What she doesn't realise is the trouble I have keeping the kids in line.

I see by a number of reports that Planet X or as some of us know it , Nibiru is going too demolish earth tomorrow the 23rd or maybe sunday if they use American time . I find this a little disturbing as I have been made an offer I can't refuse on a bridge . Too fiance the purchase of this bridge I first have too meet up with an old friend I never knew I had that tracked me down from Nigeria . I need too help him retrieve the Libyian Gold Bullion Gaddafi hid before his unexpected death and my cut from that will pay for all the bridges I have ever wanted.. My concern is .. will I have enough time too collect this Gold before Nibiru hits earth. ???
ps : I may need some financial assistance too help me on my trip too Africa if anyone is interested in a small cut ???
