  1. 4 of 4 of our kids were conceived in our Ikea bed. But they stopped making (shipping to Slovakia?) the Timmerman style furniture we like much better than the Billy stuff. It’s considered a bit expensive here in SK.

    Putting together furniture allows DIY type folk to “make” some nice, working furniture.

    It’s too bad so many Dems support such a crook as Clinton, and then are disappointed/ surprised that developing countries are full of crooks. Have you not seen any terrible Hillary photoshops? Do you not feel censored knowing that your colleagues have no trouble making fun of Trump, or Bush, yet Obama and Clinton are virtually off-limits?

    I support Hillary — for Prison.
