Too much blather! I lost interest before you even began with what was ostensibly the content.

I have been in that French town. It was so sad. There is a wall with pictures of all the people. I cried a lot that day.

There is an amazing film about the making of Apocalypse Now.... It's called "Hearts of Darkness" and has footage filmed on set by the Director's wife.

In countries where the rabies vaccine is not widely available, they have rabies wards for humans in hospitals. Patients are put in restraints if they become violent, and their screaming can be heard throughout the ward. Since there is no treatment, they are basically left to die in that condition. Some of the most disturbing shit I've ever seen

Who assumes that a woman MUST be pregnant just because she says she has an announcement to make? Or if she gains weight? Or if she gets married? Or if she asks for a non alcoholic drink? Or if she feels nauseated before noon? Only a simple minded misogynist would automatically assume pregnancy, especially when they don't even know her personally.

Bitch please. Casey Anthony is guilty AF. Just because she shed some tears over killing her daughter does not mean she didn't do it. She was at the trial. She knows the cause of death. She knew where the body was the whole time, because she put it there! The girl is nasty; she wanted drinking and partying more than she wanted her own baby.

When CFCs were banned in the US, every aerosol-based medication in the USP had to be reformulated. For example, albuterol (rescue drug for asthma) was rebranded Albuterol HFA, with HFA indicating hydrofluoroalkane, the non-CFC propellant that was substituted. There were many patient complaints that the HFA propellant was not as effective, and patients did not like that they now had to clean their inhalers (whereas apparently this was not necessary with the CFC-containing formulation).

I don't understand the appeal of butt plugs... Is that for people who like feeling constipated? lol

I think life in prison is a harsher punishment than execution. After all, dying is easy; it's living that's hard.

Agreed: how you feel is more important than what you weigh.
