When I was medevac'd to a stateside Army hospital and they asked me what religion to put on my bed card, I said "None."

But like most, I reached a point where I hoped if God decided to "call me to vocation", I wouldn't be home when the phone rang...no answering machines in those days.

(17,867 posts)Did he agree and back out, or did someone screw up?
Cheap Trick was hired under false pretenses. I would like to know the back story on this one.

(1,307 posts)in his video, Tebow said he woke up to find he was a speaker. Sounds like he never agreed in the firs place

(4,940 posts)LOL! Tanana Valley Fair, before she was selected to "join" McCain.
Prior to that, before Guv, the Golden Days Parade, where her nasty frigging son was bullying a group of anti-Palin Alaska Natives in front of the Co-Op on 2nd Avenue...................
BlueMTexpat
(15,376 posts)fortunate you must consider yourself to be! Did you also meet her thug family?
Were you so unfortunate as to live in AK while she was Guv? Yikes!!
raven mad
(4,940 posts)I keep thinking of the Duggars every time.............. And yeah, I was here. Her thug son got in my face when I was cheering for Tony Knowles. I really did think about landing one right between his legs, but heck - we were at a parade, so I restrained myself.

(15,376 posts)person than I. I might not have had the forbearance!
Your current Guv has got to be an improvement. But then, Sarah set a pretty low bar.
