Mine is people who separate words when they write. I’m Norwegian, and we can string together words indefinetly to make a new word. The never ending word may not make any sense, but it is gramatically correct...
I’m thinking about proposing to my girl, however we both think diamonds as a standard is stupid and overrated, we both prefer much more colorful and comparatively cheaper gemstones like rubies and sapphires, but I’m having trouble finding a good place for that, I’ve never done this before, any ideas?
I have a moissonite ring, but it looks very much like a diamond. If you’re looking for something different, I would check antique stores or estate sales to look for a second hand gem. You can always have it put in a new setting if the ring is too dated for your tastes.
Yes, my stone is a full carat because my husband wanted a round number I guess haha. Anyway, it does look rather opulent given our economic status, but I Iike it and it fit his budget.
High school students’ scores on the ACT college admissions test have dropped to their lowest in more than three decades, showing a lack of student preparedness for college-level coursework, according to the nonprofit organization that administers the test....
I’m interested to know if the number of students taking the test has remained the same. If that number is dropping, it may skew the scores and tell a different tale.
Three moose was seen on the roof of a supermarket. One calf is suspected fleeing the scene while the mother died jumping down, as did the last calf seen on the video.
I’m only in the office once a week. Outside of the winter months, I ride my bike about 4.1 miles (6.6 km). It takes about 25 mins and I cut through a park and church parking lot. I do have to cross one of the busiest roads in my area, with the help of a light. That part is not pleasant. I recently got a phone mount, so now I can listen to the news on my commute as well. The worst part is getting to the office sweaty and having to change into nice office clothes in a bathroom stall. I am the only person who rides to work at my office.
Great question! I’m a woman. Generally my riding pants don’t have pockets and when I wear jeans I can’t trust the shallow pockets to keep my phone secure. I don’t normally wear a jacket when riding.
Also, not that you mentioned this but I wanted to bring it up, I don’t like wearing headphones in traffic for safety. I have worn wireless earbuds, but they fell out too many times and I’d have to go back and search for them.
I still use my Hotmail account. I created it 9/12/2001. The shock must have been so great that I needed to make my first email account. Why yes, the handle is related to Godsmack’s second album.
I grew up with a thick Australian accent with a drawl I dislike, and have been consciously trying to change it for a while. The problem is I tried to make it sound more American at first but keep getting drawn to speaking “Britishly”. Now it’s a Frankenstein of all 3 accents and I don’t know what to go with....
I was visiting Leeds this summer and was at a werherspoons when some drunk kids at the next table over heard me and figured out I was American. He said he was aspiring to be an actor and wanted me to give my opinion on his American accent. He sounded like he was from California and he must have picked up all his accent tips from movies/TV.
