  2. Well, that business always had its ups and downs, you know. Glad they were tenacious enough to give it a whirl. Fair enough!

  8. At first glance I thought the bright stripes at the top and bottom were bangles on somebody's wrist.
    p.s. Thanks for putting me on post of the day

  20. I am scared of those rides. They are put together too quickly. I would be afraid something would come loose and I would go flying through the air. Isn't it strange how with age comes a lot of common sense? When I was a child, that would be the last thing on my mind.
