    Alright, Hip... I see your avatar and etsy name and I had to chuckle. I like clever names and I think yours is clever.... But without looking, I would think it was reeeeeely clever if your etsy store sold clothes for fat chicks.

    Just sayin'

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    I thought Franklin was a good president, but not as good as some. Seriously, I've heard "Man on the street" segments where people honestly thought Franklin was a president.

    The truck thing means that businesses don't have the funds to get newer or nicer. When a business cannot upgrade, that's a pretty ominous sign.

    Ben Jamin' was a wise ole man and not at all interested in the puppet pulpit.

    Out of all the known historical figures, ole Ben is who I would pick to hang out with and shoot the breeze.

    As for fictional characters, I would pick Noah of the vineyard as the dude didn't follow the crowds.

    and that Moses was a hoot as I see him on a Harley wearing leather with a hot babe sitting behind him.

    hope I didn't offend anyone with my Truth and Realities as I don't do make believe and pretend very well. I do have a great understanding of the concept as I remember the programming of the younger daze. Santa, the easter bunny, the tooth fairy and my all TIME favorite...

    the boogerman that hides under beds and in closets. When younger I would search out the boogerman and aliens that others made claim of as I wanted to see them with my own eyes and then form my own opinion.

    Never did personally see or catch a boogerman or alien.

    might of observed some of their droppin's on my many travels, but not 100% sure on that as poo is poo.

    but I have met quite a few that claim they have and can prove it.

    still waiting on the proof, but I'm not holding my breath,lol...

    p.s. From what I have learned I AM the boogerman of peoples superstition.

    Humm ....ummm.... well. Stop and think it all the way through for a moment. Who are/were the prime beneficiaries of the " Big Bank bailout", Obamacare, and the " HARP / Making Homes Affordable Act" ?

    Hint: It's not the American public.



    And Yes ... you know that the economy is bad when they have to go to such extreme measures to shore up a failing banking/finance/and insurance sector.
