Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Riley says "God wants, no commands us to vote Yes."

[Conspiracy Guy]

Dry county inconvenience is a pain. Alcohol is there for the locals, but outsiders have a hard time getting the bootlegger to sell to them. IF a county has a dry vs wet vote going on. The vote dry sign in a person's yard means they are a preacher or a bootlegger. Being dry is a sure way to get county residents to spend their money somewhere else. Then everyone whines about a shortage of tax revenues. DUHHHHH!!!!

[Laura Earl]

Well I haven't heard a word from God about voting yes...have you?

[Conspiracy Guy]

HE didn't bring it up this morning.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Are we to list him under the "handicapped" in jobs section?

(Seems it'd be cruel to place him above somebody else when they're both applying for employment....)

[Laura Earl]

HE told me to try not to flip anyone off in traffic.

[Conspiracy Guy]

HE told me to support Roy Moore for having some guts.

[Laura Earl]

HE said it was okay when I remotely popped my car trunk in parking lots while old people walked by just to see them jump AFTER I pointed out to HIM that he made the ostriches.

[Conspiracy Guy]

HE has a great sense of humor on some matters.

[Texan5]

Thank You, kind sir!

"Ranger Rick" magazine?

If you think that's bad, imagine getting caught reading "Tinkle Digest".

No, it's not what you think - it's a comic book for children from India. Stylistically and humour-wise, it resembles the Archie & Jughead comics here in the States.

It's a pretty neat idea - kids send in their story lines, and professional comic book artists turn it into a comic.

There is a man in town that size and I see him often in wal-mart riding on of their electric carts and ALWAYS eating a hot dog from the Radio Grill. Looking at him makes me wants to take his hot dog away.

[Laura Earl]

Ever notice how seldom you see a non-obese person riding one of those carts? The darn things should be banned.

[mikrofon]

Superb!

Liberals do not want people to experience real freedom, so they refuse all truth.

[Conspiracy Guy]

You'll see and old skinny person walking pulling one of those oxygen bottles on wheels and a young obese person on cart almost run them down.

[Laura Earl]

I almost stole a fatty's cart the other day while she was stretching up to snag a pack of cookies.

[Conspiracy Guy]

You don't get that big overnight. 20 soft drinks a day. I wonder how much their profit went up after he left.

[Texan5]

That's funny! One day I was at the supermarket in the city, and a really obese woman with a heavy German accent was getting on one of the motorized carts (she had walked in), when a a store employee told her very quietly that she had to get off, because those were only for people who could'nt walk. The woman made a terrible scene, shrieking and yelling that she was tired, and that it was hard to walk all over the store, but the employee stuck to her guns. Presently, the woman left in a huff, waddling out to her car. The comments made by customers and employees alike were both profane and unkind-and damned well justified. I hate to sound mean, but I have little sympathy for those whom the taxpayers are supporting because they can't learn to push the chair away from the table. I have had friends who were morbidly obese who lost weight as soon as they made up their minds to do it and have kept it off-I mentioned earlier a friend who has lost over 110 pounds, after having his stomach UNstapled after nearly dying from the side effects of it. He was able still stay obese with a stapled stomach by just eating starches and sweets. Interacting with a support group does wonders for those who have little or no willpower, as well.

[Texan5]

I just commented on something like that to honeygrl. It wouldn't hurt to ban them-all the really non-ambulatory people I know bring their own scooter or wheelchair to go shopping.

[Laura Earl]

How can a person stand to drink 20 soft drinks? It makes me feel bloated just thinking about it! I've never been able to handle more than 2 in one day, and since giving up aspartame, I don't drink more than 1 a week.
