I just looked at some wallets I bought last year from a thrift store and it's a brand new coach. I probably paid no more than $1 or less for it. I was surprised. I am wearing a London fog lady trench coat that I paid $12 for.<br /><br />Angelicastarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09910309522871851699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-72999123371927780732020-12-17T19:52:31.759+00:002020-12-17T19:52:31.759+00:00I love that sweater!

You do have others here and in D.C is still trying to carry the mess on. We had an ex Houston police officer was paid to be a spy for voter fraud for another man made cult group. He was watching an air conditioner repair man, rammed his truck, pulled his weapon on this poor man and all he had in his van was tools he work with. Now the ex-officer have an assault with a deadly weapon case and had to be bonded out of jail. He was fired from Houston police department in 2002 for falsely arresting groups of teenagers. I see why. (laughing hard) But I think we are going to be okay in 2021.Angelicastarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09910309522871851699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-35515911646545886372020-12-17T17:49:29.871+00:002020-12-17T17:49:29.871+00:00Like many so called Americanisms, I think that got...Like many so called Americanisms, I think that gotten may have come from 1600s English gzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034777779347889773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-16455220634048524152020-12-17T17:10:01.891+00:002020-12-17T17:10:01.891+00:00Got is the simple past and gotten is the past part...Got is the simple past and gotten is the past participle.
