Hmm. Didn't think of that. The leg is awesome. Now I'm just waiting for prosthetic brains to become available.
Well, that's condescending (not to mention belittling and uninformed), but you're welcome to your opinion. By the way, you should see Aunt Nan's armor when she shines it up for festival days.
how about this our DNA contains "as many as 145 genes that have jumped from bacteria, other single-celled organisms, and viruses" so how d'ya like them apples? (c:
I have observed that the regional accents around the US reflect immigration patterns. Different mixtures of Italian and Irish affect the accents from Boston to Philadelphia, with a large dose of Yiddish seasoning in parts of New York City. The Iron Crescent around the south shores of the great lakes saw a lot of Polish and Bohemians and accents in Buffalo, Detroit, Chicago and Milwaukee reflect this. The south east was settled largely by people from Scotland and Africa and those influenced the way everyone there speaks. Scandinavians in the upper midwest. Mexicans and people from all other parts of the US in California. I did the DNA thing and it said I was mostly southern European with about 25% native American, which I have always known, and acknowledged as Mexican American. (There is a Boulevard in Tijuana named for a Bernardo O'Higgins. No relation since Higgins is a pen name.) Tamales and Menudo.
That was never the intention (note: Americans on TV, not Americans in general). No offence was intended.
All is forgiven. I'm too lazy to stay offended for more than about thirty seconds., unless you say something mean about my horse. Do not say anything mean about my horse, and we'll be good.
Apparently exercising in the morning is better for women, and for men in the evening. Men are less time-sensitive to muscle building but “evening exercise was found to be "ideal for men interested in improving heart and metabolic health, as well as emotional wellbeing" and then goes on to say “It's not clear exactly why men and women's responses to the timing of exercise were so different, and the researchers say more research is needed” – well it's clear to me. Shall I write to the researchers and explain – it promotes health and emotional wellbeing because you can have a large G&T afterwards!! Obvious when you think about it. We clearly need fewer and better researchers (c:
All I really know about horses is that incredible odour they emit. If out walking and there’s a horse stood at the gate of a field, as there often is, I’ll go and give them a pat (and a sniff).
behold.... the saga of The Lost Birth Certificate: Husband needed my BC for military paperwork. i said it was in the safe. he couldnt find it. I was confused because all of my important documents are locked up. I start to panic. My BC is a foreign BC. I ask my mom how to go about requesting a copy of it. A coworker also helps me try to figure out how to get a copy of it. It was somewhere between contacting the embassy in the US or contacting the consulate in that country and get on a wait list. (months of freak out ensues) last night: husband comes home and i need my passport (unrelated reason). I ask him to open the safe for me. so im looking through the safe and.... TA DA! my BC. THIS MORNING: I tell my mom I found my BC. Mom: oh thats nice. you have the copy. I have the original in my safe. ........... ok, i knew i had a copy, but why didnt you tell me you had the original???? you let me freak out for months, even told me how to get a replacement????????? and also, hubby telling me he couldnt find it in the safe WHEN I FOUND IT IN THE SAFE!? Random thought and moral of the story:
I was thinking the whole time—surely you didn't just take his word for it, you did open the safe and look, didn't you? Didn't you?
Came across the adage "sometimes you have to shoot the engineers to get the product released" and honestly feels very relatable with editing my WIP.
I think I found my dream re-incarnation, if there is such a thing. The nature preserve by my house is using controlled grazing by goats to keep down invasive and "junk" vegetation. So this farmer brings in his goats from time to time, they put them out in an area temporarily fenced with electric fence, put in water and salt dispensers, and let the goats alone for a few days. They wander around, eating whatever they want, sleeping whenever they want, and seem perfectly content. Especially the billy goats. They tend to be a bit more laid-back, effort-wise, and a bit gruff and surly, personality-wise. They mostly lay around, chewing their cud, indifferent to their emanations, and generally blissing-out -- no doubt getting a bit randy from time to time, judging by the number of baby goats ("kids"). No predators, no timeclocks, no responsibilities. So I think I would kind of like that next time around. Of course, my wife says I'm almost there now.
You haven't lived until you do engineering when the boss is an artist with a chip on their shoulder because some future engineers in college were condescending jerks. I took the grief for that. Got shot at because there is no magical "high tech" material that will allow you cantilever a five hundred pound load ten feet from a wall with only a quarter inch of contact. Superman flying from a comic book store attached only at the toe will not fly. This ass hat insisted it was possible. He saw it on the internet.
Well it’s Wednesday today, which for this particular week is Friday for most of us here in the UK. Apparently some old bag is celebrating her 70th birthday or something, and we’re all invited to the party.
