For Saint Serena!

If you count corn as grass then yes. I would agree

I saw it posted on a meme community and had the same reaction. Really incredible.

I absolutely had them in mind. They were one of the better ones. Dial up is nostalgia trip was not on today's bingo card but I'm gladdened by the reminder.

10 10 3 2 1. Bobwehadababyitsaboy. I forgot about those ads. They were super bowl ad popular in my memory.

It depends on where you live. I lived in a rural area so the nearest local isp was far enough away that it cost. The cds and floppies that constantly came in the mail didn't charge though. There were a bunch of those free services and ad supported isps. I had dial up for a long time and watched the business model go from portal style sandbox like AOL to literal "all internet is free if you keep this ad open. " towards the end before I left for college.

That's cool you've played White Oak. Cool venue with a lot of good bands coming through all the time.

Karaoke is a good one. I'll add trivia to that as far as bar things go. I'm impressed by people who do Karaoke. I think of myself as outgoing but that's another level to me.

For active things there's hiking, biking, running, climbing or whatever groups and clubs. A lot of that ends up being very social. Also, you can try different things until you find a group or activity you gel with.

There are likely different group games at your local game shop. Cultures will vary widely by location.

Church is a good place to meet people if you are so inclined. Some of them are full of activities and committees and such.

People often recommend live music shows in these kinds of questions. I do think that's been true for me but I'm a "dance like no one's watching" type of audience member.

The gym is a pretty social place if you go a lot and spend a long time there. Powerlifting is fun, easy to get into (if you're already at the gym) and lends itself to long workouts where you talk to people between sets.

Have you thought of using an ftp server? That dir tree view used to be the default.

I think your attitude is a good one to have. Comparison is the thief of joy or whatever the saying is.

Gaston has topped every willing villager behind the local tavern but i have zero problem believing he still intends to marry Belle and have 12 kids. He's a hunting lodge bear but his sequel orientation is dominant. Doesn't matter who.

Not a real man like Gaston

• How to be attentive to one's surrounds
• How To project effort
• conflict resolution
• Extemporaneous creative modeling

That was my assumption as well.

Lol, I see how it reads like wes Anderson I've never thought of it that way. I was definitely less clever and not as perfectly dressed. At the time it felt more like something from Richard Linklater.

I was riding a bus once, which was rare at the time as I usually took the street car, and i had taken some acid earlier and was coming back from a 4ish mile walk from the river to a flag store and at the bus stop this guy starts talking and showing me the slingshot he has. He's telling me all about the different kinds of slingshot and some weird stuff too but the whole time be is shooting dried beans across the street. He's like a sniper. He's calling out letters on signs across the street and just nailing them without breaking conversational stride. The bus came and I got on and he didn't. He wasn't even waiting for a bus, he was just excited about the slingshot I guess.

After I got on the bus I sat in a double seat by myself and my friends took similar positions. A lady got on at the next stop and sat next to me. She was a French expat who, at the advice of her psychiatrist, was riding the bus and practicing having conversations with people. She told me all that immediately upon sitting down. Then we had a pretty normal conversation for what felt like forever but could only have been 15 minutes.

Yeah, my experience jibes with that too. I wear sunscreen everyday and I feel like I'm pretty conscientious but I end up getting red by the end of the day often. The problem with it, i find, is that it's time consuming to do one's exposed skin properly or it involves another person. I'm either working or recreating outside so I know I miss applications due to impatience and inattention. I switched to pants, hats, and long sleeves for outdoor living the past decade or so and it's a huge improvement. Just sweatier.

Reapply q2 hours and every time you use a towel. I don't think most sunscreen is advertising all day Protection.
