The digital-rectal exam feels like a finger prick as well.

Social security was initially sold as a ‘compact between the generations,’ and it’s worked pretty well except for stupid griping. The fact of the matter is, it’s worked to keep a lot of seniors out of poverty, and enabled them to lead more independent lives.

I think you and I have a different view of society, so there’s that. What would you do about kids or about folks who were injured or sick and could no longer work to support themselves? I’m independent but I tithe and give to charity because I realize that not everyone had the benefits of being raised by parents who…

I see this all the time, people who don’t get government services and wonder where their taxes go. Do you drive on roads? Do you receive police protection? Is there an army and a government looking out for your national interests? Are there fire services? If you run a business, are there educated people you can hire…

You know as a boomer I never once regretted the money I paid in that went to your parents and grandparents, so go screw yourself stupid.

My democratic party? Lol. When did that happen?

Fuck that. IMS is private property and they should pay people, out of the revenues of their for-profit event, to clean up. Why should anyone subsidize this effort with free labor?

People born in ‘88 aren’t grown men. They’re still chi-

A little off topic, but I love how they give you the idea that you can do stairs without evening having to bend your back. Let me know if you find 45º steps in a modern house, heh.

You really ought to go to both places before you write a brainfart like that.

Yeah if we really cared about democracy and freedom we’d support regime change in Bahrain like in Iraq, Syria, and Libya because that turned out so well for them and us. When you are signing up, shooter?

The same could be said for American musicians who provide private perform for these losers, meanwhile all they care about is the money instead of the the peace they sing about.

It appears that Prince will get involved to some degree, bringing much-needed cash

+1 for the loose tooth anecdote. That’s a real Dad Move right there.

My dad’s preferred method of splinter removal was to whip out his buck knife and just dig at it until it was removed, usually resulting in a minor wound that hurt worse than the splinter did.

Incidentally, we tried really hard not to complain about splinters in his presence. The same went for loose teeth, thanks to…

That’s a good question, Engel. People change due to life circumstances and are always in flux. Adding children, health issues, work/life balance, family, and social commitments to the mix will change up prioritization in no particular order.

The worst part is you’ll now have to hear from the most vile group of people at your school about how much better they are than the most vile group of people from the school down the road. That should be fun.

I’ll add not listening to your contractor or forcing them to cut corners because you’re tight. Don’t redo one room’s floor if it’s not going to look good transitioning to the next room, just redo everything, or at least plan it in stages so by the last stage it all looks good. Someone I know just dropped a lot on…

Dad's a piston, and little kids sure are spark plugs, but shouldn't mom be a cylinder?
