Thank you froggy baby, but really it only takes one thing. Both parties have to consistently prioritize the needs of their child over their own needs. There is no excuse for cruelty and pettiness when it can cause lifelong harm to an innocent.

I'm furry (been growing it since August). Live on the edge of a small wood. Am I valid?

This runestone was erected by a woman, Sandö. Perhaps her husband and brothers were killed while away on a raid, or perhaps disease or a farming accident took them. We will never know, but their memory lives on.

This runestone in Linköping, Sweden was erected in the first half of the 1000s. It was discovered in 1726, built into the wall of a local church building which itself dates to the 1100s. Stone churches were built all over Sweden in the 1100s, and runestones were often integrated into the masonry. This may have been a way to symbolically bring the runestone's commemorated loved ones into the church. In many cases, only 100 years separate a runestone's erection from the building of the church within which it became walled, so the commemorated would likely have had close relatives in the community.
Note the cross at the top - Christianity was a new religion in Scandinavia in the 1000s. Erecting runestones was expensive, and was done exclusively by the wealthy as a statement of prestige and to advertise their adherence to the new faith.

It seems appropriate to ask everyone what country they support in the Olympics. Is your first choice to root for your home country, or do you instead root for an individual athlete/successful team? If you can't choose your home country, how do you choose an alternate country to support? Is it based on geographical proximity, or some other factor? Ultimately, what is YOUR definition of the boundary between "us" and "them."

Yes but they are libertarians too for the most part, so quoting Neil Peart should be ok.

Better the pride that resides
In a citizen of the world
Than the pride that divides
When a colorful rag is unfurled

I thought we'd have a romantic dinner. Can anyone suggest a good wine pairing for roast mouse?
