The funny part of this is that based on my research, I see Hitler's government as being disorganized, and more than a little chaotic. And his so-called masterpiece of a manifesto? One of the most childish, poorly written things I've read. Yes, I know what I read was a translation, but I've read other translations of tracts that did not end up sounding like gibberish.

Another step to get people to accept increasing levels of hatred, and persecution.

I do know a few people who are from evangelical families who no longer believe, but keep quiet around families to avoid being ostracized. I have no idea how common this is. I do know that 'knowing a guy' isn't exactly proof of anything. Still interesting.

I'm also wondering how many people go through the motions, who don't really believe in them. I'm not sure how they'd be classified, or how they can even be counted.

It's a wired one with AA battery backup (Kidde). I'm in a building where the wired ones are required in bedrooms. It seems odd that the battery still drains so quickly. Reviews seem mixed, and indicate that the 10 year ones don't last even close to 10 years. Oddly enough I haven't had any problems with the CO/smoke wired detector in the hallway. I'll look for the smoke detector spray-thanks for the tip!

Any smoke detector experts here? I'm wondering if I can switch to a wired one with a 10 year backup battery. Are they really less likely to chirp every few months? In previous homes I only had to replace batteries once a year (and never had any chirping), but I've had two fail completely and the current one that chirps every couple of months. The other one I have is a CO/fire combo and I have no problems.

I thought I had a lot of wax until one time my doctor cleaned out my ear and it turned out to be skin cells-eczema. No wonder the solution made it worse.

Looks like the tiles/countertops for my kitchen and bathroom. Good grief.

Hope you're able to get it fixed. I am with you on the music part. I haven't played in years but I did used to be a musician.

Ugh, sorry about that. Been there, done that. Sudden hearing loss in one ear is an emergency-so you should go to the ER. (I just googled it to make sure). If you can't or don't want to go to the ER: Do you have an urgent care center near you? If it's ear wax, most of them will be able to clean it out on the spot. Around here we have quite a few of them, including in pharmacies. I hope this gets better soon.

I lost access to a FB account for a while because of a similar reason-only mine was because people have decided that my nickname can't possibly come from my first name. I literally have my real first name on my account in parentheses, but FB still doesn't recognize it. About after a year I decided to try one last time and got in. So FB doesn't really care about I.D. like it claims to.

Some of the New England states offer in state tuition to people from other NE states for majors that aren't offered in a student's home state-so it's worth looking into.

After all the work that's been done on her, maybe they consider her as being 'made in America?'

Good point.

..and a way to isolate cult members from those outside of the cult.

I don't know that I see TDS as a slur, but it's close to it. It reminds me of times when a woman is angry about something and is automatically dismissed with variations of 'it's probably her time of the month.'

I agree. Yet they also want more babies to be born-although I suspect there are those they'd sterilize without a second thought if they could. And people wonder why I choose to work with animals. 😉

I wonder how many of these people watch A Christmas Carol every year then turn around and vote to take aid away from the people who need help most? And then say that they should die to reduce the surplus population?

This. I'm old enough to remember when women were taught to not act too intelligent in front of men.

Also the face looks like it has either been massively altered or belongs to a wax figure.

Thanks for the tip.

I have to ask, since this show is on 3 million times a week. Who exactly is Bobby Flay and why do so many people want to beat him?

And then he turned down the heat in the White House and wore sweaters himself.

Let's not forget the Liberty Bell March. 🙂

The first image that came to my mind was the Rabbit of Seville.
