Why do people need to carry so much stuff with them when they are out? You really don't need a phone for anything, but people are so addicted to them and afraid of missing out on the latest BS "news". Don't need a wallet either. Just tuck some money into a buttoned pocket and there you go. Noone is going to steal a single thing from you.

Mid-70's maybe. No major health issues. She was actually at an expat function and appeared to be fine. She went to sleep that night and never woke up. So sad for everyone but mostly her husband of many decades Roger. They met in college and were together ever since.

I think an appropriate punishment would be for them to spend at least 10 years in a male populated prison where the prisoners could rape them any time they wanted. All they need to do is schedule with the guards. Some prisoners would likely enjoy the guys butt cheeks while most would use the woman many times a day. I think that's the only way they'd understand how the little girls were being abused.

I don't know how Coffee on the Beach could be a success unless the coffee actually tasted like a margarita.

"appeared out of the thick forest and charged the two men, causing them to flee in different directions."...... as one could be heard yelling to the other " I don't have to outrun the elephant, I just have to outrun YOU".

He doesn't sound so "lucky" to me. I wonder if the probe they mentioned will be an anal probe.

How cold does it need to get before they issue a "Bar Girl hard nipple" alert?

Well, I guess he/she can now date themselves and save a lot of money of expensive dinner dates.

Is this really news? Pigeons have been around for thousands of years. People have been feeding them in parks for hundreds of years. Life goes on.

Good one. Yes, I would have been offered a "bit" part. I'll be sure to keep my shades closed now that I know you are lurking outside and peeping inside. ????

Yes but what about the several hours prior to his death. Would you have wanted to be sitting near him or next to him all that time?

Why didn't anyone call me? I had some free time and always wanted to be in the movies. Well, there go my chances of winning an Academy Award.

Shorts? You risk time in a Thai jail over a pair of SHORTS? It's absolutely amazing how stupid some people are.

I'd be very worried if I was sitting anywhere close to this guy.

It was a clear cut black and white decision for Biden. We all know which way he leans. "he was caught thieving, kiting and lying about his previous employment and qualifications".... and she was caught with drugs. I'd say her offenses are worse.

Such a backwards police force or should I say farce. Why would you end such a thing? It was having great results. It should run 365 day a year. I've decided to put a foam pad on my wall so that when I read stories like this and start to bang my head against the wall there will be less injury and zero chance of a concusson.

" I have spent a great deal of time listening to the vocalizations of Thai Myna birds. Even Thai Myna birds depend upon a common-understanding of grammar for survival. When the green snake or the brown snake approaches the chicks of the Thai Myna bird, the Myna birds immediately begin to vocalize grammatically... And then, the snake is driven off, due to proper grammar." OMG. I hope the rubber room is fully cleaned and ready for you to take occupancy. Incredible.

"When you state, "I'm out", what is your meaning? "... exactly my point. I'm not sure how old you are but 95% of the people would understand what "I'm out" means. "Proper spelling is crucial for accurate communication"... no it's not. If I say... "How you doin" rather than "How is everyone doing today" will you not understand the meaning that's being conveyed? How about "What's up?". Are you clueless as to what the person is saying? "the meaning of words we use must mean approximately the same thing to the majority of speakers in the group."... mostly true but the world is becoming younger and younger. How you speak to your older friends is different from how the younger folks speak to each other. You need to accept that. "All that I know is that when I tune in to the debaters at the Oxford or Cambridge Forums"... I suspect 0.002% of the world listens to these forums so forget about it.

You are obviously an older British gent that is both misunderstanding my comments and afraid to deal with the fact that the world is changing. Good luck to you. I'm out.

"proper spelling is not important"..... did I say that? No! It's all about communication. If I say "ABC" to you, and you understand that I said "ABC" and not "XYZ" then the communication happened properly. The world is changing and so is the way young people speak and communicate. You have to deal with it.

Scholars? These are the people with no real-world experience yet sit in a classroom and tell people the way it is, right? Only 5% of "scholars" are worth a "bleep". Who cares if the language isn't any longer used in its "proper" form as long as the ultimate result of "communication" happens.

Is the English language, as we once knew it just a few decades ago, now dead, or quickly dying?....... well actually yes when you refer to "proper" English. There is so much slang and "street lingo" that it's hard to understand what the uneducated youth are saying on any given day. "We have all read the recent news reportage of how the small former colony of Singapore is turning proper English into a mishmash of spoken garbage"....... uh, er, um..... let's not point the finger at Singapore. Let's point the finger at uneducated youth all over the world who want to "fit in" with the crowd of their peers. You don't hear kids who attended college talking that way. They use mostly proper English. "Are you as scared as I?" .... no. "If not, then why not?".... it's called communication. Even if they don't use the "proper" English yet you are able to understand their meaning all is fine. "Don’t you care if somebody is using your language the wrong way?"... sounds like something an elitist would say. It's called communication and as long as the person you're talking to understands you then all is well.

Women and children ALWAYS will take priority as they are weaker and more vulnerable. Yes, I'd feel bad for anyone this sort of thing happened to but I find your comment odd. Men are men and should be able to take care of themselves. Not the same with women and children.

There's a reason they named them Cargo Shorts. They were marketed towards the guys who thought their "package" was actually bigger than it is and considered it cargo. They just added all the pockets to be more fashionable.

"a term that combines the word 'slide' and 'worm' "...... That's a new one. I never heard that term before. Sounds rather innocent. It might just work if you see a cute girl and ask her if she wants to come over you your place to see your slide worm. She'll probably expect to see something in an aquarium. When she finds out what your slide worm really is she'll know exactly where you are going to slide it.
