Food tastes good.
What redeeming benefit to society do guns offer?

When your registration was up around 2001 you’d get a “replacement plate” sticker to put on the upper right of the plate. Then when you paid the registration renewal the new plates came, it had the new expiration sticker and plates in an envelope. Then you mailed the old ones back in the envelope the new ones came in. But, at the time many vehicles didn’t have 2 plates, maybe some had theirs in a garage and never sent both back. I know the car I had the front plate got mangled in a fender bender so I only sent one back.

The lack of inventory is crazy. In my town there is exactly one 4 bedroom home under 500k and it’s been on the market for months. Everything else in that range that comes up is under contract with days.

Well, its more the over saturation. There's like 50 greek pizza joints within 10 minutes, but I would have to go like 35 mins to get something else that wasnt greek style

Using the 80’s is not apples to apples. Yes rates were in the teens, but there was active new construction and home prices were a fraction of what someone is paying today for a 50’s/60’s build.

Never said it wasn’t life, but it’s not a baby. A baby has a distinct definition, which means born. Until viability the fetus is wholly dependent on the mother. If she chooses not to be a fetus incubator, that’s her choice.
After viability if the government wants to make laws (which is what Roe v Wade allowed for) fine with me. With 99 percent of abortions before viability and most abortions afterwards are when the life of the mother is threatened and/or there is no chance of survival like ectopic pregnancies, a minor issue in the scheme of things.
I may up my donation as you’re annoying

You could always get pizza somewhere else? I mean, not every pizza here is greek made. Stop eating Greek pizza so much if you're tired of it

I was thinking about the Athenians specifically but also Colony Diner. I think most diners, at least in CT are Greek owned tbh. Maybe even outside of CT but I can’t really speak on that, I don’t usually eat at diners if I travel out of state.

Yup. The Athenian group for one, obviously. Cromwell Diner was as well at one point.

I support proper sex education. I also support people taking responsibility and not killing a human.
A cell on Mars is life but a fetus is not?

It was originally called Zisi's, I believe. Until the original owner either died or left and then they changed the name at that point. My dad's parents were in Colchester, I remember eating pizza from that restaurant back in the 1980s.

I don't recall them replacing plates. New registrations got new plates. Old registrations kept old plates. That's why there's still some around on older vehicles.

Your prayers to your made up sky BFF are sure to have an impact.
Also, not a baby.
Don’t like abortion, don’t get one. Support sex Ed and proper family planning, though you strike me as one of those really weird guys who goes to those creepy abstinence dances with his daughter

I can't remember the timing exactly of the change, but it was in the mid 90s I think. They also expanded the menu a little bit, but not a ton. My dad's mom passed about 15 years ago, so I haven't been in a long time, but I'm glad to hear elsewhere that it's still there. Colchester likes to keep stuff around.
