Was there a grandfather clause on the Ten Commandments? Like, if you were already coveting your neighbor’s wife when the commandments came out, could you go right on coveting or did you have to stop? ---

They used it with water(no toothpaste) \*\* When were all the rules concerning punctuation, capitalization and coherent writing revoked? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Searching For Truth \* > \*\ ***My Question** : (ultimately mundane, girly and lame) - I’m wearing a tiara to my "Last Hurrah, " i.e. High School Prom, but don’t want to wear my hair completely up. I want to pull the top up but let the back hang down loose. Haven’t had much luck finding pictures to show my stylist. Anyone have any pictures or helpful sites? \*\* Awww! You’re going to look so sweet! 🙂 I’d love to see the pix. I’m sorry I can’t help answer the question, though. All I can think of is Audrey Hepburn, in _Roman Holiday_, and I think she had all her hair up. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by meyer \* > \*\*Why would there be aconnection between Peter Pan & Peanut Butter? > \*\* There’s a Peter Pan brand of peanut butter. But, I don’t know what the connection is. > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by The MacDairmuid_ > \*\*Why do people keep calling those red ropes of plasticky chewy strawberry flavoured stuff “licorice?” > \*\* Forgive them; they know not what they do. It kinda ticks me off, too, since I actually like REAL licorice. Black jelly beans, too. ---
