We should all pay attention to adjectives!

Me - 1%

There is an RV/Travel show this week/weekend at some town in Maryland starting with a T (Timian? Timioniam?) and the park has some kind of booth there you can check out. And we can easily be talked into meeting you any time you go out if we’re free. We’re there so often the Red Roof clerk checks us in for us and we had to show Dick Knoebel our drivers licenses to convince him we weren’t locals. 😛

Ladies - send inappropriate pictures directly to me. The most inappropriate will win the chance to help destroy several marriages and a motel room in Altoona Pennsylvania. Transportation, whipped cream and farm implements will be provided. 😃

If you read your post, you merely asked females to send pictures. You didn’t specify they had to be pictures of women…

😃

OK, [female pic…](http://awholelotofnothing.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Saggy-boobs.jpg)

Home, doing laundry. \*\*FCD \*\*has gone off with his bike. I’ve vacuumed. I tossed a chuck roast into the crock put before we left, and it’s cooking up nicely. I plan to make pulled beef for sammiches.

That pretty much sums things up for now.

Thanks, both **FCM** and **Taters** for your reassuring words. I’d just like to state that Federal Employees are overworked and underpaid, no matter what others think, btw. I sure hope that they can come up with a budget this time!!

\*\*kopek \*\*- the RV show is in Timonium - same place we went to the motorcycle show last weekend. I don’t know if we’ll go there, but I bet we’ll go to a dealer or two. We shall see…

Y’all remember a couple months back when I mentioned that a very prominent local figure in ye olde hometowne had been convicted of 60 counts of possession of child pornography along with a couple counts of tampering with evidence? Well, he was sentenced in ye olde hometowne today to 1000 years in prison! Needless to say ye olde hometowne is all abuzz. WHOA!

“The charge of receiving child pornography carries a mandatory minimum confinement period of five years and a maximum term of 20 years in prison. The charge of possessing child pornography carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. Each charge carries a fine of up to $250,000 and a period of supervised release from five years to life.”

How did he get 1000 years out of that?

My husband keeps making noises about wanting a pick up truck. I told him I was unwilling to take on any debt until I knew that I was not being furloughed AND that I would continue to receive pay. In other words, when Congress does their fookin’ job and passes a budget.

We had a pick up truck, but my husband wanted a BMW, so he traded in the truck and we paid cash on the remainder of the balance for the BMW. At the time, I knew it was a bad idea, but he wouldn’t listen. Now, when we’re finally car payment free, (I made the last payment on my Expedition last June), he wants to take on another payment. I donwanna.

Well, sixty counts of possession could be 600 years; maybe tampering with evidence has a maximum sentence of 200 years, so “a couple counts of tampering with evidence” would make up the other 400.

We’re talking about Georgia, remember…

\*\*Taters \*\*- just slap him around a bit. Not that it will necessarily make any difference - witness the Harley sitting in my garage… :rolleyes:

Speaking of the Harley - it’s been inspected and it’s now got a windshield. \*\*FCD \*\*said as he was driving to the dealer, the wind kept forcing his helmet up - not good for a man who’s had 3 neck surgeries. I know he wanted one, but he did admit he shouldn’t be allowed in a Harley store without adult supervision. 😛

The chuck roast in the crock pot smells yum! I think I’ll go add an onion or two.

**flytrap and ethi** the skeevy perv was found guilty of 60 counts of sexual exploitation of children (possession of child porn), three counts of invasion of privacy and one count of tampering with evidence. The max sentence for each count of sexual exploitation of children is 20 years per count. The judge gave him the max for 50 counts to be served consecutively which adds up to 1000 years. He got a concurrent sentence of five years each for the last ten counts. Also he got 5 year concurrent sentences for each count of invasion of privacy and twelve months concurrent sentence for the count of tampering with evidence. I need a shower after typing all this. :eek: IOW his sorry carcass will rot in prison. GOOD!

Oh and it’s all rainy and ick out.

I can see a very stiff sentence for someone who took the pictures or messed with children to photgraph them, but that seems a bit harsh for having dirty pictures.
