If these people could be as industrious with a legitimate business as they are with their scamming, they'd be very well off.

I thought my dad was old at 48 when I was born.

I honestly can't say I'll miss him but that's because I haven't watched TV in 20 odd years.

Spending the time in school learning good grammar finally paid off.
