I'm not seeing the notice when I log in.

Huffington Post's article on that has two sentences that don't seem to make sense together. One is that 1% own half the world's wealth. The other is that 85 people own half the world's wealth. Doesn't that mean the global population is only 8,500. What happened to everyone?

Label the slap as a kinetic impact skin toning regime and they'll stand there and let you do it over and over again.

The evanglical's I know are WAY pissed off at this new pope. They don't think he's a true Christian, but they'll support him up until he says something they don't like.

I have a friend in his 40s who was taught the same things you were. He was discouraged from going to college, or even finding a wife, because the world's ending soon so why bother. He still has some really messed up ideas of how the world really works.

What scandalous thing is she helping him cover up, by not releasing the photos?

What an adolescent crush I had on Stevie back in the day.

I find it weird that during my lifetime we've gone from scary Soviet dictatorship (doing duck and cover drills in school) to friendly democracy and nearly back again.

Obviously, it's an attempt by the CDC to kill all our daughters.

I like the part where it's OK to ask God to have bears attack children when they call me "baldy". Seriously, the weirdest story in the Bible in my opinion.

"As Faith Driven Consumers, we choose to match our wallets to our worldview and support companies whose corporate actions are compatible with MY biblical faith". There. Fixed it for them. It surprising how often the devout make that mistake.

There's are people for whom religion is such an influential part of their life that someone else who says they're "not religious" just doesn't compute. To them it's like saying you're "not air-breathing." I've been in your situation and sympathize, but go ahead and go with them to Mass and consider it theater. Just…

You have to remind yourself as you pay $15 for a knitted potholder that it's going to a good cause.

Suppose you're with someone, and fully prepared to marry them, but while she says she's fully committed to us growing old together, doesn't want to get married again. I've never been married before. Do I resign myself to never asking, or should I still pop the question occasionally to see if she's changed her mind? …

There's a bit of that element which applies to both men and women. Companies don't want to hire and train someone for a job and have them leave for any reason. As I was finishing my degree, I made the bonehead move of telling an engineering recruiter from a huge firm the truth when he asked me where I hoped to be in…

How odd. Lockers in the classroom around here are only in the elementary schools where the students don't change rooms.

This was exactly my expectation. Carrying a backpack saves a couple of minutes which allows for more time between class for socializing. Off topic a bit, but do high schools still have a "study hall" period? When I was there, many years ago, I walked the whole school collecting attendance slips from each teacher…

Our band room had a locked cage for the instruments.

The time between classes was why I mentioned the size of my school. You could get from extreme ends within that building in a couple of minutes max. It's been too long for me to remember how long we had between. 5 minutes would have been ample to grab books and get to the next class.

Do schools not have lockers anymore? At my middle school and high school you carried maybe 1 or 2 books at a time and left the rest in your locker. Between classes you made a quick switch for whatever class was next. At night you only brought home what you needed for homework. High school was about 1200 students,…
