  1. It'll be interesting to see what the crash rate because of changing lanes will be over the long-term.
  2. Limburger cheese
  3. Add ... AND sterile ... so you don't have to pony up($$$) ...
  4. Well, yeah, facing the fact that they are losing their looks would make them want to "get down to business." Notice THEY become the hunters and men become the hunted.
  5. I looked her up and she's a 41-y.o. Dayton OH native. Some of her pictures are not flattering, but others are. I think, in constant motion, she looks good. But, kudos to her, she's beautiful and a Hollywood star ... and has managed to be married ONCE and has 2 kids.
  6. Mi dispiace, B. Sareti nei miei pensieri.
  7. Atlanta (a previous home of mine)
  8. banana
  9. What is she? Like 35 to 42? She's a light-skinned Greek, I don't think she's olive skinned at all, from watching an episode or two of "Providence."
  10. bath water
  11. Why all these blondes? Just kidding, of course. It seems to be the American standard for hot. Why not dark-haired women? What about Melina Kanakarides (sp)?
  12. Insane. Absolutely insane. Tonight, Safeway at $ 2.33 before Safeway Club card discount. In 6 months, the price of a COMMODITY has been sliced in HALF. So, it was either too high before or too low right now. A couple of road trips to Tahoe are in the plans...stat...
  13. I KNEW you'd say that. My answer: whoever has the biggest knockers...shallow, I know... Does anyone remember the original "Godfather?" The scene where Al Pacino first makes love to his new bride Apollonia (the one who gets blown up in the car bomb)? And does anyone remember what she looked like from the neck down?
  14. People are free to do what they want to do...and for whatever reason they want to. Maybe they shouldn't talk about it. Guess what? I DID NOT vote for President. About 3 days prior to Election Day, I realized I was disgusted with both candidates...and would have been disgusted if Hillary was the Dem's nominee. I felt that there were enough people out there who were clearly passionate about one candidate or the other...like most of you. There were few people who processed this the way that I did, I'm sure, so I felt comfortable about abstaining. There were enough propositions on the CA ballot that I could read and formulate opinions on, so I voted on those. When the lady at the exit looked at my ballot as I fed it into the scanner, she looked kind of perplexed as that is the first thing one sees....President...up in the upper left hand corner of the form....left blank. Probably more perplexed that I was dressed in a coat and tie. She couldn't have said anything...or she wouldn't have that job.
  15. hot springs
  16. Disagree. Times have changed. A polished black guy with a wedding band and a set of golf clubs is more likely to ascend in a prestigious law firm armed with a J.D. from Virginia or some Ivy League School BEFORE a polished white guy with a comparably ranked law degree, say Michigan or Stanford, but NO wedding band and NO set of golf clubs ever will. I'm just tossing that out as an example. What I'm saying is that "meritocracy" works here and in Canada more so than it does in a lot of places. For those who want to assimilate, and acquire a requisite amount of polish, the opportunities are there. Kudos to Obama for a Harvard education. And kudos to our Hispanic next door neighbors growing up in LA whose daughter got a 3.9 in biochemistry and was admitted to NINE medical schools, making affirmative action superfluous in her case.
  17. Cobalt
  18. AMC (American Motors)
  19. Open 24 hours
  20. I'm not afraid of change. Right now, we need change. I'm just not fond of the fact that some people don't try...or won't try. I learned Spanish in college and retained it...to make my travel experiences easier. You'd think someone would try to learn English to make EVERYDAY LIVING easier. I resent that HALF my ballot was in Spanish. But, evidently it's a much more researched policy call by various states that encompasses more viewpoints than mine, so I guess I'm "outnumbered." Still, I don't like it.
  21. Slurpee (do you have those on the other coast?)
  22. No, no, I hear what you're saying. And that's why I regard Canada as very similar...a previous entity of the British crown that now takes in people from all over the world...What does the inscription on the Peace Arch at Blaine WA/Surrey BC say? "Children of a Common Mother." That being said, a lot of people still view their place of birth as home. My father wanted to live out his last years and be put into the ground in Italy. It didn't happen as planned. He never made it back. And then you know what happens when they do get back to the motherland? They experience huge cognitive dissonance. For my father, it was "sheez, these damn Italians are bureaucratic pompous messes" counterbalanced by "sheez, the people here are REAL...I can relate to them." When in America, it was "well everything runs well here and is so organized," but "damn, '(Nordic/Aryan)' types are so sterile," so they mostly associated with other "high-drama" immigrants, unless they knew the parents of other nationalities via us kids in school. Let the successful architect go back to Cuba. He'll be doing "Toronto-Havana-Toronto" on the plane a lot. Not being immigrants, I don't think we can fully relate. However, if I don't like a country, I don't go there. And if I like it enough to go there, I try to immerse myself in their ways. It's funny how easily I've made friends, or just found people who have treated me extremely well, in the places I've enjoyed traveling to.
  23. Think hirsute like a gorilla.
  24. How do you expect to be supported when you can't spell LEFTIST and GUERILLA? Can you feel the love?
  25. All right, Nick, where've you been? I knew you'd process this as such. +1 My problem is that some of them don't even try. And with bilingual EVERYTHING, there's no need to. As the old adage goes, "Give an inch, take a mile." Anybody over 20 years of age has seen MANY examples of this in various aspects of their lives...or they're living in a vacuum. I'm not from Utah. I was born and raised in LA. My best grammar school friends were Cuban. My (4) best high school friends were Cuban, Italian, Irish and Japanese. My best college friend was Mexican-American. The parents of the Hispanic ones spoke with an accent but managed to learn English, though it was comical - "eschool," "eskiing" and "Esteve McQueen." But they could read, write and speak basic English. I think that those of us who have this so called "entitlement" issue have roots in places in the globe for which NO concessions were granted to our ancestors who crossed the ocean to get here.
