Tentacle plants are safe for pets and small children, right? Sorry to hear about T's job, great timing but at least it happened at a time when you are working. My car has been needing some work the last two years as well but it is 12 years old now so it was expected. |

Sure! ... By a certain definition of "safe"... Maybe. Probably. That's fair. Hopefully the repairs necessary aren't major. How have you been feeling? T: I think I forgot to put the ketchup back in the fridge. Me: That's okay. It won't hurt it. You can leave ketchup out for awhile. T: It won't go bad? Me: Not for a long time. I think generally it just gets darker and sweeter. T: Like me in a tanning bed

As do I. Probably is good, right? I have been very tired. My home is very loud which means I probably average 4 hours of sleep a night. So I more or less just go through most of my day in a daze. My family never refrigerated ketchup so now that I have started using some I still don't. At least he does not want a spray on tan. I hope everyone is doing well so far this new year. |

Ketchup contains tomato and vinegar. The vinegar will protect it some, but the tomatoes will eventually mold. Geezer, Have you seen Dylan lately? We miss him so. Does he live in a dorm, or does he take the bus to school? |

Bruce! *tackles* ![]() I'm sorry you're so tired. Why is your home so loud? He tans naturally on the rare occasions I manage to drag him outside. Otherwise he's so pale he glows in the dark. His heritage is Irish and Native American. Hi Dale. He probably rides to school on a sea of sparkles. Edited by Suzu, Jan 21 2018, 03:36 PM.

From -30 degrees F to +50 is a wonderful thing in the winter. It feels like Spring, even though there is still snow on the ground. A female deer and her two fawns come up to the house after dark to eat corn right off the deck. We still have Christmas lights outside frozen in the snow, which provide a nice backdrop for taking pictures of the deer. We are playing cards on the kitchen table looking at the deer.

Dale, mould is a constant problem here as I am sure you are aware. It is always good to have deer for company. What card games do you play? When I lived with my family we played a lot of cards but now I mainly play solitaire online, Australian Easy I believe. I have not seen Dylan since he was down for Christmas. He lives on his own but is probably not lonely. I am not sure how he gets to class but I am sure sparkles and glitter are involved as Alora suggested. Alora! If you believe what we are told online, I missed you by 42 minutes. I am on a main road so there is constant traffic in the daytime including large trucks. Worse still there is a set of traffic lights outside my picture window and idiots on unmuffled motorcycles and hot rod pickup trucks sit at the red lights trying to destroy their engines. Add to that half of the people on my floor leave their doors open all day so I hear the televisions at times and the overly loud conversations all day. Add to that, the super is an arsehole and when he is here he does not talk, he bellows. He tries to hide his laziness with a loud voice. I think be believes that if he distracts people with constant loud conversation they will not notice that he does not do anything. Then there are the full volume arguments that frequently break out in the hallway. It would be interesting to see your husband playing Green Ghost, he must have a similar complexion to mine. I have Scottish, Irish, English heritage and if you go back far enough we came from Northern Europe. My mother had the blonde gene and auburn hair, my father had black hair so I have genes for blonde and black hair with pasty skin. An odd effect of this is when I am exposed to sun it can appear that my hair or most of it has disappeared.After 160 years I have acquired a smigen of colour. hope everyone is well and keeping busy. |

Geezer, We play Hearts, Smear, Cribbage, 500, War, UNO, Royal Rummy (which includes Poker), and Solitaire. When I was riding a bus to H.S., it took an hour to get to school. We placed a board between the back seats, and I taught others to play cards from the Book of Hoyle. After I won another boy's lunch money, his mother called the H.S. Principal on us. He made an announcement over the loudspeaker warning us country kids from playing cards on the bus. He was a stern principal, and he manned a large paddle with holes in it. I witnessed him using it on two boys, who skipped school in the middle of the day to go see a movie. He caught them as they slipped back in through a ground floor window. They had to bend over his desk, while he used the paddle on them. We stopped playing cards for money on the bus.Do you have a way to contact Dylan? I wish you both a Happy Valentines Day coming soon.

Hurray for the Norwegian Olympic team. Update: As of Feb 28th, they've racked up the most medals (39) - 14 gold, 14 silver, and 11 bronze. Germany is 2nd with 31 medals - 14 gold, 10 silver, and 7 bronze. Canada is 3rd with 29 medals - 11 gold, 8 silver, and 10 bronze. Hats off for the Canadians too for their excellent performances. The U.S. is in 4th place with 23 medals - 9 gold, 8 silver, and 6 bronze. The Netherlands, S. Korea, and Russia are in 5th, 6th, and 7th place. Followed by Switzerland, France, and Sweden. Sweden has 14 medals - 7 gold, 6 silver and 1 bronze. I'm a Norwegian & Swedish American, so I'm glad for them. I also have Hockey ties to Newfoundland, Canada. Edited by Dale, Feb 28 2018, 03:22 PM.

I'M NOT DEAD ![]() Now that that's out of the way- that sounds awful Bruce, especially if when one is the type who prefers solitude. You don't hear much out here besides coyotes and the occasional car. Your super sounds about par for the course, though. A friend recently had the pipes burst in his apartment after the landlord refused to fix the broken furnace. His only compensation was taking 50 dollars off that month's rent after my friend fixed them himself with duct tape. My family is Irish/Scottish and I myself am some percentage Mexican/Spanish. My natural hair color has settled on brown with some red tint but currently I'm in the process of bleaching it to platinum blonde. I've been out of data for some time because the asshat who pays us is never, ever on time sending the check. It varies from a mild to severe inconvenience. I hope everyone is doing well. |

Fart means speed in Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish. The History of “Fart” The history of the word “fart” is almost the opposite of an actual fart. The word “fart” goes back at least 800 years to Middle English and possibly beyond. A real fart is brief, usually lasting only a few seconds. When I was a kid, the dictionary defined “fart” as “an explosion between the legs,” but the dictionary didn’t provide a picture of one. Today the definition, according to Merriam Webster is “to expel intestinal gas from the anus.”I was surprised that the word “fart” had a history. It goes all the way back to Middle English as “farten” or “ferten.” Old High German had a word “ferzan” which meant “to break wind.” Old Norse’s “freta” also had the same meaning. FLATULENCE vs. FART “Flatulence” is a cool word. “Flatulence” is the sophisticated way of saying “the expelling of gas.” The problem with “flatulence” is that it’s a noun. There is no verb form of “flatulence.” You could say “I flatulented in the elevator” or “I flatulated in line at the grocery store,” but then you’re just making up words. So if you pass gas, and you need a verb to describe what you did and you don’t want to say “fart,” then you need to use a euphemism. Some euphemisms for the verb “fart” include: * passing gas * breaking wind * letting one rip * thickening the air * contributing to global warming * cutting the cheese What did William Shakespeare say? “A fart by any other name would smell just as foul.” Shakespeare is right (even if my quote isn’t). “Flatulence” may be a more acceptable word, but flatulence smells just as bad as a fart.

The euphemism for fart in this household is "trying to kill me". T and I take great and immature delight in passing gas as loudly as possible when alone. Or in Ryan's room (although that one is mostly me). I was very proud the day he turned around with a look of utter disgust and informed me that he heard the explosion of my behind over the music blaring through his expensive noise-cancelling headphones. |

Hi Geezer and Dylan, If you don't have a blizzard yet, I'm sure that you'll get one tonight. We call it a Nor'easter here in the U.S. What do you call it in N.S.? It has to be snowing steady for 3 hours at 35 m.p.h. and visibility down to 1/4 mile to call it a blizzard. We have winds up to 60 mph and horizontal snow. I don't even have a Sou'wester. See attachment.

Hello everyone, I am here but have not been responding as my computer is working so poorly it takes forever to do anything. Dale, yesterdays storm was called a nor'easter. Most of the snow is gone today, unusual for Atlantic Canada but I do not mind not having to shovel my car out this time. Hi Jordan, welcome back. We missed you as well. |

Your computer and my phone appear to be in the same boat, Bruce. I like to think they are lost at sea, rambling at a volleyball. You know I have been desperately trying to think of a way to incorporate a "Wiiiiiiiilson!" joke into one of our exchanges for the last three years. Sadly it has never quite worked. My mouth and jaw are actively throbbing on the lower left side. My wisdom teeth erupted early (I think I had them all by 17), but I'm praying there's an extra as otherwise I'm afraid it must mean something is infected. I don't even know what I'm going to do if it persists (this is the fourth day of pain). I don't have dental coverage. We have a flat tire, and my phone service expires tomorrow. On the upside, Sasha is spayed and recovering well. |

All I can add is although I do not have black hair I do have the traditional full hair of a Wilson however it appears it may be Spalding now. It would not work anyway, I would immediately go with Home Improvements. Your wisdom teeth could be causing an infection as well, depending on how they grew in. Wisdom teeth cause some sort of problem for so many people, it is too bad we retain them. I wish you luck with your tire and your phone. I hope the situation is improving for you Jordan. |

Guys, I just realized there was rules here.... and I just read them... Bruce, me too. However I have an interview tomorrow, so I’m nervous. I hope everyone is doing well, I miss y’all. Suzu, I luckily got all of my wisdom teeth taken out. But I hope you get better, sorry about your coverage though. Edited by Jordand08, Mar 19 2018, 10:17 PM.
