Nov 2013

My husband's reaction and mine were the same yesterday: "It's About Fucking TIME!!!!"

GEEEZ how much time has been wasted noodling around with the assholes on the other side, believing them when they lie that they'll cooperate and then being just like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football that Lucy PROMISED so faithfully that she'd hold for him this time for sure, before yanking it out at the last minute. And gullible Charlie Brown Reid falls for it every time.

So all I can say is - "well whaddya know - he finally decided to stop falling for it."
