I don't know about the ethics, but I'm 39 and people in their 20's look like babies to me. I'll see them on a college campus and I'm thinking "hey there kiddo, did you get separated from your parental figure?" So if you look at them and think that, it may not work out?

It got better.
Well, meaning, there are good metal bands out there right now. I can't say it's better overall. ;)

I grew up hearing this story: My older brother was 4 in 1983. My mother believed that only good parents got their kid(s) the "must-have" toy of the year. So there were a lot of tears that Christmas morning when my not-at-all-interested-in-dolls brother opened that present.

It would take every fiber of my being to not say "So? Then punish the attack!"

I'll take it if it means all the new houses being built aren't just one of the same three recycled layouts.

There's another thing a lot of those professions have in common that not enough people are pointing out: they're mandatory reporters.

Well, they're doing silly human nonsense when they're supposed to be petting her and giving her chicken!

I had this happen on Monday. Turns out it was dog urine. Things... have not been good since. I hope your pot roast smell is different!
