  I’ve met a “skellum” have you? Yes sir I’ll be the first to admit I have met one of these.  I tried to do the deed but I couldn’t get it done.  There is another meaning to this word and sometimes we are face to face with this person.  I’m curious on how you deal with this personality.  The meaning of (skel’em) is one deserving to die (my guy) second meaning a rascal; rouge; scamp.  So have you met a rascal or scamp?   What say you? 11/18/2011

The car is not the problem I just saw my wife and she was on a SKATEBOARD!!!  Makes you wonder doesn’t it??? 08/19/2011

So what do you think about this?  I know in the past I have done all of this and I still do some.  I give you respect and I also demand you give me the same.  I am no better than you and you are no better than me.  Don’t you just wonder why some people think they are better than you?  I bet if you looked long enough they have ghosts in their closet just as everyone else has.  OK I’m off my soap box thanks for reading this.  Enjoy the day 08/15/2011
