| If you want to work at Kroger’s, go for it. Nothing wrong with that. Like I said, I’m not a go-getter type. My concern is when people make concessions, and just give up. Thing is though others set the rules and standards, guard all the doors, have all the keys and make the decisions. In addition, I... |

| I agree that Australia should have had the b...s to vote no, though given the history of Oz sucking up to the USA, it's not surprising, more surprising is that Canada also abstained. Why is it surprising? Those idiots are our next door neighbours. And a Super Power nation. And we're dependent on th... |

| The only American dollars we want is tax paid to on the huge profits companies like Apple make in New Zealand and pay no tax on at all. How convenient for them.. Do they get away with it in Australia too? They used to dodge tax in Australia but when the Tax office clamped down on them this is what ... |

| It's not about being "great" as a relative comparison to Others & general statistics. It's about being great relative to one's own potential. And, what exactly is one's potential? How is this determined exactly and by what objective criteria are we going by? Just as in business, a goa... |

| I've heard Vancouver has a pretty large Asian population. I honestly have no idea what property goes for here. I think part of why it may be lower than Vancouver is that there aren't any jobs here. Yep, we certainly do! We have had a large Asian population since the inception of Canada, really, or ... |

| Tai chi chuan is amazing for the frail and clumsy, in my opinion. I've heard nice things about Washington, and always wanted to go. Just never managed to get there yet. Land here is pretty expensive, and I think it's going up right now. Part of it's the pot, part of it is the general lack of space.... |

Got to the South edge of Portland once but turned around and got sucked back into the norhum vortex. I really just kind of crash landed here ten years ago and somehow made ... |

| Sooo, when does the war start? Is there like a waiting period after a declaration of war before shots are allowed to be fired? Seems like an awful long time of peace since Trump made his remarks about Jerusalem if he did in fact declare war on 1.5B people. |

| Last New Year's Eve, I wanted to go to jail so I stripped naked in the street and threw a boulder through a bank's window. Of course, I was arrested and thrown in jail for three days, but they didn't press federal charges because they realized I was having a psychotic break. I also visited a few ho... |

Wreck Beach is the most popular nude beach here - a busy day sees over 5,000 people on the main beach. On REALLY busy days on... |

| Well at first she said he (her son) might like to go get dinner with us. Then she turned around and said she never introduces her boyfriends to him until they're "serious" because he gets really torn up whenever she breaks up. So if she can't find a babysitter (and it's not looking good) ... |
