I know that's harsh, but that's how it sure seems to me." -- Karen Finney

You got that right... - Paul, 06-20-2012 14:01 (Views: 36)

Har har. None of it is. For me, music is typically background noise. [nt] - pudds, 06-20-2012 14:03 (Views: 32)

You might pause to think about who 'you' is in each instance. - Phred, 06-19-2012 20:02 (Views: 32)

No sympathy there either - Ordeith, 06-19-2012 20:59 (Views: 41)

So you support the Russian mafia instead. Solid choice. [nt] - Phred, 06-19-2012 22:00 (Views: 24)
