Re: Offensive?!?!

One wonders how this mother can even function at all in this reveal-everything world. Her only hope is that one of the big pharmaceutical companies will invent a medication to stifle her daughter's...

My mother was a member of Kaiser and they seemed to cater completely to her hypochondria. She went to at least 2-3 doctors every week, always convinced she had a serious ailment. When one doctor told...

Re: What is it about the yanks and these damn school movies?!

Re: What is it about the yanks and these damn school movies?!

Thought I'd comment here since I am a Yank--and a teacher (in a detention school no less). The reason Americans love these movies is that the school systems in the US have been in the toilet for...

Re: Children's names

Back in the 60s, I knew a lady who named her daughter "Goitella." She said it was some kind of middle European name. Also, I had a friend who named her daughter Donabel. Fortunately, she gave the...

Re: Stopped for shoplifting (stealing, not trying to lift the shop up ;))

What an awful story! I think you need to know that the employees were formally reprimanded and you need a written apology from at least the manager. So much for "Customer Service."

Re: Keeping up the stereotype

In cases like this, where a dentist or doctor I don't know well advises extreme measures, I always go for a 2nd and even a 3rd opinion. I had the problem of grinding my teeth at night. My dentist...

Re: Brits and religion

I suspect that, at the present time, Bible thumping and intense Protestant religiosity has reached a new level of intensity in the USA. I was not raised with any religion and in my adult...

Re: U.S Television Adverts
