I was at Lowes, picking up some supplies in the paint department.

well, it must be getting time for the college students to start moving in for the school year. There were 3 verrry bleached blonds getting paint supplies…typical bleached brained babes. One of them looked at her sheet of paper and said, “it says we need a plastic drop cloth.”

so they looked at the plastic drop cloths…they come in different thicknesses, 1 mil, 2 mil, 4 mil, etc…

So, one of them says, “Gosh, the smallest size they have is 1 MILE! I don’t think we need one that long!

this really truly happened.

1) I’ve been going to skateparks for most of my life. Gangs don’t hang out there. Please take an actual visit to a skatepark…photograph the gang activity and email it here, for me to see with my own eyes.

2) buildings CAN attract a BAD ELEMENT. you certainly don’t want to build any government buildings. although I am certain my Googling of members of the Auburn Government will turn up nothing but stories of angelic actions and stuff.<G>
here’s my example of buildings and bad people;

Well lets talk about “attracting the wrong crowd…”
> Let’s not build any more government buildings!
> There are 535 members of the United States Congress.
> 36 Have been accused of spousal abuse
> 7  Have been arrested for fraud
> 19 Have been accused of writing bad checks
> 117 Have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least
> 2 businesses
> 3 Have done time for assault
> 71,Repeat 71 Cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
> 14 Have been arrested on drug-related charges
> 8 Have been arrested for shoplifting
