  so yesterday afternoon, an elder who lives only 3 blocks away drives up to my house as i was about to enter my car.

  as he gets out of his car, i noticed he had a stack of photocopied paper in his hand and he seemed quite nervous.

  i was genuinely happy to see him nonetheless since he is pretty easygoing and very likeable.

  he is accused of performing "abortions" after the birth of live babies.

  where does planned parenthood stand on this case?.

  what little I have read about this case is truly horrifying. There is no excuse for his actions.

  i'm just curious?

  since i have become aware that witnesses are getting older and that the youth is leaving (well in western lands anyway), i have started doing counts by age group of the people sitting in the hall.

  generally in the hall that i attend i have found that 2/3 are 40 and over while 1/3 is 40 and under.

  The hall I used to attend had roughly 45 in attendance at meetings. The age groups seemed to be pretty evenly split, with the noteable exception of absolutely no one between the ages of 18 and 30. It seems that the minute the kids get old enough to move away, they are gone.

  I would guess that at least 75% of the work for a cake decorator would be holiday items and birthday items, unless you worked in a shop that specialized in wedding cakes only. Most supermarket bakeries don't do a lot of wedding cakes. What did he really think he'd be doing?

  Honest Reponse needed

  by His Excellency in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  attraction isn't the glue that holds couples together, and there have even been scientific polls and studies taken on this.

  that initial attraction *typically* doesn't last more than a few months.

  though attraction keeps you interested long enough to get to know someone and build a relationship with him/her.. but my question is this, how long does the attraction lasts in new couples, before they get bored with each-other?..

  I'm still attracted to Just Ron after 22 years together. I wouldn't trade him for any other man, no matter how sexy.
