Email: A locust walks into a bar [EH]
There is a way to get the dating sites to stop sending you stuff but it may take a while to figure them out. They're sneaky that way.
What a great scripture and application [Joel on God restoring the years that the locusts ate]!
You never want to be like those empty-headed bimbos in a bar anyway. That only leads to one thing (and then it runs away first chance it gets).
Words: hie [AHED]
INTRANSITIVE & TRANSITIVE VERB: Inflected forms: hied, hie·ing or hy·ing, hies
To go quickly; hasten.
ETYMOLOGY: Middle English hien, from Old English higian, to strive, exert oneself.
(Hie thee was originally the closest to the modern expressions Get yourself, Haul yourself, or Haul ass.)
