They shouldn’t, but they can.

It’s a really bad idea for them to do so.

It seems so strange to me that you’re focused on straps and ignoring the heels. There’s nothing about either of those shoes that make any sense.

Breathalyzers are for if you want to find out if someone is actually intoxicated.

Field sobriety tests are for when you want to arrest someone who isn’t intoxicated.

That’s a far cry from a stipulation that any state unhappy with the union could leave. While the Declaration of Independence is an important founding document of our country, it does not have the force of law.

I would argue secession as it was imagined by the rebel states was implicitly unconstitutional already. That was certainly the position of the Union during the Civil War. You can’t guarantee individual rights of U.S. citizens in the Constitution and allow states to free themselves from the obligation to respect those rights by just choosing to secede.

We do have the ability to dissolve the union as envisioned by the founding fathers in the Declaration of Independence, but it can’t be done unilaterally by any one state. We could do it with a constitutional amendment.

The only other way is through blood and death. As you point out, that hasn’t worked so far.

and the founding fathers even put a stipulation that any state unhappy with the union can leave

What are you referring to?

We do about $300/kid. We haven’t increased that over the years with inflation.

Kid’s are all grown up now. A couple years ago we started having everyone make Amazon wishlists. It was too difficult to figure out what everyone wanted. The wishlists make it easier for everyone. Also, we can put all our purchases on an Amazon store card and get 12 months interest free.

(I know. Amazon.)

Last year I also gave each kid a $300 Amazon gift card because everything sucks, and I didn’t want them to feel pressure for the holiday. I’ll do that again this year.

It probably seems crazy, but it works for us.

There were some things that could be interpreted as prayers, but the vast majority were not.

Shit, cats do that. Do they also pray to god?

Why would cats pray to themselves?

OH MY GOD!!!

When I was in college, a computer lab coworker asked me how long I had been dating my girlfriend.

I told her 6 years. She said, “Shit or get off the pot!”

That was the moment I decided to propose. We’ve been married for 33 years, together for 39.

When people ask about the proposal, I tell that story, and end with, “…so I decided to shit.”

I’d argue that he’s just trying to claim that the reason no woman has ever gotten pleasure from sex with him is because he didn’t want her to.

All those dirty fish swimming around…

Exactly. The peel is a significant part of the banana. You wouldn’t want to waste it.

Clearly the answer is to eat the sticker.

Some people keep journals. When those people write their autobiographies, they can check the records.

Other people have good memories.

It’s probably also more important for it to be a good story than for it to be 100% accurate.

Witnessed a radiology resident typing her password into a computer and for each uppercase letter she would press shift-lock, type the letter, then press shift-lock again.

I couldn’t figure it out until my mom pointed out she probably only ever used a phone or tablet.

Which is crazy, because I can’t imagine getting through high school, college, and medical school without ever working on a desktop computer.

I was single for 16 years until I started dating my first girlfriend. We dated for seven years, and we’ve been married for 32.

We started as friends and stayed friends.

The vacuum has no capability for an Internet connection and no cameras or audio recorders.

The quality of the vacuum wouldn’t lead me to choose anything else from Eufy. It’s just a good robotic vacuum.

We love Meryl.

I’m going to get a piece of wood, paint it white, and mount it under the fridge so she doesn’t get caught underneath.

Leo finds her a bit frightening.

Just when he thinks he’s safe, she turns around and goes on the attack.
