Nothing new Linda. Hope you guys are having a good time.

I got some bad news yesterday though. I thought that I might be going back to work in another two weeks, but now, it looks like that might not happen. I'm not sure, but I'm starting to look into some other options for work. Maybe something completely different.

The guy that was running the parking lot there told me what to do, and I got in the car, and smoked the clutch, but I did finally figure it out. That car had no torque, and was a piece of crap. You know, like most Chryslers.

IMHO----- We need to enjoy what we have now because the dawn of a new America is upon us and it is never gonna be the same. We the people have allowed the Government to run our lives instead of us demanding that the government do OUR biding as the Constitution dictates. We have been running scared for so long that we think that is the way it is supposed to be, does this sound familiar. There is evil out there , be afraid be very afraid .

If you're right , then Im SUPER ****ed .

The Govt. has been a self serving enterprise for the past 50 years .

Republicans , Democrats , it makes no differance .

Its about getting the money to your supporters and campain contributers .

Now , instead of defence contracts , the .gov is handing out the cash to the "green" corporations .

Just more of the same bull**** .

The only real , and terrible differance is this time , the dumb **** in the white house is bankrupting this county .

Actually, in the summer of 1969, I WAS A CABANA BOY at the ABH. I opened the cabanas for all the MILFs, and old ladies with their kids, got food for them from the restaurant, and set up card tables for the men so they could smoke cigars and play poker on the weekends. It was a good job back then ( taking home $150 cash). I ended up getting fired because I went to Woodstock, and never showed up for work that weekend. It was a good reason though.

Hey, a friggen woodpecker was just knocking on my house. The noise scared the crap out of me til I figured out what it was.

Dubya was no genius either, and he and Paulsen started giving away our money first. They just gave it away, and never even asked where it was going.

on the rest of your statements. They're all hacks, thieves, pornographers, character assasins, and self centered scum. You never see a poor politician. Even if they start that way, they sure don't end up like that.

Never took acid. Alot of other stuff went into me to cause the mental state that I'm in, but no acid. I did have a good time there. I still have my original tickets which were never collected at the gate.
