(I should be eating more vegetables, but all that meat gets in the way. It's not my fault; the people who run slaughterhouses refuse to put out more veggies.) ~

The other two times I went I ate and drank some beers watching sports. I‘m not a fan of gambling. It isn’t for me.

After seeing a movie, a nitpicker lists every tiny thing he or she didn't like about it. Use the informal nitpicker when you're talking about someone who is extremely critical, even when those criticisms seem inconsequential.

Some sources say it's a bad idea to take a dog out into bear country because the dog may aggravate a bear and bring it back to camp and other sources say it's fine and can be helpful to have a dog around. I have a black lab that's about 7 years old and she's normally a very docile creature. She's like 80+ pounds. She likes her people, stays close, and is obedient. I'd keep her on a leash anyway though... mostly because she's a house dog and I don't want to risk her wandering and getting lost. It hit me that she'd probably love going camping with us. She loves all kinds of trips. And, if she will help prevent us from getting eaten, I'm all for it. But, if she's a risk, I'll leave her at home. Have any of you had personal experiences with dogs and bears? less

I've seen him in concert - - at one of the concerts I suddenly got escorted out of line by security guards -- I asked what was wrong as they walked with me - - nothing was wrong, it was that the guards thought I was Howard Jones' brother and they were taking me backstage! "You look so much like him," they said. Stupid me - - I told them I was not his brother and they let me go. If I had played along, I could have met Jones!:) less

Personally, I don't think we have a problem with the democrats or republicans or the left or the right or the liberals or the conservatives. I think it's the polarization and the us vs. them mentality that will do us all in. Are people, in general, capable of stopping these kinds of remarks? Should they be stopped? What would it take to stop them? less

The captain needed a forced cell move completed and the S.O.R.T. team doesn’t work overnight. They always used the biggest and strongest officers to do them overnight. There’s five officers who go in. The first one has a shield and the other four are etched assigned a limb to subdue. I took a running start, burst into the cell, and rammed the inmate against the wall knocking him unconscious. I was then called “The Beast” by the supervisor filming the incident. It stuck. less
