Re: Ask the forum

Ive never been anywhere near a bidet in my life. For this reason, a now-bothersome thought had never even occurred to me until I heard someone else bring it up recently: So, am I correctly understanding how this works?

Re: Ancestry

At present I possess copies of two professionally compiled genealogies tracing the ancestry of each of my grandfathers. The one for paternal grandpa only goes as far back as the family emigrating to the US from Norway in the 1870's, but the one for maternal grandpa goes back to the 17th century. So ...

Re: Gun culture in the US

I still find it very odd seeing people sat in bars open carrying in the US, don't think I will ever get used to it. I prefer living somewhere where the only time you would see a gun is at a pheasant shoot. For the record, this isn't actually normal behavior here. People who do it want it to be seen...

Re: Gun culture in the US

We send them little babies and they send back 2,500 hardened criminals who commit the sort of crimes we've never seen here before... This reminds me, it happened in Central America/the Caribbean during Obama. He had a really aggressive deportation policy, I think more than anyone else before him. H...

Re: Kids Book Recommendations

My son got really into the Percy Jackson books, starting when he was 10. (For anyone who doesn't know, this is a "young adult" fantasy series about modern-day teenagers who discover that they're actually demigod offspring of ancient Greek deities.) Reading some of them along with him, I ended up bei...
