I'm surprised this doesn't happen much more, although we likely only hear about a small percentage of it. They ride on the tops of trucks all the time, along with overloading the trucks themselves higher than legal. Nothing to do with being forced but wanting to. A way of showing off. This isn't allowed at all in the west and you'll be pulled over very soon if you try. The same thing allowing students to sit on the tops of school buses in the country. Accidents waiting to happen, and they eventually will.

I actually had 4 PEA employees come to my house last month, after I called them, letting them know, once again, the power goes off almost every day for a few seconds, and almost every week for a couple of hours, both abnormal occurrences. While I have been calling the last 8 years about this, they finally send people to my house trying to explain things. The outages usually happen during the day, but sometimes after midnight, with no wind, rain or storms. I told them, as I have before, that back in the states, the power might go off 3 times a year, usually during storms, and that the amount of times it happens here wasn't normal. There were many trees hitting power lines here, as they do most everywhere, and that does have the power go out but they had been cutting trees from the closest town, where the PEA business is, all the way past my house as far as their system provides electricity. This slowed down the amount of times the power went out a little bit, but didn't stop them. I explained to them it wasn't just the trees, but the grid had problems, along with the transformers, lines and breakers, which were very old. They told me I was right, that they were still waiting for funds to fix the whole system, that it was coming soon. According to other friends here, this isn't happening but a few times a year where they live, so I knew it was the local one that was the problem.It happened yesterday, while Windows was installing an update. Luckily it re-started once the computer rebooted.

You could throw a bucket full of water at people but I'm thinking it might go over well there.

There are also a lot of us that don't care who enters an establishment, as long as it has what we're looking for.

What study are you using to gauge their intelligence level I might ask? Is it just the one man that asked you (how) to get out?

Takes a lot of will power to stop at 2 slices of any New York style pizza, especially in New York or New Jersey. When I visited Texas last November, I had it twice from places who's owners were formerly from the NYC area and I did go to 3 slices as it was Italian sliced sausage and mushrooms, which are hard to resist.

No place to hold the clipboard.

Sold quite a few working in Texas at Academy Outdoors. Will get one eventually, a P238. Excellent easily hid .380.

Why not, everyone else around here does, along with my electric drill, machete (now missing), pickaxe, shovels (one still not returned), spades, saw, rake, (girlfriend appropriated it for her gardening), and other assorted tools.

I would never call a plumber to hang a curtain. That I'd reserve for the local electrician.

The problem here isn't any particular person but the antisemitism and prejudice that automatically comes out. Lumping all into one group never works, as all nationalities and races has their share of dickheads, and this doesn't mean they all are. Anyone who hates all Americans because of this war is very closed minded, as most of us want to see peace in Iran, and this always comes at a price. If it doesn't happen, the chaos and killing always continues. All Jews aren't bad. Just some, the same as all other groups.

Well said, and exactly what I've experienced here, both in my ex and the ex's family and other friends. They hold things inside and it causes anger misdirected towards anyone who's around at the time. I rarely see hugs to children over age 6 or so, and my daughter is hug loving because of this. I didn't see any closeness between my ex's second daughter but only control and anger when she did something wrong. Your first sentence is what I was thinking right off before I read your reply. Keeping things in, especially for the ones suffering from any form of depression, only exacerbates their problem. I saw depression once I started to live with my ex, after moving here. She would lie on the floor, staring at the ceiling for hours. When I tried to get her to do something she wasn't interested. Later she would act like nothing happened, which I know is a the mood swing changing, as it does throughout the day. I saw this in my ex back home, and she tried to help herself by following my advice and seeing a doctor. tried medication and the first didn't work, but the second did. Then she felt better and stopped, and from then on things were much the same as always, until she gave me custody of our daughter when I asked, because she couldn't handle a child along with herself. Your third paragraph further explains why this happens, and I've seen it with a close friend here. Some love the idea of having someone close, but much of the time they'd rather be alone on their phone or sleeping, as thinking too much is a major deterrent to their situation, and anyone can cause them stress, even if you're only trying to help by talking. Being alone reduces the amount of stress, but isolation is the worst thing a person with depression needs. Of course this isn't a big problem with those not having depression here. Just that it makes things a lot worse when they do. Going to the hospital with my girlfriend for the dentist a couple times I've seen many lining up to see the mental health doctor, so some are trying, but that stigma around the disease hurts many, just like all over, and with a lot less doctors here, it doesn't help those that might be willing but don't want others to know, as going to see the doctor has that gossip talking. The subservient culture as far as women are concerned also does not help those suffering.

Let me know about the toothpaste research.

They sure can if they've taken good care of themselves or have cash. Some men are also attracted to older women as they still need a mother figure in their lives, or a caretaker, being a little helpless.

Great Bass and salt water fishing and food. Another US state would be fine, it would bring more trade between the island and the mainland.

I'm sure many women say the same things about men, especially those who don't take care of themselves.

Truth, as many fathers send money to the mothers (or grandma) and rarely see their children. On time is a lot more important than sending money. Children need a father every week, as a mother cannot fill in for a father and teach them what a father can. This happens here not only with fathers, who many times never see their children again, and mothers, who go to another city to work and only see their children a few times a year. A grandparent isn't a substitute for a parent unless the parents are deceased. Many are too old or allow the children to run rampant, tending to the farm instead of doing what an actual parent does, monitoring their behavior. We see this every day with children on scooters at 8 years old and in my daughter's school, most of the children there don't have a father around. Children, especially daughters, need a father as much or more than the mother, as the girls need someone to look up to as a protector and to show them how to relate to men when they're adults themselves.

Too much exaggeration about how the cops in the US handle most things. Thousands of arrests made daily and only a few involve shootings of suspects. A cops job everywhere is to subdue. Not to beat, shoot an unarmed suspect, hit while down etc. Taking anger out on a suspect is unprofessional. That is the problem with some cops, and exactly why they join the force. What the man did was wrong, and he should be subdued and arrested. The same happens here with security guards, who are hired to keep the peace, and not thugs to beat anyone that gets a little rowdy.

Now this does sound familiar.

. America, Russia, and England being the main, the rest of the help came from France, Italy, Australia, Poland, Canada. The Russians accounted for more German casualties than the others, but all helped in some ways. Intelligence and covert operations being much of it. Even the Jews helped a lot, diverting troops from the war with their own fighting,

Half of everything accrued during the marriage. If there's children, she will likely get the house if bought during the marriage, until the child turns 18, where it can be sold, proceeds split, or one bought out.

Noticed that too. Ego took over, even though the foreigner was being led out already.

I started laughing before I saw your comment, and then continued.

True, but many Republican minded people dislike Trump. I never liked him, but some things he's done are okay. Others are way out there, including his basic character.
