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....

All of the teachers at my high school drove nice cars and had nice homes. I don't think they know what a low salary really is.

[Laura Earl]

Good for you!

[Gabz]

I don't disagree that MADD and the gun control folks were/are predominantly female - but the rest of his crap is just that - crap.

I've been fighting those type women for years and years - yet he lumps me into the same category as them.

That I find offensive.

[Laura Earl]

And I just realized which thread you are on. I was lurking on it later. Flurry's buddy Laz was cracking me up!

[Gabz]

I've been a news junkie all my life - why do you think I went into journalism and then became a lobbyist??????

[NeoCaveman]

I've been fighting those type women for years and years - yet he lumps me into the same category as them.

And for that I thank you. IT is the unfortunate thing about averages.

[Gabz]

That guy needs a good kick in the nads.

I agree - but I have no more time right now to stick with it - gotta deal with the school stuff and have to leavein 10 minutes!!!!

Here's the thread.

[RikaStrom]

We can but hope. I am looking forward to this election.

A+

[RikaStrom]

Eck!

A+++

[Gabz]

Thanks dubs, I appreciate your vote of confidence.

Now he's claiming I'm not truly Christian because I should be willing to give up my right to vote to get rid of those type of women.

I'd rather keep my vote to get rid of his type of men!!!!!

[RikaStrom]

Well, if wanted to keep any secrets, he should have never entered the political ring. Unfortunately, he's been in Hollywood so long, that most of this information has already been disseminated.

A+

[RikaStrom]

Aww, aren't you a sweetie?

You know what I think of those school systems that are allowing this sort of behavior. 13 times to pass a test they should have passed at least on the 3rd attempt? And why do they get so many attempts?? And quit calling it racist, why don't you call it what it truly is... total and complete ignorance and stupidity on the part of these "teachers".

A+

[NeoCaveman]

Now he's claiming I'm not truly Christian because I should be willing to give up my right to vote to get rid of those type of women.

Check it out, I just responded to it.

We have 2 issues here now, I think I'll thump him on his second issue, not that sufferage thing :-)

[Gabz]

I saw!!!!!!!

[NeoCaveman]

Unfortunately, he's been in Hollywood so long, that most of this information has already been disseminated.

I just hope it is all out there, already. Wouldn't be suprised if they didn't bring something up the weekend before the election...just like they did to GWB with the DUI

[Laura Earl]

Same here, except for the lobbyist part. I do my part to make the telecom industry fair and balanced for all.

[Laura Earl]

I feel sorry for wives of men like that until I remember that they have at some point made a choice to live with that repression.

[NeoCaveman]

Hehehehe I'm bad. Starting a holy war and all that....

[RikaStrom]

LOL
