I would plan everything just so that I still had time to take a bus back. I liked to walk around New places, that was all. Sometimes I didnt make it and had to call my mother.Hardest. . . phone . . .call. . . ever.You?

Win points for the highest number, BUT, you have to follow the complicated rules below.RULES1. This challenge is based on your current real and legal name. You are NOT being asked to post your real name, that information is private, we don't know your real name, so your honesty and integrity are key here. 2. If you have a middle name, nickname, pet name, stage name, pen name, alias, etc; they cannot be used as part of this challenge. Hyphenated names, either first or surname, can be used (Mary-Kate or Martinez-Gomez).3. If you have ever legally changed your name, either first name or last name, you can only use one first name and one last name for this challenge.For example, married women who took their husband's last name may choose between their maiden last names or married last names, but not both. Subsequently, with multiple name-changes based on several marriages, only one surname can be used here. Peop... less

"Don't worry about our being on parole, we won't even be seen," you said.

Why have they only been repealing and attacking and complaining and not working on the plan so it could be implemented on DAY ONE of the new prez administration? A Republican said "they will immediately repeal the plan and then probably sunset it for 5-10 years to give Republicans time to create/implement a suitable plan!" SAY WHAT? They have NOTHING ready at all? NOTHING? ZERO? ZILCH? NADA? Ya gotta be kidding me. What makes them think they will ever have anything? How many decades is it gonna take them? Unless it's all lies and they never had anything. Mebbe. This is where the sh** hits the fan. This is where they have to pay up or shut up! Which do you think they will do? less

A head of state intent on having his way on everything or a political body that fights to preserve the spirit and letter of The Constitution? Will the political body be able to withstand the demands of the head of state or will roll over and do his bidding?

If the latter it would relieve me of a huge burden of worry that weighs me down. When circumstances change sometimes you change. Anyone got a dependable crystal ball I can look into?
