That’s because they’re afraid you’ll break up their band.

Besides getting Opal wrong as **running coach** already said, you’re fighting Board demographics pretty hard doing that stuff at a college. If you did it at senior centers you’d find a lot more of us. 🙂

No mocking was intended; the confusion was genuine. It seems the Scots take their money _seriously_.

Any hour (minute?) now, the “premier legal expert” will have her suspension expire.

I sent him a message two days ago to ask him if this was likely to happen (a reopening of the thread), and I have not received a response.

We might need to start a new one.

I couldn’t resist just one post. But I did notice a few posters skirting the rules, and one who was definitely breaking a rule. Why risk a warning to respond to a troll???

It’s troll season, and it’s just getting started. Winter recess is about here.

This is shaping up to be a great holiday season for busy little whackos. I expect we’ll have a great holiday break with hungry little dingleberries seeking advice on relationships, abusive spouses, declawed unvaccinated cats, and girls who really mean yes when they say no.

Of course, I’m waiting for the classic “How do I tell my parents I got my sister pregnant?”

This will be an epic season and it starts in 2 weeks!

Did you send some Johnny Walker with your message? No? See, it’s your fault.

Bad advice. Spitting on hands is unsanitary.

Um, in an email from halfway across the country after you’ve run away together? Or separately?

Damn, you ask hard questions. If this is just the quiz I see the final’s gonna be a bear.
