I stopped to fill up my tank I in case we have to evacuate because of the hurricane. I expected at any second to see Butterfly McQueen run by flapping her apron screaming about not knowing how to birth any babies...

CFL is losing their minds too!
 
Would you mind sexing up your sentence structure and usage? I mean, it's perfectly clear, but when I read non-native English typers, I think I'm entitled to some firm, heaving gerunds.

However, I do love the erect Oxford commas.

For you, I'll sex up my typing from now on by adding plentty of doubble conssonants. So sexxy, babby!

Work that geminate!
 
When almost a year after my c-section I sneeze really hard and still get that annoying muscle tug and pop. 😒

I read that as 'squeeze' and was about to tell you to simply stop doing that. Fuck...I may need glasses. And sorry you're dealing with that shit.

I think the gearbox in our car had gone , from what G is describing:(

That sucks, like gone missing or gone broken?

If broken and you have a somewhat popular car model and G is decently handy, he could find a video to fix it online.
 
I need to add this to the what made me smile or laugh today thread :). ;)

He tries, very hard, and with not small success, ( in fact, when he learns something he does it well) but his family , and j am not joking, had someone come in to change light bulbs. So things that people learn along the way usually, he had to learn as an adult:).

Ha ha....well I am glad I could get you to laugh.....even when it wash't intentional.

Ok...the light bulbs bit is one thing...but doing stuff on a car, is no small feat. I know a handful of ways to work on a vehicle....such as changing the oil, rotating tires, changing brake pads, switching out bulbs for the lights in front or back....but not everyone does. I've always believed in trying to work on my own car or truck, because it's my baby, simple as that. Thankfully my dad instilled a few lessons in me....the rest....well thankfully we have the internet.

I suggest he watch several different vids, try to choose an individual who not only takes their time explaining things but shows you step by step what is going on. Give the video/videos a few watchings could help too.

If G feels up to the task...he just needs to remember to be careful and take his time.
 
Time is something he rarely has:(

X I guess we'll see what happens later. I suggested he hires a car if it's going to take a while

Well unless he knows a pal that has some spare time, it'd be best to leave it to a pro.

Not sure what insurance is like there so you guys can get a rental, but even some shops will loan a car until the problem is fixed.
 
A Mormon I know just got shipped off to the middle of the Arizona desert for the next two years on his mission.

Totally voluntary of course! They let you decide after decades of your parents indoctrinating you with the nonsense glorification of the mission and financially prepping you for it before you were even born.
'Voluntary' is a very tangential term for it...

Some Mission rules:
*No contact with family, friends, acquaintances or anybody outside your mission without proxy-ing through the mission president. (MP)
*Read and study only from material authorized by the Church.
*Only watch approved TV material.
*Only visit approved websites.
*Spend 10 hours each and every day proselytizing.
*Police your partner's actions and report them to the MP if they're "having difficulties".
*Do not talk to, be around or communicate with anybody of the opposite sex without authorization or with your partner.
*(This one's a doozy) Do not engage in community service during the evening, weekend or holidays—those are peak proselytizing times.
*Pay tithes of your meagre income, assuming you make any, to your MP.

And don't worry if you're not making headway! On average, any given missionary will recruit a grand total of four people to Mormonism on their years-long missions!


And people try to tell me this isn't a cult.

Sounds like you'd have more freedom if you went to jail. Sheesh...fuck that!
 
Did anyone see The Book of Mormon?
It exists. Joseph Smith wrote the book of Mormon which was supposedly inspired by his discovery of a set of divine gold plates with ancient writing inscribed on them.

...Which nobody but him and his inner circle of 10 people ever 'saw' and were conveniently taken back up to heaven by an angel in the middle of the night with nobody around...

...He was also convicted of over 100 counts of fraud using a 'seer stone' which he said told him the location of treasure (which always coincidentally seemed to be buried on people's property) which he then dug up for a fee. Obviously never actually finding anything of value. Some instances of which involved 'discovering' divine solid gold plates with ancient writing on them...
