You could buy your cats an empty wine-box each. The little hole at the bottom is just the right size for a hidden claw to lash out. Of course you'd have to drink the wines before installing each cat.

Is this a routine procedure in the general population? I thought only religious nuts mutilated their children? What a strange country.

Excellent! Nice to see her back writing in the IT. The Presidential "race" hasn't interested me much so far, especially after that muddled debate/interview/panel thingy on Virgin.

Ironically, the USA was one of the first countries to use roundabouts. William Phelps Eno was responsible for the circular junction built in Columbus Circle, New York City in 1903.
But they probably gave it up as it conflicted with the Third Amendment - the right to drive straight over people.

Sauteed Chicken in Mustard-Cream Sauce This classic French combination of ingredients also makes an excellent sauce for fish, such as seared salmon and trout.

My daughter just texted to ask for this recipe & I was thinking the other day I need to make it this week. It is so easy & really delicious. I always double the amount of sauce because I love sauces πŸ˜‚

So MetroLink is finally going to happen? Again.
The most important condition that should be put on it is to not allow BAM within an ass's roar of it.

Saki is brilliant. Sort of PG Woodhouse - Jeeves and Wooster stories. Turn of the last century, country house, and horses everywhere. "I'm living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart" is another. share.google/JJv3uO4YMdml...

As an Engineer, I would argue that "sewerage system" i.e. a system of sewerage components is technically more correct, though "sewage system" i.e. a system for handling sewage would be acceptable in a casual conversation.

I would disagree with you. I contend that are many fucks involved, so it would really be "for fucks' sake"
