    Greetings....

    Check out these Credit Cards today.
    My name is Jamie West from Denver. A successful business owner and father. I got one of these already programmed Credit cards that allows me to withdraw a maximum of $7,500 daily for 30 days. I am so happy about these cards because I received mine last week and have already used it to get $45,000. Mr. Frank Carlos of Email: atmgeniuslinks@gmail.com is selling out these cards to support people in any kind of financial problem. I must be sincere to you, when I saw the advert, I believed it to be illegal and a hoax but when I contacted Mr. Frank Carlos, he confirmed to me that although it is illegal, nobody gets caught while using these cards because they have been programmed to disable every communication once inserted into any Automated Teller Machine(ATM). If interested contact him as soon as possible Email: atmgeniuslinks@gmail.com Telegram: @Anonymous_Ccs / WhatsApp: +1-713-389-6778.

This meeting promises many Tricks and Treats.  We are going to play with idioms.  For example, which of the following idioms mean the same thing in ASL and English?  How do you sign them? When it rains, it pours When it rains, it pours That’s the way the cookie crumbles I feel blue Putting on the dog  (How did they ever come up with that one?  ) Likewise, which ASL idoms don’t translate into English?  For instance,  TRAIN GO SORRY.   Do you know the meaning of that one?  Here is your mission- if you choose to accept it, start thinking about all of English and ASL idioms that you know. Bring your list on Wednesday. I warn you that once you start thinking about idioms it’s like eating one potato chip.  You can’t stop.  Idioms really give you a window into the soul of a culture.  As always, our only rule is to try to keep our
