Thread: Your favorite state quarter!

Started 1 month ago by John DiFool
Obligatory Link To Designs, for the numismatists out there. I have very personal reasons for the Idaho Peregrine Falcon one. Here's hoping I can do 50 poll choices, if not we'll do it the old-fashioned way. Poll is public.

What would Jack Bauer do?

fessie replied 3 months, 1 week ago
I should probably be specific - teaching them to stand firm when Red's around is ridiculous. Avoidance is what I'm teaching them. Because, again, let me state this clearly: small children have a very difficult time with nuance, with degree, with going-so-far-but-no-further. Most things are black or white to them.

No idea for #1 #2, Ladyfinger is the only word that doesn't end in a vowel. That's all I've got.

The cabbage does not contain a seed. Although a potato eye isn't quite a seed either

Update: I have declined the position. I'faith, the plunge isn't taken, the Rubicon is uncrossed, the nettle ungrasped. Back to life as normal, then.

The best cure for couch potatery is to go to the library. When you see all those intelligent people looking bored out of their skulls, you realize you can do that at home without having to cart books around. Happy again with your clicker and bag of corn puffs.

Can you wiggle one ear? I can.

How can a vegan buy chicken for the cat? Vegans are people who eat vegetables, not ascetic freaks who won't kill a fly.

Tips for dial-up internet use
Published (2009-12-09 17:34:00)
Get K-Meleon and use it as your browser. It uses the same engine as Firefox does, but K-Meleon rocks. It's a must for dial up. I had dial up for a long time and I didn't mind it since I don't download. But of course you can't watch YouTube and such. If you just read the Intenet you can get by on dial up, which is pretty much all I do. But do get and install K-Meleon, it's very lightweight and it'll help your...

Why do mentally unbalanced people do it, anyway? What is the thought process going on? I mean, it's not like most people secretly like poop and the only thing preventing them from using it is societal conditioning...is there? Then again, little kids don't seem to mind playing in it. I never got that. Even if I were a baby I'd still think it smelled horrible.

About $50k in student loans and climbing. Zero credit card debt and my lovely shiny new car is paid in full. I've got no complaints.

They were around before people were around to put straw around them. There's probably a good etymological reason for the...

While I'm not a huge fan of snakes, 9YO mudgirl has three of them: an adult ball python; an adult albino corn snake; a young corn snake. The adult albino would be the "hardest to look after" if only because he's very physically active most of the time, and would escape his cage readily at any given opportunity. Spot (the ball python) is pretty sedate, except when hungry, when he goes into "hunting"...

In some ways very similar....both my ex husband and the love of my life are funny, smart men. My ex however was not ambitious or responsible. And wasn't monogamous. Which are some pretty major differences.
