Trump knows how to negotiate with these people. He'd never tolerate such a long delay to open. **Render unto D. Julius Caesar Trump...

My son (who had not seen my laundry room, which is a multipurpose room where I have a 2nd office) said, “Isn’t red awfully formal for a laundry room?” I’ve been laughing ever since. I didn’t even know he knew the meaning of “formal”, let alone anything about decorating. I guess his wife has civilized him more than I was ever able to do! LOL

Me too. Was it Tony Robinson in “The Worst Jobs in History” series? They also used old urine for tanning leather.

Stupid headline.

If the public was utilizing the business 2000 years ago, then this in 2016 is not the first time it is “open to the public.” Repurposed now, but still not the first time.

I read something about the per capita amount of alcohol of all kinds that colonial Americans drank, and it made my liver recoil in absolute terror! They sound like they must have been three sheets to the wind all the time!
