...chains. I also have an idea for safer airline travel. At present, airlines check to see whether the passengers sitting in exit rows understand that they may have to open the door and help other passengers if there is an emergency evacuation.

Today, property prices are as high as those in the rest of metropolitan...
...more frequent “Hi, Angel,” however, might begin to cross the line of acceptability. I mean, who really wants to be an angel anyway? I would also say that regular usage of the jockish and chauvinistic “Babe” is grounds for a gasp, especially if he is comparing you to the cinematic pig. And even the charmingly anachronistic “Dear,” justifies a (quick) eyeroll...
