You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like
sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the
chips and dip coming.

No person really decides before they grow up who they’re going to marry.God
decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who
you’re stuck with.

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.

It barely made news last week when Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne called for the testing of nonlethal weaponry on US citizens in crowd-control situations. According to Wynne, “If we’re not willing to use it here against our fellow citizens, then we should not be willing to use it in a wartime situation.”
“War on terror” blowback hits Main Street.
But it’s naïve to think that once developed, US military weapons will only be used against foreign populations. The Bush administration’s “you’re with us or against us” mentality leaves little room for domestic dissent, and as the line blurs between military and national security technologies, folks back home will find themselves increasingly targeted.
One example of a crowd-control device possibly coming to your hometown is Raytheon’s Active Denial System heat-beam, which a US Air Force fact sheet describes as a “focused speed-of-light millimeter wave energy beam to induce an intolerable heating sensation.” How long before a weapon like that is illicitly used for interrogations, let alone for torture?
There’s also the crowd-control Taser, an updated version of the “stun gun” already authorized for US government use against civilians. The Taser delivers a short-term electrical charge of 50,000 volts and though marketed as a non-lethal weapon, has been linked to a number of deaths. While the Taser’s dart-firing technology is of little use for crowd control or on vehicles, a new laser version of the gun will reportedly be able to deliver a similar 50,000-volt shock across a crowd.

i think we need a new personal holiday (on the same level as say, a graduation – since it’s something you’ve been working toward for YEARSssss)…..it’s for divorced women everywhere who’ve managed to raise their kids, for the most part, on their own. it’s the day that child support is no longer payable……. which is also the day that divorced moms no longer have to struggle with, cajole, “coordinate” with and generally be under the interminable thumb of…. their ex. i think we should call it………. ‘Good Riddance’ Day………
i’ve also noticed ….. in my struggles with my teenage daughter of late….. that all of my actual questions are apparently rhetorical to her.
