This was from a thread about stores you used to shop at, but don't anymore. I guess Sears clothing line was going downhill.
No, I'm not going to.

I spend a lot of time in the town of Princeton, and because of the presence of so many faculty members and students, the area is known as one where the local populace is very well-educated. However, I spotted a notice that was posted on the bulletin board at the Small World Coffee Company's café, the purpose of which was to arouse public support for a traffic light at a certain intersection.

Underneath a photo of a dented car, the text told us that, "Everyday children cross this intersection..."
I wonder if any of the extraordinary children in the town also cross that street, or if only the everyday kids choose to cross at that spot.

Apparently, the level of education is not consistently high in Princeton...

Whenever I mention it to someone I get a blank stare.

I just don't understand the constant "dumbing-down" of our society .

Yes, I do recall that post.
My recent experience is just more evidence supporting the earlier post from Dirt Grinder.

I had to have colonoscopy & they did find pylops.

It's pretty cool to be able to have the privilage to ask simple little questions that you need to know to people with experiance.

I am so motivated by your victory's.

i was wondering if the Medimucil was causing this. I hope not because it really has stopped the Diareaha.

One misspelling that I've seen a lot lately on C-D goes like this: "...so I really did try to be discrete and avoid public _____."
