He’s dead. He was killed while still in the building. Per local news (I live in a neighboring suburb), he was in a meeting during which he was let go. He started shooting during the meeting, moved into the office outer area, and kept shooting.  He killed five people and shot five police officers.  They haven't…

I am old. The chicken pox vaccine wasn’t available until I was well into adulthood. I got chicken pox when I was ten years old. I can’t remember ever being any sicker than that, even when I had pneumonia. I had blisters in my eyes, ears, mouth, and freaking everywhere else. I ran a fever of 104 degrees. There wasn’t…

Are you freaking kidding?  You think a woman and her caregiver are somehow not qualified to determine what is best for the woman's health?  What is your definition of "too broad"? 

So what qualifies as "no reason" in your books and what business do you have to judge someone else's decision?

It is literally pre-school talk.  Freaking literally.

They are looking for exact time and location information, which is completely legitimate and potentially helpful. I would avoid giving law enforcement any personal information whenever possible, but it does seem weird to me that the victim doesn’t want to cooperate in the investigation. I believe him. If he is lying…

 And you are ignorant.

This happened to one of my close friends.  She carried a dead baby for weeks before she could find a doctor willing to help her.  It should also be noted that this threatens the life of the mother in re excessive bleeding and the spread of dangerous bacteria and similar through her body.

What a dumba$$.  I'm in the Chicago area.  Schools are closed.  Chicago rarely closes schools for snow, but they know very well that cold like we are experiencing will cause frostbite or death very quickly.  It isn't about being "soft" or "tough." You don't develop a tolerance.  Of course, Bevin isn't all that into…

Aand mine is 6'3".

Where the hell did you go to school?  My 1980's public school experience was vastly different.  Girls didn't take civics unless they were in an advanced program?!

Those lenders and most others are offering assistance - deferred payments, waived fees, bridge loans, etc. Other companies are as well, especially utilities and telecoms.

Do not even try to tell me that they aren’t old enough to be responsible for this behavior. They are. I guarantee you that they understand racism and hatred. They deserve to suffer consequences. I certainly don’t advocate violence, but they should be expelled from school and turned down by college admissions. I firmly…

I would like to hear more about see-through steel.

Agreed. I emailed the school’s principal and shared that opinion. I also told him that I thought their religious studies program needs some work.

Fake pearls.

This sounds fabulous!  I wish there was something similar in my area.

It’s generally believed Miller wrote Trump’s inauguration speech. I am sure this one will be much darker and even more scaremongering.  I think Trump is really going to try the national emergency scheme.

I am super impressed with your cynicism and cultural fatigue. I’m so glad you all are around to criticize actual journalists.

This is a superficial, but I'm saying it anyway.  She looks bad.  She looks much older, haggard.  I hope that her behavior is taking a toll on her wellbeing.
