A lawyer opened the door of his BMW, when suddenly a car came along and hit the door, ripping it off completely. When the police arrived at the scene, the lawyer was complaining bitterly about the damage to his precious BMW. "Officer, look what they've done to my Beemer!" he whined. "You lawyers are so materialistic, you make me sick!" retorted the officer, "You're so worried about your stupid BMW, that you didn't even notice that your left arm was ripped off!" "Oh my god", replied the lawyer, finally noticing the bloody left shoulder where his arm once was, "Where's my Rolex!"

One of my all time favorites..."It's just a flesh wound" And to think that Radner and Belushi saw it when they were just starting out. Time does fly.

http://news.yahoo.com/trump-launching-presidential-exploratory-committee-132942573--politics.html Trump launching presidential exploratory committee WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump announced plans Wednesday to form a presidential exploratory committee. "I am the only one who can make America truly great again," the Republican businessman and reality television star declared in a statement announcing the move. While a step short of a formal campaign launch, the formation of an exploratory allows him to begin raising money and hire staff as he weighs a White House bid. Trump said he's already hired political aides in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, which host the first three contests on the presidential nominating calendar. "I have a great love for our country, but it is a country that is in serious trouble," Trump said in a wide-ranging statement that called for rebuilding the nation's infrastructure, improving border security, strengthening the military and improving the economy. "Americans deserve better than what they get from their politicians who are all talk and no action." The outspoken Republican has long hinted at presidential aspirations, but he appears more serious this time. He recently said he would not renew his contract with NBC for his reality show, "The Apprentice." Trump is scheduled to appear in New Hampshire later in the week.

Embraces LGBT-Inclusive Definition Of Marriage The tide has turned for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender couples seeking to be married in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A). Following years of debate and introspection, America’s largest Presbyterian denomination has announced a change to its constitution that allows for a more inclusive definition of marriage. Officially called Amendment 14-F, the new wording in the denomination’s Book of Order will describe marriage as being “between two people.” About 71 percent of PC (USA) leaders approved of the change during a general assembly meeting last June. The church had been waiting for a majority of its 172 Presbyteries, or regional bodies, to approve the measure one by one. On Tuesday, this majority was reached, with 86 Presbyteries handing in decisions to support same-sex marriage within the church. “Today we are rejoicing!" said the Rev. Robin White, co-moderator of the LGBT advocacy group More Light Presbyterians. "So many families headed by LGBTQ couples have been waiting for decades to enter this space created for their families within their church communities.” More Presbyteries will continue to hand in their decisions until June, when the amendment is scheduled to go into effect. But not everyone agrees with the change. As of Tuesday, 41 Presbyteries have voted against Amendment 14-F. Although the updated Book of Order will describe marriage as "a unique commitment between two people," church leaders added a caveat explaining that it “traditionally” occurs “between a man and a woman.” The careful wording reflects a continuing tension between conservative and liberal factions within the 1.76 million-member church. After last year’s assembly, PC(USA) ministers have been allowed to officiate at same-sex weddings in places where it is legal for LGBT people to tie the knot. Amendment 14-F won't make it mandatory for clergy to perform same-sex marriages, and clergy members who object to its wording will be allowed to refuse to officiate those ceremonies. Hundreds of parishes have left the denomination in recent years, partly because of its more inclusive attitude toward LGBT members. The PC(USA) counted 10,959 member churches in 2005. That number dropped to 10,038 in 2013, according to church statistics provided to The Huffington Post. The decrease includes both churches that dissolved completely and churches that were dismissed to other denominations, including the more conservative Presbyterian Church in America and the Evangelical Covenant Order of Presbyterians -- neither of which ordains gay clergy or condones same-sex marriages. The Covenant Network of Presbyterians, a group that has been advocating for LGBT members since 1997, has been tallying the results as they have come in throughout the year. Executive Director Rev. Brian Ellison said that his group still has much more work to do. “It’s an important moment for the church in that there really continues to be serious disagreement about this,” Ellison told HuffPost. “This moment is a real opportunity for us to struggle, to work through differences, but still be committed to each other.”

You sure did miss something. Mr. Zone was mean to me, and during 'Happy Hour' no less. Thank God Foster and I were drinking and we didn't notice.

A desperate push to win re-election, since his little stunt in Congress didn't seem to work. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/on-final-day-of-campaign-netanyahu-says-no-palestinian-state-if-he-wins/2015/03/16/4f4468e8-cbdc-11e4-8730-4f473416e759_story.html He has somehow managed to become less popular than the radical groups he is fighting against. Everyday, more and more people are blaming Israel for the state of the Palestinian situation. Now!! is the time in history.

I saw one report that mentioned there is a 4 year waiting list for a new G650. lol and I'm sure advanced payment would be SOP. He has since pulled his plea for money from his website, but damage done.

I rather suspect, that the environmentalists usually find something wrong with every picture, but that's not what I got from the article.

Grandma, please stop posting, I'm running out of "Likes"

Just so that there's no confusion by anyone on the board, I'm the cute on on the right. MsAnn would NEVER be caught dead in that ensemble on the left.

Well done Axiom. It sounds like this trip you kinda just got your feet wet and tested the lay of the land. I'm hoping that things get easier for travel in the next few years. All in all, it sounds like a good time was had by all.

"what'd he say?" "He said he doesn't like you" "Oh, I'll make the boy some tea and brownies, he'll feel better"

Happy St. Patrick's Day Bitches

Actually I did also, at least that's what the boys used to say to me all the time.

Well looking at the pictures, I realize my money would have been better spent on a set of dentures, instead of the Botox.

MsAnn licks this fo sho

Not much to add except that Tomcal was spot on. Sauna boys, dancers, escorts, masseurs etc etc etc. They are almost all cut from the same fabric. It is all a game to them, and you can enjoy yourself immensely while playing, so long as you know all the rules. From Mvan1's post: "The Garoto plays a clever and profitable game, which he wins, most of the time" Best to just chalk this up to a learning experience, fix yourself a nice cocktail, put your game face on, and jump right back in, the waters fine.

Very sad news indeed. He had mentioned his illness, but it sounded like he was on the mend. He brought much laughter to Daddy's via 'Friday Funnies'. As I recall he always honored the men and women of the armed services. A noble gesture. May he find peace in a better place.
