Weirdly ended up in Reisterstown

Struck out there, but hot a store in Maryland that had one. Perfect hannukah gift

At our NEDC Aldi?

Ugh! Typing with my morning coffee has its challenges

And when she said "young people" she means like me, literally a member of AARP

Sad trombone.

No, what we're not gonna do is wish rape on anyone or suggest that it's ever ok in retribution.

Yes, that of what they are saying

Sigh. Big sigh

It just makes me sick. How can anyone think that protecting kids from sexual abuse is not an unqualified good thing? Truly, how dark is your soul?

Another standard about children they want to block, the requirement to consider this when housing kids.

Little skinny gay seeming kid? This administration is fine not caring if they get seriously assaulted
