Why do some people have to be so insulting? I am proud of my FURCLOFF family tree.
I am sorry I missed out on this interaction but I was at home. No drugs, no cops, no whiners, no name callers, just 2 FAIRCLOTHS. To answer the ?, I believe one guy was 36 and one was 26, O don't care to look it up again. And if my age was being ?, I am over 40 but under 50, a woman never tells their age. Bottom line, we can not fix the world, we can only try to make our little space in it better. So if someone got a few years off for "tattling" and someone else gets a few added for getting caught then so be it. I drove past a "shack" on my way to work, it had 4 cars in front of it with silver & black license plates and some flashing lights. Maybe that was a raid and we can all comment on it later on today when it hits the news. And , oh yeah JAFS thanks for proofreading for me while I was off line. Talk to you all later on.
I'm not sure what your angle is in all of this, but I can tell you're frustrated. Please, sit back, take a deep breath and mellow out. These are just people's opinions. Stop taking things so personally. You sound whiny and bitter
