OMGosh......teleprompter ran away or something? LMAO Love the part where the aide tripped rushing out a hard copy. O probably was clueless about what he was going to say.

It’s been a long time since I was around babies and toddlers but knew you’d understand, with the time you spend with little ones.

It will keep you young to be around the little ones.

Having a puppy has been a joy. Hadn’t realized the hole in my life a puppy would fill. Buffy is the sweetest little thing. Unconditional love.

Thank you! I hope he goes down hard-forced out, charges filed and all that fun stuff.

I found out about the jerk being about to cheat another construction person totally by accident, from a clueless acquaintance who gossips a lot-the minute the name of my friend and electrical work done were mentioned in the same sentence with that lying con artist’s, I made it a point to ruin the fun and get my friend paid in full-now. Times are hard enough these days without doing work and not getting paid.

I got a sincere thank you, and the word is out about the bad customer-he will not get someone reputable in any nearby community to do any work for him...

Oh, what a happy day for her. Congratulations to her for a job well done. I loved all the stories of her coming of age and defending conservative positions.

I do, thank you. Really stupid that jealousy prevents so many from seeing a great player.

Sorry how that played out tonight. I think you may see a new coach soon. We felt bad for Vokie. He did his part.

I dont know about a coaching change. We shall see.

I sure hope Boston doesnt start playing 5-4 type games in the final. Wed look really stupid if The western team scores a lot.

0-22 for power play and swept in that round. I can almost guarantee a new coach.

I don’t think a diff coach could have done anything differently. I think you need new goalies!

Caps fans think that Bylsma should be kept on and that the fault lies with the team. if they do fire him, he will be snapped up in an nanosecond. Maybe by the Rangers.

Goaltending is not the problem when you lose 1-0 and 2-1 games. Especially with this assortment of players.
