My first thought too.

Ah yes... Hair Furor.

lol

If we didn't exist all you other folks wouldn't look so good. Life is about balance.

I prefer not to use any loo other than my own, ideally!

@MrLizard ? ?

I hear you, Psuodisni. I have ADHD, am fast hobbling towards decrepitude, etc... My short term memory is... something. I forget what.

Interruptions are anathema. Unfortunately, I sometimes interrupt people, and I hate it when I do that. Sackcloth and ashes for me!

I think maybe I won't watch that - it sounds gross!

@Jnei Oh, it's a comedy bit from Mitch Hedberg. It's not off putting.

@resserts Turns out I can't anyway - "this video is not available from your location"!

@Jnei Aw, nuts. I'll see if I can find it on YouTube or somewhere else.

@resserts if its Mitch I am watching

I hope @Cherish isn't going to drive like that when we embark on our RV Tour Of America - as a cyclist, it'd be most embarrassing!

It could just be in Indianapolis. (I'm a cyclist, too. If you'd like to spend a day in Indy, let me know!)

@Nottheonlyone Definitely!

@Jnei You're doing an RV tour of the US, and didn't tell me?! This gives ailurophile sad. I'll just sit here, alone, in my semi-spacious rental home and cry.

I have a very bad habit of forgetting to check there's paper until after I'm done - and then having to rummage through my bag for old till receipts, chocolate wrappers, small-denomination bank notes or anything else that might suffice

@Jnei I check the toilet paper before I sit down now.

@Sarahroo29 I've spent 30 years trying to train myself to remember to check, but I still never do!

@Jnei Sometimes I forget to check.

@Jnei
She helped you out. You should send her chocolates or something!

@Akfishlady Fortunately not, because at that time I'd have said yes.

Oh no!

I know loving sports is silly, but it's harmless tribalism in a world full of harmful tribalism.

@Akfishlady That "harmless tribalism" also effects attitudes towards real concerns, regarding school funding for instance, often contrary to any rational thinking.

@Akfishlady True, I was thinking mainly of Basketball which isn't that bad. I truly do think that sports take the edge off of some of our dangerous natural tendencies. It distracts us and gives us an outlet for our frustrations.

As divided as we are right now, imagine if there were more angry people around full of anger and fear with no way to release it.

@Coalperson Wouldn't violent video games take up the slack?

@ailurophile I think sports appeal to our tribalism/mob instincts. Video games appeal more to our desire to compete/ achieve.

I NEVER heard whenever in place of when until I moved to Louisiana. Drives me bonkers!

What is this "HOIK" of which you speak?

I wondered about that Emme, is it a common term, ? it is a loud horrible sound of ridding your throat of rubbish from the nose and throat, horrable !

You stole mine. I didn't know there was a word for it but that sound of sniffing snot back into your throat makes me ill.

Agreed on all five points.

@SACatWalker I had a neighbour a few years back, really nice guy, great young family. When a football grand final is on, he places a big screen TV in his kitchen window, then goes out into the yard where he and his mates have chairs lined up and they yell through the whole game, especially in the instant replays. I have sonce moved, and 3 years later he also moved and is now about 10 houses away. not a problem, he really is a nice guy. But I now have a neighbour across the road who sits in his driveway of an afternoon, drinks red wine and does the same thing.
