  • What is going on with this thread? one day all of the posts are here, the next all of the posts and posts relating to what had been written by (Gene) TNHR are gone, the next day some of Gene's posts are back and others are not. What's up with that?…
  • I've never watched a Survivor show or any other reality show for that matter. I have a very fulfilling life and choose not to clutter my mind garbage.

  • Ohio will definately be a hot spot. Here in the cleveland area, the democrats have already started crying fowl play. The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections mailed out information on where to go to vote to all of the newly registered voters in th…
