Reminds me of a George Burns' quote Uncle Joe Nov 2019 #98

But it hasn't been discussed in the 2020 cycle yet!!! Just 15, 16,17, 18, 19. Autumn Nov 2019 #118

But this should be discussed extensively - it is existentially important nt PhoenixDem Nov 2019 #63

No. Not a single one. NurseJackie Nov 2019 #112

I think it needs to be discussed more. NurseJackie Nov 2019 #133
