Sent myself an email intended for someone else. Good thing I noticed early. Not the first time it happens with Outlook.
Borg said:I always have to watch for that if I reply to an email that I sent. Outlook isn't smart enough to figure out that I want to continue the email chain by replying to the other person instead of replying to myself. But, if I use ReplyAll, it figures it out.

That's in Bandar-e Mahshahr(meaning Mahshahr port) city which is south-west of iran, in Khuzestan province. The city is ashore the Persian gulf.WWGD said:@Shyan: How was that 163 degree weather? Anywhere near you? I know Iran is a large country.

Its almost 920km away from Qazvin, the city I live in. Here is very warm too but the temperature is much less than that of southern cities. Those places are counted as hottest cities in Iran, so much hot that a few decades ago, villagers there had never seen any snow in their lifetime! (But they had some snow in recent years.)

A Final Word On Pakistan:

The world is never notified about the 99.99% of the time that you are a completely normal, productive, law-abiding citizen. The world only learns about you when things go wrong. Now imagine what the world would think of you.

So I looked around the house, and found my Parsi, "Learn 100 words!" stack of flash cards.
The one on top was the phrase; "Takhteh Khaab", which always sounded too much like; "Taxi Cab", which oddly enough, means "bed".

Average high temps:
June 90°F
July 96.1°F
August 94.3°F
It was 95°F here yesterday. I stayed inside all day, laying on the kaanaapeh, and prayed for winter.
It reminds me of something. Two years ago, me and my family, along with some of our guests went to Alamut Castle. There, my mother showed me a guy and said he seems to be a foreigner. I went to him and we talked. He was from France. He was worried how he was going to go back to city. So we suggested to take him. So after dinner, we returned to city and took him to his hotel. The following day, I picked him up and after wandering a bit to show him interesting places, we went home where my mother was waiting for us with a traditional dish of Qazvin. After launch we took him to bus terminal and managed to take him a bus to Isfahan.OmCheeto said:ps. Humans of New York(HONY) is now in Iran. Yay!

Did Obama/ Congree finally normalize relations? And how can a customs agent determine how much a collection of cigars is worth?zoobyshoe said:At a coffee house this morning I met a guy who had just, this morning, gotten back from Cuba. He traveled there as part of some kind of performing group. They went via Mexico and the round trip ticket was an astonishing $550 per person (Tijuana>Mexico City>Havana).
His experience was that younger cubans were all about American visitors, but very old ones, ones who remember the days of the Mob Casinos, were spitting on the ground in front of them. Anyway, he found it to be very safe, and the whole island was quite beautiful. And, yeah, he brought back cigars. (Erroneously, he thought you were allowed to bring back 100 cigars. Googling tells me you're actually allowed to bring back $100 worth of cigars.)
It really piqued my interest. I think it would be an amazing place to visit under the historical circumstances. Castro, about 90, is still there, amazingly, taking it easy in the background.
They've expanded the criteria for the people they will allow to go there. This guy went as part of the performance group. You still can't go as a mere tourist, but there are ways for mere tourists to creatively fit themselves into the new criteria.WWGD said:Did Obama/ Congree finally normalize relations?
The numbers I gave were from the wiki-link to your city.Shyan said:Same as me. I really can't imagine how will it be to be in a warmer place. But here the temperature is a bit lower than the numbers you gave.
It is probably the most delightful thing, to run into friendly people like you and your family, when traveling.It reminds me of something.

Actually both "Takhteh Khaab" and "Takht" can be used to mean bed. But "Takht" is more general than bed. It also can mean "flat" as an adjective. If it rarely happens that you want to mention any other kind of "Takht"(like throne which is called "Takhteh Saltanat", (Saltanat:Kingdom), also some traditional restaurants here use beds on which people can sit more comfortably and eat traditional food like Abgoosht), "Takht" and "Takhteh Khaab" can be used interchangeably. The point is, "eh" at the end of the word is used to connect two words and "Khaab" means "sleep", as a noun.
These stories remind me of a stop to Faroe Islands while on a transatlantic cruise in 2011. We were fascinated by the fact that many of the homes had grass roofs. While talking with one of the locals, she invited my wife and I to tour her home. The houses were tall with the front doors all facing each other in very small courtyards. Her home was very old and she explained that the lower level was where they used to keep their cows, chickens and horses. It was very interesting to see.OmCheeto said:It is probably the most delightful thing, to run into friendly people like you and your family, when traveling.

Presumably you'd have to show a receipt for the cigars.WWGD said:And how can a customs agent determine how much a collection of cigars is worth?
WWGD said:Women tend to pack way more stuff than man do. It seems as if they were moving to the place where they are traveling.
Or maybe it is the women I hang out with. For a 5-day trip ,they take enough clothes, make up, etc. for two months. I take 2 changes and then wash them out in the hotel sink. IDK, maybe you are different.Lisa! said:

I often get woken back up very shortly after "awareness of outer world stops," and realize that what was just going through my mind was completely non-sensical. You're not dreaming yet, in the sense there are no visuals, but your train of thought is completely unhooked from all everyday logic, but it feels as logical as ever at the time. I'm always amazed at how coherent the most non-sensical things just seemed.WWGD said:Always intrigued by that moment when we go from being awake to being asleep. Only main difference I can tell is that awareness of outer world stops.

Then, in a few moments, the whole train of thought melts away, and I can't even remember what it was, just that it was beyond absurd.
I remember once fainting during a lab, I could distinctly remember being in a somersault race before I completely blacked out.zoobyshoe said:I often get woken back up very shortly after "awareness of outer world stops," and realize that what was just going through my mind was completely non-sensical.

This smell is also caused by summersault races in the lab.lisab said:Weird. You know that smell you get on your hands after petting a dog? Well I have that smell on my hands now. I don't have a dog, and it's been a few days since I petted one. I might add, I have had dozens of hand washings, several showers, and one luxurious bath since then, too.

I might add to this random thought, deciding on pet vs. petted was not easy for this native speaker.
After going to your link and checking Cent, scent and sent, I may have to add this:lisab said:I might add to this random thought, deciding on pet vs. petted was not easy for this native speaker.
The word scent comes from the Old French sentir, meaning to feel, smell, touch, taste, realize, perceive, make love to.
Obviously. Even had an entourage of people pampering me silly to celebrate the win when I woke up.lisab said:Did you win?
