srellim234,What I want to know is "Who Moved My Cheese?"bud

[C-Kwik]

Forget Books! I'll just wait for the movie.

[srellim234]

Not sure. I'm only good at cutting the cheese, not moving it.

My "library" consists of a ton of automotive books (restoration, history and service manuals)...

I love "Verbal Judo" by Dr. Thompson.. quick, easy read - but really good.

[heliochrome85]

thats ok. im open minded. man, the thought of those books. when i die, im going to the great Barnes and Noble/Garage in the sky.

[heliochrome85]

hopefully, The Looming Tower soon. too.

Moving in with szhosain comes with a price. He will make you wear an apron and call you "Sallie."

Ummm ... my brain is slow today. Why "Sallie"?

I am glad someone got it. No one like a guy that kills a joke by not getting it.bud

Oh, sorry! ... Dummy me.

Before I was married, I had girlfriends named: Cheryl, Cindy, Michelle, Kathi and Aimee. No girlfriend while I lived in Mississippi for almost a year once - had broken up with Michelle shortly after I went there. Wasn't there long enough to acquire a Sallie or Billie or ...

Aimee.

lol, was her name really aimee or did you mean amy?

btw, are you an immigrant? Your grammar is exceptional is why I ask.

[rn79870]

Yes, we could all use a lesson from szhosain in that regard. I agree szhosain, you're very well "spoken" (written?).

[Marenta]

I agree. My vernacular is wide, my grammar usage is so-so, and my punctuation is excessive. But, even I am impressed with how well you compose your posts, eloquent to say the least.

[szh]

Aimee is how she spelled it. I don't know if that had been changed from something else ...

btw, are you an immigrant? Your grammar is exceptional is why I ask.

Thanks!

Yes, I am an immigrant - from Pakistan. I came to the U.S. in 1974 when I was eighteen years old to go to college, and ended up staying after I graduated. My research and thesis was in the field of Semiconductor Physics and I would not have been able to find a job back home.

FWIW, my grammar and writing skills have been mostly the same from well before my arrival here. I learned English along with my native language at the usual young age, as they were both spoken in my home, and taught in the schools I attended. Plus, I read a lot!

It has a lot to do with my being a bit too anal about wanting to ensure that people understand what I said/wrote. That originates from the amount of writing I do in my work, where clarity is important. Otherwise, people might misinterpret information, and this could lead to expensive implementation mistakes!

Welcome to the United States!

Thanks! I am a US citizen - been one for many, many years now - and proud to be one!

im glad you are legal...

[Marenta]

im glad you are legal...

As there are so many many many people that post in the Political section of the NICO forum that aren't legal.. in any sense of the word.

[heliochrome85]

one of the couple bookcases in my room....

I need more books.

[rn79870]

That's funny. You've got a couple of bottles of aspirin by the MCAT books.

[smockers83]

That's funny. You've got a couple of bottles of aspirin by the MCAT books.

It's called reading. Top to bottom, left to right, a group words together is called a sentence. Take Tylenol for any headaches, Midol for any cramps.

[heliochrome85]

fresh out of midol here. seriously though. i love to read, but this whole med school thing is cramping my style.

[audtatious]

You can be my old age doc.....I'd let ya

[heliochrome85]

hahaha. hopefully you wont need me. us dems would have instituted world peace day, and Flying Spaghetti Monster based creationism into schools, as to cause mass psychosis amongst the conservative right. With any luck, the playing of whale mating calls will have the same effect as country music in Mars Attacks!

Im really tired, but find this banter hilarious.

[audtatious]

Dude, until the flying spaghetti monster is on your dinner plate don't knock it. Better with meatballs of course

[heliochrome85]

pork free naturally.

[audtatious]

Beef....Unless you like chicken.....

Then again, I never met a pig that did not taste good on my biscuit with eggs and cheeze

[heliochrome85]

just out of curiosity, have you ever had BOCA bacon? the veggie made bacon? ive never had bacon, and am curious about trying it (via the Boca version),. I wonder how the tastes differ.
