Many years ago in Shreveport (far north Louisiana next to the AK line) ate at a Chinese restaurant where they brought us a stack of sliced white bread.
We expressed surprise and the server replied "well, a lot of people here don't consider it a meal unless there's bread on the table".

Ugh ugh ugh hate it. But I was an adult when it came out in the early 70s. Way overkill but the worst was the part about the levee being dry.
That is the whole point of levees. To keep the water back.
Ugh.

Wait a minute--what I'm reading here is claiming that evacuation of placental tissue after a live birth is considered an "abortion". In 42 years of being an RN I never encountered that terminology.

It's SO efficient to destroy things then try to put them back together when you realize that OOOPS! dang I needed that.

Nope. 43 years together and husband and I have never had a TV in the bedroom. No conflict, we both just never even considered it. We like to read in bed. To each their own.

I LOVE it. Wish we could have it all year round. 4:30 darkness is ridiculous. I don't care if the mornings are darker.

Sorry cher. Born and raised there, grew up in Baton Rouge with relatives north and south. I couldn't leave fast enough except for the years 1972-1979 when I was back. Love my family that's still there, love the food, hate everything else. Except maybe azaleas.

If I wasn't 71 and retired I'd think about it. I still have nightmares about night shift in the ICU though, so, I'll stay here. We NEVER seem to lose our fear about finishing charting, that's all I'll say.
