  currently from houston, tx, but spent most of my life in chicago.

  i've never had an opportunity to just get this out... so i apologize for the long-windedness in advance... .

  i spent the first 17 years of my life in a jw home, then the real world caught up to me.

  buns in packages of eight.
  9. Only in Canada.....do we use the word 'politics' to describe the
