I love autumn, so I'm impatiently waiting.

A 91-year-old man was being robbed at a CVS (or similar store). The old guy was carrying, so he shot the robber. LMAO Shot him in the neck. Didn't kill him. I love stories like that.
I am having the same kind of weather. Still hot but cooler. I cannot wait for fall. I was out weed whacking the driveway last night and one apple tree is almost empty. I missed that one this year. All of the apples were in the ditch line.

I love the fall

Ha, ha…great story.

I like to say that I'm socially liberal and fiscally conservative. I think that really spells it out in a lot of ways. Do what ya like in the bedroom but leave my wallet alone.
I think we are all mixed. I live in the Bible Belt and as much as I really like a lot of the people here I won't touch politics with a 10 foot pole, lol. I am definitely more open minded. One of my friends last week was talking about the new restaurant that opened here. She was commenting on the new waitress with piercings and colored(blue or pink) colored hair. I just say people are people on the inside and it doesn't matter. She admitted that she was old fashioned.

Maybe not but flip the coin. There used to be a really good TV show on TV called 30 days. It would take 2 opposing viewed people and make them swap places/lives for 30 days to give them a better understanding of each other. It will definitely teach some empathy. You can find it on DVD.

The worst mistake a person can do when they get home is sit down.

So true, gym right after work, or before... stopping at home sabotages it way too much.

Not just working out for me, it's almost everything. I get up in the morning thinking "I am going to do so much after work today!" but if I go home and sit down it's all over. Or going out. If I go right after work, fine, if I go home first, I'm sending the lame text with the lamer excuse.
