brothertuck I agree that we need to get the people off who don't deserve it, but that starts at the Social Services center. I don't think her job entails that, hers is more to make sure those that do deserve it are getting the help and benefits they deserve and need.

brothertuck I was in Junior High when the break-in happened, and a lot of young liberal teachers who wanted us to learn the current events. I know what you went through wishing they would just let us alone.

brothertuck We've been lucky here so far, hasn't hit the 90s yet and actually been in the lower 80s. Later in the summer I am sure it will hit the 90s, and even break 100. On those days I'll either stay in the air condition with a nice cold jug of iced tea, or make a trip...

brothertuck Packaged bread is never as good as fresh-made, I'm glad that most of the groceries near me have bake shops in them, although at the same time, I am trying to cut down on carbs and can usually just stand there and smell the fresh baked goodness.
