The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Are you serious? That is just too spooky.
The feral dogs that are sometimes in the woods here have better manners than most of that pack...
Interesting that the Devil appears wearing a hoody.
I caught the resemblance while watching last night, and had to laugh at what has got to be the producers’ sense of humor.

Color me shocked — shocked! — to find out the turnpike commission is corrupt.
excellent! A+++
i can’t believe it’s DEMS... ; )
no political stickers, just prolife plates and magnets from my kids schools. i would be keyed to ribbons in that garage if i had a romney sticker. recall i was berated in the street by the belligerant lib over the Bush Cheney sticker several years back?? as it is i have been keyed and all i can figure is its the prolife plates. or a Georgetown fan : ) There is actually a car in there parked not too far from me with a HOYA02 license plate, i snapped a pic of the license plate and sent it to my family and said, well here’s a prime suspect in the keying of my car in this garage...
Patronage works in PA cause both parties share more or less equally.
What’s remarkable here is that the newly elected Atty General (Dem) is moving forward with this.
The cynic in me makes me wonder what she plans on doing to Corbett or the GOP later.
oh and i do have a YINZ magnet on my car as well...
A+++ i can’t count anything yet, i don’t have the strength for another election just yet!
A+++ fingers crossed and prayers offered for work for you guys!
good one!!! A+++
Hockey turns my stomach lately but Greenie looks good with long hair. Our scoring guys are injured(we have 5 out) and our team keeps imploding on itself. Last night was nuts. Our coach said he cannot give a logical answer for an illogical act when asked why one of our forwards came off the ice to give the Oilers a 2 on 1 chance. We were screaming at the TV “What are you DOING???” And we still have to play Columbus tomorrow.
A+++ isn’t that the truth!
it has been a stomach churning season. he looks ok in these pix but in others he looks like a HOMELESS MAN! thank God John Carlson cut his hair bc he looked HIDEOUS. Caps won last week and immediately took to twitter with chest-beating, it was RIDICULOUS! so of course they lose in Boston.
I don’t think we have won 2 games in a row this season! They’ll play great and then POW, get slammed the very next game. However, we have played poorly up to 4 games in a row. WHY???
Plenty of seats left on the Penguins bandwagon. Come on in.
Why just last week they became the first team ever to win 2 consecutive games in regulation after being shut out and trailing after 2 periods.
Thank you-for both the grade and prayers. Keeping a positive outlook and approaching everything in a logical manner will out, eventually...
