If you haven’t heard, Congress is currently discussing a $700 Billion bail out of our banking and investment system. Or something like that. I honestly am confused on who gets the money, why they get it and how all this happened. I took economics in college, but I must have skipped the day we talked…

It’s simple, really. The internet keeps EVERYTHING for the rest of all time. No matter what it is, why you put it there, or how important it is to remove it, the stuff you put there is always around somewhere. I don’t really care about your MySpace page where you put the photos of you…

It’s great to have lessons to learn from. But hey! We’re American’s. Screw you and your easily assembled furniture. Sweden’s economic crisis.

Anyway, here is her email if you can help: zdza@eircom.netorelizebethdonax1@ig.com.brorshifalika9@yahoo.comorsisteralisadona01@hotmail.fr All these were listed, so I don’t know how to get back to her, but I’m sure that with God involved, it’s…

Have you ever broken open a peach pit? I just did. There is a little seed inside. Blew my mind. And the kicker? That seed smells like a bottle of Amaretto was spilled in there. Who knew that peaches grew from drops of Amaretto? I always thought the pit was just a seed. Turns out…
