Bernie Sanders refuses to pay his workers at least 15 dollars an hour! (They are averaging 13 dollars an hour since they are salaried and not paid for over-time. Part of HIS agenda is to increase the Federal minimum wage in the USA to that amount.)The man is a peach! The workers demand a liveable wage. Bye! Bye! Bernie! Socialism is a bitch when you yourself have to pay for it.

Will the ceremony be in a glade?

I have now sent you my team. Thanks for doing this!

Might want to wait for the next round in case a QO comes in for the pending hit.... Welcome to the game.

End of all heartaches for Billie Holiday on this day 60 years ago, aged 44.

Crosby is quite engaging on Twitter and regularly responds to queries, so it might be worth asking him straight out if he considers himself 2020 deadpool fodder. Someone else will have to do it though, because I'm not brave enough.

New documentary on David Crosby's life, here's an article with lots of health statements: https://www.wsj.com/articles/david-crosby-is-making-songs-as-he-faces-the-end-11562385662 "Because I'm going to die" “I have eight stents in my heart, and I’m going to have a heart attack in the next year or two, and that’ll be it,” he says. “I’m trying to get the music out of my head first.” "Early in the new documentary movie “David Crosby: Remember My Name,” the musician says flatly that he is afraid of dying after battling hepatitis C, receiving a liver transplant and now struggling with diabetes, on top of his cardiac issues."

I'm so happy that I cant stop dying!

Oy, can we get someone to please police this thread?

De Do Do Do, De Da Da Dead

Like every summer, I'm going to Poland with my family. This time for about 2 and 1/2 weeks. Right in time for my 18th birthday too, me and my friend over there got big plans. My flight leaves tomorrow - Saturday - from Chicago O'Hare at 17:25 to Warsaw (LO 2), and I have an hour layover there before I land in Rzeszów (LO 3809) at 11:30 local time Sunday. That info of course being for Cat in case he wants to track. I get back on August 1st. Don't think I'll be visiting the forums during my vacation. ABC title defense team already submitted. So this is goodbye for now.
