As an outside observer, I have some questions that I suspect are shared by many others around the world.

Use it or lose it. Lost my first language when I was imported at 2-1/2 years old. The drive for my parents to master English extended to practising it at home. The “practice” continued when my grandparents joined us a few years later. As it is, I lament the lost opportunities from not having command of more than one…

Or stick a Post-it note that says “CLEAN” to the front of machine. The advantage is that you don’t even have to open the door to know. We have one that gets re-used many times.

Last time I remember “Do I know you from somewhere?” or its variants being in common use, the intent was almost always some kind of come-on line. Hell, the first time I used it, I was in grade 9 and was hitting on a band exchange student. Or... did I just date myself?

I highly agree... at least for any bottle that I could actually afford.

Mmmm... Talisker. Not too boggy and a pleasantly surprising spiciness. My favourite of the single malts that I’ve tried.

Since you are still a landed immigrant, you would still be a citizen of the country from which you emigrated and naturally not have access to the rights accorded a Canadian citizen, which are likely much better than those from your previous home. I know my folks didn’t plan a return to the old country until after…

I say no problem to prosecuting 15 year olds for adult war crimes as long as the same nation disavows the various international convention on child soldiers. Since western nations subscribe to the various laws governing war, war crimes and crimes against humanity, then we also need to take on the responsibility to…

Refund!

So... what is your wife’s name? And is does a threesome really happen the way porn advertises it?

Wouldn’t they have just hired him to do the shoot?

Quick... marry her.

I was under the impression that pretty much all the 60 SPF sunblock for kids was better it had to be relatively safe for ingestion and water resistant. Is that just an urban myth?

That’s no moon. It’s a large asteroid with a with a space slug that has a stomach full of mynocks.

10 years ago, the last laundromat I went to had dryers with about a 20 min cycle. With big natural gas dryers, that was usually enough to dry a typical basket of clothes. The trouble is that the wheeled baskets they have are about double the size of the usual plastic tubs that most people have at home. So, the extra…

Me too... THX was part of the experience.

That’s all well or good.

To keep living, the language apparently needed a semi-colonectomy.

Baby steps. Mars might be hard but assuming that some distant Goldilocks planet is easier is just folly. A difference in one planetary characteristic at the destination might be enough to doom the crew, with nobody on Earth knowing about it for as many years as they are light-years away.

Imagine having to resurrect the old myths (like standing on one’s head to aid motility).
