What a strange thing to happen, it is almost where her life began, but also where his ended. How bittersweet.

You probably listen to him more than I do. Now make sure you lay off any food that will give you gas. Because if you start passing alot of wind I will have my minions tax your a$$ off. They're already talking about taxing cow farts in Europe. I'm diabolical!!! Hahahahahahaahahhahahahhahahah ahahahahahahahahahahaha. All the way to the bank!

RIP Jim. He was a good man. I used to work at that gas station years ago, and his was always a friendly face when he came in the door.

Lynne, you're in my thoughts today.

A simple story that A-holes have to turn into a bashing of people they hate. Surely a bunch of sick losers.

When Jim saved her life, she was not his fiance. She was married to the man who attacked her.

It was the incident that brought Jim and Lynne together as a couple.

Daily Horoscope for December 3

Capricorn

With dark Pluto under pressure in your sign, this rather grave mood has been colored by the current state of a relationship. It isn't going as well as you would like, probably because you're feeling distanced. It's an inward-looking phase, full of obstructions, but best not to worry about things that might never happen, nor to stew about problems that are little more than ancient history. It's the festive season, so raise the cup of kindness and help those less fortunate than yourself.
