Back to pulling staples out of the floorboard.
Just don't sacrifice your core self ... and don't give off the desperation odor. :p

That was weird. A new thread appeared and I viewed it but there were no posts. Thinking that somehow a ghost post had appeared in a thread whose only post was the op, I posted a "gp". My post was the only one. So, I deleted the post. When I deleted my post, the only one, an OP showed up that should have been there from the beginning. But, if you look at the OT page, it states that I am the author of the thread now. WTF?

It happens sometimes, if the OP is editing it and someone posts before he is done.

Woody, that could be on your card.
"Looking for the right woman to redesign me." And at home add, "Apply within."
And listen to Urizen. Desperation is a stank in the nostrils of the womenfolk.
After a little nap to recover from the workday, made a pot of coffee. Wife brought home fresh pehcawns, most of which are grown in the GSoT.

How about the books' site? Also, I think this may have all grown out of a NYTimes blog that may still be around.

I think that's how the Untitled thread originally got started.
Well, it appears ya learn something new every day.

I'll venture that you'll at least find the first one, if not the new one, there.

Headed home.
We're off to sunny Buffalo tonight, as my partner is retaking that state exam he didn't pass last time around. He passed another big exam he needed earlier this week, though, so that's a good thing. This one, though, he won't get results on for a month. :(
Good luck to your partner! And I hope you find some time to enjoy Buffalo.

I was born in battle's fire
Laid beside my mother's corpse
My toys the ravens of the field
My lullabies the screams of horseBut when that storm god you all praise
Walks the earth and shatters trees
You huddle close beside my gift
And whisper prayers beside the spit
And as the woodsmoke turns and twists
You owe your lives to sly Loki.Odin saw me on the field
And recognized his bastard son
There he claimed me for his own
Heir to all that he had wonBut when that storm god you all praise
Walks the earth and shatters trees
You huddle close beside my gift
And whisper prayers beside the spit
And as the woodsmoke turns and twists
You owe your lives to sly Loki.I am the slyest of the gods
Fire is the gift I gave
I am swifter than the wind
And none can match the tricks I've playedBut when that storm god you all praise
Walks the earth and shatters trees
You huddle close beside my gift
And whisper prayers beside the spit
And as the woodsmoke turns and twists
You owe your lives to sly Loki.What is the honor they give me?
Denied a seat in Odin's hall
Forbidden fruits from Idun's tree
And cast outside of Asgard's wallsBut when that storm god you all praise
Walks the earth and shatters trees
You huddle close beside my gift
And whisper prayers beside the spit
And as the woodsmoke turns and twists
You owe your lives to sly Loki.So sit beside the fires gleam
And count the wrongs that I have borne
I wait for Ragnarok and dream
Hark! Is that the battles horn?

Yeah, it makes sense when you think about it rationally. Morality of the issue aside, if someone is looking to get an abortion, they obviously don't want the child. Many of them are in greivous economic situations as well. A signifigant percentage of those unwanted children end up becoming 'teen criminals' due to abusive/neglectful upbringing and poor economic circumstances. By eliminating unwanted children at the beginning, there are less teens boosting car stereos when they hit their 'beginning criminal age' at fifteen. And indeed, crime rates plummeted in 1989, just when the data model predicted.
