Sure. I was drinking that "internet trend" more than 50 years ago. I picked up the habit from my (then) teenage aunts who had been doing it since the 1950s.

It's an acquired taste like anything else. Some folks will like it. Some won't.

Has anyone ever accidentally proposed marriage to someone because you were in another country and a gesture that meant nothing to you, is how they propose in said country?

Are you serious? Did you or do you know someone who did?

purpose? how do you purpose marriage?


ot: thinking that weather forecasters (on tv) really have no idea what the hell they're talking about.

"the rain will be moving out overnight and we'll have several days of clear skies."

as i look outside, it's overcast, gray, pretty windy, significantly colder than yesterday.....and rainy

yeah, thanks for the updates and total miss "forecasters".

Same over here. I have to laugh whenever the TV weather forecaster says something like "there'll be showers moving in - some areas will get them and other parts will stay dry"........talk about hedging your bets!

News broadcasts don't even need weather people anymore. Only forecast I trust is Accu Weather and my phone, which is updated like every 30 minutes. Producers could save a lot of $$$ by cutting highly-paid "Meteorologists". They're just there for eye candy anyway.

I knew.

OT:
I hope everything is alright with the training. I had to do it quickly and I did get some wrong but declined to retake the quizes.

wondering who the hell wrote this safety recall notice that i got in the mail.

it's for my truck; and it's a safety recall notice about a possible failure of the output speed sensor in the transmission. and it can cause a sudden downshift into 1st gear. this is literally what it says:

What is the risk?
An unintended downshift into first gear can cause an abrupt wheel speed reduction, which could cause the rear tires to slide until the vehicle speed slows down. This condition could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

What should you do?
Please call your dealer without delay and request a service date for Recall 19S07.
Ford has not issued instructions to stop driving your vehicle under this safety recall. You should contact your dealer for an appointment to have your vehicle remedied as soon as practicable. You can continue to safely drive your vehicle.

uhhhh.....if it's a safety recall for something that can cause a crash, how the hell can i safely continue to drive my vehicle?!

it's like they hired politicians to write this thing. gotta love those contradictions as they try to keep people calm while at the same time telling them they might crash.

^ That is absolutely hilarious and priceless. They should hire editors since they should have the money for them or at least a dozen monkeys.

Sometimes when I'm bored at night, I'll sit on the roof of my house and howl at the moon. I figure if wolves can do it, why can't I...

How many other people have howled at the moon before?



Also, before anyone asked "how did you get on the roof" I shall answer: I have windows on the roof, so it's as easy as climbing out the window.

Never howled. But I’ve barked.

Dumb question but does water have an expiration date? Someone gave me a gallon of spring water and it has sat in my fridge at work unused for a couple of months. I just unsealed it and had a glass and didn't notice anything odd or foul. I tasted some bottled water that had a bit of a pungent taste after it had been sitting around at room temperature a while so maybe as long as it's refrigerated its OK?

Water itself doesn't have an expiration date (indeed, the water we have today has been there for millions of years); however bottled water is an instance where the bottle itself is what "expires": https://www.livescience.com/32636-wh...on-dates-.html

Over time the plastic can leach toxins into the water, this is especially true if the bottle gets warm.* The best way to store water for long periods of time is in glass bottles.

*Do not store bottled water in rooms without air-conditioning in the summer months.

Being in a one-sided relationship where you love her but all she loves is your money, isn’t any better.
