I would watch your History Channel...or any history channel that shows something beyond WWII. Not that WWII isn't fascinating, but a lot of other stuff has gone on since time began.
ReplyDeletePut down the cell phone and look at your kids really is a special thing these days. Sad. Actually, it's pretty exciting when anyone puts down their phone and actually participates in what's going on around them.
Yes, to falling in Love!
ReplyDeleteThe History Channel is a load of well, Patak.
Hillary is a great choice. What a hatched job the Republican know nothings did on her! Women should all be angry as hell over that!
And I won't watch anything with Adam Sandler in it, either!
I want to live on your island!
ReplyDeletelove this hop! joining the first time! I DO NOT watch Adam sandler.
ReplyDeleteHow was Paris? Did you like it? I would love to see Italy ( on bucket list) Agree, everyone should fall in love at least once in there life. Hopefully when they are old enough to know what it really means to really love someone, unconditionally.
