I'm currently reading Bruce Courtenay's novel The Power of One, about a young white boy's adventures in South Africa during World War II. I also hear there's an interesting new book coming out about Coxey's Army (1894 protest march of the unemployed demanding public works jobs building roads)...

I'm all in favor of giving the accused the benefit of the doubt and calling him innocent until proven guilty, but apparently some people don't think the women are entitled to the same courtesy, because there are some people here would would convict them straightaway of being bitches who want...

I can just say this much (which I fully acknowledge I would not be permitted to consider if I were on a jury where Dr. Cosby was charged): If I were ever accused of such offenses, and if I truly were innocent and had nothing to hide, not only would I unequivocally proclaim that the allegations...

Wow, great story, DAJT. This is why I should probably stay in the dark about the joys of pot, even though so many of my friends and acquaintances in the theatre world enjoy it: That's exactly the kind of thing that would happen to me, and I wouldn't have the smoothness to pull off that...

Very much with you, my friend.

Here's the Princess Diana version, as sung at the funeral: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8gO0Z818j4. I like it, myself.

So sorry to hear of your loss, Kis. My thoughts are with you.

That just makes it into a forbidden fruit. It also destroys the sense of the home as being the sanctuary, if he can't trust his mother not to call the police on him. I could see calling the police if he were endangering others, but not for that.

What I would do is work over her whole body and keep coming back to the armpits. Given that she's ticklish there, there's no danger of its being a total loss. But for the rest of her body, keep her guessing where your fingers are going to go next. Also, see how she'd feel about your sneaking...

This issue comes up every few years. In fact, I think I opened a thread on this theme a decade ago. The fact that the question was on my mind back then shows what a different stage of life I was at--not inferior, just different. Be that as it may, I really think people can figure out for...

What you're describing sounds to me like a change in what your homepage is on IE, which can be readjusted with the IE settings. Google has managed to get its claws into a lot of things, and to advertise itself wherever possible, but it doesn't sound like anything worse than that.

Ah, so that explains it. I thought for sure my essay a year or two ago on the difference between analytical and dismissive thinkers would garner me a Pulitzer.

Route 66: Do you have something specific that you want to transition into? It's a lot more meaningful to talk about entering a specific career than just the general idea of a career change. And I think you'll have the greatest chance of success if there's something specific that you believe...

One thing I can say about the breakup of a marriage: It's very painful, and the pain lasts a while, but it doesn't last forever. Good luck, my brother.

I'm not one of the ones you knew back then, but from your post, I'm certainly glad you're back here now.
