eat local honey once a day.

I knew a girl who did hostess work. She cried before she went to work, she cried when she came home. She hated it - and the men that came to the bar. She did it for the money, then married a lovely Aussie man who took her away from all of that. Now she's happy.

Simple answer - stick to Apple.

Every year I wonder how, after seven or eight decades of life in Japan, people do not take heed from the annual death toll and chop up their motchi before eating.

I nearly choked on New Year motchi when I was in my thirties, I chop it now, even though I still have all my own teeth.

On a 1988 tour of Finland, Lemmy was asked by one journalist why he had kept going for so long.

"We're still here," he replied, "because we should have died a long time ago but we didn't."

@trinklets2

I sympathise with you completely as I am in a similar situation. It is not always possible/practival to find an immediate solution.

Very selfish & cowardly of the husband to make another be the cause of his death.

Refering to children as 'kids'.

They are not goats.

J-hubby puts a pat of butter on steak when he cooks/serves it - it's lovely, so I think this is a good idea - I'd try it.

How anyone can diss Cleo - the most intelligent and eloquent poster on this site - is beyond me. You will never win!!

It seems to me that the woman is fighting the current law, not her ex-husband who may, we do not know, agree with her. All other arguments aside, they were after all separated for a while before the divorce.

"The wise-cracking Pepper, according to its makers, can read people’s emotions."

Well, it's already streets ahead of many J-men, including the one I married!

Shilo, I do hope you are being sarcastic. If not, they'll never know the joy of running with scissors!

Once again Cleo: the only poster to show common sense!!

Thank you Cleo!

Good point Educator60.

When I bought my bike 4 years ago I took training and was so glad I did - I reckon I'm a much better rider now, in my 50s, than I was when younger. Besides which I now have a sense of my own mortality - something I definitely didn't have years ago!

I'm 51 and learning how to do wheelies - so I can impress the local youth posse - cos they have no idea a 51yo is under that bandana mask!! And, it's jolly good fun!

Heavens to Betsy, no-one would last long in Australia trying to reign in the profanities!

"....unsavory video". Well that's subjective.

I apologise, I have not read previous posts/commments, so sorry if I repeat anyone:

Racial maybe, imperial maybe, but the use of 'ist'? Complainers, check your dictionary please!

I'd like to hazard a guess that most of those declining to pay also drop the most litter. Sweeping assumption, but there you go!

@crazyjoe

Just wanted to post your comment one more time because I reckon you hit the nail on the head there!

"People with beards who put on dresses don't have gender issues. They've resolved them. It's the ones who are scared of man in a dress and a beard who have gender issues."

Everyone is different and it depends how fit and healthy the mother is.

My friend - a dancer in her late thirties - had a short labour, gave birth after an hour in the hospital and was home a few hours later, having done some shopping in the way home.

A lot to be said for well -toned muscles.

Pretty obvious that he waited until he'd sobered up before going to the police.

@cracaphat and @Wc626

I carry a UV protected parasol to keep me in the shade and cooler. It is preferable to wearing a hat on hot days and in the summer in Japan I couldn't walk far without it, it's just too hot.

"Imagine a group of teenagers filing into the gym assembly without making a sound -- I can't but this is what happened in a school where my friend was going to give a guest lecture. I was ready to tell everyone to get out (including the teachers) and come into the gym naturally, but my friend told them in the lecture instead."

I really don't get what you are trying to say, please expand.

Alena Ogami Vesela and Strangerland are about the only people talking sense in this story.

Stop judging so harshly. People do what they think best at the time - it is only your opinion as to whether that is the right descision or not.

And, there are no such thing as rights.

So many assumptions based on the modern assumption that most babies survive natural birth. She was alone, no doubt very scared, very afraid that a judgemantal society would find out, and I am sure very distressed at losing her baby. A scenario that has been played out since the begining of time, no need to be so quick to vilify.

PLease [sur] macartenay, do us all a favour and retire. A man so pumped up with his own self importance is a mere shadow of what he briefly achieved 50 years ago. At least Ringo Starr had the right idea - the only ex-B to retain any semblance of dignity.

Following all the "trans" news lately I read the headline as "Multiple-gender dance extravaganza" and thought "how amazing, wish I was still in Osaka".

Now I realise my mistake, however amazing the show can be, it will never meet my expectations now!

I would rather smell a freshly lit cigarette than the over-powering chemical stench of perfume, aftershave, laundry detergents and fabric conditioners.

I cannot sit in my garden in the summertime without being choked by the stench of my neighbours chemical-soaked laundry on the line. I cannot walk down a city street without being choked by chemical perfumes and aftershaves.

My husband's natural tobacco self-rolled cigarette smells sweeter than all of the above.

Since this first 'broke' I wondered where is the story. Really, no-one is interested.
