You can toggle word wrap on or off, and if you want you can just highlight a block of text and hit the speech button and it will read it to ...

Hell, I last measured at 260, but my medical plan won't pay for anything unless I'm under 200, which is flatly absurd. And they wonder why I have so much trouble controlling my weight. You'd think they'd consider it a bargain, compared to the effects of obesity, but it's just the typical penny-wise ...

:) H-ell-oo-o! Is there anybody there, testing testing, Mary had a little lamb, her father shot the shepherd- testing , over and out.

I thought it went more like this:

Mary Had a little sheep

and with the sheep she went to sleep.

The sheep turned out to be a ram.

Mary had a ...

But every now and then I get this URGE to write a godawful shaggy dog story capped by an atrocious pun. Where else could I publish it besides here and in alt.callahans?

🤮



And Andrew, I must say, I would miss them terribly. There's nothing I like better than a pun that's simultaneously ...

Being on dial-up is almost worse than having no Internet access at all. At least, if one has no access, there are other things he can do-limited though they may be for some of us Internet junkies-but, on dial-up, my blood pressure would be going through the roof as I screamed at the monitor while ...

Yahoo apparently axed it without warning, for reasons only Yahoo knows. Kim says she's going to start it back up in the near future at misstressgia.net.

I think that depends on where in Germany and where in Austria. Driving from Essen to Vienna is kind of like driving from New York to Chicago. Not exactly an easy drive. Still, it's not exactly out of the question, either.

Good to see you back, Limpone! We missed you! I hope you've been well these past months.

Good one, Salami, but do you have a bullet-proof vest?

You'll probably need it....

Only because society has been raised to believe that only men can be sexual aggressors.

You're right. Just as some female rape victims have reported experiencing orgasm despite beig terrified and/or repulsed, so some males experience involuntary erection when being sexually attacked. Of course ...

Let me start by saying that I think anyone who sexually exploits children is deserving of any punishment he or she may receive. Such people are simply despicable, the lowest form of pond scum.

That said, in Townshend's case, I smell the faint odor of rat. If Townshend is to be believed at all, he ...

With all due respect, A-1, that was too much. Fine if we disagree with someone; we can argue our case. But please let's not try to just shut him up with shaming tactics and name-calling. None of us are in a position to wield accusations regarding anyone's alleged insecurities or paranoia, because we ...

Thank you, Andrew. Very informative.

C'mon, A-1, stop holding back. Let us know what you really think....

And THAT is the bottom line.

Is there any way to import the previous set of personal ads into the new setup? Or failing that, is it still possible to access it somehow. (there are a couple of email addresses I'd like to write down before they're lost forever)

It seems to me that one of the more unfortunate features of this ...

Humph. So after scoring a 10 on their little quiz, it tells me to see a urologist. Only problem is, I've already tried two of them, and neither one will even consider HRT for me. Too afraid of causing prostate cancer, they say.

As an aside, I have a theory on prostate cancer, at least the slower ...

In "normal" society, lack of libido (sexual desire) seems to be seen as a bad thing.

Why?

I could understand how lack of sexual function would be seen as a problem, when one wants to have sex.

But how is lack of desire a problem? Do people want to want to have sex?



For one thing, it can be ...

Socialism, which is actually a philosophy that suggests that those who have, in comparative terms, a lot should share a bit of it with those who do not, has served western Europe quite well.



Actually, it hasn't worked all that well. Yes, it works for a while, but as the British found out in ...

Try a vice.

You mean like smoking or drinking?

Now that's interesting -- the index page shows there's an attachment to your message, but when I read the message, I can't find the attachment.

What am I doing wrong??

Sounds more like Peyote to me....

Back around late summer or early fall, someone mentioned the impending release of a new, "super bandage". It was supposedly being designed for the military, and was alleged to be able to rapidly stop even arterial bleeding. Since then, I have heard nothing more about it. Does anyone know any more ...

OK, Jesus, you're right -- it's better to discuss this in its own thread. It also gives us a chance to get into some more detail.

Here's my take on the "solutions" you listed:

1. Retribution: It's great for the victims and/or their families, as they get a sense of vindication out of it, but does ...
