    The Ne'er-do-well

    Were there any famous and stylish ne'er-do-wells during the golden era?

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    If you ever got really hungry, well...:eeek:

    Gardening isn't easy, that's for sure. I forgot to mention hunting as a food source in Maine, too, but it's certainly not for everyone! Poor Bambi. ;)

    OH I paid for my deed. Two words: Obstacle course. In front of everyone. Timed. ugh.

    Oprah et al is likely sponsored by companies invested in keeping people fat (Big Pharma). He could have bought a bag of frozen chopped broccoli and a bag of lentils for under $5 and made three days worth of soup.

    That's not true. These are wholesome, low fat, high fiber foods. What puts weight on people is when they consume more than they expend in energy, and eat too much fat.

    Me too. I smoked in gym class when we had it outside. (My pre-"square" days). ;)

    Yet when our country adopted BMI as a metric for healthy weight and abandoned the desirable height and weight charts used for decades as a measure of health, millions of Americans who were considered overweight suddenly were NOT.

    I will NEVER look at those ads in the same way! Cool info!!

    But what poor people have in Maine unlike urban areas is the ability to grow their own produce in the summer. In grad school I was very poor. I subsided on popcorn and pasta, mostly and did not gain weight. Popcorn is very healthy when not slathered with butter, cheap, and high fiber. I...

    Humility is a sign of beauty.

    I was having lunch with an acquaintance who seemed to have an unhealthy preoccupation, no, obsession with her appearance and actually gave me the "people hate me because I'm beautiful" speech. I'm not kidding. Now it might be plausible at first because she is very attractive and some people may...

    I agree!

    This doesn't bother so much. "Airs" do; that invisible arrogance that can permeate the most humble-sounding comments.

    PayPal Tells Buyer To Destroy Purchased Violin Instead Of Return For Refund

    Just because something is in a contract doesn't make it legal.

    PayPal Tells Buyer To Destroy Purchased Violin Instead Of Return For Refund

    I just don't understand how PayPal can legally order the buyer, who doesn't own the item once they have a refund, to destroy it. PayPal doesn't own it. It's the seller's.

    PayPal Tells Buyer To Destroy Purchased Violin Instead Of Return For Refund

    An attorney is likely cost-prohibitive for a 2.5k item, since many charge $400 an hour. I like the court of public opinion when a Goliath like PayPal acts with disregard towards us little people, their customers. This story has been getting a lot of publicity and according to regretsy they are...

    PayPal Tells Buyer To Destroy Purchased Violin Instead Of Return For Refund

    It's possible. My issue isn't with when or why the case was filed, we could go around and around on that one. My issue is with PayPal's policy that states a buyer must destroy an item while the seller loses the money AND their item.

    PayPal Tells Buyer To Destroy Purchased Violin Instead Of Return For Refund

    Yup. And you will get a $25 fee on top of having your money taken. PayPal doesn't have control over credit cards doing a charge back for SNAD. But if PayPal will now ask the buyer to cut up the suit.........
