Random Thoughts Part 5: Time to Split Again

[Psinter]

I found a better method for collecting enough change for the washing machines: vending machines, but I must buy items whose decimal part is $.25 or less to make it worthwhile.

EDIT: Even better, some times putting in $1 in the machine and hitting the "return" button gives change without having to buy anything. But there seem to be fewer vending machines now than I remember seeing some 10 years ago.

I used to put a lot of 5 cents and then hit the return button to get all quarters.

This is my reaction when I write something in the forum and get ignored: (time 0:23)

I get kind of a dumb satisfaction after the laundry is done, as if it provides with a new beginning, a fresh new beginning. Great things can happen with my recently cleaned clothes.

Yes I just love that feeling of clean sheets, clean pyjama and washed hair at the same time! Satisfying

It was kind of funny. They had this cop trying to keep skateboarders away from a sidewalk ( they are a pest when they skateboard in crowded places, specially considering they have many dedicated places to skateboard in). Problem is that the cop had this "teddy-bearish" vibe of niceness and his overall look and vibe where hardly those of someone who regularly imposes order.

A similar feeling is opening a fresh pack of newly bought socks and putting them on, man I love that feeling. The only thing I ask for (and get) on Christmas and my birthday are new socks!

Hey, lucky us that we can get enjoyment out of simple things. No need for anything too fancy, no contrivances, complications needed to feel good.

What's the English word describing a situation when after raining in winter all the water on the roads turned into ice so it's dangerous to walk on?

The term I am familiar with for that is "Black ice"

Talking of clothes, what is your style of clothes WWGD? Do you like this style? (Warning: big picture ahead)

Spoiler: Style 1

EDIT: My style is a little bit more casual. Like this: (Warning: also big picture ahead)

Spoiler: Style 2

I don't understand fashion. Those styles look identical to me.

The other day, I was getting dressed and I asked my husband, "Does this sweater go with these jeans, or is that too avant garde?" He said, "You can't dress avant garde." I said, "Yes you can! Look at David Bowie!" He said, "No, you don't understand: YOU can't dress avant garde."

Yep, he has a point there.

An amazing and happy thing happened in my life today. It's a long story, I'll (try to) make it very short.

I met my now-husband about 5 years ago. He had just bought a farm after raising his kids in the city.

When he moved out to the farm, he brought his house cats, of course. One immediately got hit by a car . The other became quasi-feral - she was never a lovey-dovey kitty in the first place. Now, you have to understand, this farm is out in the country where there are coyotes, raccoons, stray (and not so stray) dogs, bob cats, and of course cars. But the biggest threat is coyotes. Outdoor cats rarely last long out here.

When I first met her, she refused to come inside. She would growl and hold her ears back when I would pet her. I frequently got bloodied by her lightning-fast claws. She never, ever telegraphed her strikes! Everyone said she was about 10 years old.

Over time, she and I formed a more trusting relationship. I gave her healthy food that she loved. I gave her wet-cloth baths in the sun on warm days. I built her a house in the basement and put a pad on the top level that was heated 9 months of the year.

And I would ask about her past, trying to figure out how a house cat could become so feral. Always, when I asked about her age, they said, oh she's about 10 years old. Eventually I did the math () and realized she was close to 20 years old! So I started trying to lure her indoors. Outdoors is not a place for an old cat!

OK so now the amazing, happy part: after all this time, she has decided to live indoors, in a safe, warm environment where she can live out her final days! And today, for the first time, she peed indoors in the litter box I set up for her!

This is such a great relief. Now, when coyotes wake me up in the middle of the night with their howling, I won't worry that my kitty has become their dinner.

tl;dr: I tamed a feral cat.

Hihi. I don't understand fashion either, I just imitate and change minor parts to fit my style. If I were to describe it, the first style is more elegant and the clothes are well folded and closed (which gives a serious look and strong composure). The second one are elegant clothes, but worn in a way that represents a more careless look (I prefer that and love the collar unfolded like that).

For instance, in the second pic I would just throw dark skinny jeans with a big belt buckle for a more athletic look that represents me and radiant tennis for counterpart. And it still looks good (of course it depends on the person's body), but in the first pic there's no way jeans would fit there without looking really weird.

The following ones also looks great with dark skinny jeans and tennis: (Vests look awesome imo)

Spoiler: Vest like clothing

I have never seen you lisab, but maybe you could also try cosplaying, like this:

Spoiler: More pics again

Or perhaps:

And modify it to suit your style. And then be avant-garde.

Oh I really like those styles! I recently started wearing leggings with tunic-style tops. Very comfy and I get lots of complements.

I think vests will come back into style soon, too. It's a nice look.

I have found another one who praises to dip celery into peanut butter. Damn now I have to try. Seems to be an American attitude though.

You do seem to have a thing for Manga. I am not much into fashion myself.

This looks like one of the dancing games I used to see people play, in which gamers can choose *fashions* for their characters of different body sizes.
All North American people are different , custom tailored designs seem more important.

I only tried peanut butter once. It was when they had "American week" at Lidl :) usually they sell very tasty products, I think they have the best products of all supermarkets, definitely much better than Billa or Tesco. This peanut butter was made in the USA so we thought it should be authentic. But I really didn't understand why Americans love that peanut butter so much. It was a very strange taste to me. It was like salty but also sweet and rough. We didn't throw it out and ate the whole jar but I wouldn't buy it again. I don't know, maybe we ate it the wrong way? We spread it on bread like a normal butter or nutella and ate it just like that. Maybe you need to put more things on top of that? Or perhaps have a cup of milk?
They also sell raw American peanuts and those are good :)

It's not really a "splinter", but don't forget ... Wikipediocracy .

Remember! Aliases only work with 'Where' clause. I keep confusing 'Where Clause' with 'Bear Claws'. And 'Having' can include aggregates, but 'Where' cannot. Just need to figure out the order in which things are done when a query is executed: does the execution first do the ' group by ', or does it first compute?

Talking about bears, many people online use "bear" as their nicknames in a lot of other forums (white bears, chubby bear, Asian cute bear, hairy bear, etc. Horrible!)
BTW, I like "hairy macho bear"s.

I visited bears'websites. and I read other bears' comments.
I am learning English. You may have to teach your students a thousand times before they can memorize some clean words or read between the lines of something but I guess you can do it only one or two times for them to learn filthy words. All humans are smart about that. I am proud to be one of them.

Nice comment! She says "we could" which doesn't necessarily mean "we can".
But are you calling me a monkey or a goddess ?

haha I'm sure there is some monkey deity in Hinduism :)

I only learned a little about the flying monkey.
