While I respect the fact that ~you~ may not be interested in the WNBA, it's a fallacy that NO ONE cares about them, or else the team would have been disbanded or moved long before now.

I personally couldn't give two poofs in a windstorm about the Mariners, for example (I'm married to a devoted Angels fan), but I respect the fact that the Mariners have a devoted fan base, even if I'm not among them. (Incidentally, I think the Storm players are compelling examples of talented female athletes; I wish them all the best.)

But to return to your comment... Universal statements - including: never, no one, always, everyone, etc. - are usually false, unless we are dealing with objective, linear data not overly shaded by one's beliefs. Even then, it depends on other parameters, like Quantum Mechanics and the impact of one's intent and consciousness on this and other parallel universes. (See the book Quantum Enigma - a fascinating book I was blessed to receive as a Yule gift.)

Just saying... In any event, I wish you well.

Agreed. A couple of things I'd add to the discussion:

1) Marijuana does not need to be smoked to be imbibed. One can cook or bake with it - spicy spaghetti, anyone? There are also "vaporizers" that allow the user to inhale a stream of warm mist, NOT hot smoke. The substance is not actually burned, so there is no soot or tar, etc. Much easier on the body. I'm looking at getting one for use with salvia divinorum (or other herbs like damiana, etc.) in my work and spiritual practice as a shaman.

2) The comments about driving while under the influence. DUI laws already exist (and frankly, should be even tougher). DUI means driving impaired by ANY SUBSTANCE, legal or illegal - you can even get a ticket for being foggy from cold medication. So we've already got the laws and mechanisms in place for catching and punishing those who "smoke and go for broke."

But really... I recall marijuana as a "smoke a bowl, eat a Twinkie, take a nap" experience. Ah, the 70s...

Well stated, sir. I agree wholeheartedly.

Your anger is justified! I too am angered, and left with an aching grief that this happened to the dear lady. Nobody deserves to have their life end that way. I have heard a bit about the issue of monopolies in elder care facilities, but admit I'm not well-versed. There certainly is no shortage of predatory and heartless practices within this field, of that I'm sure.

May your Christmas be peaceful and joyous, sir.

Dr_C, I am so very sorry to hear about what happened to your mother. I cannot possibly imagine how horrifying those revelations must have been for you to hear. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, and I wish all of you peace. I hope that memories of happier times with your mother will be of some comfort during the holidays.

And at the end of the touching ceremony, the clergy said unto mymytwocents, "You may now kiss the Bud..." *teehee*

Dude...! Sounds like it's time for your meds, hun. Or maybe LESS of them, if they're self-administered. Just a helpful suggestion for your well-being. ;)

Gordon, no one could or should attempt to "justify" what happened to you. What happened was horrific child sexual abuse (CSA). and it's NOT based on whether someone is gay or not. . It happens more frequently than people want to admit - trust me, I know. It's the child abuse that's inherently wrong, NOT the sexual orientation. Just as relatively few straight men sexually abuse young girls (unless they're pedophiles), it is the EXCEPTION rather than the rule that adult males assault young boys, or adult women assault young girls.

In any case, regardless of orientation, it is the pedophilia that is horrific - the sexual abuse committed, the shattered trust of a child. That is the wrongness. People who are "straight" commit more of these crimes, numerically, than gays and lesbians do. So, please... Learn the difference. Just like you don't blame Polish people because your burglar happened to be named Wajahowski, it's not fair to see all gays as your abuser, or potential abuser. Many of us work tirelessly to advocate for the protection of children against any and all abuses,

Please, open your eyes a bit. And know that I'm aching for you. You'll be in my prayers.

Oh, SNAP! Nicely put, I must say. I am sick of these RWNJs whining about how things are changing - I'm betting they miss the "good ole days" when they could use the "N word" with impunity, and call any working female of any age a "girl," and get away with it, Poor babies; the times, they are a-changing.

Wow, you mean they don't line up like good LGBT sheep to be bashed, bullied, and harassed, just as you'd like them to? I'll have to bring that one up at the next Secret Mee,,. um, nevermind. Nothing to see here; move along...

Bwahahahahahaha!
