Societies without God: immoral hell or egalitarian health? pt. 2

Not only were the precious items quite breathtaking, but the information which accompanied the display was fascinating. There was some history on King Tut, including probable…
Why do women say “let’s just be friends”? (II of VI)

So what does it really mean when someone says, “let’s just be friends”? I can’t speak for all women, but I can speculate based on discussions I’ve had, and on my thoughts in similar situations: To politely create or keep distance To defuse situations where the person feels pressured or scared Because that’s what they’ve…
LOL! and they were both great fun, Lou! :)
She did it, too! (Both the 50 new things *and* the happyColliedance!)
Thank you so much, Bob & Rick! Why save any for next year, though, when they’re such a delightful renewable resource? Also: thank goodness we didn’t have to eat the minstrels! :)
And there was much rejoicing!!!!
Congrats!
