Happy wife, happy life. Or as my father told me, even when they are wrong, you look them in the eye, smile and say "yes dear" then just walk away. Problem is, Mrs Rhino has never been wrong!!

Right-wing Republicans tend to love America like a child loves its mommy, where everything Mommy does is okay. But adult love means you're not in denial. It should be noted that there is now no intelligentsia that is not in some sense “Left”. Perhaps the last right-wing intellectual was TE Lawrence. TE Lawrence (aka ‘Lawrence of Arabia’) died in 1935 ------------- 6/6/26 |

Mmm, I had a “friend” who was doing it tough. 3 kids, casual job and a meth problem for both of them. But somehow we liked him. He hit a ‘roo and wrote off his car. I was about to sell Mrs Freefall’s old Camry. I “sold” it to him and even paid for the RWC and transfer fees. Today, 10 years later, he still owes me $2,050 and has left town.

HG, in the other thread you posted this quote I’ve commented that the “stupid” person confuses “average” with “median”. And I’m not referring to you.
