I don’t need any help to know that it’s the underlined words in the paragraph below that describe your time on McHenry.

So of course should anyone still mistakenly living with all these impoverished churls and liars lurking like zombies within the dreary confines of Falls Church City. That's what I did lo, these many years ago. It quickly became apparent to me that the place was no longer what it had been built up to be, so immediate migration to McLean became called for. That stepping stone was itself soon enough succeeded by permanent relocation here to the glorious Goldilocks zone of the incredible Sweet Spot. Residential bliss for 40+ years now.

It’s just not assessed at what you once claimed and it ain’t so sweet.

Busted, walker boy!

Dope! I properly claimed to live in a $1.8M house. You thought it was the McHenry house. Bigly wrong!

You live in the McHenry house currently. You boasted of it being the “sweet spot” and assessed at $1.8M.

It’s neither. Let’s give you yet another chance to prove your case. Which of the words that you wrote in the following paragraph refer to your time on McHenry.

Or, perhaps you can explain why only your cars or your daughter’s car are the only vehicles ever photographed there if you don’t live there. Where was your “daily driver” 40 minutes ago? If I drive by McHenry in the next half hour, which vehicles will I see?

We knew to jump ship for McLean in the early 1970's and from there to the Sweet Spot not long after.

Well, it’s a chilly 36 degrees out here in the Sweet Spot this morning and we have 10 mph NW winds to deal with as well. Blue skies and bright sunshine though, so the views out our windows across the marvelously maintained lawns and gardens are indeed quite impressive. We like it here better than where we used to live in McLean and before that in Falls Church City. The SEDC townhouse was very nice for 14 years too of course, but we eventually lost half the partners there.

Well, we were already long gone from the pits of FCC of course, but once we had the money, making the move from McLean to the Sweet Spot was just a no-brainer. I could still go desk-to-desk in under an hour, and we had a wonderful home and all this beautiful land to play with. It was already the big house on the hill in the mid 70s, and we’ve only made more of it since, both inside and out. This is why the assessment is what it is. Should be getting a new one of those in a few weeks.

How the McHenry loser keeps losing.

If you failed to find a GAR last night, you're probably hungry today.

I'm not.

I ate so much I shit my bed the same way daddy used to do before the adult diapers.

Like daddy, like daughter.

Dude you were one hot drunk mess. I've never seen you so horny ever! You demanded I ream your rose and you insisted.

Sounds like you gave your pacemaker a run for its money!

Just spoiled brat little children not content with life on the trash heap. That's all they’re ever likely to know though.

You’re bitter because you got caught lying about your assessment.

Perhaps you can explain why only your cars or your daughter’s car are the only vehicles ever photographed there if you don’t live there. Where was your “daily driver” 40 minutes ago? If I drive by McHenry in the next half hour, which vehicles will I see?

Same questions you avoid because you’re a total pussy.

In the post above, why did you claim you lived in the “sweet spot” with your kids in the ‘90s?

Did you get confused again about the decades?

After all, according to your new story, Alex has long been dead by the time you moved to the “sweet spot” location.

See how your stories don’t add up?

Alex died in 2001. We’ve owned property in the Sweet Spot from 1978. It’s not likely to work, but try to de-confuse yourself.

When did Alex live at the “sweet spot” location? According to you, in the 90s. Or is this you fucking up English and math again?

LOL! Crab legs in this case were at ‘The Broad Street’ in Falls Church that first occupied the space at 105 W Broad Street eventually taken over by the 4 P’s. Your utter confusion in the matter has long been documented.

Which, once again, wasn't the question. lol

Yes, it was. Stupid shit.

What the fuck are you babbling on about?

The question is why did you claim you lived with the kids at the “sweet spot” location if you didn’t move there until after Alex was dead and Megan out of the house.

Still just as fucked up as ever. There seems to be nothing you can’t get all jumbled up. Bad brains.

According to your statement above, where were you living in the 90s?

Why didn’t you simply evaluate that statement? By the way, the Sweet Spot is six miles west of McHenry Street.

There’s no relevance in that statement whatsoever. It could be a half mile or 500 miles for your purposes.

My colored staff were given the day off so they can shop all the White Sales stores are running today.

Later, I'll take Megan to the basement where I will lynch her with a strop just for being so willful.

It makes perfect sense given his condescending attitude towards many things.

You mean worthless shit-slingers, I suppose. Stupid slime-ball.

You strop your daughter for being willful?

How old is she?

I give my kids a time-out.

Keep in mind that the jackass has been nothing but a miserable failure from very early on. Aside from the prominence of his ignorance, envy, and butthurt, he’s not known for anything actually noteworthy at all. His is a rube’s resume of malignant and unmitigated failure. All in all, he plainly IS nothing and HAS nothing. So he lashes out. It’s really all that he can do.

And what, exactly, is willful?

What kind of strop do you use?

HINT: The other JP is a shit-slinging fraud and impostor. Click on his handle. If you see a mail form, that’s him.

But, you INSIST that's an imposter.

I, for one, believe the so-called imposter is you.

^^^ Jackass impostor.

Greg is defined by and encumbered by his shame, inferiority, and embarrassment. It’s crippled him emotionally. He’s also physically crippled and confined to a walker.

Well, the coloreds returned home from their shopping spree drenched by rain.

Megan, on the other hand, began whining and ran down McHenry to I don't know where. Kids are a pain in the ass.

Does Greg like coloreds?

No.

Looks like it’s still stumping you, walker boy. It’s not difficult to understand, but you keep failing at it. I bet someone with low test scores like Megan could understand it, but it continues to baffle you.

You’re the jackass who keeps posting it. Cluelessly of course in every case.

For what? Asking her if her parents moved? Hardly criminal. Again, demonstrating your complete ignorance.

An email to a family member to let them know that someone is in obvious mental decline isn't a legal problem.

Harassment is widely frowned upon. GAR would be well within their rights in seeking to have acts of potential abuse investigated.

It’s not harassment to send a single email asking if her parents moved. BTW, she says they didn’t and that they still live in the same house she grew up in.

Not at all. Megan indicated you still live on McHenry. Which, of course, we’ve known all along. You don’t have the vocabulary of someone who owns a second home occupied by others.

Hahaha! He works at Artie’s. Remember?

And once more for the ever incredibly stupid, we have owned, maintained, and utilized the house on McHenry Street since 1978. Much like the one at the Sweet Spot that you’ve never managed to find. Stupid douche.

NOBODY believes your bullshit Greg.
