Trump is pretty PO about it but I think he better get used to it because now that they did it once they will keep doing it. Cheers!

On the third day, however, the volume was blasted to an insane level. The weather was pleasant enough that I had my windows open to enjoy the breeze. I know he drinks heavily, and trying to reason with a drinker is like trying to get grammar cops to ignore errant apostrophes, so I merely closed my windows and weathered the binge. I know from dealing with him in the past that a knock on his door wouldn’t have ended well (we’ve been neighbors for 18 years), and it wasn’t a matter that required law enforcement intervention. Half an hour later, it was over as he turned off the music on his own. I have never placed him nor any other neighbors of mine in that situation.

We enjoyed a long-termer that was only broken up when she had to move to the other side of the country and we decided against trying it long-distance.
“L.” couldn’t stand me and ended the date early in sheer disgust, called me the most negative man she had ever known. We never spoke with each other again and disappeared from each other’s lives. ~ less

There’s only one way this plays itself out, and I need an answer now, not tomorrow, not in an hour, not in fifteen minutes. So what’s it going to be, you have the scratch or do I have to throw you back to the wolves?

Please quit pretending that only the politicians who you like or support are the ones who do everything correctly. Politics as usual, and all politicians play politics.

Ballroom Blitz was the first song I heard this morning so it made me think up this question. Cheers!

The movie is timeless to me now -- it all could have happened yesterday. (And it was the first movie I saw with Montgomery Clift - he remains probably the best actor I've seen, overall. No matter what movie role, he always comes across as authentic, a real person, honest. Oh, yeah -- and incredibly handsome, ha. Guy Pearce is right up there with Monty, too, for me.) less

I really recommend it if you haven't seen it. I bet you'll find it worth your time.This is Julianne Moore in the gif.

And every time I look up the video, it now has subtitles. (I find them distracting.)And they have inserted supposed unspoken thoughts of people in the video - - even more annoying to me. :)EDIT: Well, they don't want it posted. :) Here's a link to a youtube video :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rOiW_xY-kc&list=RD5rOiW_xY-kc&start_radio=1 less

I’ll delete my name from them as the “accused”, Jane S’ name as the “victim”, and replace them with Livvie as the accused and my name as the vic! It’s a perfect plan, it’ll work like a charm, and finally I’ll have some peace and quiet! (I’m so happy.)~

That's what I experienced. I felt about 95% better one day last week- my only symptoms were mild fatigue and swollen lymph nodes. I felt so good I got up and started scrubbing my house. Within about 24 hours, my fever and chills were back though.I can see how easy it might be for someone to think they're well and go out and spread it during one of these lulls.Do any of you have info on what causes them, how many times it can happen, etc? Or how you can tell if you're really well? less

I steped on her hose which cut off the water presser and she started shaking the watering wand wondering what was wrong with it. After a few seconds I took my foot off the hose and she started watering the plants again. After a few seconds I steped on her hose again and she started shaking the watering wand again. I kept doing the same thing for a couple of minutes and I would of got away with it if not for those meddling kids - they started laughing and pointed me out to the lady. Cheers! less
