No work again today-our customer’s spouse filed for a divorce yesterday-I just found out late last night, when my compadre called to let me know...

Obama’s loss of credibility
Has put him in the light-
There isn’t any “off” switch
And the door is out of sight

He’s run off to Africa now
To take his message there-
But “gay” is not accepted
So that speech went nowhere

We’re chary of his every word,
And every action, as well-
I’m rushing to go galt soon,
As Rome burns and goes to hell...

I saw where the “star witness” in the Zimmerman trial said she can’t read cursive-well, I guess she only reads Twitter-does she write it, too...

I was chary of what to expect from TSA, but the people were just wonderful at both Nashville and Newark.

Typically, you'd find the Bruins' Zdeno Chary RE scoring opportunities by the opposition, but Chicago made him look ordinary at key times during their recent victory run...

She can’t read cursive, but apparently she can write it. She supposedly had written the letter she couldn’t read.

I heard yesterday that when called on that, she claimed “a friend” had written it-if so, have her name the friend...

I’m curious-didn’t they say this girl is going to community college, or something like that? Do people who can’t read graduate from high school?

I understand that, at age 19, she is going to be a high school senior this fall.

Most people graduate at 17-18-maybe they held her back because she can’t read?

I met a guy this week who was a freshman in HS at 16. I asked if he was a redshirt kinnygarner.

She admitted her friend wrote it and she signed a false name. RME It was admitted by the prosecution for their case. WTH?

She is 19 and had lied to say she went to college. I believe she is in high school and a junior or senior. RME She shouldn’t be out of grade school. She moves her head when reading and moves her lips. I am skeptical that she can read at all.

I think someone on the prosecution team said she grew up in a home where Spanish was the first language, to explain her seeming inability to understand English except when it suits her to do so.

But if that is true, why didn’t they get a Spanish-speaking translator for her-surely Spanish is a common second language in Florida, same as it is here.

They are good, but i usually go “upscale” with some brats or kielbasa. Lol.

My father in law does a spiral cur on sausages so they are like a spring when he grills them.

Model A? Was it a long time ago or an old car?

Both. Several of the guys in our high school drove restored Model As, and they liked to park them out front for everyone to see, instead of hiding them in the student parking lot. My husband bought his with his paper route money at 14 and restored it himself from the frame up, finishing it in time to get his license at 16. We still have a Model A, but a different one from the one he drove in HS.
