Or are you just lying for some reason?
Half Whit made it illegal for me to to go see my Mother to see how she is doing and she can kiss my rear.
On a related note, my brother lives in Cali and reports that most people are just ignoring the shelter in place nonsense. 70's and sunny. Nobody is staying inside.
I thought I’d give you a reason to exist here.
So basically you lied.
Why? There wasn’t any need for it.
Just getting you some jollies maybe?
bkmk
Nope.
Why would anyone do that?
What stopped you from posting it all right here?
hooray ted
Hey what’s wrong with jolly’s? :-)
I’ve come up with a list of my own. Feel free to use!

Dear Lord, what a control freak that judge is.
