Mercedes, that reminds me of the sad, sad story about the young boy who pulled on his nose so much it stretched where it hung below his chin. He had a really bad cold one winter and someone called him while running in windy weather. Well, his nose flipped around into his ear, at the same time he sneezed and he blew his brains out!
ayoneq, I usually keep an ice pack in the freezer at work but someone misused it and the chemical inside leaked out.
Blue... that's a good thing. You know what they say about woman who hold back a sneeze.
Fay... 17? that must be a record.
Bear, around 20 years ago I was rear ended while on the highway. It took lots of therapy to get through the pain. Sometimes it returns if I move the wrong way.
Jim... not that I know of. My allergies are usually from strong perfume.
Not sure Jim. Who or how many were involved. Speculation as to why the electro-mechanical shredding device built into the frame wasn't detected by an x-ray scan. Sounds like it's normal procedure with Southeby's to scan everything that passes through their doors. Who actually pulled the trigger that set off the shredder right after the close of the auction. One comment I read states: The auctioneer says "Sold for eight hundred sixty thousand" If that's US dollars, the conversion would be £655,000 and not the £1.04 million in the story.
Ken, I'm curious now what rocket was used to send up Sputnik. This was a time when scientists were literally using giant scale metal clad fireworks! Predating computers, all calculations were done on slide rules.
This is one of the highest positions in government. I saw 10 minutes of him answering questions and felt someone as seasoned as he claims to be would be able to act maturely where he didn't. Maybe he should be called the 'squirming judge'.
I would have expected him prepared and respond to questioning better. The Media had nothing to do with that.
There was a documentary that suggested the Bush family had a hand in it. I didn't see the video I was looking for, but this recent one suggests the same thing.
rizlared, I found the same information. The photo appears on several hundred sites including mirror images of the one Jim posted and all stating it's an engineering fail. The bridge is complete with railings and painted lanes. Who in management would allow all the trades to complete their work right up to the end of a break (and expect to get paid) with such a mistake? I'm also suspicious why it has 2 pilings so close to each other. Snopes says it's not Photoshopped. I'm inclined to believe it was an existing bridge where the ocean floor separated during an earthquake and they are taking advantage of the situation.
M4, there is a TV station called ION that runs commercials every 15 minutes. Typically they are medicine related and list warnings possible side effects.
I like the ones that say "...even possible death" That makes you want to run out and see your doctor to get some of that stuff... doesn't it?
The full solo was more than 15 minutes. I actually prefer the isolated recording track of John. You can hear everything clearly. His playing on Fool In The Rain was superb.
Fay, I used to order supplies from a vendor who always made small talk and kept notes. It became obvious he was reading things back to me from previous conversations. His system must have prompted him to ask if we needed things as he had records of all the orders placed.
molly, agreed. Thanks for your comment. You must qualify the reviews. 5 stars and the comment "I love it" isn't a qualified review.
Staying with the subject of lawn mowers, it was recommended to buy one with larger back wheels. They claimed the larger wheels didn't sink into the grass when the bagging attachment was full. Small detail... Having owned one with larger rear wheels, I found it was more difficult to tip and turn the mower because of the (get ready for science class) the fulcrum effect. The location of the handle to the frame was in front of the wheel and tipping the mower with smaller wheels was much easier. Consider that a few hundred times when cutting your lawn. Groan...
Complaint Desk...
Fay, no big bucks. 2 salesmen in the production side of the business make 3 times my salary.
