Mnemao on the savanna had better chance of survival and hunting success if his attention was never fixated on anything and he kept moving, thus the short attention span and high activity level. <br /><br />folded liver.... eurgh! no wonder women had such a high mortality rate, and were so 'delicate'. makes me very glad to be a sturdy girl with a toolbelt.gfidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08452490194253665370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058484359631249331.post-14174825327102199212010-08-17T21:41:10.269-07:002010-08-17T21:41:10.269-07:00I've also read reports by paleontologists that...I've also read reports by paleontologists that people were much taller, stronger (thicker bones), and generally healthier before they started farming. Make me wonder why they bothered especially considering that when white people got to North America not that long ago the continent had been cared for but never farmed. <br /><br />As far as standards of beauty are concerned it was noted by art historians that for hundreds of years wealthy women had been portrayed by portrait artists as having a slightly green cast. It was only discovered by happenstance that women who were corsetted had livers folded double.

At one point, i had to pee so bad, i couldn't hold still. <br />it would have been awesome if we had a toilet in the back. does that make me a redneck?<br />luckily, we finally found a single outhouse by the side of the road, and I made it just in time.<br /><br />there are some coins that survive from the time of cleopatra.

For one thing, you can spell. If you wanted to write the word that starts with 'm' and means idiot I know for sure you wouldn't type 'moran'. Besides, wouldn't you have to be going to the dump with one cracked toilet only to drive home with three others in the back of your truck?<br /><br />I hope you're enjoying a very long and relaxing holiday. It sounds as though you have your work cut out for yourself whether at home or at the ReStore. Now that your truck is lightened up a bit maybe you and Maestro should head out for a little kayaking while the weather is still good.
