She's been telling her for years to lighten her load because when her husband is gone she'll be doing it alone. Her husband is still here but his health won't let him help.

In the 1960s life expectancy was about 72. All of those people were cheated out of life.

Good evening Illinois, Ken, Pat, Sean, Shaun, and those that thought about dropping in!

The weather guy told us last night to prepare for an overnight thunderstorm, nothing. Wish I didn't have to pay the rain tax when it doesn't rain.
