skybluesky Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 Marc's F-I-L was also in Sanford and Son, Good Times, The Jeffersons, What's Happening, and Happy Days, which, in my book makes him pretty damn cool. He also has the same b-day as me and Fintan
Kevin Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Posted March 8, 2010 I wish I could say that . Mine likes to get drunk , start fights, and pull knives on the family along with claiming to have worked for the Korean embassy and the C.I.A ... I'm not sure which is the bigger crime ...
Steel2Velvet Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 .. Mine likes to get drunk , start fights, and pull knives on the family along with claiming to have worked for the Korean embassy and the C.I.A ... Turning lemons into lemonade, Kevin, there very well could be a screenplay in there somewhere!
MindCrime Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 Should I spend $50 on a set of old Joe Montana trading cards? One of them is his rookie card (valued over $200) and the others are from the early 80's, when he was young.
MindCrime Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 because you probably haven't the slightest what I am talking about
MindCrime Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 I did it after Joe's advice and doing some serious thinking. I hope that card is in mint condition so I can sell it later on, if I change my mind.
Levis Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 Hey I said the same thing! I was RIGHT, I'm going to become a financial advisor, screw this media degree.
skybluesky Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 I had a message on my voice mail announcing a product recall of taco flavored pringles, a product I didn't even buy, at a store I don't even shop at. Has any one ever gotten a product recall phone call?
MindCrime Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 sometimes those food recalls make me curious about the product in question. I bet those taco pringles are mighty tasty
skybluesky Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 Call proctor and gamble and ask them what was wrong. They may have a few cases they'll ship you
MindCrime Posted March 10, 2010 Report Posted March 10, 2010 Curiosity got the best of me... The newest food recall includes Pringles flavors: Restaurant Cravers Cheeseburger and Family Faves Taco Night. The Food and Drug Administration believes they may be infected with salmonella. If your chips have a "best by 2011" stamp, they might be at risk. If you purchased these chips, call Procter and Gamble for a replacement coupon or a refund.
Shawna Posted March 10, 2010 Report Posted March 10, 2010 If your chips have a "best by 2011" stamp, they might be at risk. so... the salmonella will be "best by 2011"?
skybluesky Posted March 10, 2010 Report Posted March 10, 2010 well, if you're going to have salmonella, it's best to have the freshest you can get
Lea Posted March 13, 2010 Report Posted March 13, 2010 Anybody know how to get a disk out of a wii if it" stuck?
Lea Posted March 13, 2010 Report Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) I'm babysitting and put it in the wrong thread the first time so I moved it We found the problem. There was no disk in it to begin with The kid told DH he put a disk in it and it wouldn't work so DH spent an hour trying to figure out how to get it out. And before you ask, no he wasn't supposed to do it by himself, but we were being distracted by the baby. I've come to the conclusion I'm to old to chase little ones Edited March 13, 2010 by Guest
Steel2Velvet Posted March 14, 2010 Report Posted March 14, 2010 For Radhi; is English your first language? I ask because, if not, you are most impressive in the way you exhibit English comprehension and usage.
Lea Posted March 14, 2010 Report Posted March 14, 2010 Same can be said for Farin There was a recent thread here somewhere where this topic was mentioned but I don't remember when or where (comes with old age) something about being able to read and write English better then speaking it? I was very impressed with our over the seas youngins'. But then, I always am
Steel2Velvet Posted March 14, 2010 Report Posted March 14, 2010 Oh, certainly! And I did not mean to exclude any of our English-as-second-language SFers when singling out Levis for my question. I had just read one of her posts and it struck me that she is from India and yet has a terrific mastery of English. Struggling with Portuguese, as I do, makes me appreciate those who are fluent in multiple languages. It is a an aptitude, a gift and one to cherish. Kudos to all that post here so clearly in a language other than their native tongue! (Of course to many in India, English IS their native tongue, hence the question for Rahdi.)
Levis Posted March 14, 2010 Report Posted March 14, 2010 Yup, you would be right - English is my first language. My hindi/urdu is a bit more halting and confused - I have zero mastery over it and use it as nothing more than a communication tool. English, on the other hand, I can mess with a great deal more without affecting the meaning of what I want to say. I do wish I could have the same control over urdu, though, because that is 319401753 times more beautiful a language than English, but I guess there aren't that many people who'd be able to appreciate wordplay in that language. It's a bit old-fashioned now..
