Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all have a suit on the don giving them like the million bucks things and the to me good it. Steve listening to the other for st Please, I don't join me. You gotta use that turn you you got to turn to turn them out. Turn, you got to turn them out to turn the water the water go. Come come on your tha uh huh, I sure will a good heart to everybody. You're listening to the voice, come on dig me now wanting only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Um. Five things that I know successful people have to do to be successful. The principles are the same. You can apply it to anything, you know, if you want to be happily married, you know, whatever it is. The principles of success are the same. There are a series of things that you have to do. You cannot skip the steps of success. If you do, you're going to have to go back and step on them anyway. So here's here's here's here's a part man that I want you all to understand about me and and and about how to look at it. You know, you cannot underestimate faith and prayer. You just can't. You cannot underestimate the power of faith and the power of prayer. See for me, this is just for me. Now, this ain't in the scripture nowhere. This is just something I discovered. What prayer did for me was was it tied me to my creator. It gave me a sense and I'm describing it this way, but I'm telling you it's deeper than this. But it gave me a sense that I wasn't alone and an actuality. I wasn't. But prayer helped connect me to the power source that was available to me to get through, get around, or get over whatever it was that was in a way, whether it was just a period I stretched, I had to go through hard work. It had a period I had to go through to learn some less some periods I had to go through from having to pay for some of the mistakes I've made. Whatever the case may be, Prayer gave me a decided advantage, especially oh here we go, Especially over my enemies. Now, the majority of people in my life that were my enemies, I didn't want them to be my enemies, Make no mistake about this. But through the thing called life, some things went down, Some things happened from here and then went over here or that way, and a person became my enemy. The majority of enemies I had came out of nowhere. I have no reason to even see why they are my enemies. But you know, life goes on, man. It happens from time to time. Some people just won't let it go. See some people, in their quest to do something to you or to make you pay, they just won't let it go. What it may cause you some discomfort, and some of them may be lies about you and all of this and all of that, but you that that can't prohibit you from going forward. So what I'm saying is prayer gave me the strength, wisdom, understanding the carriage to either go through it, go around it, or go over it. But it happened. I do not know how I could have made it. Without faith and without prayer, it would have something would have got me. You two would have got me. The bloggers would have got me. My partners that I grew up with, that used to laugh behind my back. They would have got me. My friend that would over my mother's house one time and told her. You know what Steve's problem is he out to telling them jokes. He just lazy, he don't want to work. That would have got me. They didn't know. I ain't really mad at him because they were just All they was doing was basing their conversations and passing judgment based on what they knew, based on what they believed. They didn't believe I was gonna make it. But that's them though. If it was not for the faith, which is the belief in things that you cannot see, I wouldn't have made it because I would have listened to everybody else who didn't see me getting here and went along with it. And then prayer. Oh my goodness, man, how many times has prayer bailed me out? Prayer has bailed me out? Prestiel belling me out. Tell you the truth, man, quiet as its kelp Prayer. That connection to your heavenly Father, that connection to your creator, that connection to that source of power and inspiration, that connection of never feeling that you were alone. You know. I was watching a Bishop Jakes on a TV yesterday and it was a repeat and one of the things he was talking about, well, let me just get to the gist of it. I was going through a portion of my life and I went through it for some years, y'all. I had gotten myself into a jam that lasted for years, I'm telling you, for years, with some serious consequences to follow. For years. And I was so busy looking at who I was at. I was sulking sometimes, Man, I'd get on the radio, Man, I'd be just done. I was sulking. My my spirit had gotten low. I had gotten tired of the fight, and I would I would come on some mornings, man, and I will try try not to let on, but I was hurting. I was because I had been in it for years. Man, I had been in this thing for years. And one thing I was doing. I was so busy looking at where I was at. And when I was watching Bishop Jake's he preached this sermon. He was talking about so busy looking at where you at that you don't even realize that God has been with you the entire time. And you know what, man, just yesterday, just yesterday, I heard this and I text him. I text Bishop Jakes, and I thanked him because it was an old message I could tell. And I called a X him up and I said, man, thank you so much. I was just watching you on TV, and you told me man, something that I that I'll always remember that whatever you're going through, that he's there with you the whole time. But see when sometimes when you're so busy looking at where you at, you don't even notice where he is. And see sometimes, man, that that helped me and that's going to help me in the future to realize that what I'm going through, that he's there. He's there with me, and he gonna protect me, and he ain't gonna let my enemies overcome me, and he ain't gonna let nobody overtake me, and he ain't gonna let me go under because he's there. It's just you can't be so busy looking at where you at that you don't take notice or where he at. God is always there, He's always available, and the best way to tap into that and know it is you got to pray. Prayer has changed my life. Prayer can change your life. You can become something if you just pray. You're show, Ladies and gentlemen, it is upon us to Steve Harvey Morning Show us here alive and well and vivid, all living color.

Now she says she wants to make the Olympic team. Oh yeah, she's done. Now that's amazing, all right, Steve, Yeah, we gotta move on, ladies and gentlemen, miss a and trip. Okay, good morning, everybody. This is a trip with the news. I'm want to start with Florida, folks. According to the latest report out of Serfside Florida. The remains of now eleven people have been recovered out of what's left of that twelve story Beach froncondo building that collapsed last Thursday. That leaves over one hundred and fifty residents still missing an unaccounted for one hundred and fifty. That's a staggering number on account of for Miami Dade County Mayor Dan Yello, Levy Cavis says, the search though, goes on day and night. We're going to continue and work ceaselessly to exhaust every passable option in our search. I repeat. The search and rescue operation continues, and now the search and rescue team in Miami has been joined by teams from other parts of Florida, as well as teams from Mexico, even Israel. The work is painstakingly slow because the big pieces of concrete can be removed by a machine, but everything else has to be removed by hand. And they're using both video cameras and also listening devices to try and find victims because sometimes in these things, sometimes a victim is caught in an air pocket and that person is alive, so they're trying to find anybody, any live victims. The Bide administration defending yesterday's air strikes against Iraq back militia in Iraq and Syria Iranbeck's militia. Rather, it was in Iraq and Syria. The White House press Sergi Jensaki says the action was meant to protect US and allied positions on the ground. The President's view is that it was necessary, appropriate and deliberate action. These strikes are designed to limit the risk of escalation. We will take, and he believes we will should will take necessary and appropriate measures to defend US personnelity partners, and allies in the region. Now, Persaki adds of the administration did notify the appropriate members of Congress before the action was taken. He just didn't go out, they say, like a cowboy. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxsons followed a suit against a company called Blessings in No Time or Bent, accusing it or running a pyramid scheme during the pandemic. The lawsuit accuses Bent of defrauding mostly black Texans out of tens of millions of dollars, collecting some fourteen hundred dollars from each person and promising to bless their family and bring that sum up to eleven grand if they get some other people to sign up. That Folks is a pyramid scheme. Okay when somebody says that run Finally though, today is National Hug and Kiss Day.

All right, So let's talk about a little bit about style, Steve, Um, you know, tell us about your style. Um, I mean, what I like about it is it's youthful. You never you know, you always tell us about your age. You don't hide your age, and a lot of guys your age look their age. But you dress youthful, but you still keep it age appropriate, you know what I mean. So let's talk about swag. Yeah, you do all of that, Yeah, I mean, you know, I mean I've always been a fan of dressing up and I've always been like you know into fashion. But I mean, of course since evolved over the years. You know, I used to be strictly urban and I represented the urban culture for show very well. You know, baggy pants, you know, gators, all of that, and so you know, as I've I've grown older slowly. I mean, I've always just evolved this new I have a stylus or that I hired over a little over a year ago, and he he's more into more like fitting what's really out color combinations. But we had to talk this year. I said I wanted to go back to some of the colors because of my Facebook watch show.

You could be the ones who's whoever? You could be the one whose letter we're reading right now. That's what I'm trying to say. You never buckle love and hold on tight. We got it for you. Here it is, this straw every letter. All right, thank you nephew. Subject me, my husband, the girlfriend, and the kids. Woo all right, let's get into this one. Dear Stephen Shirley, I am forty two. I'm a forty two year old married woman and I've been married for four years. I have two children from my first marriage, and he came with four children from his first marriage. A month ago, we celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary and I found out that he had a girlfriend for as long as I've been married, as long as we've been married. She called him early on the morning of our anniversary, and I answered, since he was putting out the trash. The number was stored as Damien, so I thought it might be one of his co workers. It was a woman on the phone, and she said, good morning, babe, what time will you be here? I responded, and she was startled to hear my voice, but she called me by my name. She said it was her daughter's third birthday, and I asked whose daughter. She poured out her heart to me and said she has two children by my husband, a three year old and a one year old. Her voice sounded from Milliar and I asked her name, and she said, we go to the same hairstylist, but we have never met. I told her to wait till my husband came back in so he could clear things up. I had her own speakerphone, and he was shot to walk in and hear her voice. I asked if he really was the father of her children, and he said, yes, he's done two D an a test to prove it. He sat on the bed next to me and took the phone from me. We cried together, and he asked me to forgive him. Since that day, I've met as other two kids, which gives us a total of eight children. D has planned to move away for a while and asked us to keep the kids. I'm barely dealing with the affair, and now I have to raise his outside children. My husband keeps saying he chose to marry me and not her. What do I do in this situation? Please help? Okay, first of all, you say, no, okay, no, you're not taking care of anyone's kid. Uh. This woman has a lot of nerve. I mean, she has to be slightly out of her mind. I'm thinking because she can keep her own kids. I know she didn't think you would be babysitting the kids when she was sleeping with your husband. You think just because you forgave him doesn't mean you have to stay with him. So what you guys cried together? What else could he do in that moment? Okay? What else could he do? He was busted? Yeah? Cry, that's good. Let's go there, and um, don't you you know, look, don't you go feeling all sorry for your husband and you know, getting soft on him. He cheated on you. He cheated. Uh. Inside, he was probably praying you didn't kill him in his sleep when he when you guys were crying together, and that's why he cried. That's that's why he cried. He was scared. Okay, he made not one, but two kids with this woman. Was he crying then? Maybe in ecstasy? Stop feeling like you have to do something. You've asked us, what do you do? He said? He chose to marry you, Okay, he also chose to cheat and have two kids with this woman who goes to the same stylist as you, so you know she knows all about you, your husband, the girlfriend, and the kids. The girlfriend doesn't need to go anywhere talking about she needs to move away for a little while. No, you make her stay right here and deal with her own kids. You take your kids and leave them. Steve subject me, my husband, the girlfriend and the kids. This letter should read like I said in the promo, me my husband, the girlfriend and the kids. The police, the hospital, child protective services, and the coroner. Oh wow, all this need to be in this letter. Ladies forty two been married four years, got two children from her first marriage. He came with four children from his first marriage. And a month ago they celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary. So that means you all don't have any children together. You got two before and he had four before, and fourth you celebrate your fourth and and you found out that he's got a girlfriend for as long as y'all been married. Now here's what happened. She called him early on the morning of our anniversary. I answered the phone. Why because he was putting out the trash. The number was stored as Damien, so I thought it might be one of his co workers. It turned out as a woman on the phone. She said, good morning, babe, what time would you be here? What? And I responded that she was startled to hear your voice. But she called you by your name and said it was their daughter's third birthday, and I asked, whose daughter? And that's when she poured out a heart. Now let's stop right here. You didn't had this man, didn't had an affair three years ago, which was mean that the baby was they was had, making the baby or nine months ten months before that, and they had this baby on the same day as your anniversary. That's ironic, man. And so now he asked her, good morning, baby, what time will you be coming by here? Now, I don't know how he was gonna played a birthday and the anniversary. God dog, Now she expected him over the Hey, baby, what time would you be here? What he finn to tell his wife on anniversary that he finn to go and he got a baby's birthday. Boy, this is ugly. When he come back, he gets ugly up. Yeah, we'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Subject me, my husband, the girlfriend, and the kids will get back into it right after this. You're listening, all right, let's recap today Strawberry letters Steve the subject to me, my husband, the girlfriend, and the kids. Yeah, this lady's married to this man for four years. Come to find out he didn't had a girlfriend the whole time, and she's pregnant. She has a three year old by him, and on one year old. We don't even got to the one year old. Yah. And she called the man's house while he was out taking the trash out, and the wife picked up the phone because it was listed under Damien. She thought it was one of the co workers and it was a woman on the phone and the baby. She has to the phone and say good morning, babe, what time will you be here? And then the lady answered the phone and says she was starting to hear my voice, but she called me by my name. She said it was a daughter's third birthday. I asked whose daughter. She poured out a heart to me. She has two children by my husband, a three year old and a one year old. I don't know how he was gonna play this birthday in the anniversary. Lord Jesus, I wish you to put that in this letter. Her voice sounded familiar, and I asked her her real name, and she said, we go to the same hairstyles, but we've never met. Now she's fully aware of you, you haven't been aware of her. I told her to wait till my husband came back in so he could clear things up, because undoubtedly this woman is doubting that this woman got the right man. You tell me what y'all got a baby. I had her own speaker phone. He was shocked to walk in and hear her voice, Lady, lady, shocked is an understatement. Shocked ain't what he wore. I'm gonna tell you. Man on the inside of him his head, that was a cherry bomb. Him made it explosion. I mean his whole brain liquefied and was running around his head loose. He was not shocked. This was his brain sounded like when he walked in and herd heard you talking to her. That's how scramble it was. The people was running around in his head having a riot. He didn't know what it was that type of noise, so then pants couldn't have been cleaned up. It happened to him, and then he was shocked to hear her voice. Understatement. I asked if he really was the father of the children. He on speaker phone. He got to say yes, yes, and he's done two DNA taste to prove him. He sat on the bed next to me and took the phone from me. Let me get this health of office first. Baby. He gave him a little bit of relief to have the phone. It's just a little bit. It wasn't much, but it was just And then we cried together, cares I wouldn't have gave a damn about together. But I showed would have been crying though, yeah, what else I would I wouldn't. It wouldn't have mattered to me if you joined in or not. I'm crying. He was, and he asked me to forgive him. Well, now a lot of time has occurred because she went from he asked me to forgive him too. Since that day, I met his other two kids. That's a three year old and a one year old, which gives us a tot of eight kids. Here where the letter gets stupid, D that is the health of name. Girlfriend D has planned to move away for a while, and she asks us to keep your kids? What? Who? WHA? What D going? D? D sounds like she find to go get a fresh start stress D find to get some of this stress off of her. D been tired of living this lie. And now that's why she just poured her heart out because she was tired of holding this and now you're on the phone, let me let this go. And now since how to let it go, let me go get me a fresh start, y'all keep these kids for me because I need to go start over. I need to find me a new life somewhere now helpful. And then she said D has planned to move away for a while and ask us to keep the kids. What you mean a while? The hell is a wild You're gonna see your sister for a week and you coming back? What the hell is a while? I'm barely dealing with the affair, and now I have to raise his outside children. No, you don't. No, And wait a minute, how do D get to get the break? Exactly D did? D did the D? Now she get the breaks? My husband keeps saying he chose to marry me and not her. That ain't no consolation prize. You can't tell him. Yeah, I would rather you married her and asked me to be the sideline chick. Let me make that decision. But no, you married me, got me thinking I got something, not come to find out you got a sideline chick. So you want to know what you should do the kid? First of all, the kids have no blame in this. My question you is are you gonna forgive him? I'm not keeping him. I can't tell you what to do. Do you want to remain in this marriage? And only you can answer that question. I'm not gonna tell you leave him, because it don't sound like you planning on doing that. Now, I've been deep in living this lie and needs a break. And she sounds like she couldn't wait to stop hiding hook kids. And I don't know how long he didn't hear a three year old in the one year old. It's hard to hide two kids. You knew everybody at the salon knows about it. Oh that's what I was gonna say. The half styles got yeah, yeah, yeah. You voice from being under the damn head drive talking Strawberry Letter Steve Harvey FM on Instagram and Facebook. Check out the Strawberry Letter podcast on to Man coming up with forty six minutes after Sports Talk with Junior. Right after this, you're listening Stry Morning Show. All right, guys, Junior is here with Sports Talk. What you got, Junior? What is going on with Scottie Pippen? Oh my god? What Scottie's out here rattlers and feathers people. Now he has a book coming out. Okay, I take that in mind. He has a book coming out called Unguarded. Now, in this book, Scottie Pippen says that Phil Jackson was a racist. Now, I've never heard that about Phil Jackson. You ain't never heard nothing. And this is how he got to the conclusion. It was a game against the Knicks. Well, Scotty Scottie Pippen was on the sideline with Tony Kukoch. They over in the huddle and Phil Jackson dropped the play for Tony Kukoach to hit the game winning shot and not Scottie Pippen. Pippin took itself out the game and then Tony Kukos goes out hit the shot. Now where in there is the racist He picked the white man to shoot. Okay, that I thought this was basketball. That's what I thought this was. He didn't call you no names or nothing. This is about the least racist thing I can see. Yeah, that's how he got to scott Yeah, weigh too much other stuff going on, man, I mean, and this is this is the crazy part. Then he says he was not giving enough credit that Michael Jordan was not the real leader in the locker room. He was and he didn't get any respect from the organization or the press. Now this he got a book coming out, but we're not gonna sell this. Saw the move the documentary, the documentary I saw that damn show looked like the leader in the movie all the way through. So I don't know what he's come on, Scotti. This is not a good look, man, I mean he going out to everybody. Kevin Durant said, Kevin Durant can't win the championship without any help. That this is kind of ironic. Yeah, I don't know what. I don't know what Scotta talking about. I mean, you did have Michael Jordan. I don't know what ever, I got your six ring when Jordan retired from him two years? Where was you at? Yeah, since we talked about leader, Scotty, I mean, you had two years to get one, you didn't. He came back, you got three more. Sound like you need Jordan. That's that's That's just what I think happened. I think Scottie was writing a book. I think Scotty could have made some off color remarks, but I don't really see how he could have thought he could print that in the book interview. I believe, Yeah, he wants to sell a lot of books. He got to be. That's all this could be fault because I don't I don't know why you'd make that comment, man, I mean, like you said, we saw it now, we saw one. Now we saw, we saw when you didn't about Michael Jordan to see what the rest of y'all was in there? All right, thank you Junior. Coming up at the top of the hour. Are your twenties really the best years of your life? Think about that. We'll talk about it right after this. You're listening to the show, Well, some people would love to go back to relive their twenties. You hear people talking about that all the time. Were those years really really the best time of your life? Um? Well, according to a new pole not everyone thinks, so I knew you. GOV survey asked Americans what are the best years of your life? Twenty four percent of people do believe that they're twenties were the best time in their life, but almost an equal amount say their best years were between thirty and thirty nine. So I got to ask you, Stephen, the guys, what years would you say were the best years of your life? And why? And if you could what and if you could relive any age, what would it, what would it be? And why? I go back to sixty four because last year, right, your best year. That's now I'm gonna go right on back sixty four. I'm not going back damn twenties an I had every major failure is that when you were homeless in your twenties and I was just started at thirty dude, married, flunked out of school, lost a bunch of jobs, didn't have my sugar honey iced tea together.

Yeah, yeah, don't miss up on that information for sure. Let's y'all, let's go, y'all, we gotta get vaccinated. Let's do this. I don't, I really don't understand the hesitancy. But at the same time, everybody else to make the decision for themselves. I didn't. I'm not going for the theory portion of it. Let me just tell you this. My in laws, who are in their eighties, both of them that their nurse gave them COVID. The doctor said, thank god you all had the vaccinated. This could have been really bad. They suffered hardly any symptoms at all. Good news. I mean at best. At best, my mother in law had a little cold, but my father in law and they have pre existing conditions, so I thank God for the vaccination because it would have been bad for them. Yeah, that's what the time hall meeting is for. Educate yourself about it. You know that's right. My crazy ass sister won't take not not moan. Yeah, I don't want to take no shot. Okay, stay your ass at the house, Steve. No, no, you got to stay your ass at the house. Now. I want to go out, but I'm scared to go out. So she just at the house. There ain't no problems. You stay at the house. But you know, it's like you know, you do understand. Yeah, it's like a weight come off your shoulder. And once you get vaccinated, like I felt relieved when I leave. Yeah, I'm telling you know. I mean I lost four friends in COVID, so you know, real COVID. Yeah, four and couldn't go to their funerals because it's only ten people allowed. You know, So you know that was a personal reason why I got vaccinated. You know, not a reason why, but that was a big one. Four friends, good friends. No, nobody got see everything now, and then people I just talked to, you know, people just talk to. Yeah, hit home, like a lot of people listening to us right now, lost loved one and friends. I lost a couple, a couple of people I knew, not close friends, but some people I knew. Definitely I lost him. Yeah, I think some really really close calls with some too. So everyone knows someone who's been touched by COVID in some way, for sure, for sure. Yeah. Yeah, coming up, it is our last break of the day, and at forty nine minutes after the hour, we'll have some closing remarks from our fabulous, wonderful leader, our fearless leader, mister Steve Harvey. Right after this you're listening show. All right, here we are, guys, our last break of the day. It's been a pretty good day. Uh yeah, I think so. Yeah. Yes, and short week, well not short week, but the holiday, the holiday, thank you. We're in vacation mode. I think, get out of here so I can get out to this golf tournament today and tomorrow. You know, you know, I wanted to talk about something because I was Sunday, my closing remarks of Sunday. I watched two sermons on computer Sunday. That's I do that often, don't, not just Sundays. But you know, whenever I'm doing my meditation, sometimes I decide. I was watching a sermon by Joel Oldstein and I was I was thinking about some things after he got through, and I thought about something that I've changed in my thought process that has helped me a great deal. I'm gonna try to share it with you. It may not be crystal clear to some people. Some people may get it because they may not understand where I'm coming from. But you know, I don't worry like I used to. And I know I'm not talking about that saying where if you're gonna pray about it, don't worry about it, and if you're gonna weary about it, don't pray about it. I'm not talking about that because I've been saying that for years and been wearying anyway. I'm talking about really, what I've really grown to understand about wary and my future. And I know it's only human nature to be concerned about your future, try to figure out your next move and what you're gonna do. Now, that's human nature, and I've been extremely guilty of that. I mean, i spend a great deal of time thinking about my future. My next move, I would even took it so far, was I would set a goal and then I would go about the goal with the idea of how I thought the goal should be accomplished. Now that's human nature also correct. But as I've grown older, I've found out that, Steve, you have to not only have your goals and the things you want in life, and you have to have a plan, but you have to open up your plan also, mister Harvey, to the will of God. That has been the key for me of late, and I really started gathering this during the pandemic. See, sitting down during the pandemic got me really, really in a better place with my spirituality because it made me understand it a lot better. I mean just a lot better, you know. So I was I was. I was sitting there and I thought about all the times that I worried about different things, you know. But what I had to come to terms with was as I planned my life and I ordered to and I wrote down the steps I thought it should go, the key that I was missing was I failed. I failed to incorporate God's will, and that right there would cause me because God gives us the power of choice, and God allows us, as the creatures that he created, to make decisions, he has to allow me to make those decisions. Just like I could decide to use God's will, I can also decide to do it my way. So in doing it my way, I found that I was working against myself sometime because He had to go ahead and let my will exist because that's the power of my choice, and then I have to work back through it later when I found out God really wanted me to do something else. I don't know if I'm explaining this right, and I knew I was gonna have a struggle with it because I don't have the quite the order of it in my head. But if you could stay with me for just a second, I'm gonna clean it up for you. If what I was working on and what I was planning on was not exactly the will of God, and he would have done it another way. Me going about it doing it my way was getting in the way of his way, and it was delaying the blessing, and it was causing me to take the long way round. Does that make better sense? Yes, sir? Okay? Cool? So what I had to stop doing was. I had to stop making these concrete plans and setting it out there so rigid. This is how I want to go, and then I want this step in that way. So now when I make a plan and I have an idea and I put it on my vision board, I always say, God, give me the understanding to know what your wheel is and your way is, to help me better understand the way you want me to do it, and give it to me in the time and the fashion you got set up for me. And I got out the way. And once I got out the way, y'all, it made the worrying go out the window, because now I don't have to worry about should I call this person and order this? Should I call that person and see if I can get him to see it this way? Nah? Man, I ask God for it. I put it out there. I made a plan, but I opened it up to the will of God. And I gotta tell y'all something, man, It has changed the wary factor because now that I know that God is always working on my behalf and always working on your behalf, just like he always has. I just had to get out the way so I could allow him to do it his way, because it's only gonna happen in a certain amount of in due time. Anyway, It's not gonna always happen when you want it to anyway. Have you heard somebody say, if you want something bad enough, it had happened. Do you know how untrue that is? You know how many things I've really wanted and never got that ain't true. You can want it all you want, but if you could learn to put it into God's will, you would be amazed how you could get it, and you could get it in a way that he wants you to have it, and he fixed it up in a way. What can nobody take it from you? And it causes you not to worry anymore. And that's the thing I've come to. They'll try to better explain it again tomorrow. Maybe, Buddy, I hope you've got something for it. Those are my clothing marks. Have a great day. By for all Steve Harvey contests. No purchase necessary void where prohibited.
