Undercover task force cites 17 businesses for selling alcohol to minors

While some stores post a sign, "We sold a winning lottery ticket," perhaps there should be a sign these 17 could post, "We got caught selling alcohol to an underage customer."

What is the best tattoo you have seen on a person?

I recently saw one that prompted me to ask the person a question. In a small script on a gal's wrist were the words, "Believers Never Die." I thought it might mean that believers in Jesus never die. ;-) She explained it was a band name. A band name to her, a promise to me! :-)

Turning the tide: As traditional churches see interest wane, upstarts draw in young people

"Jenkins demonstrated his unorthodox style on March 3 when he challenged the married couples of his congregation to have sex with their spouse once a day for seven consecutive days. He called it the 'sexperiment challenge.'"

Is he willing to challenge the unmarried couples to refrain from sexual activity (secondary virginity) until marriage?

Do you have any upcycled or repurposed items?

I repurpose money that other people lose or leave behind by donating that money to charity.

Sound Off: When is the first KU basketball game?

I had the same reaction. (See my longer reply above.) I have sent LJW an e-mail suggesting a correction, or at least a clarification.

I'll be there Sunday!

Sound Off: When is the first KU basketball game?

Buzz. Wrong answer... Of course, we all "know" that they're talking about the men's basketball game. However, since the question did not specify, and there have been stories about how this is the year to see the great women's team with Angel and Co., I feel compelled to answer: KU women's basketball plays on Sunday, October 28, at 2:00 p.m. Opponent will be Washburn Lady Blues.

Report says driver of car hit by train legally intoxicated; no one injured

I have often wondered about that phrase as well. If one is intoxicated (more than .8), isn't that ILLEGAL? On the other hand, is a tea-totaller illegally sober???

Tiller's abortion clinic sold

Fair question. I am not terribly knowledgeable about gestational diabetes, so I turned to Wikipedia. From what I read, this is generally not life-threatening for the mother, so I would not call that an illness requiring an abortion for its cure. In addition, the webpage for the American Diabetes Association does not mention abortion as a treatment for gestational diabetes. Yes, I would consider an ectopic pregnancy an illness related to pregnancy.
