What about Muslim hell in times of GeeHod?

down the road when they came onto the mass "entertainment" scene? Or was it only Porky Pig and Daffy Duck?

...that birds of a fatalistic feather will wind up flocking--and defrocking--together? ...until death do they part?

All you clever ones who think you are so wise? Riddle me that!

...after purchasing abortion that killed fetus and its mother; and life already ended with her demise? How could one be predestined to be saddled for life with such a crime?

...purchased the abortion that killed a fetus and the mother. Lfe ended with the mother's.

has been well establish for over a half-century for use in reconstructive/plastic surgery to cosmetically reduce and re-heal radical skin wounds. But today, watching a Rifleman TV episode in which Federal and Confederate Civil War vets find themselves at odds as a result of the rebel’s resentment over a grievous wound endured since that war, the dispute is resolved in the end when the Federal officer makes suggestion to the renegade reb that harks back to surgical innovations from the war years: in particular, to a “Z” procedure by which a wound could be “turned” surgically to assure virtually absolute certainty of recovery.

In spite of its folksy and yet well-versed description, I recognized the former Yank’s description as being no different from a procedure that by sometime in the 20th century, would become prevalent in the plastic surgery arts as a means of reducing laceration scars by turning them to run with the skin grain in order to effectuate optimum scar reduction and cosmetic correction.

So, what does this community think? Did Z-Plasty really and truly find its origins on the battlefield during the era of pre-antiseptic medicine and pre-anesthetic surgery? Or was that TV episode scene an example—no different from haircuts and wardrobes—of drawing from modern-day artifact to rewrite (and dramatize) a history that did not exist when supposed by script to have existed. Your assessments and conjectures, or references and proofs, are gratefully appreciated.

when 10 points are confiscated for responding to a request for appeal after 10 points were removed for "customer case's" deletion of a question that was never asked by the person losing the points? Background-- When, an answer (yes, an answer) was posted asking an asker to clarify or repost a question that did not ask what it was maybe trying to ask, said question which could not be answered as posted because it had omitted any subject matter, it seems as though a mystery entity called community guidelines required points to be removed somewhere, even if from other thant the offending party. I'm not from the area and it's hard to see how what seems to be simple can get so confusing. Thank you for advise. And, if it is just that points are in short supply, I would just as soon donate some back from time to time if requested that to be asked to make a charade about communities of one and such. I hope this is making sense. So, keep up the good work fellow communities.

I will bury sibling pet cats in a field behind the back yard, about 3+ feet down into mostly clay soil under about 10-inch top soil. One person (A) says to remove and set aside top soil when excavating; and then backfill last with that. Another person (B) says to not bother because the fallow ground will reconstitute iitself in tiers automatically over time. It is in a Mediterranean climate—dry summers, wet winters.

uncatchable in the Big 12; and might even be already the most dominant team in NCAA; or getting there very fast...probably already the one team that can beat any other. Now that is something that reallly justfies the word, amazing. Don't know anyone who thought we would ever see the day.

censored for violation of guidlines. I wanted to provide advice about guidelines and regs to help the "trusted" objector how better to determine true breaches and avoid punishing best answers. But the Q is remove even from my Q & A profilee. Who do I contact to retrieve the Q to make my response as simple as possible? Thanks. PS> I prefer to make the response privately rather than publicly, lest another posting be misapprehanded or feelings get inadvertently hurt maybe.

the insidious and quasi-illegal practice of issuing “Negligent Collision” citations for traffic incidents that the issuer never observed?

Historically, that has been a Texas practice by which government instrumentalities are able to profit from citizen misfortune while effectively denying Constitutional and precedence right to have one’s day in court. The practice is most egregious in cities where city civil service reg's places many police in position of making judgment calls far above their education, intellect, and personal maturity. It is a practice peculiar to Texas as far as this questioner has observed.

Since the state has spent considerable time and resources revamping its statues, in part to remove the jurisprudential stigma that for so long has been a source of ridicule of that state, I would surmise that such a practice would by now have been curtailed...

it melts? Or is it the sighted observer who expands or shrinks? But, what if one could only hold it in hand, but not see it--what then, that altrernate reality?

Not easy to answer briefly. But give it a try.
