--- Quote from: Morituri on 19 Jun 2016, 01:38 ---For what it's worth, I sort of think it's disrespectful of parents to choose a name for their child before they've even met them and started to learn who they are. And a bit odd that people no longer have a traditional rite of passage wherein they choose their adult name for themselves.
Seriously, get to know the kid for a week or two before you pick a name. Introduce the child to the rest of your family, see if anyone has insight into who they are and what name will suit them. Might be a good chance for the family to discuss what they hope for the child and what sort of life they can provide and how.
I recognize that I'm more-or-less alone in this opinion, aside from a few others whose general attitudes and culture are rooted in a different century. And of course governments now want a name stamped onto a child immediately for a birth certificate. But I still find the modern custom baffling and bizarre, no matter how many times I see it and no matter how normal it seems to everyone else.

I would have gotten something among the lines of "Colicky" if it were just for the first week.

I wonder if either of them would be fans of SYRSA ?

(The problem with this is, most of them are European, and therefore won't work on US power. Step-up transformers usually aren't even the answer, because they're using synchronous motors that are set up for 50 Hz.)

I might be a little late to this but my mum "borrowed" mine years ago so they were available to 60hz utilities. The trick is finding one in either a sally-ann or some other thrift style store. Pawn shops I avoid except to giggle at the ludicrous asking prices. Yard sales in older neighborhoods are also good.
RE: tin foil hat, most times it is aluminum these days. Also they have been proven [science FTW] to colect and concentrate signals in the bowl. So hey, great for boosting the signal strength for greater fidelity and clarity of thos mind control signals.

Are Boy Scouts really that rare?

You've seen people who are involved in a disaster immediately take advantage of other victims as their response?
--- End quote ---
Yes. Just a few months ago a police officer was given a slap on the wrist for sexually assaulting an accident victim instead of helping her. There are plenty of cases of people who make it their business to bilk people who have just been through a tragedy. Have you never heard of the term 'ambulance chaser'? And that's mild compared to those who will bully and use the lack of knowledge of people who have been through disasters to accept a lower claim that they are due in the insurance industry, or just people who will see those reeling from disaster as easy marks. It's all to sadly common.

By "involved", I meant "another victim". Which Clinton was, even though he didn't suffer the major losses that Brun did.

That's a fine distinction of which Renee is entirely unaware. She only knows that he was there at the bar.
