Here it is, fellas...
Regarding the swimming pool from 60 years Ago, I believe they actually dammed off or diverted a part of the Salmon River to make a swimming pool.....Cuttn, can you correct me if I'm wrong--the only Island I'm aware of is by the bridge on Main Street.In today's world, they are working to get the funding to have a public swimming pool--I believe with indoor capabilities--so it can be used in winter.
And 80 Years Ago, that fella showed remarkablely good sense in not 'debating' with a Momma Bear!!
And 100 Years Ago, folks were still using guns to hurt other people!!! Even if it wasn't conventional usage! Here she is, loddy.
Yes....matter of fact, right here at Free Republic.
Hopefully, JimRob will exert a bit of his judgement on that of the friggin idiot and it will be all done.
I have a problem with liars, Lynn. My kid brother was one of the best....and then the Perverted Prez made me realize the kid was an amateur!!
Lying hurts innocent people often enough....I have no use for liars....I love my kid brother because he is family....but, sadly, I have no use for him....you can't trust him to ever tell the truth--and who knows, someday the truth will be told, but he won't be believed because of all the past lies.
Why can't prevaricators realize one lie needs another needs another and another til their whole life is just a bunch of lies.
Even more.....why is it necessary to hurt someone in order to make yourself seem more important? Cripes, I feel bad when I unintentionally or unknowingly hurt someone and find out down the road--so to intentionally hurt someone--I just don't get it.
I don't mind being average, or even a little below, but gawd, I'd be in a world of hurt if I qualified as a "democrat".....teheeeheeee.
Hi there!
LOL!
Some of the gaffes they make make Mo look like she won the spelling bee!! *grin*
