Fourteen years ago, I underwent two back surgeries. After each, I spent at least a week, prostate on a couch, too doped up with painkillers to do much of anything. What did i do for amusement? I watched tv! Something I'd rarely done in the preceding twenty years! And I discovered it had only gotten worse over that time! But I did learn to use the channel-flicker gadget! But tv aside, there are loads of free browser games on the internet. And there are crossword puzzles to work. And she could always come on this site, to vent her aggravations!

I like old western movies.

davknight comments on Jul 15, 2019:

I used to know a Lebanese guy, who told me he grew up watching American Westerns, with Arabic sub-titles. (Somehow, I can't imagine what Matt Dillon, or Festus would sound like in Arabic). He also said that when he came to America as a child, he expected it to be like in the Western movies and tv shows.The Western genre also became very popular in West Germany during the Cold War. In Stalin's Russia, episodes of the Three Stooges were shown in movie theaters, to illustrate what Americans were like. It is interesting how the cultural trappings we export, help to form foreigner's opinions of us. It is also scary, considering you can now watch The Simpsons, South Park, and American Dad in almost any country on the planet. We can only wonder what Extraterrestrials must think of us!

Aside from a poor translation, can anybody explain this?

davknight comments on Jul 13, 2019:

The first sign says: "Use proper lifting techniques, in order to avoid back injury". The second sign warns against grinding incendiary materials in the machine (aluminum powder, and magnesium are the principle ingredients in thermite, an incendiary that can melt metal). It also warns against grinding materiels that could precipitate a dust explosion (flour, for instance). A dust explosion is when a dense concentration of flammable particles in the air, are detonated by a spark, or other heat source, creating an instant fireball effect. I can't help you with the "flammable coolant". I think these signs were originally in a language different from English, and may have suffered in the translations.

1969 vs 2019 I was born in '74, but I have often wished I was alive for the Moon Landing.

davknight comments on Jul 12, 2019:

In 1969, children were still "free-ranging" kids. Pot was cheap. Acid was cheap. Beer was cheap. Gasoline was cheap. One could have a pretty good night on the town with five, or ten bucks. There were 'dime stores' back then (in lieu of the 'dollar stores' of today). Guns were cheap, and easier to buy. Most American, and Canadian households owned at least a few. The music was better. There were fewer cops (unlike today, where you practically trip over them).There was no police state. The girls were prettier (short skirts, no tattoos or 'whale tails'). Jobs were more plentiful. Cars were cheaper. So were motorcycles. News of horrendous events weren't broadcast 24/7 like today, thus encouraging copycat horrendous deeds.People minded their own business. There were fewer rats and snitches.There were no ccv cameras everywhere. People actually subscribed to, and read newspapers. The War sucked. So did the Draft. But, other than that, 1969 was a pretty good year.

And while it's cooking, beasty juices mix with the rosemary, and the red wine, to make the tastiest gravy you ever had! (This last, I learned by accident, the very first time I did this!).

This is a common majik trick in Pentecostal congregations. They will appear as ordinary parishioners, seated near the front (where everybody can see them). On cue, they jump up, and begin babbling gibberish. Then, they fall in the floor, and roll around. It's all designed to get church-goers to put more money in the offering plates. You might say, it's almost a form of "entertainment" for the gullible. "Proof" of the presence of the "Holy Spirit". In short, it is a cheap conjurer's trick!

Trump: Homelessness "is a phenomenon that started two years ago.

davknight comments on Jul 3, 2019:

In 410 A.D., a fella named Alaric led a horde of a quarter-million homeless Visigoths, and escaped Roman slaves on Rome. What they wanted was land to replace the land that the Romans had driven them off of. Rome, at that time, was precariously short of troops, since the Legions were away quelling countless rebellions. The only troops available to defend the Imperial City were the 20,000-man Praetorian Guard, which just happened to have a lot of Visigoths serving in its ranks The Roman Senate sent some dignitaries, to parley with Alaric.To whom, they basically asked "Supposing we give you land? What are you going to give us?" Alaric responded "YOUR LIVES!" (those 'barbarian' war chiefs were famous for their two-word replies). The Roman dignitaries ran back to the safety of their fortified citadel. And, shortly after midnight, the Visigoths in the Praetorian Guard opened up the gates of the Imperial City. Into which, poured scores of thousands of enraged Visigoths, who did scourge, and sack the place. Anyhow, I like to ponder what the politicians of our 'Imperial City' might do, if a million armed homeless were to pay it a visit!
