What about Moana and also that girl heroine with long red hair...Annie Oakley in "Toy Story" movies was really tough...girl in "Frozen" (was that Elsa?)...women of "Wicked"? There must be more strong heroines. How about that princess from China from some years back.

Fastest growing? Quickest to die? Loosest morals? What do you mean by fastest?

Oh gosh. Five days of bliss. Exercise. Historical sites. Lots of good eats. Rekindling an old friendship. Making new ones. Laughing. Hearing funny stories about the previous week and on and on. Thanks for asking

I've worn a corset. I'd be known as a raging whore if I had to wear those every day.

I've worn a corset. I'd be known as a raging wh**e if I had to wear those every day.
Agreed!

Wait, are you agreeing that corsets are instruments of torture? Or are you agreeing that I'd be considered a raging whore?

Torture, of course. And glad I didn't live in those days.

There's already more censorship in America than you might realize. The difference between China and the United States is that Americans willingly vote for the politicians who try to control what they do and willingly watch news that tries to control what they think.

But thanks for the article. "Antler growth is one of the fastest known types of tissue growth in mammals." That's something I never knew. Also, "The most interesting aspect of this antler growth tissue is that, if it is surgically removed and grafted to another part of the deer's body, an antler will grow there."
