Nutty, that's why I said "the basic idea" and "short, short answer."
Trust me, you don't want me to start talking about bank regulation on any other basis. There isn't enough aspirin in the world.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Yeah, my quarterly newsletter is completely incomprehensible to me, except inasmuch as it makes me grateful I'm not trying to support a family on what a petty officer makes.
I get that with my USAA car insurance.

Oh, I figured. I was using my example to illustrate how fuzzy (not fizzy, as I'd first typed) the "common bond" really is.
But I'll take all the fuzzy common bonds in the world, for a really good car loan rate!

Depends on the petty officer, there's First, Second and Third Class. Third Class is the lowest and, yeah, a married Third Class with two kids can just about qualify for food stamps. I got out as a First Class with 14 years service back in 1993 and I'm only now making a dollar an hour more than I was then. The longer you stay in, the better it gets.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I had conferences with Julia and Chris's teachers, and they were both very good. They made me smile.
