Also seems to mean neutered male cat.

I think it is reasonable to refrain from giving up one's cat, neutered or not.

In the Ballroom. That's why taking ballroom dance lessons is on the bucket list.

It won't be done by November, so that party is up for grabs. Where would you like it?

Not at all. I think it is strategic hospitality.

All the fans in the US are having the time of their lives, posting, telling everyone they have been lied to about the US, are ready to live here and have discovered food, refills and BBQ.

The fans that are watching games in Canada are...quiet. Very, very quiet. I don't they are having such a smashing good time.

Good counterpoint, actually.

Just remember how much they would hate being lifted up to the Father. Motivation.

Normal humans like beauty, but the beasts who've taken over the left hate all that's good.

We have discussed the ugliness that is so prevalent at the moment. It really isn't an aesthetic choice; it is a preference for evil in visual form.

The Library didn't only contain magical books, the ones which are chained to their shelves and are very dangerous. It also contained perfectly ordinary books, printed on commonplace paper in mundane ink. It would be a mistake to think that they weren't also dangerous, just because reading them didn't make fireworks go off in the sky. Reading them sometimes did the more dangerous trick of making fireworks go off in the privacy of the reader's brain. Terry Pratchett

It is difficult to change the words in a printed book. Electronic editing, not so much.

Why choose only one? Surely there is enough culpability to go around.

Part of the responsibility of being in a position of power is to not abuse that power.

"Hot female teachers", and even not-so-hot female teachers have easy access to sex. Such is the gender dynamic and the laws of supply and demand. The children in their care, over whom they have authority are off limits. This is made clear to every educator. The lack of control on the part of a teacher is always a very large red flag.

The factor that is left out is the power imbalance.

It will keep the age demographic of Islamic rape victims muzzled as well. Advance planning?

I disagree. Detroit as a whole should once again be the manufacturing star of the world.

So it might be a lot of bravado and posing rather than say country boys that actually hunt.

I'm not sure. It is a new technology to me; I've never used it, but yes, even if the algae dies, it still needs to be removed.

Yeah, but do they hit anything? How can you fire that much with so little results? I am not in favor of shooting people willy nilly, but I think at some point one has to think "Hey, when did I last have an eye exam?" or perhaps "Hey maybe I should consider one of the trades".

Beauty IS a top priority. That is why so much was destroyed and why its restoration is resisted.

Self test: romantically pursue Rosie O'Donald. Anybody? Go ahead, we'll wait.

Update: There is a filtration system (based on aquatic technology unavailable in the 1920's) in place and starting to function. It always takes a while to shock the pool. Just sayin'
