It can help to ask in what context they thought of the question. For instance, what if they just want to know what makes “reality TV” different from regular TV?
It’s like when the sitcom kid asks, “Mommy, where did I come from?” and after a whole birds-and-bees talk it turns out his new friend is from New Jersey.
Oh no! I liked your pigeon post. I’m raising mourning doves on my balcony… Actually I’m just throwing out hulled sunflower seeds every morning, but the family that eats them is up to 12 members now. Maybe not for long, because a young redtailed hawk has joined the neighborhood, and last night we heard a great horned owl for the first time ever.
Delusions of Versailles, on a budget.
If they’d been doing necessary maintenance their units would be getting top dollar now. Florida should have been enforcing this all along but it’s not like nobody knew.
The “other ones” are not continents!
I’m tired of seeing all the diverse countries of Africa being lumped together as if they were homogenous.
I very much prefer California then, which mails every registered voter a return-postage-paid ballot and provides locked ballot boxes if you prefer, as well as having in-person voting places. I mail mine in, at least a week early, and if I didn’t get the text notifications I could walk in and do provisional. My spouse is basically bedbound but can vote from home.
Just wondering, how is mandatory voting enforced? I assume vote cops don’t show up at your door… What if you turn in a ballot with no choice marked?
I say sad. Barstow is how you know you’ve made it back to California on a long road trip. You stop for gas and a little break, then get back on the 10 and stay on it until you burst out of the McClure Tunnel onto PCH.
Did it, though? My 90 year old mother used it in the same way since her childhood. I think it’s always been sarcastic, probably from use by lowly soldiers. In the phrase, she pronounces and spells it as “gummint work” even though she would normally say “government.”
Lapis Lazuli was traded along the Silk Road, and Homer would have called it Sapphirus. A stormy sea isn’t blue because it’s not reflecting a blue sky, and it may have roiled-up sand and kelp.
It’s possible that the school would allow him to drop off a phone in the front office every morning and pick it up before walking home. Depends how nice you are to the office ladies, but that’s always a good idea anyway because they’re more powerful than you can imagine. (Some school office staff may not be ladies these days but the principle still applies, and in elementary school most probably still are.)
It would be cool to make a mural with them
Okay but what’s the seven-second daily eye ritual that will cure all my vision problems and let me throw away my glasses for good, without doctors‽‽
Wait, you mean I don’t actually own Jason Momoa now? What about my kingdom, do I still own that? (It’s hard to tell, since it’s lost.)
Although you are using it and pronouncing it correctly, the correct spelling for the phrase meaning “in a whole bunch” is “en masse” because it’s stolen from French.
I never had good enough balance or left-right coordination to learn to ride a bike, so I don’t miss them. But it would add an element.
It’s one of the versions of the line from The Breakfast Club where Brian claimed he was dating a girl from Canada.

The implication is always that she doesn’t exist, and often that the guy is a virgin.
Yes, and I get a warm feeling seeing our little Lemmy has grown up enough to have it! It’s like when your kid discovers knock-knock jokes.
Editing to add, my own kids have recently finished moving out. I want to replace the 2 twin beds crowded into their room with one queen futon-onna-frame the cat and I can use as a sofa, and one of them can share with a significant other if they visit or have to move back in for awhile. Recommend or warn me about particular brands you’ve slept/fucked on?
You’d probably have to go a couple-few times to get all the words. A ticket sold is a ticket sold.
Look at you, thinking responsibly. Come on, load it with half gumballs, half Superballs!
Edit: oh, I forgot jawbreakers!
You’ve probably already made your soup, and I hope you did add the frozen green beans. You can put them right into the boiling liquid, stirring to break up any clumps, and increasing the heat until the soup comes back to a boil before turning it down to simmer. Anything saucy works well with frozen veggies. If you’re going to make a fruit pie, it’s a good idea to use a recipe with specific directions, by adding “using frozen berries” or whatever to your search. But in general, I mix the sugar and cornstarch or other thickener and any spices in a bowl, and if the frozen fruit isn’t all stuck together I add it all at once and stir, then let it sit a few minutes and give it another stir before putting it in the crust. And I have foil ready for the crust edge in case the fruit is slow to cook through.
If the fruit or vegetables are frozen into a big lump, microwave a minute and break them up, but generally you want to use them a little icy.
