I never did get to Walmart to get a grill. So, probably no hot breakfast until power comes back on if it goes out. I plan to fill the tub with water. Of course, it is on the second floor. 😦 Don’t know what kind of problem that might cause if things get really hinky. I have canned goods that can be eaten without heating.

She wriggles down the street leaving a designer-crafted slime trail in her wake, waving her $4-million engagement ring around as if to let the scum who worships her that the ring on her finger’s worth more than they and their combined families will ever be worth.
Then, when her ring and the ~6 milion in miscellaneous knock-around jewelery she carries with gets syolen we’re supposed to shed tears. Anyone taking up a collection?
If there ever were a natural born fadt food clerk that fell into wealth, she’s it. Even her private clothing designer blasted her ostentatious ‘in yo face’ display of wealth. I have no sympathy for her, karma’s real and is a bitch. Perhaps developing some humility and basic human respect might go a long way for her.
BTW, wonder if in an attempt to attract younger voters Hellary might have stumbled at the 911 event as she injured herself trying to walk like Kim? They both slither, Hellary just has to learn to adjust her gait.

I really question ‘roughed up’, the team was pro and in the ibterview post-robbery her makeup was perfect. I’m betting she has a different definition of ‘roughed up’ than we do. I suggest she wants to find out what roughed up is, she go be wavin’ dat bling ’round da Chesterfield Square area in LA da way she be doin it in Paris,

I agree 100% — anything to (1) stay in the news and (2) have other people give her money.
