It's a big two-story mall with several anchor stores and maybe 50 or so smaller shops, as well as a food court. The mall is being readapted to something else, so everything but a couple of the stores are closed and the whole upper floor is vacant. The food court is also gone. As we walked past all the empty shops, my son remarked that it would be a great place for the end of the world on the 23rd or if the zombie apocalypse comes. He argues that a family could grab any one of the empty stores and use it as a living space, and that the mall, as a whole, would be easy to defend, if a group was there. I'm thinking no. Having that many people together in an end-of-times or emergency situation is dangerous, and you can't rely on people to protect the perimeter. Plus, there are so many points of entry. Once something happens inside or gets inside, you're mostly a sitting duck. Sure, you can pull down the door of your storefront, but y... less

I realize they are not married, and I vowed I would not continue a chat even if it were friendly, with a married person, but would you if the person had a gf? I feel badly just halting /cutting off any continued chat, but I also feel weird to continue.... If I had a bf and saw him chatting with a girl I'd feel low... what are your thoughts ? I once did chat w/ a guy IRL who had a girlfriend, but it was just at a concert and he was my seatmate... he was great and even complimented me, but I d idn't even say thanks ....lol. I felt like if I did I'd be almost flirting or something, and just kind of looked away. We did laugh but then of course, the concert was over. What do you think of it online ? (in a friendly way... I'm still feeling wary about it) less

Are they that weak,wimpy,scairdy cat impotent that they turn their backs on the folks who got them there and suck up to the prevailing winds as manifested by a president and a massively toady Senate and Congress? Because?

Actually a sidewalk walker though sometimes if a sidewalk is blocked you walk around it by walking in the street close to the curb. We could have separate licenses for sidewalks. Double dip. Then a license to walk on someone's private property. A license to enter a public building. Think how much revenue cities/states will receive? You can tax 'em to the hilt. Local tax, city tax, state tax, federal tax, exercise tax, just-for-the-he** of it tax. For every one who walks anywhere anytime 24/7? A mother lode of revenue just sitting there waiting to be tapped. less

Louisiana, Arkansas, Arizona, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Maine, Iowa, Alaska, New Mexico, North Dakota, West Virginia, Montana. Largely dominated by Republicans. Oh my. How embarrassing is that? Think it's gonna go up the flagpole with those affected adversely saluting or do you think that once again the GOP wasn't aware of the consequences of their actions and shot themselves in the foot? Again? less

None of them including the perps Graham and Cassidy will know what the impact of it will be since it cannot be scored in advance of the vote by the CBO (congressional budget office)
So they will be voting blind since they don't give a dam* about the content. They vote by rote. SIGH.
