And I apologise if I used the wrong gender. However I refuse to call a lady a b***h.

Thanks for refusing to use that nasty female b word.
And if you think this one is nosey, just wait until the next one.

There's a dear little plant that grows in our Isle Twas St . Patrick himself, sure, that set it; And the sun of his labour with pleasure did smile, And with dew from his eye often wet it. It grows through the bog, through the brake, through the Mireland, and they call it the dear little shamrock of Ireland.
Just the one that came with the wallet. Some real hottie. I don't know her name, but I call her Lacy. She's nice to look at.

18 Soar like Eagles or swim like Dolphins?
Fly, definitely fly.
19 Favorite stuffed animal?

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859
Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge. ~Mark Twain
