norte, Americans have been calling their country "America" for more than two centuries. Granted, it's an imperfect word. It's common practice for the US and for Mexico. They will and should continue. Judging from the content you can judge whether one is talking about the rest of the continent or just the USA. I get that you are peeved, like me, but we'll just have to deal with it.

You might prefer calling a US citizen a"United Statesian" rather than an "American". ;)

glad you agree. I believe in Mexico "Norte Americanos" are from "Estados Unidos". From what I have seen, USA citizens calling themselves Americans is unique to USA. I do it too some times.

The new Ley store in SR is selling them in the smaller containers.[/rquote
Even though they are displayed in the large carton the local mini mart sells them individually if you don't want that many.

Eggs and Relationships


I-I thought of that old joke, you know,

this-this-this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy. He thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" And the guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs."

Well, I guess that's pretty much how how I feet about relationships.
You know, they're totally irrational and crazy and absurd and ... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us need the eggs.
