I seem to remember someone speaking about erased posts, a while back.

I am happy to see that you are still posting here.

I am glad that you have not left the GB.

(Sometimes, job related pressures cause some to take a Lit vacation...)

You are very kind to say so! You may regret that when I turn into a pisting machine like Le Hashtague.

At the moment, Lit is how I relieve my job related pressures.

This is what I found when I googled "pisting machine".

I must have missed the memo about pisting.

 

[Mr Noone]

Pists like a glove.

Fyp. Yw.

You should not reword a person's pist(s).

Who would do something like that??

from Old Low German root *pisa."

"from Low German pesel or Flemish pezel, diminutive of root of Dutch pees "sinew,"

I had guessed that it might have something to do with a pizzle.

My guess was wrong.

the A word has been really good so far - and it shocked me as it brought back a specific memory about when my son with autism was small and running a fever. his behaviour changed to that you'd expect from a non asd child; till the fever disappeared and he reverted to his regular behavioural traits.

they addressed this in the programme; it's a recognised quirk of asd and there's even a name for this 'lull' during feverish illness. wish i'd have known this stuff all those years ago.

also: you gotta love ordering a specific document online, paying through the nose to have it ready within 24 hours collect, traveling some distance to get it, traveling half way home before thinking 'just take a look at it', only to open the envelope they'd put it in and seeing they've managed to put an entirely wrong middle name on it. which resulted in traveling back to the place and having to wait for them to create another document. gotta love efficiency.

When dishrag gets all frazzled he starts typing like this. Pist for post.

You haven't the slightest idea. Yes there were loans with no income verification. Theu wete known as low-doc or no-doc loans. Liar loans is what they wrre called in the industry.. the offical name was "stated income loans."

These are not "laws the banks libbied for." These are unelected people making MILLIONS in bonuses like Franklin Raines with FNMA writing the guidelines, with the stated goal to increase homeownership in general, and minority homeownership specifically. This goal began under Carter and was put on steroids under Clinton. Any "lobbying" was done to block oversight Dodd and Frank chaired thosr committees.

Banks were arm twisted initially with threats of sanctions if they did not "reinvest" in the community by funding more ways to approve more minorities that typically carried levels of debt to high for conventional lending guidelines. To make it possible to do eithout banks going bankrupt on the defaults the lians were guaranteed to be bought by fannie and freddie si long as the ever looser guidelinrs were met. Eventually, the guideline was, "have a pulse."

The rich and banks play the game by the rules your saimted dems put into place. Hate the game not the players,playa.

N Korea is ready to test a ballistic missile that can reach the US.
Why do I imagine it wobbling, whistling, and puffing smoke at 27 mph?

*reads about the series.*

With Christopher Eccleston, no less.
I had guessed that it would be a documentary about autism.
My local public television station springs cash for good BBC docs.
Especially ones that inform and offer insight.

Is there much cursing, nudity, and sex, in the series ?

oooooo! "Shooting for Sherlock series four begins

“We all have a past. Ghosts. They are the shadows that define our every sunny'

And a young Hyacinth! Roll out the bouquets...
(Will I be forced to wait for three years, to see that ?)

you're imagining that because you hope that's the case.
the alternative is much less funny

I worry far more than I should about stuff, but yes I admit, NK bombing my ass is way down the list.
Someday that may change.
