No they're not, thought they'd like you and others to believe they are.

Consider, how much substantive traction do Sqwerty and Marty get here
anymore?

Much?

No.

That's a job partly done, and I'll finish it too.

Book it.

Attacking a child is not amusing though, and many have said really nasty
things about her daughter which shows what kind of character they have,
which is none. BTW, I have defended your choice of foods many times, and if
someone was saying those filthy things about your daughter, or going after
EVERY SINGLE thing you post, I would do exactly the same thing.

Just how much topical traction do you see the "Groupkillas' getting now
as to months passed?

Mmm hmm...

It takes time, but the fumigation is making it batter for all.

You can thank me when the job's done.

Just don't decry the effort, which no one else here had the stones to try.

That's because you have impulse control, which some here do not.

You would think that it would inspire a little empathy on the part of the
poster, but none apparently.

Once I tried filling out a request form for something at Albertsons.
Never had any response of any kind to it.

Although the Constitution does not include the phrase "Separation of
Church & State," neither does it say "Freedom of religion." However, the
Constitution implies both in the 1st Amendment. As to our freedoms, the
1st Amendment provides exclusionary wording:

Congress shall make NO law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
[bold caps, mine]

Thomas Jefferson made an interpretation of the 1st Amendment to his
January 1st, 1802 letter to the Committee of the Danbury Baptist
Association calling it a "wall of separation between church and State."
Madison had also written that "Strongly guarded. . . is the separation
between religion and government in the Constitution of the United
States." There existed little controversy about this interpretation from
our Founding Fathers.

If religionists better understood the concept of separation of Church &
State, they would realize that the wall of separation actually protects
their religion. Our secular government allows the free expression of
religion and non-religion. Today, religions flourish in America; we have
more churches than Seven-Elevens.

Although many secular and atheist groups today support and fight for the
wall of separation, this does not mean that they wish to lawfully
eliminate religion from society. On the contrary, you will find no
secular or atheist group attempting to ban Christianity, or any other
religion from American society. Keeping religion separate allows
atheists and religionists alike, to practice their belief systems,
regardless how ridiculous they may seem, without government intervention.

I agree whole heartedly about Albertsons. No service. I am speaking
of Winco, no others.

KenL, I regularly send questions about store stock (or non-stock) to my supermarket's
email address, easily found at their main website, and I ALWAYS get a response, at
least so far. It takes little time and you get an answer. My local chain is also
"Employee-owned."

You might try going to CVS drugstores and seeing if they have fruit in
little glass jars. They are packed in light syrup and the jars are these
cute round things of about 10oz each. They sell for less than a buck and
the fruits are beautiful - they have to be because they're in glass
jars. They come from China which may be a problem for some people. It's
not for me so that works out pretty good.

It is that feed good feeling she gets from satisfying her compulsion to
quote 50 plus lines of previous threads with a one line comment and the

Grin, since I currently see Julie only on the rebound, I grant the
