Some are descendents of planters from France and Spain. There was a lot of interbreeding. Just Curious

In what context have you heard it used? When it’s used sarcastically, yes, it’s annoying. However, if somebody is complimenting you on a job well done and they say, “good for you”, it just means “I’m proud of you” or “You go, girl”. Just Curious

Those who cherish the confederate flag don’t seem to accept that the confederacy lost the civil war and accept the implications of that. Just Curious

When it comes to some problems/conflicts, I suspect a lot of people don’t have the confidence or interpersonal skills to confront the other person, so they hire a lawyer as intermediary. 2. Unfortunately, there are a lot of sleazy lawyers who work on a contingency basis encouraging people to sue others. Since it’s not costing the client anything unless they win, they have nothing to lose. What I don’t understand is why judges don’t throw out frivolous cases more often. Can anyone answer that one?

Check out Opera Digest and other Opera mags or websites. There are a number of slender singers – male and female. True, some are still fat, but aren’t we all in AMerica? Just Curious

I’ve never heard of a testicular transplant. Like kidneys, each man has two, so it may be difficult, but not impossible to find a live donor. I don’t know if there would be a problem with organ rejection or “rewiring”, but I’ve never heard of the possiblity. Sounds like the basis of an interesting medical-legal thriller, though. Have you asked a doctor about this? Just Curious

Most people would shy away from a male banker, doctor or attorney who dress this way at work. What you do in your spare time and your day off is your own business. Who cares? I know some straight men who compromise by wearing women’s panties and/or pantyhose under their trousers. It’s their delicious secret. If it floats your boat, … hey why not? Not all girlfriends would accept this, but some would, I believe as long as it wasn’t an obsession and necessary fetish. Just Curious

NYC and San Francisco, it would be acceptable. Most straight people, esp men are repelled by the sight of 2 men kissing. So, don’t look! Remember the outcry when the movie BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN came out? Just Curious

REcently 2 doctors advised the same and one offered to sign legal papers if necessary to forbid her to drive. Frankly, I think all drivers should have to re-take the driving test every 10 years. I believe AARP feels that IF OLDER DRIVERS PROVE CAPABLE, able to pass vision and driving tests, they should not be forbidden to drive based solely on age. AFter all the highest insurance premiums are for teenage male drivers. They’re the ones who tend to take stupid risks and drive too fast. Just Curious

If you need a life-saving operation, would you rather have a young doctor just out of residency or an experienced surgeon who’d performed hundreds if not thousands of these operations? No brainer. The answer to your question – it’s usually cheaper – in terms of salary an health insurance – to hire someone just out of college. In high-tech fields, younger managers may feel (justifiably or not) that older people are not as techno-savvy. Just Curious

Even though I’m not married with a family of my own, I do have a busy life. My 86 year old mother lives on her own and feels frail, though she gets around pretty well. She’s losing her short-term memory and we’re getting medical help, testing, etc. for that, but other relatives make her feel like an invalid. I try to point out all the things she’s still able to do – read fiction and comprehend, play cards with her friends, function in daily life (except for driving) and I encourage her to do as much as she can for herself. I remind her that she’s not totally incapacitated. I think it makes her feel better & more in control of her life. Just Curious

In the real world is where I learned most about what life is really about and how to handle difficult situations and difficult people, as well as work-related issues. It’s good to be young and idealistic. Older people do have more real life experience, though not all of them learn from their mistakes. I still, however, try to be innovative and try new things, while some older people have the attitude of “we’ve always done it this way.” that drives me nuts Just Curious

They have just so much money (not enough!) allocated for Medicaid and the priorities are for elderly, disabled and children. I agree that it’s not fair, but I guess they have to draw the line somewhere based on the money available. Just Curious
