Just wait! I come from a long list of family members who are alcoholics and I personally do NOT believe it is a disease. It is an addiction just like cigareette smoking,both have withdrawals and cravings. There are people out there who said that the disease componment is a bunch of hooey but there is a lot of money to be made off of people since they have this so called disease and can’t help themselves.
It’s luck that the VW did not become a weather balloon.
Yeah, it’s been bantered around in the Texas legislature.
I drive quite a lot during the day. I would welcome some of that *common sense*.
I say they just cut to the chase.
Anyone texting while driving is too stupid to have a license or to operate a motor vehicle. Ban them from the road.
;-)
If I thought about it, a name might come to me.
I think that a hyphenated name is just indecisive. it says "I want all of the benefits that my husband's name confers, without actually committing to having it."
'Tis why I told Mrs. WBill when we got married...."Take my name, if you'd like. Keep yours, if you'd like. But don't hyphenate." She didn't hyphenate. :-)
Good.
]>OK
She probably aced the "self-esteem" tests back in grade school...
Good?
“I’ve never heard of anyone who was admirable, or even decent, who had one of those hyphenated names. They all seem to be mean, angry, selfish, and liberal. But I’m being redundant.”
Of course, since it shows that they have some pyschotic need to preserve their “identity” from that over-aggressive bastard that rapes them every few days (husband, per feminist idiology).
It’s even worse for guys, like singer John Cougar who went back to his maiden name (Mellon camp).
But in the few cases where the person’s maiden name is important because they are well-known, I don’t have a problem with it.
