Texsox Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 I isolate the vowels first. Most five letter words follow one of two consonant/vowel patterns. c v c v c (polar) Or cc vv c (dream) The curse of being an English teacher.  Both my boys and girls varsity won today.

greg775 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 What the heck is going on folks? People are allowing their neighborhoods in a once great city to be terrorized? https://patch.com/illinois/beverly-mtgreenwood/3-vehicles-carjacked-midpointe-apartments-cops?utm_term=article-slot-1&utm_source=newsletter-daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter To my fellow Chicagoans who love our city ... I was planning on coming back to the south side for a Sox series this summer and or some time in my old neighborhood, Mt. Greenwood, south of Midway. Shoot me straight please. Is there a good chance my car will be jacked if I return? Is there any reason at all to stay at the Hilton on 95th Street? Are we to the point it's too dangerous to visit my city? How are people standing for this b.s. I read the Patch and car jackings in Beverly and Greenwood areas appear COMMON! It's outrageous. Please let me know if this is a problem or not for vacationers.

Texsox Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 Take the NRA sticker and put it on your car. Let's folks know you're armed and won't play the victim. 🖤 You could hire yourself a bodyguard for a couple days. Cheap insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Hilton has dropped off I would not stay there.  You may want to avoid Midpointe apartments as well. I assume you know where those are at and this story should not surprise you.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 It's the city's program to encourage residents to use public transportation. Brilliant. No Texas cities. I wonder if allowing anyone in the state to carry affects that number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
