Thinking about that time I pulled a lawmaker aside outside a committee room asking to talk off the record and he responded, "I'm married."

"You're probably wondering how I ended up here -- my butt displayed in the statehouse and broadcasted to the world. It all starts with a Governor, a pandemic, and a vaccine lottery."

"I'm Babydog, and this is my story."

Guys ... I normally don’t ask for anything. But I drive for a trucking company dedicated to a major nationwide grocery distributor. And we’re going to hell and back. And there’s no end in site yet. If y’all could say a couples prayers for safety and strength to keep going

@Honeywell_Home I definitely need help removing the thermostat from the wall and putting it back on.

[Sharon Sykes @stsykes]

What’s up with the blank display screen @Honeywell_Home ? I just got this installed 3 months ago?!?!

[Sharon Sykes @stsykes]

@Honeywell_Home That was the first thing I did; I checked for a tripped circuit. That wasn’t the problem. I guess I’ll call my HVAC tech?

That's about $42 a view.

The chairman of the Repub party notes that an on line Yahoo survey found that 73% of college Republicans nationwide said they were uncomfortable or unwilling to share their political opinions out of fear.
