Guess where I just found sugar! In salt. The iodized salt on my shelf has dextrose. Wow.

None of the options is enough like the old format that it's worth changing to. I guess I'm going to have to adjust, slowly. But then, I'm getting all this for free! So I'm not going to make a stink about it.

Purple Amulet? Pencil Armature? Priapic Arrestor? Plumed Aardvark?

I agree. But I think that it invites a battle with her if you even have the TV on, or even available. I'd say, if you have to have her back in your house, put the TV away. And anticipate: "Where's the TV? I want to watch something." "Sorry, Mom. I've put the TV away. We won't be using it this week [or however long she is visiting]." "But I want to watch something!" "Sorry, Mom. I've put the TV away. We won't be using it this week." "You're being rude. I'm a guest in your house and you need to get the TV out for me." "Sorry, Mom. We won't be using it this week." "You're doing this because of me, aren't you?" "I'd just prefer not to use it this week." "But why did you put it away?" "I'd just prefer not to use it this week." "That's no reason. Why are you doing this?" "I'd just prefer not to use it this week." I think you understand the tactic here....

until someone gets offended by this thread because they think it is about all men.

I read in a book by a woman that most men don't want to f*** the ones they like to talk to. Also, most don't want to talk to the ones they want to f***. I think this is also true for gay men. (Not all of them, but a lot.)

I guess I can understand seeing him again, and thinking right away of him having a child nearby. I would say if the idea of his having a child enters your head when you are with him, do your best to concentrate on 1) him peeling his clothes off and the parts of his body you like 2) the hot hole he wants you to turn into a freeway tunnel for your Pelvic Prius 3) his grunts and gasps of pleasure Thinking about those things right now sure drive off the thought of anything else in my mind!

And also how those in the highest positions changed after leaving the industry.

This was my first thought reading the thread title.

Slater is immortal. He has no birthday!

At first I thought that you heard questions coming out of one of them. Weird! Then I got the joke (that you have to talk to some on the phone and on email!).

Too bad we can only hit the "like" button once!

I saw another one in the theater. When I remember the name, I'll post it here.

I don't agree with this. Donuts are seriously lacking in anything even the teeniest bit nutritious.

Not necessarily. Do like those French people in Trader Joe's, and read the ingredients.

You'll also like the documentary "Fed Up", narrated by Katie Couric.

Yes. I started about 30 years ago.

SAYS WHO?????

This is just as informative without the sound.

Name-Dropper!

If someone uses a custom tool that is electric and spins, is "clockwise" considered "front to back" or "back to front"?

How do they know? Do the birds send each other flowers?

No, but he's still immortal!

When I first glanced at this, I thought it was going to say the "Nob Hill Theatre"!
