My dad's a Master Bee Keeper. He says with all the cell phones and the equipment used to transmit the calls that it's interfering with the bees' sense of direction. They can't find their way back to their hives and so they end up dying. It's really tragic how all the microwaves in the air are messing with the bees. My dad teaches people how to become beekeepers and every year he loses more and more hives to this problem. That and there is a mite that kills bees that seems highly resistant to most efforts to eradicate them. You have to be very careful not to contaminate the honey if you use any kind of mite killing products.

I have friends who own bars. They all say the same thing. If they didn't have a "ladies night" they wouldn't be able to stay in business. Too many men in the bars and not enough women. Ladies' night gives the women a reason to go to the bars and it gives the guys chances to hit on the women. It's a win/win situation if you know how to play the game.

My husband used to tell me horror stories of the mens restrooms at GM. He said they were incredibly filthy, feces smeared on the walls and floor, urine everywhere, etc. Most womens restrooms I have been in are rarely dirty. Sure, someone might not bother to flush or they've flushed a pad down and plugged it but nothing compares with his stories.
But my biggest issue with same sex Multiple toilets in restrooms (I am not talking about a unisex, one toilet restroom) would be safety. I would not feel safe using a stall with men in the restroom at the same time.
And one last thing: Because most women (there may be some, I don't know) do not use urinals to pee into, I think there should be at least a 3 to 1 ratio of toilets favoring women. There are never enough toilets at public places for women to use and we have to sit down whereas men can stand up and use a communal urinal.

Sir, your picnic table dilemma could be solved by making the portions of the table that would cover the diners' laps be hidden inside the center portion which is between the seats. The lap portions would retract into the middle/center (base) of the table when not in use. It would be compact until ready for use. A simple release button would bring out the lap portions of the table. Fully extended the lap portion would lock into place for dining and no one would need to get out of the car for set up or breakdown.
Cheers!

I was a feeder at a nature center and we had a few ferrets there. The best thing about the job was giving the ferrets an egg and then watching them try to break it open. They got duck eggs (donated by a lady who raised ducks) which are a bit larger than hen's eggs so they couldn't crack them open with their jaws. They would try to bite them and they would roll them around and around until the egg would bash against the side of their cage. Then they would lie down and feast on the raw egg. They liked eggs more than anything else we could give them.

*Tom123* While your suggestion is a reasonable one it would not stop the problem. You'd just get bigger trucks/taller trucks trying to go under the bridge. This bridge is for a train to pass over the car traffic. To replace or raise that bridge would be very expensive. Also, part of the reason for the height limit is to discourage very heavy trucks from using the road. The extra weight bearing trucks would severely damage the roadbed.

I was there when it was dry. Got a picture of me standing in front of it. They found an old Indian canoe at the bottom of the dry bed. Pretty awesome. Higher and deeper than I thought it would have been and tons of crushed rock and broken boulders. Would definitely hurt if you went over the falls in a barrel and you hit an outcropping of stone...

How would the cat have died? Ever read about stupid people leaving their pets in cars and they roast to death? They had air to breathe, BTW. That kitten could easily have died from heat stroke had the temperature outside been a bit higher. Plastic garbage bins and metal ones can generate a lot of inside heat from the sun shining on them.
The cat also could have died had it been dumped into a trash compacter truck.
But I don't need to go on with examples. Suffice it to say that the woman was wrong to do what she did and there are enough angry "cat people" out there who now know where she lives. She's even asked for police protection! hah! Karma at it's finest!!

Ummm, that photo of R. Crowe looks more like Meatloaf's character than Tim Curry's character. I don't recall Dr. Frank-N-Furter having stitches and being half dead.

I think you are missing something here. They have toilets on the market now that do not need water to run. No plumbing is required. They are mostly made for cabins and places where water is scarce. These toilets turn whatever you put into the device to ash. "From asses to ashes." Nice motto, eh? Ideally, you could place one of these toilets in any room of the house and all you would need to make it work would be an electrical socket.

I moved to Louisiana 2 yrs ago. My friend's a contractor and builds homes and condos, etc. He says no one (the locals) down here wants to work. The folks I have met all say the same thing. There are lots of jobs to be had down here but the locals don't want to work. That's why people from other states come down here. I think the weather plays a big part with the issue. When the heat index is 110 degrees 6 months out of the year and the humidity is 90% then it's a real challenge to be out in that heat. I don't know how people survived down here before air conditioners were invented

Why hasn't anyone mentioned the Twilight Zone episode about a town trapped by an unknown force field that won't allow them to leave the city? A giant kid had placed a drinking glass over the town trapping them like ants on an ant hill and the sun was making it very hot for them. The giant kid got called away by her parents and took the glass with her and the town was again free. Odd that no one seems to recall that story.

A 19th century dildo. The words "Upon penalty of death" was a warning not to sit down while using it.

Would love a set of arrogant bastard glasses.

I was a fan of his for years and then I didn't see his paintings anymore. I thought he had died years ago. Does anyone know why he stopped painting or am I mistaken and just somehow missed his newer artwork?
So sorry to hear of his passing. My favorite painting of his was "SeaWitch". He truly had an incredible eye for detail. Although I usually had a good laugh over the non-existent clothing the women in his painting wore. In real life those bits of clothing would not have stayed on any body as soon as they moved in any direction.

Talk about small places to stay- I went to Scotland and stayed at a number of B&Bs (bed and breakfast). They are usually in someone's home. My husband and I stayed in someone's attic room with a bathroom that had a 3 foot long and 18 inch wide bath tub. Another B&B had a shower so small that it was impossible to fit into and heaven forbid if you dropped the soap!
