She ordered 150lbs of the stuff from Wal-Mart. Seems if you order enough, dollar-wise, they will ship it direct to you.

Which is why the Pilgrims first went to Holland. While there was nothing gallant about them, they weren't just customers in some family business. I'm not sure what you're referring to there.<br /><br />Those of the crew who survived the trip to America did go back on the Mayflower.

Turns out it was the OSS and the NKVD who killed Patton. But I think it's pretty clear MacArthur was pulling the strings as he feared Truman would give Japan to Patton. With good reason, too, as Truman, like Elizabeth Warren, was an indian princess and hated the MacArthur family who had made careers out of campaigning against the natives. See, it all makes sense!<br /><br />http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/3869117/General-George-S.-Patton-was-assassinated-to-silence-his-criticism-of-allied-war-leaders-claims-new-book.html<br /><br />http://www.rense.com/general88/patton.htmPrairieAdventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466447251827774900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-62686982791774748262017-04-18T15:51:36.742-07:002017-04-18T15:51:36.742-07:00Some of us see it, and care, but not enough.
