"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad." "How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.” “Have I gone mad? I'm afraid so. You're entirely Bonk...

BTW, I would be MORE than a little offended should someone decide to compare me to a beverage, with the possible exception of top tier champagne. *Possibly*
I have a reply prepared if confronted directly by a woman/beverage comparison; however, it is far too obscene to include here.

The REAL problem is, (in the U.S.. at least) is that many assistance programs need fundamental overhaul. For example, one of my grandfathers was a multi-millionaire. He used to chuckle evilly and gloat when got his monthly Social Security check (which was as large as it gets), even though he didn't...

Jamie probably wanted to know why someone would go through the expense of filling a corpse full of PCP (post decapitation) to coverup a stolen ID. Yeesh, that right there is a broken Chekov weapon. Dead bodies don't circulate drugs. Any third-rate autopsy would catch that the PCP tox screen was jus...

I think the whole bathroom argument overlooks a bigger, yet less visible minority. Bladder shy persons outnumber transfolk 7:1, but where's ou- their special bathroom? I would think that any bathroom that has stalls with doors that can latch would do the job. As I understand it, even men's bathroom...

All the restrooms at Vanderbilt Hospital Clinic are unisex--one person at a time. Each doctor's office in the Clinic usually has at least 2 or 3 separate bathrooms. For that matter, every doctor's office I've been to have unisex bathrooms--again, one person at a time. They all have very sturdy locks...

1. Re "well-managed debt" and home mortgages: That can vary enormously across the U.S. Here in Nashville, it is literally a landlord's market, and given current and recent interest rates, one can easily have a home mortgage payment that is much lower than the rent on a crappy apartment. He...
