When you look at yourself sometimes you see someone else.

To see what one needs to see, just close your eyes in a room alone. It all becomes clear then.

You cant figure it out and not want to teach others how to do the same thing. It dont work that way.

My wife wrapping gifts(what we could) and she got a Smurf lunch box and I said fifty years from now this will be on pickers, and she said no it wont. I said sure it will just the Bionic Man lunch box and she said no it wont and I said why? She said because its not like that. I said still in the box, thermosa and all yes it will. She said there aint no thermos, what you mean there is no thermos? Who would make a damn lunch box with no thermos? The Chinesse thats who. You just filled a clip sweet heart. Why would you make something that isnt one day gonna be a collectors item? Because you Chinesse and dont give a sht. So on pickers they will dig through this junk to get to the Steve Austin box or the Lance Link box that had a thermos.

All these ignorance comments remind me of Shanie Shields. Complaining about some board appointment last night and she didn't even have the right board.

Gotta love Smallsbury.
