I got a kid in third year Honors BioEngineering running around with a nail in his tire... He wouldn't know which one, even with onboard computer telling him... Run flats make the "Tire Fairies" (Me) like it never happened. Did it happen? It was never seen. [We can go around and around all day and night on this. Don't underestimate the cluelessness of youth... Especially the "smart" ones. ??]

You totally misjudge engagement of youth nowadays... You gotta be kidding... LoL...

He needs a zillion dollars and a cannon arm. Ha! Yep... That would do it Too bad this isn't the lyrical response thread: "Youth is beauty Money is beauty Hell, beauty is beauty sometimes It's the luck of the draw It's the natural law It's a joke It's a crime I was bored You were bored It was a meeting of the minds Now it's three in the afternoon And I can't leave too soon Saying thank you, I had a nice time Take me home Take me home and leave me there Think I'm going to cry, I don't know why Think I'm going to sing myself a lullaby Feel free to listen Feel free to stare..."

I'll shine up my old brown shoes I'll put on a brand new shirt I'll get home early from work If you say that you love me

Wow! @Mike in Horseheads spreading FakeNews®...That's a shock. I'd report him if I were you. ??

Who's the one sicko that gave you a laugh for this? If I had guess... Betcha it was the @ShadyBillsFan character! /smh...

I am not sure we called AAA.

Wasn't Christie in a helicopter crash and then ditched Joel for the Dude in helicopter... Pilot or something?

Carpentry, then plumbing. But it's really close almost a tie!

Wait a sec... This guy was @ the Israeli protest? Which part did he come from:

That's fair enough. I see where you are coming from.

This must be the sexy thing to say. Think of the children! That's (causing a disruption on your precious individual existence) the whole point in civil disobedience. LMAO... Like anything will get done if nobody is bothered. I hate it as much as you if whatever is happening doesn't align with my beliefs and puts a dent in my rat race... YET, I fully understand why my inconvenience is taking place. Gee... Warn me first. I am in control. How lazy of a society have we become?

LoL... Ultra-Orthodox kryptonite!

This! One of my favorite Emily Dickenson poems: Because I could not stop for Death Because I could not stop for Death – He kindly stopped for me – The Carriage held but just Ourselves – And Immortality. We slowly drove – He knew no haste And I had put away My labor and my leisure too, For His Civility – We passed the School, where Children strove At Recess – in the Ring – We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain – We passed the Setting Sun – Or rather – He passed us – The Dews drew quivering and chill – For only Gossamer, my Gown – My Tippet – only Tulle – We paused before a House that seemed A Swelling of the Ground – The Roof was scarcely visible – The Cornice – in the Ground – Since then – 'tis Centuries – and yet Feels shorter than the Day I first surmised the Horses' Heads Were toward Eternity –

Hey Wile E. Barr... Just don't get the "Acme Boomerang," it's getting bad reviews on Amazon:

Rockets, moon shots Spend it on the have-nots Money, we make it Fore we see it, you'll take it Oh, make you wanna holler The way they do my life Make me wanna holler The way they do my life This ain't livin' this ain't livin' No, no baby, this ain't livin' No, no, no, no Inflation, no chance To increase finance Bills pile up, sky high Send that boy off to die Oh, make me wanna holler The way they do my life Make me wanna holler The way they do my life, oh baby Hang ups, let downs Bad breaks, set backs Natural fact is Honey, that I can't pay my taxes Oh, make me wanna holler And throw up both my hands Yea, it makes me wanna holler And throw up both my hands Crime is increasing Trigger happy policing Panic is spreading God knows where, where we're heading Oh, they don't understand Make me wanna holler They don't understand God bless you And Lord keep you And may you live, live, live a good life God bless you Lord keep you And may you live, live, live a long long sweet life Don't let the things get you down Hold you hands, baby, walk around Say God bless you And I'll keep you I'm praying a prayer for each and everyone of you Heaven bless you Heaven keep you

Other way around. He's the pedestrian looking one. What was her problem? Vanity is a mortal sin. There was an article how times have changed. Beauty now seeks out beauty even more extremely... That was Christie's problem. I will see if I can find it. To quote the Ani DiFranco lyrics, more like all the time: "Youth is beautyMoney is beautyHell, beauty is beauty sometimesIt's the luck of the drawIt's the natural lawIt's a jokeIt's a crime..."

Yep. Just age gracefully and take the lumps. Youth is fleeting. So what.

If You join the ShoutBox Club, it will stay open. RIP Sue... I never understood why the mob mentality ganged up on you. It's just what people do I suppose. Funny times, things were changing 14 years ago. So true. My mother passed away exactly 20 years ago @ 58...Almost 59 in 1999. Far too young.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. One man's nonsense is another's TIL...

He lived in Glencoe, Illinois. From Wiki: "The median income for a household in the village was $193,571, and the median income for a family was $235,000. Male full-time workers had a median income of $202,083 versus $65,549 for females. The per capita income for the village was $106,649, placing Glencoe among the 20 wealthiest communities in the United States.[11][12]Approximately 4.5% of the population and 4.7% of families were below the poverty line, including 4.7% of those under the age of 18 and 10.5% age 65 or older." How is this even possible? Are they hiding out in a potting shed behind a mansion on Lake Michigan?

[LMAO... Don't ask how this song popped into my mind! ? ] It's at times like this, the great heaven knows that we wish we had not so many clothes So let's loosen up with a playful tease like all lovers did through the centuries We're just following ancient history If I strip for you, will you strip for me? We're just following ancient history If I strip for you, will you strip for me? a-ha-ha When it gets so hot, the end of the day You may find your clothes getting in the way If a pretty dress hides your true desire Fold it nice and slow, throw it on the fire We're just following ancient history If I strip for you, will you strip for me? We're just following ancient history If I strip for you, will you strip for me? (a-ha-ha) We don't need to see what the butler saw Or a mirrored room with a mirrored floor All those sneaky looks, gazing down on you Are no substitute for our rendezvous We're just following ancient history If I strip for you, will you strip for me? We're just following ancient history If I strip for you, will you strip for me? a-ha-ha It's at times like this, the great heaven knows That we wish we had not so many clothes So let's loosen up with a playful tease Like all lovers did through the centuries If you think it's cheap or a bit risqué Please don't say a word I'll just slip away I am not a man who believes in lies Like an octopus with big x-ray eyes Don't freeze up girl, you're looking quite a sight Be generous, I want it all tonight (ooh ooh) We're just following ancient history If I strip for you, will you strip for me? We're just following ancient history If I strip for you, will you strip for me? Don't freeze up girl, you're looking quite a sight Be generous, I want it all tonight

Huh? Where was the charge going? Into the air... You should have threatened to call the EPA. LoL... I wonder if that would work.

It will stretch the bacon and everybody will get some... No fighting over that last strip. ?

Well, it's not far down to paradise, at least it's not for me And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see. Believe me. It's not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see. Believe me. Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me And soon I will be free...
