Well, now that you’re a whole year older, I will turn to you for advice!
That, I got.
Not much else though. 😁
Although I DO have Coffee. ☕️
Coffee and advice? What more could a person ask for?!
Well a (small) yacht would be nice.

I have mixed feeling on this. As much as I think the perp deserves to die, if he’s in prison for life, isn’t that worse? Not speaking at all about the afterlife.
“As much as I think the perp deserves to die, if he’s in prison for life, isn’t that worse?”
You would think so.
He may end up with a death sentence in the end anyway while in prison. Some prisoners may not take to him and what he did.
The closest I ever came to owning a yacht was having a kayak and an inner tube
That one looks like it could be a lot of fun
Just think how much the state will pay to keep him alive over the years
Our Justice and penal system needs super restructuring
I think Sheriff Apario could be very helpful in providing innovative ideas for reform
Anyone entertaining A FEW OR MANY people Friday
Never to late to throw something together

“Just think how much the state will pay to keep him alive over the years”
It has been proven that a death sentence costs more.
“The death penalty is far more expensive than a system utilizing life-without-parole sentences as an alternative punishment. Some of the reasons for the high cost of the death penalty are the longer trials and appeals required when a person’s life is on the line, the need for more lawyers and experts on both sides of the case, and the relative rarity of executions. Most cases in which the death penalty is sought do not end up with the death penalty being imposed. And once a death sentence is imposed, the most likely outcome of the case is that the conviction or death sentence will be overturned in the courts. Most defendants who are sentenced to death essentially end up spending life in prison, but at a highly inflated cost because the death penalty was involved in the process.”

Good information, Spunky.
Best just lock him up and let Providence have its way.
Lol yes! We could sit and sip a few adult beverages on that thing, couldn’t we?
DOUBLE SERVED! Blake Lively And Brigitte Macron. | Candace Ep 210
“I received my subpoena from Blake today and Emmanuel Macron has sent me another strongly worded legal letter. Also, a Meghan Markle clip is circulating and it has inexplicably infuriated me. And I’m not sure why.”
Start at 11min 58seconds for the Emanuel Macron information.

The latter sentence is the definition of "inexplicably." Big sigh. Owens should know better. Does she not have a proofreader? /rhetorical

Very cool, stylin! That’s pretty exciting - and whole week worth of excitement! You have yourselves a great time! Happy Anniversary!
How great you’ve had so much time with family. I’m sure it’s easy to get spoiled in boxes. Stadium seating is tortuous . 15 minutes about my limit. 3 hours? Nope. Not happening
You’ll have some busy days ahead . Enjoy game hope your Cardinals do well
