Satan runs rampant through the world even without inviting him, how very misguided of them.

Using “Callithump” will not expand my language abilities. It will get me strange looks. If you put together all the people who understand “Callithump” you wouldn’t have enough to fill a phone booth.

I did enjoy my visit out there, but I avoided liberals.

I am headed back to the place that installed my car starter...the doors won’t open with the clicker, so they need to fix that again. Second time it’s happened.

I think I want the USA back is probably in a position to get his way here - like any liberal who doesn’t like something the majority likes, he can stomp his feet and whine like a freaking 3 year old until everyone has to bend to his wishes. So are you a liberal I want the USA back?

don't wait for a response, he/she just whines and runs.

It is no surprise that they are trying to bring down white/preppy Lilly Pulitzer. Have you never put a cartoon or pic on a fridge or somewhere to aid you in a weight loss program? that seems far more likely than a company seeking to fat-shame an entire class of people. ANY designer type clothing is made only in smaller sizes, generally speaking.

Double-Check ALL of the functions before you leave: Door, starter, lights, alarm, trunk unlock ...

It is acceptable when Mooshelle claims kids are too fat (and cuts school lunch calories) or continually reminds folks to exercise, but when a fashion designer says what everyone thinks it is the end of the freaking world!

Every magazine editor in the world feels the exact same way - but this new meme of "fat shaming" is ridiculous. No one wants to be fat

It is overcast and so humid you can probably wring water out of the wind...

Those protest organizers
Who visit Sharpton’s bed
Don’t hope for a callithump-
They want a riot instead

A riot that will get attention
Like the ones in LA for King
With the burning and looting
So everyone gets some bling

Too bad if businesses close
And the owners will not hire-
That is just part of the fun
When lighting places on fire...

At the risk of being a real bitch, I have to say I’ve never known anyone I thought wanted to be overweight, but I’ve known plenty of people who overeat for all sorts of reasons-those who care about their appearance and health do something about it, the ones who don’t give a damn don’t do anything but demand that everyone cater to them.

If someone chooses to be overweight, that is their right, and the nanny government needs to just STFU and leave everyone alone. On the other hand, those overweight people who choose to not lose weight don’t have the right to be accepted, accommodated and never offended, any more than anyone else does-being overweight as an adult is a choice...

Strangely, the only really overweight people you see out here are tourists and other visitors, even in the nearest/biggest town-less than 900 people. I don’t know if it is the dearth of fast food restaurants-Dairy Queen is it-the work people do, etc-but I suspect it is in part because it is the norm to grow as much of your own food as you can.

LOL...they keep fixing it for free, can’t fault them. It was a loose wire. All fixed and no bill. They guarantee their work till you sell the car. Never a charge when I take it back.
