I read an article in Wired magazine years ago about how hard it was for medical schools to obtain skeletons to study. They used to be allowed to import skeletons from overseas, but that was disallowed. So I am donating my skeleton to the school of anthropology at the University of New Mexico. I always wanted to be a cowboy in the "old west", so instead of sticking my stinking corpse in the ground somewhere, why not let my bones rest in a box somewhere in New Mexico for students to study? :) Anything else that can be studied or transplanted, they're welcome to that as well. Eyes, liver, kidneys, heart, etc. Maybe my brain, both parents had Alzheimer's disease, so there's a good chance I'll get that too..... maybe if a doctor somewhere can study my brain after the fact, they can stop this terrible disease. Ok, you said one, so skeleton, that's a gimme..... everything else, they can have whatever they want.

@shoaib-reza My son has donated his hair to Locks of Love before. His hair is probably the middle of his back. Good cause. St. Baldrick's is a good cause also. They do the "I'll donate this much money if you shave your head" and the money is for children's cancer. https://www.stbaldricks.org/

RE: Which is Better: waffles or pancakes?
Definitely waffles. Although pancakes are pretty damn tasty. :)

@bushmurry I agree, but the Kroger brand frozen cinnamon waffles are quick and pretty dang tasty. If not having a waffle iron is your only drawback.... I don't have one, but waffles are still the stuff. :)

Hey Dimple (Apparently, they need a longer title)
I enjoyed our conversation. We lost connection or you terminated it, but I very much enjoyed chatting with you. Would like to chat more with you. :) Take care.

RE: Do you think that chivalry is dead ?
It definitely is not. But some women are trying to kill it. I would not date nor marry a woman who is.
