  what were some of yours?

  the big one in our hall was no frontal hugs!

  these were generally thought of as inappropriate, only side hugs should be given between sisters and brothers.

  Sister old homely cant be alone with(take your choice) a 17 yo male or brother old no sex drive( I know because i never in my whole life saw anyone who couldnt notice a flirt in a worldly situation, I did)

  The nylons relate to the suits for women, I never took that as manly garb.

  Back when there were comments about his or HER hair being too long-- no scripture there

  one of my favorite actors is robert de niro.

  some of his later movies were so so but overall i think he was outstanding.

  meryl streep, i just never thought she was anything exciting yet people say she’s the best actress of all time.

  Some think trump is not as rich as he claims so he is saving face.

  If teddy, Eisenhower, truman, jfk and others could see this they would not believe it.

  Go back to the founding fathers and it would be even worse

  ok, you'll have to bear with me with this one.. i want to talk about toasters.

  a) a toaster you can buy today, any brand.

  b) a toaster invented in 1948. for a bonus, how long do you think a toaster purchased today will keep working?

  my wife and i have always shared naked photos respectfully over the years.

  being the only thing to fill that void in our relationship due to being apart.

  Keep quiet. Photos have a way of slipping out. As to what is allowed between mates it is NOT the business of anyone else.

  A long ago elder friend told me the policy was to disfellowship the bad personality. No steering them to help, and certainly not inform the congregation.

  Better not have any mental bad genes, or develop dementia. Usual love

  Anecdotally I heard that Knorr would send you to your room with chicken soup only.

  From what everyone hears, you had better be one of the big guys or know where the bodies are buried

  Just got a story on radio that he nixed a senior food program from getting donations from Jewish outfit because it did not meet HIS nutrition standards.

  People complain about trump wanting to be king. Look carefully.
