Free waterlike stolen watermelon is always better.
Don’t use soft drinks,Don’t care about the calories in Coke.
I live in a distressed home.Lighten up.
Corporate fraud is leveling off.That means the nadir has been achieved.
The term I used to use,corporate greed,which I realize now is corporate norm,is alive and kicking.Vick signs with Nike.A shining example to set before the youth of America.

The Home Depot just leased their landmark Lindburgh store to The Dump. They seem to be bragging about it and what a great contribution it is to Atlanta and the area.
WTF? Well, it does seem to be an appropriate name for the area and HD’s latest contribution to Atlanta. I think I will go there today to take my own Dump.
