The video was me in a devil costume. Go to my FR homepage and you can see me and the missus.
I gotta get up tomorrow so I'll see ya later.
Good morning! I didn't get by last night because my next door neighbor came by, but I'll help myself to coffee, if you don't mind, before I'm off to read for awhile...
"I am still (pleasantly) surprised they actually did the smart thing and shot down a ban here."
God Bless my adopted state of New Jersey for that one. It's one great reason to continue to call it home. And the legislature moved swiftly and unanimously to re-instate Ladie's Nights at bars, etc.
Hey, a few years ago I might not have supported that, but now my atitude is, if the left is for it, i'm against it, no matter how sensible an idea it might, on its face, seem. Because I have learned that no matter what the left says it is doing, in its heart of hearts it is trying to destroy our civilization.
Congrats!!!!!
I hit the old sackaroo real early last night I was practically asleep on my feet.
We're taking Jax to a kids fishing tournament this morning and then going to head for our favorite spot for surf fishing for a picnic. hubby's gotta work tomorrow - so we're doing fathers' day today.
Oops. Hi Bye
Congratulations Joe!!! I wish them many years of happiness!
Sorry I missed the ping. I got involved in a thread about Paul Johnson. Sickening.
Lost 4 more teenagers. Drinking and driving and speeding. The young driver lost control, went off the road and wrapped his vehicle of steel around a tree.
But the state can be proud.......none of the young men smoked! /rant off
I love it!
how sad.
But you're right - at least they weren't smoking.
This goes right over the anti's head.
To the anti's, everything else is a "condition," but smoking is just plain evil. Have to get rid of the evil you know.
IMHO, the anti's are worse then the Taliban......wanting complete control no matter HOW they get it!
If a smoker dies, he will have "75" nicotine patches waiting for them in Heaven. heh!
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
