The recollections of those who were there. Plus, yesterday ImnoMensa (I think)...

I have no idea why you would be so curious. Or think anything about food lion. I am confused. I don't know if youre simply asking questions, or are being a smartass or some such. It is hard to tell around here. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, though. I...

It would be idiotic for someone to jump to a conclusion about someone who did something without...
