No - it just makes one even more appreciative, is all. Speaking of FedEx, I just saw an ad for power units to pull company owned reefers, it said you will go straight into White Glove. I bet that makes a lot of people [besides ATeam] angry. Accepting people with no track record into an 'elite'...

So, is the Load 1 lounge [which is almost as nice as in the photo] been ruined in the 3 years since it was created? Last time I peeked in, it still looked pretty nice.

Haha - one ******* does not a convincing case make. [Especially from the Daily Mail!] Sure, he eats lobster, but it doesn't mention the other 29 or 30 days a month. $200 for one person isn't buying food all month, even if one is extremely careful about it. What about the military personnel on...

Almost forgot: I asked the one person I know who doesn't want children: my younger daughter, about the reactions she gets when people hear her say that. She said almost everyone assures her that she will change her mind [she's 23], as if she doesn't know her own mind, or is making the wrong...

I didn't say 'calming' [art can have the opposite effect, lol] I said 'civilizing'. Enriching, like reading literature instead of comic books. Looking at paintings, instead of porn. [When they are materially different, which isn't always the case.] Listening to classical, instead of rap. [That...

You think Democrats want people to think Republicans are a bunch of old white racist men who are greedy and want dirty air and dirty water? [You forgot: patronize women!] I think those who see Republicans as guilty of those personality traits are those who watch what they [politicians] do, not...

I repeat: it was the conservatives [particularly the Tea Party] that pushed PP into the limelight of politics. I was a client for many years before that happened, so I know that their core mission hasn't changed, but they've been forced to respond to the many 'defunding' efforts and attacks...

The argument is that the arts, like parks, wilderness, & libraries, have a civilizing effect upon people, and it's in our collective best interest to encourage that. Do you disagree?

Almost 30000 posts [as opposed to RLENT's less than 7000 & my less than 10000] says that's a lie.

Breaking Down Centi-Millionaire 'Papa' John Schnatter's Obamacare Math - Forbes [I figured you'd just dismiss the article on Huffpost, lol, but there's plenty to choose from.] Why does it not seem believable that CEOs will jump on any excuse to defend raising prices, hiring fewer people...

There were several comments referring to having seen it - that's all I know. Planned Parenthood never intended nor wanted to be any part of politics. It was conservatives who dragged it in, because they object to abortion, and contraceptives, and effective sex education. All of which combines to...

Would it be possible for you to resist the temptation to jump into a serious discussion with utter nonsense? Because it is really, really RUDE. If you have nothing to say, DON'T SAY IT. Thank you.

"Science would have you believe that a handful of monkey's [sic] climbed to the top, and now possess the right to control everything"? No, that's not even close to what science would have me believe. Men, OTOH, would have me believe that because they are physically stronger, they have a natural...

And as usual, someone who has nothing to say [nothing on topic, anyway] WILL derail it. How dare we have a conversation in which thoughts are expressed and debated in a grown up manner?! And nobody points out how terrible Obama is?! And there's absolutely zero puerile humor?! No - somebody won't...

I'll try it [maybe a pen - don't have any chopsticks handy], but if a product that was designed to work when touched with a finger doesn't, I wouldn't call it "great", exactly. I'd call it a failure. PS The cold isn't the issue with mine, because it doesn't respond even when it's warm. And it...

Per the 'pay it forward' rules, you have to post something you screwed up now, so I can learn from your mistake, lol. ;) PS: I do like the new mirrors better, they have LED lights!

I loved it! It is a real look at parenthood, which isn't all sweet & cuddly baby powder scented moments, but is worth every sleepless night, IF you want to be a parent. LDB and DaveKC are wrong, though: per the comments following the article, it has been shown in the US. And nobody's head...

The 13th Amendment was passed in 1865, when the Republican Party was barely 10 years old. The 14th Amendment was passed in 1866, and the Republican Party of then was not the Republican Party of now. One big difference: they were for high wages for workers, and high tariffs to protect them. They...

None of them are wheel chocks - snap! ;)
