[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
It sounds lovely, Gud.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Gud, you are a truly wonderful man. Don't you forget it.

Thanks all. I think the card will go over well, but I also think my wife will still think I'm a jerk overall. No end in sight for the troubles for the time being.

Go, CaBil!
Also, hoping Jilli is as pain-free as possible.
Robin, that's a very good suggestion, about the storage bins. Daniel has made similar suggestions in the past. Dunno why I haven't tried that.

Raq, does you experience include other rich countries, or only nations that were a lot poorer than the U.S./French/UK/W. European standard. Cause I admit you have a lot more personal experience than I do.
Nope, just poorer countries. My British friends are very well educated, and come from both types of schools, but I have no direct experience of the British schools, other than a bit at the university level. My German and Turkish friends are also well educated, but I don't know where they attended school.
My experience with state-funded (vice private) schools in the other countries has been that state agendas are frequently promulgated under the guise of education. You would not believe the kinds of things included in Romanian textbooks from the Ceaucescu period.
In Malaysia, one of the problems that we encountered over and over, and had many teacher meetings on, was how to handle students coming into the International (private) school from a state-run (Koranic) school at the high school level. They were very far behind the other students in terms of ability to think. They were great at rote memorization.
OTOH, I had several Chinese-Malay friends who were extremely well educated, but they'd attended private schools in Malaysia, Korea, and England.
I don't have enough experience with Greek schools to speak, but this is the richest country I've lived in (US excluded).

And, on a different topic, this is done to be funny, but is actually a really good analysis of what happiness is, and how to maximize it: [link]
