Or put another way, your folks would have Made You have a lemonade stand to earn money for the family. That is What the immigrants are doing. And you may retort that your dad would not have done that? Well, we are writing about immigrants, Sonhouse. Non-citizen immigrants. Not you. This is the USA, not Yemen. Parents take care of their young here, like your folks did.
...[text shortened]... are in Europe and the East. Pick pocketing 8-yr olds, even in Spain. Out of my wife’s pocket book..

Obviously "family" means something to you that is different to how the rest of us see it. If all Americans are as greedy and self-obsessed and hateful as you are then your country deserves the world's disgust. But I'm sure they're not, they can't be.

You all have a point, a bit of an overreaction on my part, mea culpa. But our paper routes and lemonade stands were not to support our parents, who sent us out into the world to make money. I encouraged my kids to earn money, that was the vehicle. I did not wait for them to bring me their earned money. I should at least get a Bminus for bringing this immigrant practice to the fore!!!!

Didn't you teach your kids to share what they had with those less fortunate? No, I guess you didn't.

I worked in the family business as a kid. Never occurred to me that I should have demanded to keep all the money I was paid by the customers.

your handlers are playing the boo game with you…have you hook line and sinker dont they? 😂

Don't fret about it, little one. This topic is meant for grownups. Stick to playing with your toy tractors.

I didn't really expect to find anyone, it's a rare obsession I've found. 🫠

I had Raymond Weil Parsifal watch a few years ago.

Not the watch.

Absolutely. Just the music, the story's the usual stuff.

14,000 of 36,000 students at COLUMBIA are On Foreign Visas. And know that this is not about the Jews. The Jews are but a vehicle for bigger fish to fry. Soros is not about the Jews.
Would you rather have Trump handle our futures, or Biden handle our futures.
36k. Of which 14k are smelly foreigners. I think I will go take a bath. I do not understand. (Just giving Suepersonguy an opening to say ‘right, you don’t understand.)
Does anyone understand?

Baths went out with the Ark. As did your weird attitudes.

Any other addicts out there?

All this talk of slimy things is giving me cravings for fresh vegetables.

A truly foul creature. Although some on here thought he wasn't badger. 😆 😆 😆

I didn't think he was badger, but if anything he was worse. Glad he's gone.

I do get very tired of people who behave badly enough to get evicted, then come back again and again under different names. I prefer people with familiar faces (even battered or disguised ones) to masked ones. And before anyone decides to accuse me of racism or religionism, I'm thinking of full-face bike helmets and ski-masks.

248 is another pattern: 2^1, 2^2, 2^3.
I'll have to give someone else the next post!

And another pattern for me, 2 4 6!
