Comment Re:I live in the southwest US (Score 1) 487

Well the houses are built much closer together, so a fire in wooden housing will (and has often enough in the past) spread to the entire neighborhood.

I live in an early 1800's urban, wooden home. Wooden beams, wooden floors, wooden siding, wooden lathe to hold the plaster. We have more fire houses than any other area I have ever seen. When these go up in flames, they do so in a dramatic fashion. I suspect that my 10"-12" ceiling joists would burn quite a while...

While I am tall for a female, so, this is not my problem, but MANY females cannot reach the bottom of a chest freezer. Many books of tips include little things about putting upside-down milk crates in the bottom of the freezer, so that nothing gets out of reach. Doh! Why did you buy that size freezer, then block off 1/2 of it? People are more likely to lose things in the chest freezer than the upright. Things are more likely to get rotated. Design the product for the end user. Other than men who hunt, and prepare their own catch for freezing, I don't think that I know of many couples in which the man uses the freezer more than the woman.

I have an upright, partially, because it has shelves. I do bulk cooking, and I freeze things laying flat on cookie sheets, and then deal with them again once they are frozen hard. In a chest freezer, there are no shelves. It's one big garbage bin.

This is because American women have not tried for equal rights, but superior rights. They want the perks without the responsibilities.

Think about the way that men get screwed legally with regretted sex, that the next morning gets reclassified as rape. A woman wakes up from her drunken stupor, and looks over, and thinks, "I did WHO!??!?!" All that she has to say is, "He bought me drinks. I was not in control of myself!" Even if he drank 5 to every 1 of hers, his impairment doesn't count, and he is accountable for his actions, whereas she, is not. (This does NOT include serious drugs like animal Rx's like the paralytic drugs slipped into a drink, I am talking normal alcohol with a presumed known content.) Calling regretted sex is an affront to women who actually ARE raped, and, obviously, to the men who are abused by the courts on these issues.

Do NOT go these places to meet women if you are not really interested in going to these places! Women who don't want drunks will make the classic mistake of going to bars to meet men, then get bent when the man wants to go to the bar, and she gets accused of trying to change him. If you go to a community art center, just to pick up chicks, it WILL bite you in the bum! This is merely the male version of the same old story.

...I wonder if 40s are better or worse? I guess eventually there is an age where frantic larvae fever stops being an issue....

40-something singles are scarier than 30-something singles....

Most of them are single for a reason. Either no one was interested or everyone threw them back. Neither is fun to deal with.
