He can live with the American products...He hasn't starved or went without it here, even if it's brands he doesn't perfer. I'm surprised they didn't try to smuggle a Tim Horton's down with them too, considering when he talks to them on the phone he whines about there not being one down here as well. ROTFLMAOL!!!
Hubby's spoiled it seems.  |

Boy, why do I always hear great things about Tim Horton's? I just want some Dunkin Donuts.
Gotta run. See you later, sweetheart. I'll only be in for 1/2 day, as I have a funeral to do tomorrow. I am serving.
Later, Gator.  |

Level up: 39%, 84 Points needed | | I read the first page of this and skip the rest, but in that one page i see that the only stink is getting past the airport gate, but did it dawn on any of you that Poor Americans was having to live off of 3 to 5 dollars a day!!! and that not counting the illegal,I don't know maybe food is so vast in your homes that y'all never have to worry about your next meal, I have been in that spot, and there have been times when i had to pick between buying shoe for my sons or buying dinner for that night, I am just one out of many, it's just a point i wanted to make ( a true point), I hope you think about this why y'all are giving this country away.

But Americans are eager and happy to give away their freedoms...
The way Americans act today, We ought to write "Terrorists Won" in place of our 50 stars...
I never thought I'd see the day we'd be such cowards... |

The third line of your post could very well be true. If I could get on a Greyhound bus that could travel the same speed as any jetplane, I'd leave the driving to them.  |
