Choosing which wedding shoes to wear- open toe wedding shoes or closed toe wedding shoes - may be just as intense as getting the best bridal gown design. This may leave a bride helpless. A mix of excitement and nervousness is enough to agitate the bride. Thus, the confusing choice of the type of shoe to wear is more than enough to keep her crammed up. And it disturbs her more that even her planners cannot give a specific impression on this subject.

It is but normal that someone else cannot speak

Winter in Amerikkka

 

Winter in Amerikkka

 

Winter’s child has fallen

gone with the wind

but not forgotten

for who can forget

the torture of its cold grip

bold words of hate

issuing forth from thin lips

and the blood

drawn from black backs

cracked by fat whips

who can forget

those damned ships

 

Crossing the very waters

from whom

winter’s child was born

unto whom

it must return

when the sun comes back at dawn

for winter’s child is falling

and London's bridge is not far behind

as the royal family loses its royal mind

they seek to turn back

 Today is the 69th birthday of water fluoridation – the top public health blunder of all time, reports the New York State Coalition Opposed to Fluoridation, Inc. (NYSCOF)
