Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds
Went for a walk today. Ambled into my local antiques center in the next suburb, and went for a general wanderoo. I was seeking out something rather specific, and against all odds, I found it...sitting on top of a bookcase. It was dirty, rusty, dusty and $20. It needed a jolly good clean, but...- Shangas

Typewriters

If she asked you if you were a pimp, you should've asked her if she was lookin' for a new one... That wouldn't affect her kids and it would give her somethin' to think about the next time she opens her mouth. -
'Everyone lied to me': Hitler's rant in bunker
As Churchill said: "A miracle of deliverance, achieved by valour. But we should not impart on this event, the attributes of a victory. Wars are not won by evacuations!" Addressing the issue of Jews. The Jews have been scapegoats for CENTURIES. And as much as we'd all probably like to wish... -
