I had a case where a tooth came apart and the endodontist begged my dentist
to let him fix it. Now, this endodontist is particularly good, but my
gumption said the tooth was better off removed (heck it cost three times
less). THe endodontist is like any other virtuoso, he looks at every problem
as a chance to do something positive, not negative. It is hard when you are
trained to find solutions to accept the negative option instead. That is
natural human nature, but I don't blame him for trying. I am exactly the same
way. I rarely think of why something cannot be done, I always come up with
ways to solve the problem.

From: "His Highness the TibetanMonkey, originator of the Stop the Bullshit
Campaign"

(Perhaps I was emboldened by this and found myself charging with my
bike against a bus that cut me off. My monkey bike is pure dynamite
demonstrating that small is better and simple is a new way of life.
Luckily, the driver was quick to move out of my way)

I called it such because it was the pharaohs that initiated the
tradition of glorifying themselves and affiliating themselves with the
"gods." The treasures of the kingdom were dilapidated and wasted in
monuments for the "afterlife." It was a curse broken today.

No man is above another because of Power & Money. No man is above
another because he has "god." The Mighty shall fear the Humble, and
not the other way around. This is the way it is meant to be. Thank
you, Egypt. I haven't felt this way since the Fall of the Berlin Wall,
only to enter another era of broken dreams, aka Globalization. I hope
you have the wisdom to deliver.

On some sites that u may be interested in, a box appears asking you to
enter your cellphone number. What about those of us who do not have a
cellphone? This internet is getting crappier than ever.

You get to hang yourself.

No one is holding a gun to your head and is forcing you to use it.

If someone is doing that, call the cops using your normal phone.

Yes it certainly is, when idiots post off-topic to newsgroups.

How does this relate to frugality?

SInce you can't find the right place to post, likely you are confused
about this thing you post about.

The only web sites I have seen that require that sort of information are

Only a plonkable douche would argue that it's ok to return a used product
because it works the way it's designed to but not the way the douche hoped
it would. It would be funny if it weren't so sad. And borderline criminal.
