    The adult teachers don't allow disruption of the ceremony. Good. A high school graduation is not a place for digestive system abuse advocates.

    The orioles seem to be gone, as well as the grosbeaks. Oh well. We had them and they will remember next year. Not sure how they do that, but they do.

    Pseudocholinesterase deficiency (aka butyrylcholinestesterase) is something that every anesthesiologist is familiar with. Pseudocholinesterase is involved with the metabolism of succinylcholine, a paralytic drug. Mild deficiencies cause a drug that should last 5-10 minutes to last an hour or so. Severe deficiencies can cause you to be paralyzed for hours and hours. I've seen a couple, but only one was undiagnosed. Well, I should say it was diagnosed by me, LOL. It's an autosomal dominant trait, and it's no big deal, if you know about it beforehand. There is no treatment, afaik. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudocholinesterase_deficiency

    Far less specifically ideological. That’s the difference at least as far as common usage goes. But again from a first amendment perspectives are the press

    We have really gone off the deep end that this would even be entertained.

    @jon-nyc said in Geez, guys...: Just looking at the wiki entry on the show. Dick Van Dyke is still alive. I have a friend from Danville Illinois, which is the hometown of Dick Van Dyke. My friends daughter was in the high school musical (same high school that Dick Van Dyke went to) and they were doing a play that Dick Van Dyke did as one of his first "star" parts on Broadway. The high school wrote to him, mentioning this and saying he was welcome to come see the show. From what I heard, he not only came to the show, but came early, rehearsed with the students and performed a song or two with them during the show. (BTW - his TV show is quite funny)

    We are being led by fools. What's worse is the fact that some people are so invested in their democrat/leftist religion that they defend these fools.

    I've just glued myself to the local Ford dealership. They refused to sell me a Ford GT for the price of an EcoSport. Well, when I say 'glued', I'm actually rolling around on the floor of their showroom having a temper tantrum. I didn't want to spend gas money on glue.
