That’s a pretty broad generalization. I know plenty of women with no kids who seem very fulfilled and happy and I know women with kids who’re miserable. Why can’t people just live their lives the way they see fit. We all have to live with our decisions, at the end of the day we all need to do what’s...

My 5th great grandfather was James Calhoun and his brother was....John C Calhoun. So I guess you could say my family was close to history since Calhoun was involved in so many things from 1812-1850. My dad had a bunch of Calhoun family papers and he gave them to Clemson or the group that runs Calh...

[quote]Hey dumb frick, you remember 07-08 when the current Mid 30's Millennials were graduating college and looking to get on the ladder? You dumb fricks pulled it up. But not only did you pull it up, you also ran policy to save your old asses at the expense of the same group who now faced the w...

We get paid bimonthly so I never get that third monthly paycheck twice a year, but my wife got hers today! We base our budgets off of each of us getting paid twice a month so when he she gets that third monthly pay it always feels like a bonus even though it really isn't. We'll probably use it...

I can't speak for the parallels between 1776 and 2024, because they're not exactly the same scenarios.

The army was melting away and a lot of enlistments were up on 1/1/1777. He needed to do something to...

[quote]It will be interesting. How many fans of weaker teams/conferences will still watch socalled college football. Will younger fans of ACC teams continue to be football fans when their teams are not eligible for championships.[/quote] I think this is already happening in a way. I'm a WVU fa...

My wife (no pics) is a pharmacist and has her PharmD. She never goes by her Dr. title. In fact her hospital has the pharmacists go by their first names even though they all have doctorates. She doesn't mind and when I jokingly call her Dr she doesn't care for it. ...

Obviously diet is a big part of all of this and eating ultra processed food isn't good. I turned 40 in August and over the past few years I've been more conscious about what I eat. I made an effort to cut down on bagged food, lunch meat, and less booze. I eat a cereal that has a lot of fiber and t...
