<t>Government has no business legislating abortion or birth control. During the first triemester, a decision to abort should be left up to the individual who is pregnant. After that time, it should be a medical decision based primarily on the woman's health - both mental & physical. Not ever eja...

You've provided a variety of options, but no answer of your own. I'll give you an E for effort, but that's all.

OK, Algebra wizzards. I've got a little treat for you. Solve this and provide an explanation of your answer.

Many moons ago I was deeply involved with a special lady, who's many, many talents included the ability to tie a knot in a cherry stem. Ahh, the memories this subject bring back....!

<t>This thing has become a real quagmire. Iraq is going nuts - despite a massive military presence. Iran is doing a lot of barking about wanting to do nuclear for peaceful purposes. Right. Now there's some talk of Iran funding Hamas should the rest of the civilized world cuts them off. Muslims all o...

I've amassed a variety of talents over the years and am just as comfortable using a stethescope as I am using a 3/8" ratchet & socket set when changing the plugs on my old F-150. Presently I'm a consulting "guru" at a local Home Depot.

<t>The grocery store that we use now has disposable cleaning wipes available at the door for cleaning the cart rails & door handles. <br/> <br/> Yes, the faucets, paper towel dispensers & door handles in a public restroom are filthy. Stuff your pockets with towels on the way in, and wash you...

Genuine maple syrup is carefully graded by color and clarity. It is not found in any significant percentage, if at all, in commercial pancake / waffle sweetners.

P.U.I. Gotta love it!

It's most always beer - thirty, if you want it to be. Other enhancements are generally more preferable. A green leafy substance comes to mind, making my eyes red even while thinking of it!

<t>I worked with the San Antonio, Texas transit system for 10 years. There are some truly thankless jobs out there, and driving city transit bus, dealing with the bus riding public and the accompanying traffic delights certainly one of them. Other thankless jobs might be trash hauler or school bus d...

A well run supermarket is a delight to visit. Locally we use a chain called Publix. Very clean, well stocked, and a generally pleasant & responsive staff. In this general area, the independent grocers tend to be ethnic and are more like specialty shops.

Greetings to you! I had the opportunity to visit your country while stationed in West Germany with the U.S. Army during the 1980's. Come back to the states for a visit anytime.

<t>Choosing a favorite beer is tough. So many choices. Also depends where you live, although in this day of efficient commerce, selections across the country are more varied than they were even 10 years ago. Europeans have access to many brands that simply don't make it across the ocean to the U.S. ...

<t>I wore an Army suit from mid '68 ~ mid '88. More than half of those years were spent outside of the United States. <br/> <br/> B.U.F.F. can have a variety of meanings - to me, it's always been Big Ugly Fat F***er, and very affectionately so. I've seen firsthand the message they deliver with 750lb...

I'm almost there.

<t>Jives, I tend to agree with most of what you've said. When we were facing the U.S.S.R., for example, who'd ever thought airliners would be weapons? We'd certainly seen examples of public suicides (i.e. the monks immolating in Viet Nam) over the years, but to the extent of the last few decades? On...

Thanx for the fine welcome, one & all.

The town I'm in is along I-85, not 75. I rarely go to Atlanta for anything. Virtually everything I need or want on a regular basis can be located within 5 miles of my home.

I'm not really sure where the name came from, but it sorta popped into my head once upon a time & I've sice kinda liked the sound of it. It is in no way related to my real name.

Can you tickle yourself?

Live in a rather small but growing town south of Atlanta. Work in the retail sector now, having retired from another field. Me, my wife & 2 housecats live here.

Greetings to one & all. First time visitor to this forum.
