Is it irrational to believe in the Aristotelian notion of a soul when it is a Greek concept and not a Jewish one? Is it in fact fucking stupid to believe in the existence of a soul when Jesus Christ didn’t? Logic is no friend to the Catholic Church.

That is horrifying, and I am so sorry you had to endure that.

God bless you. I can’t read more than one at a time anymore. Maybe my brain is aging prematurely?

What a fun game. And better than being burned on the stovetop or with cigarettes. And better than being forced to drink bleach.

Interesting approach. My dog - who has not been fixed because his veterinarian recommended that I wait at least a year after his abdominal surgery - learned not to mount my leg or shoe without any physical injury to his person. As with children, animals can be taught without violence.

Congratulations on your upcoming birthday!

Agreed. A “ghost” story can be composed and retold very, very well. But I find reality more chilling.

That isn’t the way the electoral college works.

Honestly, anyone who has been married and divorced twice is smart to think again before marrying a third time. Statistics are not on his side. *He* is the common denominator, and most likely, a third (and fourth, and fifth, etc) marriage wouldn’t last. I’d gather that he has a fundamental problem (or several) which…

OMG, we have health trolls now? This is really a thing? Jesus.

Did you read this article? Destabilization of our political and economic world order means global catastrophe.

They read?

I’m a lot more confident in my ability to run from a knife than I am in my ability to run from bullets.

Another point in the favor of goat milk: around ten percent of those of us who have cow’s milk protein allergies can safely ingest goat milk and goat milk products! I grew up on goat milk and adore the taste. Goat and sheep cheeses are fantastic. I hope more people discover them. :)

There’re also lactase pills. They come in handy, transportable, chewable tablets.

My almond milk has fewer calories and the same (or superior) nutritional benefits as are found in cow’s milk (without the breast cancer!) and soy milk.
