Is there a standard for physical and mental proficiency required to do the job? Great, then let female recruits who can pass both in. By law, individual businesses cannot discriminate on the basis of sex. The federal government shouldn't be able to skirt rules it applies to everyone else...

Quote: I would just admire it from afar, since my hair refuses to grow past mid-back. I can't believe people would just grab your hair without permission....well, yes I can, because I know people can be idiots. Kudos to you for refraining from punching their lights out.

Quote: I have an almost-healed gash on my knee from a very windy day recently at Petsmart....the zooming shopping cart just barely missed the front of my car but was headed straight for the SUV next to me. I dove to catch it, tripped over the curb, made an absolute fool of myself but managed...

People who leave their shopping carts out in the grocery parking lot on a windy day so that they can bash into the cars of others. Also serial killers, world hunger, oppressive undemocratic governmental regimes, and the Star Wars prequels.

That calendar actually popped up on Amazon as a recommendation for me, and that was how I found out about Conan O'Brien recommending it. I don't know if I'll take his other recommendations about Steven Segal's new CD or Leprechaun: In the Hood, but I put the calendar on my wish list. Maybe...

Quote: It kinda does, but in the interior photo in the magazine they're both holding chickens. So apparently she persuaded her psychiatrist that chickens are great.

Oh my god oh my god! That is so cool. You guys look great. I want a copy of that magazine.

Quote: Well, Alanis grew up and decided to start singing about indecency in movie theaters and incorrect concepts of irony. And everybody became afraid of saying "I don't know" ever again.

Quote: Wow! So much word for this. I don't have kids, so I'm not generally allowed to make statements like these.....so I'm happy that you did. Thanks for making such an eloquent statement in favor of teaching kids responsibility and etiquette.

Quote: Hopefully only the ones who are participating! I don't have any kids, but don't mind giving candy to other people's. I don't see anything wrong with sending your kids out to trick or treat while not giving out candy yourself.

A friend of mine reports that her cutest trick-or-treater was a little girl about 3 years old, who ran up the sidewalk and said "Chicken treat!" I didn't ask if she gave her cooked spaghetti.

Quote: I had neighbors like that once. Really considered putting a note on their front door that read "She's faking it."

Quote: Yes, this. The landlord may not be able to do anything, but it's worth a shot....and it's better to actually talk to the neighbor about it. Stewing for too long and building resentment doesn't help anything, especially since the neighbor really might be oblivious to how loud he and...

Robin'sBrood : ^ Parents need to teach their kids the rules... no porch light on means leave that house ALONE... Sheesh! Yeah, respect on Halloween is a two-way street. It's better not to participate than to be rude to kids, but kids need to realize that nobody owes them candy and leave...

Quote: I would've said it the other way around....you can tell a kid to shut up, but not a dog. Unless the kid is a baby, anyway, in which case neither can be told to shut up. But there are absolutely ways to keep a kid quiet if he/she is old enough to understand what you're saying. If...
