One girl, in Houston, Texas, who grew up in Rochester, New York. And had to get distance from her family so she moved to Texas, a place her family would never care to visit. Google me. I once had a scuffle with the Houston Police Dept. but nobody won. I hope to move to Canada, maybe marry a Canadian, who knows? Lord willin' and the creek don't rise.

Many in fact function better than the rest. Many become military and police officers.

Talking about things slipping out of people's holes, and who has AIDs and whatnot, is incredibly disrespectful to a reporter who made sure we were all able to follow the trial closely. He continues to work on weekends so that we can be kept up to date with sentencing. But I guess we are now to believe that Ralph made one error, he quoted SNAP, and now he is called a lazy reporter?
