[FormerRep]

FormerRep - I was a staunch Republican ticket voter until I watched the suicide conservatives trot out one re-tread after another and then bend like willow when the political winds blew against them. The tradition of eating our own sickened me. I changed my party affiliation to Independent (constitutionalist) - hence : FormerRep

[The Mayor]

You could say that..

[The Mayor]

[firebrand]

Someone in the Giuliani administration called me firebrand, back in my neighborhood activism days.

[GOPsterinMA]

No.

[Larry - Moe and Curly]

Name’s Larry. Thought I’d bring the other two stooges along for the ride.

[ManHunter]

It’s a moniker I was given while I was in the Army. Interestingly, the same moniker was given to me years later when I helped set up a fugitive apprehension program for the US Marshals Office. After getting it twice, I thought it must be mine.

[CAluvdubya]

Much has changed since I signed up -------- I lived in Cali, and I was thrilled to get rid of the Clintons and have "W" and decency in the White House.------ hence, CAluvdubya

Now I live in Nevada (Northern, not in Reid territory) and not thrilled with W at all. ((((sigh)))))

Great tribute to your Dad.

Thanks.

[super7man]

Yes, it is a Birkiin. I got a lot a advice and even bought some parts from the folks in Vacaville. I was in San Jose at the time and it took me about 6 months to build it. It was one heck of a fun ride. Sold it a few years ago.

[knarf]

Be as strong as the face your Dad gave you, my Friend.

Trust in the Lord in all thy ways and He will guide thy path

Thank you SO much for sharing ... I have a few photos of my parents and a lot were lost in a fire two years ago.

Good Morning!

[Did they misspell their own name?]

Apparently, I wasn't a huge fan, just grew up in that era.

[Liberty Valance]

Thank you Kathy. Had a fun birthday. My sister and BIL took me to Pint & Plow for sandwiches and beer. Tasty. ;o)
