That's a nice *****, but---whatever you do: DON'T **** UP!

Oops, forgot one: "Here lies my wife, so let here lie. Now she's at rest, and so am I."--John Dryden

"Can't a guy get bombed and call his ex-wife at three in the morning without it meaning something?"--My Name is Bruce "Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices."--Voltaire "It is dangerous to be right when the government is...

Good question. What happens if the guy only has one piece of pie because he used to have four pieces, but irresponsibly pigged out on three without thinking about the consequences?

Hmmm, this Wetlands sounds interesting. Very, very interesting. That's going on my reading list. I read One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich years ago: I don't remember much about it, but it is a great book. I'll have to add House of Leaves, World Without End, and Pillars of the Earth to my...

Personally, I think the school was out of line. It would be one thing if she had openly talked or bragged about it to those under her charge or suggested that they do the same when they became old enough, but that doesn't seem to be the case. To me, for her job, all that matters is whether she...

I've got Tocqueville's Democracy in America going now. I haven't got quite through the first part yet, but it's both fascinating and overwhelming. After I get through the First Part, I'm going to take a break and read John Campbell's Who Goes There, which was the basis for John Carpenter's The...

Chef, If a police officer pulled someone over and that person was sweating and the officer used "he was sweating, which meant he was nervous and trying to hide something," as probable cause, that officer would find himself in so much trouble it wouldn't even be funny. Maybe the person's...

Re: It's all over ... A) Considering that I've only recently joined the boards, I think it's kind of difficult to know about the posts you've made in previous years. B) Disagreeing with you isn't acting as though we know everything. It's having an opinion that's not yours. C)...

I'm not addicted. And I'm not in denial, either.

Jeez... People....

Re: It's all over ... Wow, this is pretty much completely unverifiable. Stupid question about this line: "What you don't see is the reality of the situation. The reality that people like you choose to ignore." Given the context of your whole post, that you know more about this...
