Catholic Predator Priests have irked my conscience since the 1980s. At the time, I considered those revelations "the last nails in the coffin" with respect to my Catholic upbringing.

The young are still the only group it's ok to strike in most cultures, with an adult that would be assault.

Posted by Reason-AbleI’m 54 and bored. I needed a project and decided to buy a truck and make it my project. I’ve been adding little mods to it every weekend. Any other vehicle enthusiasts in the group?

Posted by flower_nutMy mother's best friend worked for the local newspaper and decided to dress me as a leprechaun and use it for Saint Patrick's Day. I was a smiling leprechaun, whatever that was?
