2 IED Stories & Carter Gets Blown Up

May 9, 2006 Herb 2

Givethanksing Day

November 20, 2005 Herb 0

The problem with pet peeves is that they are so hard to take care of. You think they’re under control and not going to cause any more trouble; you’ve stroked them and talked soothingly to them and explained things to them, but Continue Reading[...]
