  1. I had a taste of a 1948 Gattinara that retailed for several hundred dollars a bottle.
  2. I like tattoos on men because even as a small boy, I found them very erotic. I would get little-boy boners over tattooed men.
  3. I like it all. Especially fond of bearded men, though.
  4. I read her first novel "surfacing" as an assignment for a class in existential literature in college. Found it really lame. I was surprised at what a good author she became.
  5. Not the best time of year to start a hike on the Appalachian Trail.
  6. I've never had much success with them, either taking them or feeding them
  7. If you had thought of some of the foreign words for "news," it might have cleared up your confusion: les nouvelles in French, die Nachrichten in German, etc
  8. I used a walker after both of my spine surgeries. It seems like the PT fitted it. They were just average walkers with rubber feet. I also had crutches, but I can't remember how it all worked with the crutches and the walker.
  9. I was under the impression that the learning curve was fairly steep.
  10. OTOH, maybe it's a literary device.
  11. Yet another I don't travel by air unless I just can't avoid it. I'm really lucky to live in one of the world's more desirable places so I dont feel a strong need to get away from it very much.
  12. Wasn't the emphasis on surrogacy intentional? Everyone living a fake, virtualized existence?
  13. I love the sound of Mandarin spoken by western non-native speakers. It makes me want to run out and sign up for a class in Mandarin.
  14. The world very often isn't the you way you would have thought it should be.
  15. What was the point of your story? Living in San Francisco, with such a large population of foreign-born Chinese, one learns to roll with cultural differences. If you weren't able to do that, it would be a difficult place to live. There are plenty of rude, bad-mannered American small business owners.
  16. As is most international diplomacy.
  17. Of course it is. I'm a lawyer, so I'm in the habit of using weasel words.
  18. Your post is only semi-coherent. Out of bed too early.?
  19. That is a legal fiction that a But it can be argued that Communist China was the successor to Imperial China, having all of the sovereign rights formerly held by Imperial China.
  20. The reverse is true. Google "biological species concept."
  21. It surprises me that we think of Neanderthals as a separate species. Under the biological species concept, if two populations can successfully reproduce, they are of the same species.
  22. I think I have been to more states than I haven't been to, but I'm not going to list them.
  23. But he has severed communication. That's the same thing as cancelling. I wouldn't wait around for him.
  24. That goes without saying
  25. It would be a lot of fun to spend time with you in Starkville. Don't be surprised if I take you up on it.
