What did you learn today?


(Running from stupidity) #785

Not suggesting it was, just saying that any old excuse can be a trigger if an admin decides they feel like closing something, and one flag can be it.

I’m not going to swallow 1600 Cals worth of butter just because it springs from one example in one book

Nope, me either.

I’ll take up my sincere question in other thread.

Many thanks.

I learnt that stomach growling is not an indication of hunger and it’s safe to ignore.


#787

I also learnt not to look up ‘keto’ on Twitter. So many stupid people, vegans with blatant agendas, bloodsuckers hawking useless keto products and so, so much Jillian Michaels. It really is a hive of scum and villainy. Urgh…


(Running from stupidity) #788

Not been on Twitter for years, and man, do I appreciate that so much.


(Hyperbole- best thing in the universe!) #789

I learned today that alison.com offers free online courses with unaccredited diplomas or certificates. One might take, for example, media studies.

The reviews I found said the education was worth the time and effort you put in. Might be worth a try, the media studies class is about 15 hours. So not expecting something comprehensive, but if the course is well designed that’s enpugh time to learn something valuable.

They don’t have a class for translation work, which I would like to learn, but there are 1000 courses, so bound to be something interesting!


(Running from stupidity) #790

Interesting. I’m taking a media one now just to see what I think of it.


(Hyperbole- best thing in the universe!) #791

I’d love to hear your opinion!

And dont even think about air transport. My son had to fly from Fargo, North Dakota to Chicago for heart surgery ect. (long story, emergency illness when far from home) and was given a bill a bill for over $30,000. And I laughed becsuse they gave an option of three payments over the next year or so. Crazy! However at that time my husband was out of work and my son had medcaid. We did not have to pay and could never have had we had to. ( He survived though it was VERY touch and go and he was hospitalized from May until August. )

I had to make an account see for myself if Trump was actually writing those tweets (yes, he was) but soon after I opted out of the Twattersphere.


(Running from stupidity) #795

It’s fairly easy to tell which ones he’s written himself :slight_smile:


#796

We will agree to disagree on this. :slight_smile:


(Running from stupidity) #797

I forbid this. Agreeing to disagree is for the weak. FIGHT IT OUT.


(Hyperbole- best thing in the universe!) #798

To the Thunderdome!

Haha, that instantly made me think of Wizard of Oz! Put em up @dlc96_darren

@PaulL, I had two HUGE plates of roast, for dinner last night, and nothing else.

I’ll let you know what happens. :wink:

This comment has been deemed worthy of a LIKE! :heart:

Explanation (click here):

I really want to give your comment a “like”, but the forum software has indicated to me that I am currently ALL OUT, because of some arbitrary limit of “likes” one can give out, in some arbitrary time span.

Not having the ability to “like” your comment leaves me with few choices.

To remedy this, I have chosen to create this comment to explain that I like your comment, but I can’t “like” it right now.

Which, honestly, goes against the forum guidelines of keeping things “tidy”.


Keep It Tidy

Make the effort to put things in the right place, so that we can spend more time discussing and less cleaning up. So:

  • Don’t start a topic in the wrong category.
  • Don’t cross-post the same thing in multiple topics.
  • Don’t post no-content replies.
  • Don’t divert a topic by changing it midstream.
  • Don’t sign your posts — every post has your profile information attached to it.

Rather than posting “+1” or “Agreed”, use the Like button. Rather than taking an existing topic in a radically different direction, use Reply as a Linked Topic.


So, I do the best I can. :slight_smile:

Cheers!

Put parsley in your vagina? I don’t think that’s possible with a phone.

Besides, doctors are saying that’s bad idea, anyway. :grin:

Then definitely don’t use your phone!

Use your Photoshop magic. :slight_smile:

Finger, meet nerve. :slight_smile:

No competition there. @Elle79 would win.

I couldn’t fight my way out of a paper bag. :slight_smile:

Not sure about that, the only time someone’s wanted to fight me (as opposed to sparring during JKD back in the day) I put on puppy dog eyes and said it wasn’t fair as I was a hippy & wouldn’t fight back, thankfully that meant I was deemed utterly pathetic and left alone.

I learned today that if you very carefully monitor the weather “hourly forecasts” and live radar, that you can just squeak in a 1-hour walk between bands of rain.


(Scott) #804

I often go through this process when I wake up in the morning preparing for a run. I don’t like to run in the rain so it turns into …can I make it?
