Not me, but my brother had a digital watch that went through both the washer and dryer. The dryer cooked the chips inside so that the watch still told time, but for whatever reason, didn't show regular digits. Instead, it showed weird characters...but stayed consistent, so my brother taught himself to read the new…

A friend insisted I name my car, so I named it Hank, after Hank Snow (of "I've Been Everywhere" fame) when I drove it from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Victoria, British Columbia and back. But I still don't think of it as having a gender, and find it weird when people assign gender to inanimate objects (I even struggle…

I love this so, so much! This is on the same level as the program that has reluctant readers go to a shelter and read to dogs and cats.

Sweet, lonely old people get me right in the feels, too. I'm all teary right now. Almost nothing makes me more blubbery.

As charming as this video is, I also think it is a sad indictment of American culture. Do we need to outsource "talking to your elderly relatives" to South America? Of all the indignities of old age, the isolation in a community of old people is the one I least look forward to. Maybe there will be a video sometime…

This is such a great idea! I love it and want it to be everywhere!

Oh my lord, that was precious. I miss my grandparents.

You didn't lick it right.

You should demand your money back immediately.

Nope. Not a penis. I had a gay male friend in college who could carve a banana with a butter knife at breakfast to anatomical *perfection*. It would literally make me blush. I'm pretty sure a Popsicle is as moldable, if only for a short time. I'll have to ask him if he does those, too.

Swedes are brilliant.

Funny? I just want my desserts to satisfy my sexual frustrations.

In college (MANY years ago) I frequented a mostly male forum. Sometimes I'd chat with people on ICQ (yeah that long ago). Never was an issue, until I started talking to this one guy. It started out harmless forum chit chat - but he'd seen a picture of me I'd posted in one of those "post yourself" threads and then it…

I met "Jon" on okcupid. He seemed nice enough in message exchanges and chat, so we decided to meet. Before our date, and before I told him where I lived, he texted me at 3am, telling me he was in my neighborhood. I let him know this was creepy and unacceptable, and cancelled our date. He refused to accept, and…

vrk is short for vuorokausi, which is a 24-hour day. So there's only about 24h left. Suomi ei ole helppo kieli, mutta opiskelen suomea joka tapauksessa...

The scribbling seems to say "158 110 työv. toimisto" = ""158 110 Employment agency".

"There's one vrk left in the auction." To clarify, it means there is one day left in the auction. Vrk is short for "vuorokausi".

Nonetheless, the manual has gotten about 25 bids (as of publication time) since it was listed on Jan. 11. The high bid is currently 888,88€ There's one vrk left in the auction.
