Debate & Discuss / Confess how really cheap you are

« on: November 25, 2022, 07:21:57 pm »Message ID: 1373129

My confession is that I dig the remains of my lipstick out of the tube until it's all gone.

There's lots in there, girls, if you're cheap enough to dig for it. Or possibly crazy enough.

Off-Topic / Re: HTML convertion to App

oldbuddy, I'm crazy 4 U, but it's conversion, not convertion. 

Incidentally, since I'm a non-techie, can you explain how you use the conversion to Android?

The website I found just had a form you fill out telling them where the html page was and your contact details, then push a button and in 5 minutes you could download the app. Problem was I could not get it to run.

Then at this point it's all academic.

Any updates from the OP on the status/progress on this? Just curious.

Me too. Inquiring minds want to know.

Off-Topic / Remember to keep hydrated and so forth . . .

1) Drink plenty of water. Keep your skin moist after hot showers and baths by using a good body cream or moisturizer. Slather it on, baby.

2) Use humidifiers to keep your nasal passages moist to avoid viruses and such.

3) Bundle up when you go outside and cover your head too.  Cold weather will not give you a cold unless you get chilled and your body's defenses are lowered.

4) If you catch cold anyway, keep drinking water and don't forget that chicken broth and hot tea with honey and lemon will relieve a lot of your symptoms. 

5) A fever is not a problem unless it lingers (because fever fights infection) or goes too high. Keep track of it.  (Call your doctor if you're concerned about fever for yourself or your child). You can take tepid baths (or give one to a child) to lower temperature if necessary. Aspirin and Tylenol can be used to lower fever and relieve aches and pains, but make sure you give correct dosage and follow directions for age of user. 

Not a doctor; not a nurse; no, but common sense measures really help to keep you healthy. I love you guys.  You can listen to me or listen to your mother or listen to your doctor. I don't care; but keep healthy!!

One word . . . pesticide; not pestiside.

BTW, we've been having lots of mice. Our cat catches some of them but we also buy the little traps that you put food in that keeps them alive inside till you dispose of them, and the traps that have holes in them and contain them till you throw the trap away. It's helping.

I think they're trying to get out of the cold into someplace warm, but there sure are a lot of them this year.

I developed a habit years ago when it comes to voting. I live in Portland, Oregon (which is as Blue as you can get), so once I drop my ballot in the box I go back home and leave the TV OFF to keep from throwing up when the results start coming in and this year was no exception.

Yo; good answer, dude.  No sense cryin' over spilt milk.

Well, that was totally politically correct. Good for you, cateyes1. And I tend to agree with Susie.

A giant oak leaf, that is.  It's about 12 inches wide. I've pressed it till it's flat and would like to make some kind of artwork out of it.

Any suggestions?

That one was so funny.  Poor grandma, bless her heart.  I get that way sometimes often when other people are around and try to hold it in.  It is hard.

While I feel some degree of empathy for you, I believe you should learn to make other distractive noise as you pass gas to direct attention away from you. Perhaps some sort of musical instrument. 

Anyway, it was worse way back in the day when in school because when the boys passed gas, everyone, at least all the boys, thought it was hilarious. But we poor girls would rather have died than make a noise like that in front of our peers.

Was a great game last night if you are a Phillies fan.  7 to nothing.  I find it hard to like the Astros since their cheating scandal without repercussions a few years ago.  Then their big hitter has been using illegal bats all season this year.

How do they get away with using illegal bats? What constitutes an illegal bat? Were the Astros found guilty during the cheating scandal?

Remember when baseball was just a fun game to watch?

Now men can win beauty contests even if they're super ugly, and men will cheat in fishing contests by putting weights inside. WTH??  Notice how I refrained from using "F" and replaced it with an "H" in the mnemonic to make it politically correct and stuff? (A mnemonic, also known as a memory aid, is a tool that helps you remember an idea or phrase with a pattern of letters, numbers, or relatable associations. Mnemonic devices include special rhymes and poems, acronyms, images, songs, outlines, and other tools.)

I had to look this word up before I used it, but now I know a new word. I'm sure it will come in handy later. I love you guys. You're all so sorta normal and all.

When I know we are going to be in a real rush, the night before I promise them if they get up and going we will drive through somewhere for breakfast.  I have an app, so it is ready when we pull up!

You sound like a fun dad.  I like fun dads as long as they fulfill their other roles, which I'm sure you do. Good on ya!
