    Dick Clerk `s Health is failing

    Dick, I hope you're feeling better. I have loved ones with diabetes and I know it's no picnic. If you gotta cry, that's okay, we all have big shoulders. Remember, you're in our prayers and may God grant you a speedy recovery.

    Car Hits House.

    Sadly, if the insurance company pays for 'ol blue, 'ol blue becomes their property and they would just toss 'ol blue into the trash. :sad: The only suggestion I would have here is to offer to purchase 'ol blue from them at scrap value. If worse comes to worse, ('ol blue can't be repaired to...

The handle was hollowed out and slid over a lever which was used to increase the water flow to the...

    Its always the few that cause the ?

    That's really pathetic. Sadly, there are people who think it's a very funny joke to do garbage like that. Would be nice if people would grow up and have some respect and common courtesy. It appears that manners have gone by the way side in the Internet.
