Well, then, I must have been pretty damned smashed when I signed up.

It says "August 7, 1956". The year is correct, but how "4 24" came out "8 7" is unfathomable.

So...makes no sense that way either...like if it had dropped a bit. However, it's interesting that you were born on an "even millions date". Another "SilverBear" trivia factoid.

P.S. IDK how the forum stores the info....

AND the "millions" number is in sequential descending digits order!!! 4, 3, 2!!!

Anybody else think the woman in this commercial is just a BIT, ummm, unstable???





And physically, too... watch her stumble backward at the last second.

There's another one of her, too... lemee find it.

I think I'd run far away, with a quickness.

I don't believe I just watched that.

Clicking on one of Bear's links. Bad Atty. Bad. I know better......

you'd think that a commercial would be safe...but then again, if BEAR says it's scary then it has to be extra messed up

Just took a friend to the airport...she doesn't fly often. At the last minute, i remembered to tell her that she couldn't check her ego twists. Luckily they were right on top in her suitcase.

I've flown (on an airplane ) a total of 2 times; last time was ~10yrs ago. I like it; just don't go anywhere I need to fly

2000 is the last time I boarded. I had to DRIVE HOME from where I landed (SanDiego). And I completely missed the convention/meetings/workshops because of my condition after that flight.

THAT should tell you how it went.

Never EVER again.

Those commercials are on TV at alarming frequency.

I'm surprised it's for <enter weight-loss program name here> and not for some kind of drug like lithium or klon or pax or what-have-you.

One commented on our 27-pound T'mato (who is out on the deck supervising)... "ha ha ha gato gordo ha ha ha" is all I could understand.

Isn't chemistry wonderful, I'm so happy I decided to make this a career:

Wiki:

Butanethiol, also known as butyl mercaptan, is a volatile, clear to yellowish liquid with a fetid (extremely foul-smelling) odor, commonly described as "skunk" odor. In fact, butanethiol is structurally similar to several major constituents of a skunk's defensive spray but is not actually present in the spray.[1] The scent of butanethiol is so strong that the human nose can easily detect it in the air at concentrations as low as 10 parts per billion. The threshold level for 1-butanethiol is reported as 1.4 ppb[2]

+1 for "fetid".

I will also +1 if you use "miasma" in a sentence.

I'm getting the distinct impression they are "unhappy" about the HUGE maple tree(s) roots that are being encountered. I feel badly for them.

I did warn Mister Hubba Bossman about the solid possibility...

At least it's cool-ish... 52 degrees.

The miasma created by the curses arising from both inside and outside of Bear's house brought about the demise of a hapless bumblebee innocently passing by.

+1 !!!

I was hoping for a reference to the miasma created by one of Husbear's farts.

Two (2) of the benches completed. And I have completely lost track of time!!! I gotta leave for Dad's in a very short while!!!

 

[AttyPops]

I haven't flown in a long time. Very Pre-911 too, so I haven't even checked if e-cigs can be checked. Flyby....
