'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I for one am quite impressed that your autocorrect has an opinion on "new-fangledness" but not on "woold".
Right? The prosaic truth is that it corrected "would" (or some typo-laden version thereof) to "old" which I miscorrected to "woold". Which I am now rather attached to. It's got old woold charm. Or something.
I love that googling children's tv aspidistras took me to precisely what I was looking for--The Adventure Game. I haven't watched many US kid's game shows, because the timing was wrong, but this British one was absolutely perfect.
Every episode the contestants travel to the planet Arg, and have to complete tasks in order to be able to come back to Earth. The inhabitants of Arg are Argonds, shapeshifter dragons. One of whom appears as the aforesearched aspidistra, named Rangdo.
The wikipedia entry is bugfuck nuts: [link]
The contestants had to complete a number of tasks in order to achieve their overall goal (e.g. regain their crystal and return to their ship). Many tasks involved the drogna, a small transparent plastic disc containing a solid geometric figure, which was the currency of Arg. The value of a drogna was its numbered position in the visible spectrum multiplied by the number of sides of the figure. For example, a red circle is worth one unit, an orange circle is worth two units, a red triangle and a yellow circle are both worth three, and so on.
Hivemind question: Other than the paperwork hassle, is there a reason I am not seeing to not refinance my mortgage if it saves me .25%?
"ComIng down the pipe" I can allow since actual stuff does come down actual pipes.
Are there refi fees?
What is this even about? I'm not going through all the notes to see if anyone else has made these comments, but...who said Muslim women are weak? And who said all Muslim athletes fast during big meets? And who said this race was outdoors? Or during the summer?
God, people.
Are there refi fees?
Nope.
Then I don't see why not do it?
ita, I saw that too. And I have heard plenty about how different Muslim athletes are handling Ramadan in different ways, for just one thing, even in the US media. So.
ita ! I'm with you on "think". Perhaps that should worry you.
On "Pipe vs Pike" I'm indifferent. Pike is the original, but pipe is logical and grammatical.
I've done more googling, and not only are some of those gushing people getting the season, festival, and meet wrong--she's also being lapped by the other women in the shot. Sometimes people really annoy me. Best intentions in the world, but no brain cells engaged.
