I don’t get much interested in his personal life, whether he or his friends are homosexual, heterosexual or asexual, because there are so many stupid public statements of his out there now...
That said, if I were the first wookie, I’d be boffing a good-looking guy on the sly-it isn’t like the first idiot is going to go Bill Clinton on her-he probably doesn’t even know where Ft. Marcy Park is...
can’t bear to think of him at all, i try to pretend he doesn’t exist!
Filled with assorted sizes, styles and colors...
If he continues down the path to being the lamest duck ever with his dumb statements, he might very well be that irrelevant. Aflac...

Thank you for getting there before I did...lol
Aside from the Obvious,...irony abounds, the Highway off my house is 280....ROR
I’m really into conservation of natural resources, but reusing a thing like that is entirely too unsanitary to even think about-I mean, moss or leaves are what you do if you find yourself using the loo in the woods sans TP...
I use the cloth bags for mostly non-food purchases-sometimes I might put cans, or boxes/bags of dry stuff like rice, dog food, etc in them, but never anything frozen or wet-ewww!

Thank you! How cold was it over your way? It was 18 here at 6am, and it is 30 now-but the sun is shining and it is supposed to get up to 48 or so..
Wow, that is extreme. I’m sure they get a smug feeling when seeing toilet paper commercials on tv... they are so above that!

That was really nice of that evil hateful company!
We are like babies in this house - we’ve gotten turned around so we stay up until 2am, then sleep until 10.... so I don’t know how cold it got....sorry. They were predicting 26 overnight - 18 is very cold!
A+++
Nicely done, Vast.
