Our temps changed for the worse late last week..........mid 60s with wicked winds is all we're going to be lucky with this week.

It's been down right cold every morning.

[Gabz]

A hot roll in the hay with your honey? LOL!

YEAH - someone got it right!!!!!!!!!!

I know about my great-great grandfather and grandmother on the maternal side. My grandmother was actually a college graduate. She was a teacher in Iowa. They all spoke English, so I imagine they were born here.

On my paternal side, it's the same thing.

Maybe they all met on the Mayflower. Dang that ship must have been full.

[Soaring Feather]

Thanks Jack, nice.

That's why we took my mom's keys and car away. She would forget and do something like that, but she would have great-grandchildren in the car. Gives me the shivers.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Afternoon Jack!

Perhaps Pope Benedict asked Mrs. Blaire to wear white. I haven't seen that post yet.

ingrate



No gratitude does the ingrate hold
pushing the limits is their goal
disrespecting our nation as a whole
and we let them do it away back when
the PC Cops printed all forms in two
languages so that our benefits they could reap
from this nation of compassion.

Now they are the entitled ones
flying their flags above ours

when my grandparents came from abroad
they learned this language and worked very hard
I am of Finnish stock and these people farmed on rock
and tilled a living from the ground
and never asked for one thing

Fact: Finland the only nation to repay it's debt to America.

Registering known illegal immigrants? I do believe that is a felony. Gather 'em up.

No. He grew up in a hotel room in DC. ;) He spent some summers here as a kid but doesn't hang around this state too often and we like it like that.
