Etymology: 1660-70; obsolete mawk maggot ( late Middle English < Old Norse mathkr maggot) + -ish1. See maggot

The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.

Practice makes perfect.....post on....

I know, I always feel terrible for the player who has to carry the loss on his shoulders. he must be replaying that mentally a zillion times over.

I am working on another bid for another construction contract with our Florida office. I’m learning their way of doing stuff. All of our offices do stuff very differently.

I’ll say hi to xsteen if I see her. I’m sure xsgrandbaby will be just fine in xssil’s care.

Hope her trip isn’t as long as mine, been here since Wednesday, scheduled to go home thursday and there’s a good chance that will get pushed another day. :(

The mawkish video shows that Debbie Wasserman Schultz will not answer the question if her children were human before their birth. So what were they, Debbie?. I pity her poor children.

Of course she couldn’t answer the question, bc NEVER would she go against the party line in such a way, but she knows her children were human prior to their birth. just can’t SAY so.

If his son really asked him to run he would have done so before now and before folks had to beg him to run. By hesitating, then claiming his son wanted him to, he proves what a douchebag he really is by possibly not fulfilling his son’s wishes -or, as I believe, by just making the whole story up

After the hit on her head sHrillary appeared mawkish.
Her server she sought to demolish.
She changed her tune
right after the swoon
Trey Gowdy will soon make her look foolish.

He must be spinning in the grave that he wishes he was in.

Seriously though, there have been death threats issued against him via anti-social media websites. I wish I could do something for him.

I just checked it out, his follow up book is a non-fiction work about the Shemitah. I am not inclined to read it, being a Catholic, I have plenty non-fiction to read.

So, she refuses to affirm her own children for fear of breaking from the party line. Very telling.

I don’t think JoeyB will get in, he’s squandered months on this, if he was going to do it he would have by now. The way Trump is filling venues, he is the one to beat. Not sure anyone will, not that I understand it at all.
