ReplyDeleteI grew up in Cuyahoga County and now live in an adjacent county.
ReplyDeleteShould I give Judge Russo a call to try to find out what he thinks about mandating a simple interview protocol like that which I have proposed for the purpose of preventing the financial exploitation of vulnerable older adults at the time they execute wills, deeds, trusts, POAs and other important legal/financial documents?

ReplyDeleteWatch watch Avengers Infinity War online free on megashare9 now. This movie was litterly the same as the avengers and civil war. Nothing new here except that the hype is getting stronger??? By rules of nature hype must die down over time but marvel fanboys want more bad movies? Disney's board of director's and their shareholders are laughing their ass off. They acquire the rights of a universe with some superheroes en then they release 5 superhero movies a year that are complete and utter trash but its fanbase will love it no matter wat. now a cgi war movie (were we all now how of how it will end, it doesn't becouse Disney will keep spitting out these movies until marvel fanboys stop going to these trash movies.) Is considerd better than movies like Silence of the Lambs, Se7en, forrest gump and Leon??? Well if this is the case than i will leave this site and never come back becouse i use this site to see if a movie is worth seeing. But if a crap movie like this is considerd to be as good as THE GODFATHER!!! then i can no longer trust this site and will de-recommend it to everyone that wants to.
