Not expecting it will last, but I guess it's better than Lemon, which I have long found to be aggravating at best.

but most people don't watch that shit. They'd rather watch Duck Dynasty or Tiny House Nation.

He was the anchor for a major OTA NETWORK. Now he's on a cable news channel owned by that network, with fewer eyes on his show than the shopping channel.

that go back four generations! I'm a member of the "Don't have to buy their own furniture" set!!!

I'd need a half dozen storage lockers--after the purge--before I could move into a tiny house!

Besides, there's too many family up in here--and they wouldn't fit in one of those things!

It would be fun to find a quirky and cheap sliver of land by a nice lake, or something, and toss one of those things up -- do the "worst house in the best neighborhood" type thing, and use it as a vacation retreat. Then send the family up, two by two (or three, if the weather is really, really good--hee hee).

I saw on Texas flip and move one time where they built a tiny house on a trailer, you could tow that thing anywhere. Lights worked and everything, I totally want one, told my husband to get on it, learn how to build that.

I almost chocked when Christie said the reason The Con won't release his older tax returns is because things tend to remain the same year after, so people would be able to make deductions about the one's currently under audit. WELL, YEAH! That's why we've been asking for the older returns. The fact that he admitted the reason on National TV is astounding!

"unfortunate"?

In other words, not proven to be worth a bucket of warm spit.

To pooh-pooh antiwar protestors at that time, in such a superior manner, was very, very galling.

He's been demoted to MSNBC. Yes he annoys me, but I can't get too upset about it. CIA? Lol, don't flatter him.
