He has to be paying at leaSt 3,500 a month for that, probably a bit more.

Probably, but if he doesn't have several penthouses, he isn't rich enough to rob!

The party was founded in 1974 by Russell Veh and several other neo-Nazis. The National Socialist League was unique in restricting its members to gay Nazi men.

Carl Sagan, astrophysicist and atheist wrote:"Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.
When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages,
when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling,
that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...
The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both."

But you won't. Whenever there are ginger cookies, you'll happily stuff them in your mouth until there's nothing left but crumbs and regret.

Say what you want, but the system works. And you take part in creating the system, so you've earned a cookie.

You can probably also get a roll of peppermint in those places.

Oh yes, I think so. They're quite nice places, those kinds of pharmacies. Some of them even have drive throughs where you can pick up your prescription at.

Cocaine was also sold in pharmacies in the past, back then it was a perfectly legal medicine.

Ah yes, never forget. And of course, that's how Coca-Cola got its name, because it had cocaine in it.

Well it's a legal medicine, just not over the counter or even with a prescription, but as an anesthetic for licensed hospitals.

When one of our teachers was in uni, he broke his nose and dislodged it so the hospital gave him some cocaine and proceeded to put his nose back in its place.

He wandered out into the city and a nurse had to go find him.
It's just me against the world.
