Your friends and family, respectively. The phrase dated back to the 1300 and originally meant "fellow country men" and "family members". It gradually has taken on a different meaning which we know today.
It is not a phrase that most people use nowadays, expect for Asatruar, as Kith and Kin is imporant in Asatru.
The mead horn is again passed, as praise, stories, and boasts are exchanged. Those assembled forge bonds of kith and kin with each other, deepening friendships and family relations with this holy sharing.

A saying that âNice Guysâ use to explain why they donât have a girlfriend. Being too stupid to realize the real reason is because they are feel sorry for themselves and blame others for their lack of success in life, not because they are âtoo niceâ. See Nice Guy.
Men who say ânice guys finish lastâ almost always seem to follow it up with how women enjoy being treated like shit showing their true misogynistic colors.

A powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation; feeling disconnected and alienated from other people.
The first recorded use of the word lonely was by William Shakespeare.
"Loneliness is the worst pain in this world. It constantly eats away the person's heart, and can cause the person to hate, to feel enraged--the same rage and hate that can cause one person to kill another. It is like a wound of the heart; the type of wounds that cannot go away with a kiss or a hug. The only thing that can make this great pain go away is love and compassion, another human heart to pull them out of this hell."- Princess Diana

Vega is the brightest star in the constellation Lyra and is the fifth brightest star in the sky. The name of the star comes from Arabic and means "The Swooping Eagle". As part of the constellaion Lyra it represents a jewel set in the body of the harp.
Vega is only 25.3 light years from Earth. It is a main sequence star like our sun, however it is twice as massive and burns fifty times brighter than our sun. Vega's current age is between 200 and 500 million years (Our sun is about 4.6 billion years old).
Vega was the first star to ever be photographed, have it's spectrum analized, and it's parallax measured. It has also been in many Science Fiction novels and movies, such as "Contact." And in 14,000 AD Vega will become the North Star, replacing Polaris in the position in the sky.
Since Vega is so much more powerful and younger than our Sun, scientists doubt that life has evolved in it's solar system.

A Big-Box Store is a large, free standing rectangular single floor store built on a concrete slab. They are incredibly wasteful and ugly to look at having no aesthetic value what so ever. Typically have very large parking lots with no trees.
Also sometimes called a superstore, megastore, or supercenter.
Walmart is a good example of a big-box store.

1. In biology: Descent with modification. Change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, as a result of natural selection acting on the genetic variation among individuals, and resulting in the development of new species.
2. In everyday speech: A gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form.
1. Darwin's theory of evolution does for biology what quantum mechanics does for physics.
2. It is interesting to note the evolution in computers over the years.
