The Public utilites should start including a form on the bill, requiring customers to check off boxes, acquiescing to the building new/upgrading existing facilities. This way the next time it happens, the NIMBY crowd can wait to get their power last..... Great idea!!!!!!!!!

I had a brand new sharp pencil but Vast stolid and gave it to Agnes Heap. I know Anges Help would not have stolid, she thinks it's a gift.

Morning!
Ms. Van de Putte is in everyone's face
With her stolid adherence to the issue of race.
But there's something that isn't quite right...
Is it just me, or does she really look white?

I walk away from the keyboard to get a cup of coffee, and look, we have 48 flipping posts on the new thread.
Have to go back and read the WFTD.

Following the saga of Idi Amin requires that one be somewhat
stolid; otherwise, the conflicting stories would just drive you downright crazy:
Idi Amin is dead...again or
maybe not.

Vast needs to post a double PMS alert! You aren't alone.
