Gee, what a role model to be for Miss USA. Her language from my understanding was like a drunken sailor also. She must not see anything wrong with it. The title years ago was one of an honor. My has that gone by the wayside.

I bought a Rima paper yesterday for my printer. That was easy enough to pronounce.
