is aol still around??? aol is a joke...a has been. i thought they'd go under once everybody finally figured out yrs ago that they were being way overcharged for their lousy service.
And it took me seven years to figure it out...lol...
I understand and sympathize with your frustration. But your remark shows tremendous insensitivity to the mentally impaired--(or those "experiencing an alternate reality"). I'm trying to clean up MY act---no more ordering "nuts" as Christmas gifts....I won't even purchase a tube of "Crazy-Glue" anymore.

Ha! Didn't take me too long to figure that out, thankfully. I'm with you; it continues to puzzle me how they stay in business. Massive cash infusions from parent Time-Warner?!?

Canada is a lot whiter than the US, but the term "visible minorities" that they use up there is a lot cooler than the zealous way we try to divide all the races in the US
Whoa, is that one of the levels macmeal might have skipped when he explained the process of evolution of the term 'bum' to 'homeless'? His quote from an earlier post in this thread:
*"Bums" and "Winos" have become "the jobless", and eventually the emotionally-appealing "homeless".
I think 'stinker' may have come after 'wino' and before 'jobless'.
You're close, but no---actually,"stinkers" evolved into the "unsanitary"..who then were softened to the "aromatically obvious"........who then became "occasional bathers", and eventually, in a more empathetic tone, "the hydrologically deprived"...but you're learning...
Location: On another site. This one is lame :) Trying to give it a second chance though.

I think it's an outrage that this little WHITE kid should speak so disrespectfully of others. He should be made to apologize by writing "I'm Sorry" 100 times on the BLACKboard...
after all, if he's allowed to get away with the expression "Brown People", it's only a matter of time before the little gutter-mouth begins spouting off about "White People", or "Black People"....and after that, who knows? Better to "nip it in the bud"...before he spots his buddy with a box of Crayolas, and refers to him as a "person of Color".
