My diaper is fine; speak to whomever I was quoting there. . . rtgw big  NeoLiberal(likely, or some such) crybaby; I'm not "Conservative" (or  "Republican"); I'm just grounded in reality(a reality that includes God & the  moral laws He has given us)

Hopefully it's up to the task of the self-jinx you just called in on yourself!

Ditto with anything I'm using -- if it won't update automatically, every night  at 01h30, I don't need it.

Even so, I wouldn't spread them -- the butterknife stays in the silverware  drawer, & stool goes for a forced swim. . .

Yup, but the laws of stadards & measures are Imperial based (MPH, gallons, etc; milk in pints & quarts; cream in cups(or half-pints?) or pints. . .

In weather, your rain is reported in inches (kind of a big unit when often  you're measuring 0.01/inch, which doesn't translate well to 1/16s. . .

Odd, as it's the South that made RC so big. . .

& do you see Sprite, or you're too close to Atlanta to see anything but Coke?

I say, within the interactions of consenting adults, age doesn't matter.

It was & so is our generation. It'd be simpler if people could wait until  marriage, as you have to be an adult to get married.

My adult step-daughter wanmts her mom & me to evaluate any future wooers,  because she knows we've lived a long time(longer than her) & know the red flags that she has no clue about. . . (or might not see if she's "blinded by love"-- she's beyond the age of being hormonally messed up by recent puberty)
