Same birthday! He was adopted too, right? Maybe you were separated at birth? You were born first and his was a long gestation for your mother!

Same birthday! He was adopted too, right? Maybe you were separated at birth? You were born first and his was a long gestation for your mother!

I don't mean to be glib here, but so much of this could have been avoided if a safe haven for the Jewish people had been carved out of Northern Saskatchewan. Aside from mosquitos the only hostile...
Wow Wind! Incredible. You know what's going to happen now. It's going to be a major Erasmus day for me tomorrow. So Merry Erasmus!
Interesting about women in men's dress!
So sorry to hear about your brother, Chuckie. I hope he didn't suffer too much. He likely was the cat in your dream and the, "I'm not dead, just sleeping," is reassurance that it isn't over for him,...
So yes, apparently this is bullshit, Fred. Seemed like something Abbot would do though.

Chuckie is on the side of sanity and compassion--or maybe you are unfamiliar with this?
"As a part of a bill critics have dubbed the “Death Star” bill—an expansive law that preempts legislation in...
This is astonishing. What an interesting family you have! On a similar note, Quebec French is much closer to 17th century French than modern French. In Guadalupe, in Caribbean I saw an interesting...
"In an ideal world, it would be wonderful if the Ukrainians were free to choose their own political system and to choose their own foreign policy.
But in the real world, that is not feasible. The...
Oh dear Lord,
Diabolical, Chuckie doesn't agree with you. He thinks differently, forms opinions differently. He shouldn't have to defend himself against your charges of being completely unreliable...
I like that, Chuck. I mean I like that Germans have an actual word for it.
This one is lovely too.
Weltschmerz (German: [ˈvɛltʃmɛɐ̯ts]; literally "world-pain") "a mood of weariness or...
I do think that there is a lot to epigenetics we don't know. I also think that people misconstrue hormonal change (from stress) in pregnant women, affecting their young, as epigenetic, when it's just...
Just scanned this quickly. Junk DNA exists as potential and actualizes through epigenetics, imo, due to any number of conditions. I don't think our thoughts alone can alter our biology enough to have...
I pay U.S. taxes, Chuckie, as I inherited my late husband's business, located in the U.S. I have an accountant who would never let me cheat. I would be too scared to anyway.
But I get what you're...
I heard the other day that one of the ways billionaires get away with paying no or little tax is by taking out bank loans for income. They use their properties and company shares as collateral. You...
Santa has his claus into everything.
Brilliant! Think you're onto something there.
There's something unbelievable about this story. They went from a shack, without a kitchen, in Illinois somewhere, to a multi million dollar Frank Lloyd Wright mansion in Missouri, within the course...
The Supreme Court is producing this new movie called, 'Fetal Attraction.'
They're not pro-life, or there would be mandated universal health care. They are pro-birth and that is an entirely...
"It just occurred to me that it is somewhat ironic when considering Gone with the Wind won over Dorothy's having gone with the wind."
That's funny! They should have swapped names, "Gone with the...
Looks like a bad one. Cars thrown about like dinky toys. Christ.
