I think you should eat more bananas.

I put the kids to bed a little while ago and now I’m watching tv and internetting like it’s 2009

I did have one for breakfast, but that was so long ago. I didn't have a chance to stretch prior, which didn't help.

I hope your kids sleep well and you get help soon. Goodnight.

Looking for corvettes and the site said one had 56k miles, but the Carfax had 128k miles. His excuse was that the odometer had likely rolled over, but this is an 80s car with six digits. What a slime ball!

I'm definitely not a corvette guy and I will look absolutely ridiculous in one, but I appreciate beauty, regardless of the negative stigma around them.

I'd take an El Camino though. I think I'm going to by two cars, because I suspect one will always be breaking down.

My home parking lot is full of those cheap pieces of crap. A bunch of morons trying to stand out by buying the same car everyone else has. Sheeple!
