Please support the Forum by using the Amazon Link this Holiday Season

Amazon has started their Black Friday sales and there are some great deals to be had! As you shop this holiday season, please consider using the forum's Amazon.com link (listed in the menu as "Amazon Link") to add items to your cart and purchase them. The forum gets a small commission from every item sold.

Additionally, the forum gets a "bounty" for various offers at Amazon.com. For instance, if you sign up for a 30 day free trial of Amazon Prime, the forum will earn $3. Same if you buy a Prime membership for someone else as a gift! Trying out or purchasing an Audible membership will earn the forum a few bucks. And creating an Amazon Business account will send a $15 commission our way.

If you have an Amazon Echo, you need a free trial of Amazon Music!! We will earn $3 and it's free to you!

Your personal information is completely private, I only get a list of items that were ordered/shipped via the link, no names or locations or anything. This does not cost you anything extra and it helps offset the operating costs of this forum, which include our hosting fees and the yearly registration and licensing fees.

Stay safe and well and thank you for your participation in the Forum and for your support!! --Deborah

  • An honorable request. My contribution:

    Almost every classic text on writing recommends the simple solution over a complex alternative. When it comes to word choices, prose is improved in most circumstances when complicated alternatives such as connivance are rejected for words such as plot, scheme, or conspiracy.

    • Excellent work, hack. Although, that's more a paraphrase of Mark Twain than an original thought.


      Tomorrow's word will be "plagiarism".

      Plagiarism.

      • I prefer the Egg McMuffin. If you going with a breakfast sandwich with sausage, the Sausage Egg Crossainwich from BK is far superior than McDonalds. That's science.

            This is a bad take. Burger King uses grade B sausage and microwaves their faux croissants.

            • It is no connivance on my part to claim the thought as my own. I am but a simple purveyor of complete nonsense, as well as facts deemed relevant at the time.

                It's all right. It's all right. It's ALL right.

                  Who can argue with this "logic"?

                    • And now for my favorite bit of incredibly pompous buffoonery.
                      What Frank Sinatra taught me about art, innocence and experience.

                      • I had a BK breakfast sandwich once.

                        ONCE.

                          • I had one once. I was not moved.

                            • I was lucky I was born with extremely cheap taste in food. To me nothing beats the simple pleasure of a gas station cheeseburger.
