I have been in SC a week and EVERY DAY there are at least 2-3 major injuries/ traffic delay accidents on the expressways.The amount of sirens daily is unbelievable.
When I think the 390/590/490 is bad, I come here & it seems like a side street. Because there are no side streets in SC only xways

I know someone whose bill went up 1k. They're on the budget plan. I wonder if these folks are on budget plans.

I'm not on RGE but we had a $450 gas bill b/c it was frickin cold & we live in a 125 year old house. Electric stayed the same.

As I read she didn't get her period til 22,I thought: eating disorder.That isn't covered in the Catholic catechism but to have anorexia pre-pubescent could be a sign of something else: abuse, psychiatric disorder..if she's basing public policy on Catholic dogma she shouldn't even be nominated.
