Junie P. Checks In

My 80 year old mother sent me this touching story.

"My grandmother died in the 50s, but her birthday is coming up, and that always causes me to reminisce.

The long walks we used to take to the store in town, the quarters she gave me for meaningless jobs like pulling weeds or washing the sidewalk...

Those gems were all good, but the one I remember most, the jewel in the crown of grandmotherly advice, occurred when I was only about 13. We were sitting in a park having just finished collecting some 40 soda bottles for the deposit money on a beautiful spring day.

She told me that one day, I would find a wonderful woman and start my own family. 'And always remember,' she said. 'Be sure you marry a woman with small hands.'

'How come, Grandma?' I asked her.

She answered in her soft Newfoundland voice.

'Makes your dick look bigger."

Lindsay Lohan “In the event that I were the alcoholic anyone says I am, then putting a [scram[]|] bracelet on might have ended me up in detox, with the er, because I would have had to come down from all the things that people say I sure am taking along with my dad tells people I’m taking – so that says something, as I seemed to be fine.”

Superb! Ahmadinejad did us a favor! While we frantically delude our-self into imagining this guy (and the ones who applaud him) are fit to be viewed as reasonable human beings, he spits in your face to help remind us that we all are (repeatedly) fooling our own selves.

Stupid will be as stupid does...this event is really a joke. Lindsay Lohan goes to do detrimental drugs mainly because your girl won't "get it"...The entire legal system is a joke. Why don't you put her in some prison in Cincinnati or someplace else in Ohio where there isn't overcrowding and there is no ignorant system that continually helps individuals get away with ****. At the least if the lady will go on to do narcotics she ought to be "wise" about it and not just get caught...otherwise, go on with what you're doing Lindsay and we should drop you in Afghanistan with really courageous soldiers who're losing their life day-after-day to provide your silly so-called "freedom".

Lindsay Lohan “In the event I were the alcoholic every person says I'm, then having a [scram[]|] bracelet on would've ended me up in detoxing, inside the emergency room, because I would had to come down from all the things that others say I’m taking as well as my dad alleges I’m taking – so that says something, given that I'd been fine.”

Ideal that Lindsay Lohan is getting real with regards to herself, she ought to have rehab like Mel Gibson does need a mental health specialist, maybe this woman may not get released from treatment early on this time around as becoming let go early from UCLA was in all probability the main factor why the girl relapsed so swiftly in the first place, i'm praying for you personally all the way Lindsay, honestly hope you are able to defeat your problems.

Lindsay Lohan is eligable on a sentence of one year and this would mean that her doing about 50 days. This lady has earned the longer time in prison and we can all dream we have a judge who see's this.

Lindsay Lohan Will Go to Rehab Today, She actually is only doing this like a stunt to attempt to cut down her sentencing in October otherwise totally stay clear of any jail time. She is so clear and predictable.

Sometimes people are layered like that. There's something totally different underneath than what's on the surface. But sometimes, there's a third, even deeper level, and that one is the same as the top surface one. Like with pie.
