentious.
health food! LOL!
Yes, I think he had a sandwich every day!
The man claimed to simply be forgetful and continually “lost” his false teeth, but after going through 9 sets he was clearly tendentious .....
; ) A+++
My favorite comment on that article was that Katie Couric is Brian Williams in drag.
Once he is back in Texas, he can get flatbread sandwiches that are very similar to WaWa’s at just about any Quik Trip now.
CBS’s O’Donnell to Gov. Haley: Does GOP ‘Have a Problem With Women Voters?’
Gee, given that Katie took that line of questioning, maybe candidates and officeholders need to start alleging a VLWC....
(I know that WE know it’s just herd/pack mentality...but...the insult takes too long to iterate...)
Hence my use of the modifier "another" for both "media whore" and "successful GOP female leader".
Spent the morning delivering ivoices in the drizzle-but my face-to-face method got all put one paid on the spot-my contractor compadre is happy with that...
Hillary is so intent on
Just avoiding the press-
So all her tendentious
Remarks just make a mess
Whatever she says in public-
Or what Bill and Chelsea say
Makes her look more evasive
And more dishonest each day
Her snobby nature re-emerges
And that should be no surprise-
She told the secret service
Not to dare look in her eyes...
Might work best if I spelled it right-make that “invoices”...
Now it’s supposed to be 88 tomorrow and Friday, and 91 on Saturday.
Going to need to put the window ACs in.
Yeah, Had to put away the full face for the half helmet.
But shorts and sneakers is far better than long johns and boots....4:30 AM in February is no treat...no gloves work in that weather
Unreal how clueless they are! A++++ good for you, getting paid!!
Going to game four tonight. Wanted to tell you how valuable Niskanen and Orpik have been, the caps are a better team with them. They’re “our” Penguins ; )
I figured you were being all quiet about the Caps to not jinx them. That game they won in the last seconds was something all right.
