I get off the highway as often as possible, not only the "liberal" one but also others. There are crazy drivers out there who text, talk on their cell phones and otherwise do other than drive which, after all, is required on highways. Yes, "together again" is a bit harsh but one has to provide allowances for those who are not conservative. We are all in this together and whatever happens I think we shall sink or swim, together. Now, everyone out of the pool and into the bedroom. Best regards, RA1

Yes, fat based soaps no doubt provided a superior cleaning, necessary when one only bathed once a week or so. I have always wanted to meet and personally know an ascetic. But, fortunately, the opportunity has never presented itself. Best regards, RA1

One who is in "command" always wishes for things to "proceed", don't they? The outcome provides the or an "answer" but not necessarily the one for which one wishes. Best regards, RA1

I think it depends upon whether you are also smelly. We won't go into what you might "prefer". Best regards. RA1

I suppose that some folks "need" to think they are living life on the edge in order to "feel alive". My response to that is, when I feel the "need" to go fast, I don't drive a car at 90MPH which is illegal most everywhere, I get in an airplane and go 300MPH and it is perfectly legal.

Most athletes are sexy. With the "known" gay ones, we have some "other" ideas. Best regards, RA1

I have been at overload for years but, so far, my circuit breakers are hanging on. I agree it is a sad commentary on modern life that these kinds of things happen. I do not know if they HAVE to happen but they indeed do happen. Best regards, RA1

Schnozzectomy? That seems a little extreme. Perhaps just a punch in the nose to alter one's sense of smell? Most of us would miss having a nose, regardless of any of many possible deficiencies thereof. Best regards, RA1 I still use a Dial bar. A move up from hog fat and lye.

What an interesting piece of history. Thanks for sharing. Apparently this "company" started in 1935. I guess I am not as old as I thought I was. Best regards, RA1

From the ancillary information I think this poll is from ESPN although I did not notice it except on this site. Regardless of the overabundance of polls in general and their likely lack of meaning (except for the moment), it is good to see this subject discussed or at least brought up. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Best regards, RA1

Even the grandparents on Duck Dynasty are worried about "digital games and such" and they have so much more to worry about. Best regards, RA1

I have always appreciated prizes and, so far, have been very satisfied with those enclosed in Cracker Jack's. Best regards, RA1

Which is the girl? Best regards, RA1

You are so full of IT but I love it regardless. Your friend. Best regards, RA1

Or anywhere else. Best regards. RA1

Who or what is Honey Boo Boo? Best regards, RA1

Hollyweird had to glamorize or perhaps alienize them. Best regards, RA1

You may be pushing 70 but you aren't pushing daisies. Best regards, RA1

As you no doubt know, fasting is part of more than one religion. I am fairly sure that within limits one will benefit from such a diet as the one you describe. I know I felt better after fasting and losing weight. Let us know what you think after you try it for a while. Best regards, RA1 Too late for me to retain cognitive brain function or to prevent aging.

They are going to be dangerous in the hands of "authorized" hands. Best regards, RA1

I was enjoying Lee before I knew what "gay" was but I knew he was different. Best regards, RA1

I have not tried this particular diet but many years ago did something similar. This diet seems a little bit better than what I tried before. What I did was fast for 2 weeks and then eat on the week-end and then fast for 1 week and eat on the week-end. For a person such as me, not eating I easier than eating a little. That is also how I quit smoking. Just no more. However, that is not "practical" with eating. With a two week fast to start, I indeed lost 20 pounds or so and continued to lose 5-10 pounds per week thereafter, BUT, there is a mental limit to what one can do with such as semi-extreme diet. Good for losing 40 or so pounds but then reality sets in. One problem with any extreme diet is that if NO calories are taken in, after a while the body thinks you are lost on a desert isle and starts to shut down to conserve energy. That limits one's weight loss. Therefore a small amount of calories is important to "fool" your body into thinking you are in NYC and visiting famous eating establishments but just ignoring the high calorie items. The bottom line is, one must eat a small amount of calories every day in order to continue to lose weight. How you restrict them on a weekly basis is how one loses weight. Best regards, RA1
