'Potential'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
If a guy friend offered to help me paint my apartment or something like that, it would never occur to me to interpret it as him wanting to date me.

The problem is all the buffistas are trying to sell their houses, not buy!! We need more house hungry b.orgers!
Me, too.

THANK YOU, PERKINS!!

So, I guess now they're having to start from scratch on the next generation of long-distance mission rockets.

Here's a thought - women don't want to be put on a pedestal.
You know, I bet right now D is whining about what a nice guy he is and why does 10% of bad outweigh 90% of good. @@
