Yes..That be the one.
Howdy Dave-o. We are back from surgery. My child is wearing a big black sling with a salient foam block to keep his arm in position. It is going to be difficult for him to manage no guitar for the next 2 weeks and we’ve had to postpone the road test for his license. He is not enjoying those facts.
What happened to him?
Get well wishes for your son. Lousy way to start out the summer.
I just smile at them and tell them I am very happy with my own faith and that I am so glad they know God intimately as well. They seem to come annually on the hottest day of the summer.....I will give them a bottle of water and let them use the bathroom which is right inside the front door. With my barking dogs they don’t even make a move to venture further. They are usually grateful for the water and potty break. Most of them are dropped off, I see someone comes back to pick them up at the park, so I try to be kind to them.
Dislocated shoulder for the third time. It won’t happen again. If he was over 40, he would just do PT but youth has a few disadvantages. Better to start healing before school starts up in August.
Thank you. He is zonked on the couch as I type.
i would have no problem bearing the title nutball of the neighborhood, nor should you! wear it with pride!
my gosh, but that must have been some prime sex he was getting.........his mistress is his “soul mate” and he is reconciling with his wife? the man is certifiably screwing HIMSELF now.
guess they don’t make BB guns with silencers, huh?
any wife taking him back after such a statement deserves him.
the wife is a fool. no doubt about it.
Looks like the Who was the salient feature at Woodstock:

(IHMO the best band in rock.)
That’s as it should be. Let the people know the impact of their decisions.
Hope I die before I get old...
er.
Damn, that stinks! Hope the healing process is quick and relatively painless!
