When I had surgery for a (benign) tumor recently, this one stayed by my side on the couch the entire recovery. Sweet girl.

Big difference between USA and almost any other developed country is that bulge at 30-35.

Bottom is getting a little thin, but most places don't have a big cohort with 30+ years of working life left.

That group is also still mostly able to have kids.

Presumably if Israel started bombing random residential areas in Iran as message implies it would generate a politically disadvantageous response.

If #Iran and their regional proxies launch a combined attack on #Israel rapid escalation will be very difficult to prevent and we will face a new armed conflict that will be nearly impossible to contain

It is fantastic that you are citing research that I have worked on with the PCPSR team, and you managed to distort that factor number 1 is economic difficulties and factor 2 is the Israeli occupation. Plus, even if it is true that Israel has blooming Christian growth, it doesn't…

I don't know if I could explain what the OJ Simpson trial was like to someone who didn't experience it in school. I'm not sure there's any post-9/11 news that had that kind of impact on the school day. It was a complete circus. There were some 8th graders w/ *strong* opinions.
