  Yes! There are warning signs all over NY and DC. Al-Qaeda wins if I alter my conduct at all.

  How do we set up a "Used New Bike Fund" for Terry?

  by BucketShopBill in

  is there any way we can try to start a crowd-fund to help terry get some wheels quicker than he currently can?

  with craigslist and a couple of bucks from a few members we can help terry get moving.

  does anyone have any ideas how we can do a "theists for terry" bike fund raiser and challenge the atheists to a bucket-head challenge?

  I hate the drawings. Maybe today I could appreciate it as ktisch/avant-garde. I fail to see the art. Yoko' art is a burden to me. The eyes remind me of the dogs playing poker.

  He lectured and lectured Bethelites about sexual improprieties, such as dating, and when cupid caught him--married people could stay at Bellevue rathr than be expelled. I thought it was funny when it happened. The very idea of Bro. Knorr dating a woman is so ridiculous. Jehovah would not countenance marriage, then Jehovah did.

  The grass is always green. I recommend that students appreciate college. All those bright minds don't exist in normal life. The lectures by giants in the field are important. Reference libraries may be hard to find in the future. It is a difficult balance to reach. You need the grades to do further work. I would go back in a NY moment. You are fortunate that things are working out for you so early. Mixers cost plenty once you graduate.

  There was this rather small dept. store that has now closed. The florists were in the lobby. All traffic stopped when women saw the size of a white floral bouquet. We figured it was about $500. and he needed to atone for something bad. Some film producer used to seduce his women with bouquets of white flowers. Girlfriend 1 and Girlfriend 2 both received an immense bouquet of white flowers. It was a sight to see.

  I assume you get in touch with local law enforcement. Does Norway have a federal system?

  I discussed something similar with my sister this week. There can be a big difference between the black letter law and what happens in the marketplace. I call a local practicioner and ask what happens in real life. I suppose we will know soon enough. The copies and paste quotes that go on for paragraphs are suspicious.

  It depends on the formality of the flowers. The experts say to reveal a little bit and wait. I had a roommate who would come back from a first date and talk in our suite for hours. The men must have wanted to bolt. I said "good bye" by the doorman. There are always other dates.

  three months ago i had to stop driving my car.

  it wouldn't pass inspection and it would cost about $3k to get it up to par.. well, it's a 98 honda accord with about 179 thousand miles on it, what did i expect?.

  .. i decided i would switch to riding a bicycle instead.. it has worked out fairly well.. i put about 10 miles a day on it.

  You did nothing wrong. The perp committed the crime. I would be upset--and furious. NY started this plan where with a credit card payment you can borrow a citi bike. You have to check in at the next stop within so many minutes. Funny, I haven't seen them lately.
