one of the neat things about submitting to the fancier lit mags is that by the time they send you a rejection all the cells in your body have been replaced with newer cells, they're not rejecting you but as past version of yourself, how quaint

I'd eat that sick or healthy.

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

I told you they’d come after Veterans’ benefits. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

Why are there Pop Tarts, but no Mom Tarts.
It's the damn pastryarchy.

Lost a dental crown while eating Milk Duds. Hadn't eaten them in years. Probably will never eat them again. A sad day.

Harold Bell Wright's The Shepherd of the Hills is great. The Winning of Barbara Worth was his most popular book. He had at least 5 best selling novels in the early 20th Century.

Arrowsmith is my favorite Sinclair Lewis novel, but they are all striking. He got death threats from writing Elmer Gantry.

I don't know your situation, and I'm not asking. People can be traumatized listening to other people's stories. If you don't have a similar trauma, you open yourself up to even more. Much better to trust your therapist on this.

The actual quote from 1 Timothy 6:10 is "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil."

So if you listen to classical music is your age over 200? Asking for me.

Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us
