Just curious how many pairs of shoes, sandals, boots, high heels etc do you own?

Back in the early 90s a few other companies were trying to get in on their teenage fighting creature mascot craze following the Ninja Turtles.

One of them was a group of amphibian dudes named the Battletoads!

I want to reduce to two heroes instead of four. Which two should I build around now?

I realize having too many recurring villains devalues life and death in a comic. To me, most characters should remain dead when they're dead, unless immortality is their super-power anyway.

I spend a lot of time developing several villains who are slain right away by the heroes, but I also have a collection of recurring villains who simply never die for the first several installments of battles between them and the heroes.

I think a healthy balance of both "kill them off" and "reuse them" are allowed.

You, as in you personally, not a group of people to which you belong.

My Ex left me and the main reason was that I didn’t make her feel special. We did 50/50, she said she is used to guys paying for the majority and that I didn’t gift and buy her flowers.

One thing is that I do make a lot of money and my family is really rich.

Our relationship was very intense 4 months long and met the parents and talked a lot about marriage. I did gift her but not expensive stuff. she was very special to me and very beautiful.

Did I make a big mistake there? She isn’t poor, makes okay money.

There is a correct answer.

It's illegal to do that in Germany and Austria.

Today you talk about an LGBT agenda, yet in the past you were pressuring people into heterosexuality. Literally, your ancestors were telling our forefathers: 'Stop this fagg... behavior.' While Turks abandoned sodomy during the 19th century through Westernization, today people are becoming homosexual through Westernization.

The French traveler Jean de Thévenot wrote the following observation about 17th-century Istanbul: 'The Turks are famous for pederasty, and it is a very widespread sin among them. They do not conceal it much, and one of the main subjects of their songs is either this kind of disgusting love or wine.'

During the period when the Ottomans Westernized in an autocratic manner The great 19th-century scholar and official historian Ahmed Cevdet Pasha also mentioned pederasty/sodomy in his work Maruzat: 'Those fond of women increased, while admirers of young men decreased. Homosexuality seemed to disappear into the ground. The long-standing love and interest toward young men in Istanbul turned toward girls. Âli Pasha, fearing foreign criticism, tried to conceal his taste for boys.'

What an interesting world—only the colors change, but the West remains the same West!

The Innerer Schweinhund is a modern German cultural expression which refers to the lazy, procrastinating voice inside your head that you have to overcome to get things done.

I came across this phrase when watching a War film and a German called someone a 'Schweinhund', and I looked up the meaning, and as I expected I found it to be an old -fashioned German swear word, as well as the meaning I'm telling you about.

I thought you might like to know this word, and hopefully you will not listen to your 'Innerer Schweinhund' when it speaks to you, or at least you will know the situation you are involved in.

What is your opinion?
