I saw the Twitter message posted on how the sf team has scored 30ย each game they've played.ย So it will beย a 31ย 30 Billsย SB victoryย with what I imagine will be a last minute fg that dinks in off the right goalposts to purge the wide right loss to the Giants In the first sb that was supposed to be Bills 49ers until they let the giants beat 49ers to wreck the 1st Bills SB.ย ย Edited September 22, 2023 by AuntieEm Quote

I'd have to try to see what impact he made in the Belgium Congo of that era to see if he turned to being an oppressor in the Belgium Congo.ย I've never researchedย it probably because I'm disappointed he didn't come to America then for the just cause of independence thatย they failed to secureย in Poland.ย But if he had come to America thenย it's likely his brother my direct ancestorย would have joined him which would alter my family's history that I'd not be here.ย So can't be too disappointed in his choice.ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Edited September 22, 2023 by AuntieEm 2 2 Quote
