I think you can be addicted to anything. The brain is a complex beastie. However, people need to be responsible for their actions and not use “omg sex addict” as an excuse.

What a specific thing to make.

Don’t feel embarrassed; my husband and sister in law were in scouts until their late teens, because mummy is a scout leader. (At 72! She camps in the Ontario winter!)

So, take this with a grain of salt, but-

Yes! I forgot about the peas. (it’s been 15 years.)

Long, long ago, I was in a Cognitive Psych class learning about categorization and how it lends itself to racism. I was taught how important it was to recognize your internal biases, and examine how it affects how you treat others. I try to keep that in mind now.

Much obliged.

My dad was/is racist and homophobic. It is no secret. But he made a point to make sure his kids didn’t feel that way, and never says a word against anyone based on race or sexual identity. I think I got it lucky.

Apparently in the US, over 2 million people are still on dialup. So I guess it stands to reason.

That’s the one!

I will always clap bad jokes. A- (should have had a badum-tish in there.)

I kinda figured it was an excuse for the extra large double doubles twice a day. I guess it’s easier than exhibiting some friggen self control.

He isn’t alone in that. I’ve heard that in Alberta, too. I think it’s because there’s a rumour that they roast the beans in tobacco leaves-but I don’t think that’s how that works.

So, there’s this book that has Jesus and a buddy finding the magi, and one is in China. While in China, Jesus becomes a complete coffee addict. In I think Nepal, he invents jew-do. (It is not a book that takes itself very seriously.)

I tripped over that too. That’s not just uttering threats-I get that prison in the states is no picnic, but surely planning the murder of so many people warrants a bit more than 5 years.
