All if a sudden I’m having that same issue with the iPhone. Didn’t change any parameters or login so I am not sure why it happens now.
Try “Most Convenient” on the right-hand side of the login page. So far, that has worked for me.
Perhaps a well-known and respected dictionary or English language textbook should use that set of three sentences to explore any nuanced differenes in their meanings.
Oh, have I mentioned that Obama is a liar?
A+++
Anyway you say it, Obama is a liar.
I don’t think “everybody” knows what is happening. A good half of them worry about Kimye and couldn’t name the VP or a Senator if you put a gun to their head.
Mike Johnston?
We’re growing those too!
You’re right. Half a century of liberals running the education system has turned us into a country of morons. There are still some of us more seasoned citizens who have a clue, but by and large, it’s Bread and Circuses (aka Kardashians and Reality Shows) for the great unwashed masses.
The really amazing thing to me: Because the United States had been the global economic leader for over a century, the populace still feels entitled to the high living standards enjoyed by previous generations. The current crop is too dumb to realize that those standards were earned by DINT of hard work, education, and sacrifice, along with delayed gratification. Those concepts are foreign to most young people, and all democrats.
saw that yesterday. that was positively orgasmic right there.
what?
New Penguins coach.
haven’t had any time for Twitter, when did this happen, who is he and are you happy? last night watched the NHL awards and thought Sidney actually kissed a girl before going up to accept the Hart, but guess it was only his sister....
Roger Waters was speaking of the species and not America, but the concept of “amused ourselves to death” still fits.

I wanted Ulf.
that’s too bad, maybe he will surprise you and be good.
He was coaching a junior A team. Previously assisted with Kings and Canucks, but that was 2008.
That’s what happens when they fire the GM first when the coach should have been fired and the GM kept to help hire a replacement. Poor judgment and waiting around means you don’t have the best candidates left when it’s time to hire. I heard Sid’s win was almost unanimous so congrats to him.
