Oh no. You can't do that. Politicians are law makers. They make laws for
other people to obey and laws to make themselves richer. Look at the
Senate's fight to stop an increase. Since the last increase in the
federal minimum wage they had given themselves a dozen raises totalling
close to $30,000, more than double the income of someone on minimum wage.

Haven't you dreamed of owning it someday? I knew only one person who
actually had her own copy, complete with magnifying glass.

BTW,. the OED is giving away a "free sample" -- online access through
February 5. One goes to www.OED.com and logs on using trynewoed as both user
name and password.

My kids all worked in local supermarkets when they were in high school.
On their own initiative, they kept a few small bills and change in their
smock pockets to help out "old people" who didn't have quite enough.
None of them ever discussed this practice until one of them brought up a
situation where they used some of their pocket money. Then the other two
chimed in and related how they, too, did this.

That small moment was one of the best days of my parenthood. When you
raise children who are charitable people, you've been a successful
parent. JMTCW

We were given an OED as a wedding present. Actually, it was the Oxford
Shorter, about 8" thick. It gets a lot of use.

Oh, neat! And I'll bet you use it a lot more than those silver candlesticks.

You have the option to take your cart out yourself here, but we weren't
allowed to in italy. Couldn't take the carts out of the commissary. I
still tip though I take out my own cart....I just don't want anyone to
see my messy car.

That's so cool!

As a teen, I worked at a military commissary. No pay. All tips,
despite bagging and carrying out 10-24 fully packed paper bags in
specially built hand truck style carts, each loaded with up to 100 lbs
or more of groceries. More often than not, 2 carts at a time. This
down long ramp to prkg lot. $.50 to $1 was a monster tip. I never
got mad when no tip (rare), as I knew many enlisted families were
living near or over the poverty line. I was glad to have the job.

The way this country treats it's veterans is a crime.
