What did you ask/answer/learn on A2K today?

Haha.....


I learned that the Scientific American uses surprisingly emotive language when describing the activities of black holes...

I learned that yellow text on this board is bad for the eyes. . . .good lord, woman, watch where you click!

I learned that the IRS might reward you for reporting tax fraud.

A bit of info crucial to a long-running internal debate I've been having (about nations that are unable to collect even 50% of the taxes due to them).

I learned not to post a link until I read thoroughly about the site. Thanks to Joe of Chicago.

I asked about the connotation of the word "honor" and I answered some unanswered posts. Sometimes the creators of the threads never come back to acknowledge what you've tried to do. grrrrrrrrr.

I answered Roberta's thread about an editing question, but didn't get a reply.

I did some searching on the latest one reelers on American Movie Classics, and came up with some great stuff.

I also learned not to try and put myself in the shoes of Edward who drove a trolley.

LOL me too

Hey, soserene, That's why you're so serene.

and if I haven't before, I would like to make this a big welcome to A2K.

I'm thinking of throwing myself off the frickin' trolley!

I will admit to enjoying the interaction but boy does Joe keep on coming back again and again ...

Yeah, Heeven. I'm thinkin' the same thing, but greater than the trolley is the fact that Ralph Nader is gonna screw things up again....Just learned that on CNN.

Letty- Yeah, I just saw that. doesn't that guy ever give up?

It's fun!

Phoenix, He's unsafe at any speed. I think he's a Republican in green clothing.

Fun? Yeah, Deb. Fun! and he'll have fun, fun, fun til his daddy takes his Corvette away...(Guess I get hung up on the Beach Boys sometimes.)

I learned that persistence and high intellectual standards are off-putting to many people.

e.g. what Joe is doing might make you want to jump off the trolley, but only because of the rigor of his intellect.

Thanks!! I'm enjoying it so far!!

I just learned something else.

Men KNOW about hand held massagers!! *GASP*

And here us women leave it under our bedside table all innocent like... thinkin that we're gettin one off. (no pun intended) lol

Oh, my goodness. I knew this thread would go from intellect to sex. Are they mutually exclusive?

No.

Agreed, rabbit..Someone once told me that if it don't work in the head..it don't work in bed.

Goodnight, my friend

Letty, on the editing question, I believe Roberta holds different posting hours than you do. She is usually very good, more than most, about monitoring her topics, so I bet she'll answer your post sometime.

I read a lot and post a lot, and learn bunches every day. I want to wait until a non-work day to list what I learned and did.

I just learned, just now, that Nader is throwing his hat in the ring.

Really??

(Off to look, hoping against hope it's a scurrilous rumor [CNN, though?], and also hoping that I will be able to avoid huge and public explosions of anger if anyone says they support him if it turns out to be true...)

No, no, no, I don't want to hear it, no.
