Ron Reagan doesn’t do this one, does he? he used to do one of them. i can’t stand that mincing ninny.
another thing that’s going to irk the crap out of me is that SHEMP smith is en route to Rome, i saw on Twitter yesterday. NO WAY can i stomach a nonCatholic homosexual reporting on the Pope’s resignation and replacement.

Thanks. I need to have my knees replaced, and the last thing I need is another dog until I’m well. Yet, I’m already browsing the rescue organizationg websites for another Golden. He was a really big part of our lives.

oh, I know the prayer, even have a statue of St. Michael by my bed. I was having nightmares and Fr. C recommended saying the prayer at bedtime, I did and bought the statue around that time, too...never had another nightmare. When things throw me now and I sense evil...I quote “get behind me, Satan”...and let it go. Works for me.

You should have added Vast’s name to that last post. He would be pleased.

If a witch arrives at the lawyer’s office after her former lover’s will was read and approved, can all of her claims be immediately rejected because she was hexpostoolated?

that’s great. i bought xshub a st michael medal at the Vatican. i think i’ve FINALLY got a chain that won’t break. i spent a lot of $ on a chain there at the Vatican and it broke relatively quickly, had it repaired, broke again and then bought another one and IT broke. I guess i needed a heavier gauge. The first one was white gold, but i think the sterling will be a bit stronger and i did get a heavier gauge.

Caps fans are a bit disgruntled.

It seems my diocese has a Fillipino connection. We just got a new one for parochial vicar after breaking in the previous one for a couple years.

yeah with former Cap goalie Jose Theodore [aka THREE OR MORE] in net for FL, and who true to his nickname gave up five goals to the caps. I still actively dislike sidney crosby [and think he’s a latent homo LOL] but i will give you that he is committed to his sport and he works his ass off at it. Ovie does not and i am so disgusted with this current group that i want them to suck so badly the rest of the way through this season so that either GMGM is fired or he finally has to just admit it and blow the team up and reconfigure it. xsteen and i were just discussing it and i said the caps team is a cancer-ridden corpse at this point.

Is Hunter still coaching? I haven’t been paying that much attention.

No, his contract ended at the end of the season.The same day Adam Oates, former Cap, entered the hall of fame, he was made Caps coach. i can't fault him all that much, he's the third coach in a yr's time basically. I fault the players. But for instance the other day the practice was OPTIONAL. there should not be any OPTIONAL practices. if we had TORTS as coach, those guys would be busting their behinds every single day. xshub's opinion= they are treating this like a dang country club.

Optional practices allow those who are banged up a little rest. It’s a discretionary thing.

When Scotty Bowman was coaching the Penguins it got so he was not allowed on the ice with the players when they were practicing. Yes, the head coach was banned by the players!

These things go in cycles. You need someone to come in and crack heads every once in a while. Therien did that in Pittsburgh with the current crew.

Alex Semin is doing GREAT in Carolina with Eric Staal. he was a part of our problem last year. Just being excised from the cancerous corpse has freed up him to do well.
