Our priorities are 100 percent perfect. A gifted actress does compared to a tramp trying to make trump look bad. Patty earned these threads.

It’s getting ridiculous. You don’t even have to do a search to see this is getting posted over and over and over again.

Not everything is about you.

This is the very first thread I have seen on the subject and represents how I was informed of her untimely death.... right here, right now, this thread.

Complain to The Boss.

Oh and by the way,, just because YOU haven’t heard about something doesn’t mean it needs to have 27 threads posted today.

I ALWAYS do a search before I post a thread but you don’t even need to do a search. All you need to do is scroll.

Take your whine to the top. Save the seals. Save band width. Save your breathlessness. Clean your closet.
