    Dogs should not be chained. If the dog had been loose in the yard, the old lady would probably have thought twice about trespassing in the first place. If the dog had been loose in the house, it would probably have barked its head off when she came into the…

    personally i think the bombings were fantastic, and the US should always consider using them again if need be.

    Maybe you could volunteer to stand right under the next one, so that you can experience the fantasy personally.

    I read books. If all you need is a snippet of information, then Yes, the Internet is quick and easy. But if you want a really good read, it has to be a book.

    Clear straps are OK under a see-through garment, though as ExPrinceska notes, they can irritate, especially if it's hot and sweaty.

    If shoulders are bare, having straps that are meant to be seen looks nicer, I think.

    ExPrinceska - They do say that if your bra doesn't slip down when you take the straps off, you don't need a bra in the first place. :-)

    That's where the pretty (chain, jewelled, beaded etc) straps come in; they take the place of the regular straps so that things…

    If he can't afford it why the @&$#"+! did he stay in a posh hotel in the first place. Sheer lunacy.

    Unless there's any suggestion of the Foreign Ministry paying his debts for him, his job isn't really important. Maybe it just points to the lack of fiscal sense these…

    The question of what the man was doing on the mountain has significant bearing on whether this was indeed a tragedy or simply nemesis. My vote is for the latter.

    If the bear was hurt, or gets hunted down as a 'killer', then it's a tragedy.
