But is she pretty ?

I'll complete the answer when you complete the question.

I had a test last week that (I was told) made me radioactive for a few days (told the guy there I'd watch for spiders), & that was followed by a difficult blood-draw.

People have told me I'm pretty small & pretty thin, but I know I'm nothin' special to look at.

I had a similar test a year or two ago, but I had to steer clear of everyone for 24 hours (glow-in-the-dark Instructor ?).
I wish I'd been able to get closer to a Geiger Counter, just to spook them !

They sold these just a little before my time, but think about it...let's give kids actual uranium to play with and see what happens! :eek:

Ah, yes. Those were the days. :)

"And you knew where you WERRRRE THENNNN!!!..." Still kills me the guy they called "Meathead" has done so much for pop culture since then.

I think they sell something similar in Charlotte these days.... Call it a "Guy-Or-Girl Counter".

Sadly, we never saw these over in England; well, my part, anyway.
We got Meccano, and jolly good it was, too; if you could afford it.
 
These days, the kids play with an "App" (whatever that means) on their mobile phone; usually to the exclusion of anything practical.
So sad. . . .
 
I spend a lot of time at the Mall & things when the weather's nicer, & see a bunch of people of varying ages looking down at phones, or over at other people, heading right for me...

One day, I quietly said to one/myself, "Look where you're going, not..." but have yet to create a good/right finish for that.

I don't have any apps, nor a cell phone that would make it an option to get any. I stick with calling myself "a smart person with a stupid phone", & joking that "an app is something I get when I'm _ired".

Apps can be extremely useful and entertaining but they certainly aren't necessary for a full and rich life. Of course, that can be said of a myriad of things which we've been sold over the years. :rolleyes:

I hope that you are not including pet rocks and hula hoops in there, Mags. :eek:

Family on "Dr. Phil" Friday afternoon was complaining about boyfriend they were claiming ruined the future of their daughter who had great talent with a hula hoop... Even reading "World Of Dance" got renewed, I thought, "He didn't keep her from getting work."

Also, we have a rich President now, but above the neck, nothing full about him. (F-O-O-L, maybe.)

I was reading the other day of an App which will send messages to your friends' phones after you've died; and at times you specify. So if your Boss really pissed you off you can have a "Yah - Booh - sucks" message to his thing at 03.30.
It's called "Swonsong".

Now there's a plot bunny!
:)

I think they should call that BurnYourBridge. :D
 
Isn't that what socks turn into when they go missing in the washer? ;)

So Dame Rumour has it.
In my case, they don't so much "go missing" as 'hide'.
It can take a while to locate it/them.

Of course, when the Dragon offers help, one cannot avoid the thought that new socks are the order of the next market day.

I'm sure Dame Edna's socks were rather unusual.
