| What is a Pikey? Slang for "Gypsy" or "Travelling Community", apparently. ra I wonder if Deep Hour just thought that everyone discriminated against them so it was OK to trash talk . perhaps Deep Hour reasoned that since He/She was on WP, (and they don't mix with 'pikers' just assumed there was no p... |

| I?ve been asked again and again, ?How do you want to be remembered?? I usually say I don?t care, but that?s not true. I want to have accomplished something, to have made a contribution to the world. It would be wonderful if just one person looked at my life and said, ?If he could overcome that, may... |

| . :lol: This is why I find manga and anime easier to read and watch because the characters' faces are usually more simplistic and easier to remember and recognise, and put names to their faces too. For this reason, I'll always prefer manga to English or American comics. I love what I call "cartoons... |

| I too, have prosopagnosia (face blindness) only I didn't know it for many decades past when it would have helped to know. I used to be very skeptical about "Milk Carton Kids" because I thought EVERYONE had this problem with remembering faces. Even folks I remember vividly from my past, I can't get t... |

| It is really not that long ago (1976) when being a Democrat meant you roasted live babies on a iron pike over open fires and danced around the entrails. During the Reagan years I was openly laughed at in the streets for wearing a "I'm Proud to be a Democrat" button. So it goes around, and it comes a... |

| Yeah I get grief and insulted for being a Republican. Politics is never easy its a game of chance and strategy. Heck there are people that dump on Rush Limbaugh all the time and he is just telling the truth of what needs to be said. Putting your faith in Mr. Limbaugh seems to be an 'iffy' prospect,... |

Go to the interview, don't worry about accepting the job or not until they actually make you an offer. I know it may seem that way, but talking to people on a stage for a few ... |
