I agree with that.
In a big city, even if you happen to be walking down a quite street, it's likey you won't nod your head or say hi to someone you pass.
In the country, it's the custom to even greet other people when you are driving (down a back road at least) you know, with that index finger raised off the steering wheel for a second thing? This is even if you don't know them.
I agree with that as well and for the same reasons.
I also believe that in most of the findings of 'older' civilizations, they had what would be considered a smaller population per group.
For example-
yes there were MILLIONS of mayan people.. but in their own small cities, there were just a few hundred there.
With that amount of space, the intimicy level between people was a totally diffrent experience then what we have today.. in lets say.. NY where there can be almost a million people in a 5 sq block radius
"each child has a name beginning with the letter J: Joshua, 17; John David, 15; Janna, 15; Jill, 14; Jessa, 12; Jinger, 11; Joseph, 10; Josiah, 9; Joy-Anna, 8; Jeremiah, 6; Jedidiah, 6; Jason, 5; James, 4; Justin, 2; and Jackson Levi, 1."
oh my god they're still only on the Js.
From the old Groucho Marx show when the contestant stated he had 12 children, Groucho asky "Why?' he responed that he loved his wife. Groucho then said "I love my cigar too but sometimes I take it out of my mouth"
Ah, I see that's one of mine, too.
Well, my opinion is still the same, no matter what the circumstances.
I don't know what the magic number of kids for a family should be, but in my opinion, 16, or there abouts, is just way too many. As I said before, it's not "ecologically responsible".
but its divisible by 2 4 and 8.
its 2 to the power 4
its 1000 binary
its a good number, 16. Enough for a football team with some on the bench.
anyway back to important health news
i'm worried about bird flu
is my parrot going to die?
(excluding murder if he says it again)
But what if everyone wanted a fried egg, you'd have to buy 2 dozen, and there would be...um....eight....I think.....left over.
I guess they could eat hot dogs, they come eight to a pack, so I guess that would be all right.
exactly my point ms chai tea
its all to do with number and divisibility.
are you chai as in tea tea? or even t^2?
t^2....? wha?
but back to the subject....hot dogs are full of nitrates and pigs bung holes.
However, there are other ingredients in hot dogs that you would NOT want to eat as well.
we are forgeting about the parents....are they to go hungry?
So really we are dealing with 18 people.
I seem to remember picking my name because I was looking at a celestial seasonings box the first time I came on here.
Brahmin has already done the "I drink ice tea chai tea style"
Please, call me chai. don't be for formal.
ok thats no problem my dear
you look great
I am just being silly
and mean no harm

Probably not if it's isolated by itself with no contact with infected birds, or an intermediary.

If we can go back to the ever expanding Duggar family for just a minute...They are the reason that I found A2K in the first place.
I was reading a thread about them on another forum and someone referred to Mrs. Duggar as a "wizard's sleeve".
I googled the term and wound up here:
