  If you are in an apartment, you are likely to share a neighbor's infestation. Seal up openings in the walls around pipes, etc. as best you can, to keep the nighbor's roach problem out of your apartment. For extermination it's best to have the building manager do it for everyone at the same time, so surviving bugs next door don't move in as soon as the treatment wears off.

  today is my birthday.

  i'm beyond caring about birthdays (i'm 51) but my dad, who is a non-jw married to my crazy jw mother, usually doesn't acknowledge us kids on our birthdays so as not to piss off my mom.

  actually, he has never acknowledged my birthday.

  Is the "Jehovah's Kingdom" application spyware, or ransomware? Or maybe just phishing for credit card numbers?

  You need help from a lawyer specializing in tax issues. Act ASAP, because interest will continue to accrue until your account is settled.

  Richard Dawkins defends “mild pedophilia,” says it does not cause “lasting harm”

  The "touching" Dawkins described (in the OP's link) is an act of grooming, gradually crossing moral boundaries to test the intended victim's resistance and, if weakness is found, to break down that resistance. It is not innocent, it is not harmless, it is in no way excusable.

  Fortunately, some people understand that it is appropriate to deal with molesters firmly (though in a way that "I don't think...did any lasting harm".)

  Asked by the dispatcher if any weapons were involved, the father said “my foot and my fist.”

  “I didn’t proceed to ask him any questions sir,” the father said. “He is nice and knocked out on the floor for you. I drug him out to the living room.”

  The father was not charged in Frolander’s beating, police spokesman Jimmie Flynt said.

  “Dad was acting like a dad. I don’t see anything we should charge the dad with,” Chitwood said. “You have an 18-year-old who has clearly picked his target, groomed his target and had sex with the victim multiple times.”

  No Congressperson or Senator can introduce legislation inconsistent with the First Amendment's freedom of religion or the Establishment Clause.

  They certainly can "introduce" such legislation, but it is more likely to become a rhetorical statement than the law of the land. Getting such legislation out of committee, and through floor debate and attempted ammendments, and passed by both chambers, and signed into law, and upheld by the courts, and not having it repealed in a later session of Congress is another matter.

  The US Constitution provides many opportunities for the government to correct its own foolishness. If that fails, we have regular elections to replace the fools responsible. Thank God (and Publius) for such safeguards!

  i'm wondering what sort of biking shoes and pedals you are using.

  i'm a road biker, so i enjoy speed and distance riding, and am upgrading my shoes and pedals.

  anyone have experience with specialized road shoes with the boa stem?

  Watching with interest. My decades-old Look road pedals and shoes are due for replacement. They ride well, but the shoes are getting worn and the old size Look cleats are getting hard to find. I'm considering Shimano SPD to get recessed, walkable cleats. They are a little out of place on a road bike, but are a practical choice for someone of my age!

  From Amherst Maine, no that's Massachusetts, errors galore from platform, warning to Russians not to take Ukrainian's Bibles

  i went to the whole three days of regional convention in amherst ma.

  mostly i slept through the talks, and i did get a lot of exercise walking around the concourse area looking for a bathroom that didn't have an exesive wainint line to go pee, yes, at this convention even the men's rooms had waiting lines!!!

  it seemed like a full third of the audience was perpetually walking around and socializing during the program.. there were so many errors, so many speakers tripping over their words from the manuscripts they were reading.

  Take that, Putin!

  Perhaps that is close to the truth: the organization may want to avoid the official attention a planeload of delegates coming through customs with shiny new NWTs would attract. [edit] Especially Ukrainian NWTs, with the present politcal tension.
