Li Chan has it right. Women in general are no longer so willing to be tied to the kitchen stove and rearing of children for many years while the men go out to business during the day and see their male friends in the evening. This is definitely an Asian cultural change. Back in the olden days, one supposed that one…

People forget political history and the consequences thereof so quickly don’t they. See: Spanish civil war, Pinochet’s Junta in Chile .... just for starters.

I do love flip flops especially around the house and garden but .... last week I was doing some garden work wearing them and stubbed my baby toe on a decorative boulder - which is to say, I broke it. Now I’m wearing crocks for that garden stuff.

You misunderstand me. I in no way think it is ok to guard personal privacy of health in a democracy and not in a communist regime. We need international rules that apply across the board - in times of extreme emergency, proper access to records is vital to anticipate what is going to be required and how soon. I am…

I have heard some similar accounts of people travelling just prior to the ‘official’ outbreak and having some pretty intense and long lasting illness upon their returns. It could have well been circulating quite a while before officially recognized.

Vanessa met him when he played Lancelot to her Guinevere in the film of Camelot. They fell madly in love, just like in the movie. She became pregnant, and they had a son. Hence the scandal. After that she was with Timothy Dalton (another heartthrob of the time). She reunited with Nero many years after and eventually…

That’s kind of comparing apples to oranges. The government of China is communist - they do as they wish regardless of the consequences to their own population or other governments. There is no accountability... to anyone. 

As these three employees were, I believe, treated at hospital, then we (as in the rest of the world) should be able to review their medical diagnosis, treatment and outcomes.

Marx is just cute as a button in that video - and his hair is outstanding. He was a great crooner on that track.

Please have your kids vaccinated everyone - male and female. It has to be done before they are sexually active. My daughter had the course (4 shots I think) when she was 12. Boys were not even on the radar to have it. I don’t think they knew what the impact could be. Two decades later, we do know how deadly this can…

This is timely. I am having a rough time this week. Three friends have been diagnosed with cancer. Both men have contracted esophageal cancer. One is just finishing up treatment and the odds look promising. The other is terminal. THEY BOTH HAVE HPV. They did not know that they had HPV. This is now a big alert for men…

I watched the segment, and that is one of the questions I came away with. If, in fact, there are many young people out there who are transitioning ‘for the wrong reasons’, then it is the duty of care of the medical community to help sort out the issues with them - and those mental health treatments that may be…

I’m with you. I guess I’m just truly too old for this shit. I have been listening to Beatles and the The Beach Boys a lot recently - I guess I just crave the days of innuendo as opposed to what is going on now. Let me show you all my body parts and lets do it in public. Let’s sing songs about fucking as in ‘I’m coming…

a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object

The mother superior had some power over the other nuns in a convent but she received her orders from the priest.

Hahaha. Mirror, mirror on the wall ....

Well.... conventional catholicism is a cult if ever there was one. Top dude (Mr. Pope) is appointed by god to lead the masses. Most of the popes over the century were as far from saintly as you can get. I know I don’t even have to go there with the issues with priests. You know, the guys who are told by god and the…

As you point out, that is how the insurance industry works. They will try to avoid paying out claims at all costs. They are fully aware that it is extremely stressful and time consuming to get reimbursement and know that a good percentage of clients will just give up at some point. 

Is it just the style or the poo brown color that really offends? I say, both.

Sometimes its used for a very dry martini that demands only a hint of vermouth - a spritz of vermouth. Why is Martha making that weird face though.
