Re: When the husband cheats it's the wife's fault
of course, VR, but my comment was directed at that particular self-proclaimed and self-professed "Christian"....... No "of course" about it, actually. Christians live and breathe in the patriarchy just like everyone else, and have helped sustain it more than most. And anyone who... |

Re: Have you noticed any inappropriate smartphone use?
I see college students all the time, walking around campus, only looking at their smartphones - they even cross the street this way, completely oblivious to the world around them.... Why aren't they embarrassed? Do they think they're cool? ARE they cool? Am I uncool? I don't think it has anything t... |

If you think that's cool, then I bet you'll like this too. And somewhere in there are links to audio files of various pronunciations.

Re: Poll: Which frames look best for new glasses?
One is my least favorite, while I really like #3, and your current pair best. As others have noted, lighter frames. My suggestion based on what I've noticed about the frames that look good on me - and it's borne out by the fact that so many people like your current frames, is to get frames that don'... |

Re: Are People Too Touchy-Feely These Days?
I am bothered by many things, very bothered by some of them, but there are other things that I never notice. When I open threads about people hating things I never notice I am often left wondering why I don't even have a position of the matter. Am I simply an accepting person? Flexible? I think I a... |

Re: How would you rate your singing voice?
I knew ksinger could sing, so I didn't find it at all strange that she rated herself a 9. What I did find interesting (especially in light of the thread on intelligence) is that a lot of people who had sung in church choirs and were obviously fairly accomplished singers rated themselves only 4's an... |

Re: How smart do you think you are?
Like amc80 and ksinger, I took the Mensa test...eons ago. I was about 12 years old and, at that age, finding out my IQ was important to me. I was admitted. I guess I would say I feel sure I am in the top 10% of the world (Mensa would say the top 2%). I have been told that when one's IQ gets that hi... |

Re: How smart do you think you are?
Too loaded to answer, really. I'm definitely a bit smarter than average, but their are billions of people on the planet. I used to think that stuff mattered when I was young - I was thrilled to be top or near top; according to Mensa, I should be in Mensa. Woot. (No, I did NOT join Mensa. Kinda lame... |

Re: How smart do you think you are?

Re: How would you rate your singing voice?
One thing I learned when taking voice lessons in college... When we speak or sing the sound does not get to our ears via our outer ear, as it does with every other sound we hear. It mostly travels from the back of our throat to middle ear via the Eustation Tube. The outer ear does not get a chance ... |

Re: Is it ok to buy used bedroom furniture set?
All of the furniture I own is either antiques and vintage pieces that I bought, or family pieces that were willed to me or that I bought from relatives' estates. I would not hit a dog in the butt with any of that pasteboard import furniture. I feel confident that bedbugs, if there are any, can be o... |

Lucky you! I remember my dentist saying besides maintenance the most important thing you can do to have healthy gums and teeth is to choose your parents carefully.

Re: American Dentistry
Well, I'm something of an anomaly then. I haven't had a cavity since I was a kid. From 26 to 40 I didn't go to the dentist at all. When I did finally go, no cavities, and no gum disease. At age 47 I finally lost one of the 3 baby teeth I still have/had. (I held my dentist's office record for number ... |
