  • Money, orgies, and pedoohelia? Why does that sound familiar?

    Embattled Republican leader Matt Gaetz who will become the attorney general if cleared by the Senate, which is unlikely, has now been accused of attending at least 10 sex parties between 2017 and 2018 when he was serving his first term in Congress.

    Lawyer Joel Leppard representing two women who already testified before the House Ethics Committee said his clients informed the probe panel that drugs were consumed at those sex parties. One of the women claimed to have seen Gaetz having sex with an underage friend up against a games table.





  • Is it odd that exercise makes me less hungry? When I work out in the morning (30-45 minutes on my elliptical machine) before breakfast, I have no particular desire to eat. If I skip breakfast, I don’t really get hungry until lunchtime. On days when I don’t work out and try to skip breakfast, I end up struggling to think about anything other than food all morning.




  • Yes, this is basically the Riddle of Epicurus.

    If God is willing to prevent evil, but not able, He is not omnipotent. If He is able, but not willing, He is malevolent. If He is both able and willing, then whence comes evil? If He is neither able nor willing, why call Him God?

    I like to put it this way: Omniscient, Omnipotent, Benevolent - Choose any two. The evidence around us is ample proof that God cannot have all three properties.


  • That’s a tough one. There is a spray you can get, Bitter Apple. Most cats hate the smell and will avoid it. In your shoes, I would get some and spray a little on a wash cloth or similar and tuck it in the sling. That may keep him from crowding the sling and stepping on your injury. Don’t spray yourself or your sling directly though. If the odor is too offensive and makes him stay away entirely, you can toss the washcloth in the laundry and try something else.

    Bitter Apple Spray - Note, this talks about the spray as a chewing deterrent, but in my experience cats will avoid areas where it’s been sprayed. Just remember to start small. You wouldn’t want your boy to start avoiding you completely.
