Not so much infrastructure I suspect. It's just leaving the house
to go out anywhere. In northern areas, it often stays cold
day-to-day once it gets cold. You learn to dress for it and you
get used to it. No big deal when I lived in New England.
 
In moderate areas, Virginia Beach here for example, we often have
very cold weather one week then almost summer-like weather the
following week. Back and forth all winter. You can't get used to
a steady temperature so the occasional colder weather just seems
horrible.

Because dsi1 thought that central hot water heat in Sweden is some
kind of marvel. I pointed out that it's probably paid for through
taxation.

Of course. But I'm not wrong here.

So are you a veteran, Leonard? You were prime age for Vietnam
draft.
I graduated in 1971. Still had the draft going for me but it was
the end and I got a large lottery number (330)...I never got
called. Turns out, I don't think they drafted anyone in my year.
 
I also watched the very first Beatles USA appearance on the Ed
Sullivan show. I liked what I heard but with all the teenage
girls in the audience screaming, you could barely hear the music.

Same here. It's one of my favourite vegetables.

Sure. I took a couple of medium white potatoes, peeled them, boiled
them until nearly done, cut them into three eights inch cubes and fried
them at medium in a little oil. While they were browning, I cut up a
couple of three eights inch thick slices of already cooked corned beef
and diced that into three eights inch cubes and added it to the
potatoes. I fried a egg over easy. Then I dumped the hash onto a plate
and laid the egg on top.
It's not really a recipe. Everybody does it different. Many add onions.
Many dice smaller. Many add other stuff. We all make a hash of it :)

I'd put a fence around Alabama and check back in 200 years. Let them

I had their famous burger and fries, the bun was ghastly - barely even
tasted like bread. The meat, pretty indistinguishable.
 
In general, the standards of food in restaurants, cafes etc has
greatly improved in 30 years, but not it would seem McDogs.

Even the best birth control methods are not 100% effective. The Pill is
99% effective. Apparently 1% of women using the Pill properly will get
pregnant within a year of using it. The only method that CDC rates as
100% effective is abstinence, but they point out that it difficult to
stick to.

I am not pro abortion. It is a serious medical procedure that involves
some degree of risk. I sure as hell would not want to have to have one.
Nor would I want to be in the situation of having to consider having
one. I prefer to leave it as a viable option for women who find
themselves in need of one. I would normally not judge a woman harshly
for having an abortion. The one exception to that in my life was the my
late friend's ex who bragged about having had 5 abortions. That, IMO is
using abortion as birth control.

They are the same people who will thing of single mothers as whores and
their children as bastards.

Sadly, there are enough bible thumpers that it could also be their
salvation. Most of us thought that the nail in the Republican party was
accepting Trump as their candidate for president. Despite him having
ending up even worse than we had expected, he still has massive support.

I have to admit to some frustration on this issue. I have seen a lot of
stuff on FB lately that mirrors comments I have heard over the years and
puts all the blame on the pro life movement on men. That is so much in
contrast with my experiences. The guys I hang out with are not opposed
to abortion. I do know some who are opposed to abortion, but they are
all fundamentalist Christians, the type of people I avoid. I do know a
number of women who are very much pro life and strongly oppose abortion.
 
For a long time I have viewed the pro life movement as being like
fishermen. The unborn are like the undersized fish. The small fish have
be released so you can catch them and kill them when they are bigger.
They are claim the need to protect the unborn because they believe in
the sanctity of life, but they don't give a shit about the children born
into poverty. I suspect that they think sex is dirty and sinful and
that women should be punished for having sex. If they dare to submit to
the passions of the loin they should be punished by having to raise the
child, regardless of their ability to do so.
 
Only once have I had an issue with abortion. My childhood friend was
living with and had a child with a woman who turned out to be a real
nutcase. She was outspokenly pro choice and bragged to me about having
had 5 abortions. As much as I believe in a woman's reproductive rights
and the importance of access to safe abortions, having 5 abortion is
just simply irresponsible. Abortion should be a viable option for an
unfortunate situation, but not a form of birth control.

Yep. I really don't care much for McD's burgers. I had a few and I now I
know what to expect, which is why I rarely go there. By rarely, I mean
about once every three years. People also know what to expect from
their fries. Some people seem to like them. I don't, and I think they
are way over priced for the few fries you get.

Their is no disputing that they company makes money. FWIW, my town has
one of the least busy McDs stores I have ever seen. We occasionally go
to a restaurant across the street from it and they appear to do so
little business that I wonder how they can stay open. In other
locations they are gold mines for the franchise.

If these men are going to vote to make women carry every foetus then
they should be concerned with killing many many more than women.
 
No to the latter, they would never become human beings.

You do know that my nickname is "The Pea Princess", right!? True story. I
woke up complaining of a back ache as a child. My dad laughed and told me to
go look under my bed. There was a can of peas under there. He laughed even
harder when I brought him the can.
 
Yep. I own it. That is me to a tee. Or a pea. :):):)

So having sex is mass murder. On a good day, only one get the job done,
the others killed off. All sex should be outlawed. Being a good and
honorable man, I've never had sex. I could not handle the guilt.

Ummm . . . where did that come from? I didn't mention anything about
sexual harassment, nor rape.
 
Would you be less offended if I had mentioned former talk show host Alec
Baldwin, instead of Alyssa Milano?

Pretty much the same here. If he cashed out, the tax man gets a big
bite and if he loves longer than expected, it can be in a poverty
situation.
 
When we bought this house we closed before the old house closed. I had
to move some money around to do it. You have to be careful of the tax
man can get a big chunk of it.

I'd probably ditch the wife* rather than give up onions. ;)

Actually, Hell yeah, I would do that.

Yeah, I know.... who ever has leftover steak?
Well,I did. It was a delicious and perfectly cooked medium rare NY Strip
steak, but it was about twice as much as I could handle. I split the
rest of it with my wife for breakfast this morning. I beat up some eggs
with a little water,salt and pepper and a good splash of Trinidadian hot
sauce. I cut the steak into thin slices, melted some butter in a hot
pan, warmed up the slices in the butter and then added the eggs and
stirred them around, taking them off while they were still nice and
shiny. It turned out to be an excellent idea. They were delicious.
