Hi David. The audacity of that man is unbelievable. Have you noticed how the media hasn't had anything negative to say about him? So much for the unbiased truth of the press. have a great week!!
Yeah I saw it before it switched. Thanks! Did you have a good Christmas? Did you come home for it or are you still in IL? If you are home let me know, it would be great to see you!
You are so right David! It's like he has put a spell on the weak-minded. I am as confused as you are about the whole thing. We can only pray that they see the light someday soon... before it's too late! Thank you for your enlightening comment. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts! Melisa.
Happy Birthday to YOU, Happy Birthday to YOU, Happy Birthday dear David, Happy Birthday to yoouuu! (did you hear that in your head?) Cheers and best wishes for all good things in the coming year! Chris
