Practice makes perfect.....post on....
I haven’t watched any of those movies either - don’t really intend to. Sometimes I catch one via OnDemand here at the house but rarely pay for a movie out unless it is something I am really wanting to see!
It is 42 here, with sleet/snow predicted-and there are rainclouds to the southeast moving this way-and thunder-it is one of the weirdest things I’ve seen in awhile...
His salvo deserves a big round of applause. What horrified me were many of the Twitter comments. The hostility against religion you can cut with a knife.
Perfect. LMAO
Our news just did a weather update and said thunder and hail coming our way..plus sleet. Weird.
I don’t see class, so I am posting it for you. Hope all is well with you.
