I've worn them exactly twice before today, for a few hours each time. As I put them on today and began to tie the laces, I pulled to tighten them and the entire eyelet ripped as if it were made of onionskin paper, grrrrrrrr. Bring on the tariffs! Buy American!~DISCLAIMER: I'm just joking around. Oh, it happened just as I've written it above, it's just that the supposed anger is over-exaggerated. less

That dream came true and it was even better than I had imagined because we caught tons of fish and had fun doing it. There were about eight years there, until he discovered girls, that I would call my best years so far. But being retired, now that I'm getting used to the idea of not becoming rich or famous, is starting to shape up nicely too. I'll keep you posted.

I do.Oh, by the way -- I'm completely biased in my opinion, so I know I'm right, too! Ha!:)I saw the movie only once. I liked it a LOT, too. But I remember I had the same type of thoughts as expressed in the essay. Maybe not quite so strongly, though.:)
Dear the 2004 Romantic Drama The Notebook,
I know this seems like it might be coming a little late, but as they say - better late than never! After all, Allie waited seven years for Noah to come find her, never realizing that he had attempted to write her every day for a year but her mother intercepted all of the letters before they reached her. And when Allie and Noah finally did reunite after years and years of being apart, they discovered their passion for one another had not died at all. I've taken this to heart and decided that it's never too late to tell someone how you truly feel. So let me just say this...

Non-Christians should be loyal to country family or family county and not place one person above all others...especially when it is a politician! Makes no sense to label yourself that way unless you wish to damage yourself irreparably. Death wish?

Watching it again just now basically just saddened me."Garden State" surprised me in how much I enjoyed the entire movie.:)

My going rate was $5 per yard, regardless of size (there wasn't a wide nor extreme range in yard size then, the neighborhood had a lot of cookie-cutter development to it). Satisfying demand was simple to the point of being foolproof: go to the houses where the grass was badly in need of being cut, the person would see me standing there with my own lawn mower, the acceptance rate was about 80%. I carried the gas can with me so that I could extend my potential range of work area with stopping. My number one customer base was the elderly people, because they were so glad and grateful to have someone offer to do it rather than having to ask someone or look for someone. In a few short weeks, I had an actual route of repeat customers, some of whom I'd cut their grass so regularly that after a while, I didn't even need to knock on the door each time. We had an arrangement, and I'd collect later if they were not home. I never got stiffed b... less

The don speaks very highly of some folks until he doesn't then "distances" himself by lying and saying he didn't know the guy or barely knew whom he was and the guy is a liar or a creep or a whatever don thinks of saying . From feast to famine. From GOOD GUY to UNKNOWN to WHAT A BUM! Memory does this to some folks apparently. It is not dependable or credible or sustainable or maintainable. It is like mercury. You can't grab and hold it. It's slippery and slithery and could be very dangerous. less

He is gonna send FEDS down to Florida because of the right races there. If the right veered right he'd be extolling the virtues of the wonders of election!

They rolled over balled up and now burp and upchuck and poop as infants do. The people who buy what the don sells are also not to blame. They can't help themselves but more importantly they have no power at all. They get off on rallies and cheering LOCK HER UP. It soothes them and satisfies them and pumps them up and placates them and gets their blood roiling. Forever teenagers at rock concerts having a ball. Arrested devlopment. That's all they need or want. It is a tragedy. Not that don and his adoring fans are as they are but that those we elected to control them are AWOL. less

A compulsive liar isn't manipulative. He is sick. Do we forgive sick and accept it?

Perhaps due to winding down. Perhaps due to the way I'm wired. What about you? When are you the downest and when are you the opposite? Does it occur daily?
