Even if there were funds above & beyond the amount eventually needed for legal assistance, a housing purchase is probably out of reach.

How many people think that Myers is going to the Quilieute Indian Reservation?

And how many people think that he's going to the Quillayute River Resort?

PeeZus has a post about some "amazing" art created by a woman who sculpts human faces onto taxidermied animal bodies (e.g. antelopes, zebras, deer, etc.).

Is Myers really clueless or just running a scam that backfired? I think that what he posts in future will show it.

Ftb have designated a tiny portion of the atheism/scepticism community to themselves and excluded all others.

So it looks as if Prof Ceiling Cat's driving route through Texas will take him somewhat north of where I am - which is probably just as well, because my socioeconomic status is basically white trash, compared to the readers he's visited so far. :lol:

Heart of Darkness is a story within a story; there's at least two levels of POV between the author and the story.

Well, if the surgeons think that the screws/plate procedure is best, then maybe being bionic isn't so great. Probably you have good bone density and healing, so they think the implant isn't necessary.

Okay... So, the plate, screws and nails moved around during my convalescence. I've lost a bit over a centimeter of length in my left leg, and the pain will stay the same until the next intervention. I have a shitload of tests to organize in the next three weeks, since they're planning on going with...

While the followers of PeeZus remain convinced that the "Hope Amantine" vascular surgery training story was TRUFAX, the unethical ethicist Stemwedel is butthurt about the story being fiction: http://www.forbes.com/sites/janetstemwedel/2015/07/08/honesty-is-a-duty-for-physicians-even-when-telling-sto...

So PeeZus falls for a post on some social media site for MDs, presented as a training experience in vascular surgery, but soon revealed to be a fictional account. Does he correct his blog post to indicate this? Of course not - he uses it as an excuse to boast about training medical students in "anim...

Going a few pages back to the discussion of the Guardian and USAians, I have to say that if you're a progressive, left-leaning American and you live in the UK for any length of time, you're told that the Grauniad is the paper you should read.

Maybe not, but financial circumstances, family relationships, and personal happiness have certainly fallen for some individuals because they were too nice. And too trusting of the shits around them.
