    Very interesting quizzes

    http://features.pewforum.org/quiz/us-religious-knowledge/?q=16 I was actually surprised that I did that well, as several questions related to Biblical characters I don't know much about - but what surprised me most was that only Jews tested higher than atheists/agnostics. Real food for thought...

    Doctor shopping

    Respect for the dead?

    Driving in Smyrna, Tn, yesterday, on a divided highway, when 5-6 vehicles ahead of me pulled off to the shoulder at the same time. Seeing no reason for it, I kept moving. Then I saw the funeral procession, on the other side of the median. I don't think the law requires drivers to pull over on a...

    A doomsday scenario: you're caught away from home, and there's no more government, or law & order, and you need to survive on foot, with only what you can carry - what would you include in your pack? :confused:

    Texas teen wins right to have baby after suing parents | Fox News I wouldn't say that a 16 year old is unable to be a good parent, because I know a few who were, [and have heard of many others], but I have to say the odds don't look good for this one. It takes a lot of support: financial...

    February

    I know it's early, but Jujubeans said it's ok, so there. I couldn't wait for Jan to end - the weather today was horrendous in Pa, just like Oh & Mi: blowing snow, scary wind gusts, whiteouts, crashes & ice rinks for roads - is it almost spring yet? :(

    Nostalgia

    I can't find the original thread in which Moot expounded upon blinker fluid [I think it had to do with an impending shortage, and hoarding], but I did find one http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/33849-its-end-world.html That reminded me of why I have hung out here...

    TOE Jam is great, FROG Jam is even better!

    and the peach cider is as good [but not as sweet] as Tupelo honey! I hit the Fl/Ga gift shop, and loaded up on goodies: Toe jam is tangerine, orange, & elderberry.

    Serious accident on US 30 near Columbia City No details on the identity of the Panther driver, undoubtedly because the family hadn't been notified yet, but it is a loss for all of us as well.
