Reply to Congressman Donald McEachin Dies by Soloemilia
I already have a history of colon cancer in my family and am also predisposed even more because I have PSC and can get other complications. I'm 34 and get screened about every other year. Twice since my diagnosis. The prep sucks, but they have pills instead of drinking a nasty liquid. and it's an amazing nap. Colon cancer is generally a slow growing cancer.

i do the same. sans the wife. yearly physical, optomoligist, and bi annual teeth cleaning. super easy and free with any basic insurance. no reason not to and it will avoid so many expensive problems when you really get old.

Call the billboard company, get a quote, start a gofundme. I'll contribute but I'm way too lazy to organize

I’m not a plumber but my understanding is reinstatement is the term for extending the lining up into any drains. It’s additional cost but wasn’t needed in my case.

We do the same thing actually with our territories. Most of them have their own international football team. They simply never qualify for anything and this aren’t as noticeable as the UK.
The UK as a whole would likely be a stronger team, but who knows if it’d lead to larger issues with team chemistry and whatnot.

Not the dogs fault, they get a bad wrap from shitty owners, too many people who get them put this into them. It's not innate to them. Pits are some of the best family and child friendly dogs there are.

THere's nothing wrong with individuals privately pondering their own political future yesterday, today, last week, or next month.
People are perfectly capable of regretting the loss of a friend/colleague and also pondering their own future at the same time.
McClellan would make a great congresswoman, but as a Virginian I prefer her as a State Senator or Governor dealing with issues that are more day to day concerning my life and my family.
Stoney however can go to Congress and spend his day raising money for his party- the real work of Congress.

In theory, Virginia is no longer partisan gerrymandered. However, the Supreme Court of Virginia is majority republican, and judges these days are partisan.

Some libraries are open late - Libbie Mill is open until 9 most nights of the week, for example. You can bring your own coffee in a mug. :)

the implication is that *your precious doggo* will not be violent until she is, and then it will be too late.
ergo: you should keep her leashed before we find out how violent she can be.

no, it's a useless and completely unrelated observation. The likelihood that a dog will attack is by far a secondary concern. What matters is the outcome of those attacks, when they happen.
If I tell you that when sharks attack you are likely to die, and you reply YEAH BUT GOLDFISH ATTACK MORE OFTEN! then either you are being obtuse on purpose, or you just don't get it.

I always pull for whoever the smallest country left is once the US is eliminated.
Follow up question....how come the UK plays as multiple countries? If that is the case why couldn't we send a team from California and Texas etc...
Would England perform better in the world cup if they didn't dilute their strength like this?

He was a long time fighter for working people and represented working Virginians and our families well. He truly was a friend to the working class of Virginia, and will truly be missed.

Not defending. He needs to rot in hell. But according to this article he was a former state cop. They need to be accurate.
