It has taken the better part of 50 years to get from there to here. I wouldn't say it was easy.
The evangelical bloc was the hardest to convince. They had to get some capitalist representation in the churches to counteract all of that business about "helping the poor" and "blessed be the meek" that Jesus was always going on about.
Once they got Joel Osteen to convince millions of viewers that Jesus wanted them to be rich, that really clinched it for them.
Oh, grandpa ...
Every case of a random person hiring a "hitman" that I have heard of has, in fact, been someone hiring an undercover cop. And the people soliciting the services went to jail for a good long while.
There's a big cake mix manufacturing plant near where I grew up, and I knew a lot of people who worked there. They all confirmed that the only difference between the name brand cake mix and the store brand they made was the box they put it into at the end of the process.
Teacher here. I consider all of the teachers I've worked with, and I consider how few of them I would trust with a loaded firearm under the best possible circumstances (maybe 10 percent).
Then I consider the number of those who would actually consider using a firearm (down to about 3 percent).
And then I consider how many of those I would trust with a firearm in a room full of students... and it's zero.
I finally just avoided the problem by moving to a country where civilians are not generally allowed to own guns and school shootings are not a problem.
Oh, man. What a day that was. I was in first grade, still too young to understand that there were people in that thing and that those people died.
When we watched it blow up like fireworks, I don't think we realized that wasn't what it was supposed to do. Our poor teacher had to process it pretty quickly so she could explain it to us.
A good rancher is usually the indirect cause of their cows giving birth because they determine when mating occurs.
It wasn't sheer coincidence that so many cows had calves in the same 48-hour period. Dude planned it that way by mating (or artificially inseminating) all of his heifers at the same time.
I have yet to take a flight where my Bluetooth earbuds will connect to the screen built into the seat in front of me.
The way that someone responds to you is a reflection of them, not of you. If someone in your life is wildly inconsistent, all you can do is make sure that you are maintaining consistency yourself.
I've worked with a number of people who acted like we were besties one day and then gave me the cold shoulder for weeks. I spent too many years wondering what was wrong with me before I finally figured out that their mood swings had nothing to do with me.
I remember when Fox was a brand-new network that only broadcast during specific times of the day in my area.
Okay, there are just multiple layers of bad women's anatomy in the original post and in the comments.
Eggs are in the ovaries. Without hormonal birth control, generally one egg (but sometimes more and sometimes none) is released from the ovary, travels down the fallopian tube, and if it is fertilized, implants in the uterus. If it is not fertilized, it passes out of the uterus, the uterine lining is shed (that's menstruation), and the process repeats the following month.
There is no "grandchild" in an ovary, any more than there is a "grandchild" in a testicle.
And if a fertilized egg implants anywhere outside the uterus, that's an ectopic pregnancy -- which is not viable because only the uterus has the capability to grow with and provide nourishment to a developing fetus. Not only that, but ectopic pregnancies are generally fatal to the mother (or however that person identifies).
