You don't like things with strings attached, do you, Mame?

My point of view in tew first one !


http://www.fulah.net/vb/images/smilies/12852_75841.gif

[quote]THERE ARE ONLY TWO RULES: [/quote]


[quote]1 - ALL POSTS MUST BE IN YOUR OWN WORDS. NO CUTTING AND PASTING FROM OTHER SOURCES IS ALLOWED[/quote].


I agree with you here http://www.fulah.net/vb/images/smilies/m210.gif, but I advise all members who are transferring topics that Iraao secretariat at the Transport and literary writing that the source of transportation or the name of the writer

[quote]2 - POSTS ARE LIMITED TO, SAY, 150 WORDS OR LESS. [/quote]

Yes, but not always http://www.fulah.net/vb/images/smilies/m700.gifSometimes there are issues requiring clarification and detailed what often takes a number of lines .


Thank u .

Did you know that there is a very modern version of "cairns." Buildings in cities are being "tagged" to indicate that they are accessible to free WIFI connection, usually via chalk symbols near the entrance to the building.

When I was an undergraduate, a French professor asked me to explain French syntax.

I told him I had no idea they had to pay any.

Have you ever gotten a 25 cent piece (a quarter) in change that had been coated with red fingernail polish? If so, did you wonder why someone would do that?
Did you know that, years ago, diners and truck stops had juke boxes. Put in a quarter and 3 songs you selected would play.
The juke boxes were not owned by the diner but by an outside vendor who would maintain the equipment, change the selections of music, empty out the quarters, and give the diner owner a share of the revenue.
The diner owner had a small stash of red-painted quarters which he would use to, as it were, prime the pump by getting patrons to feed their own quarters in. The ones painted red would be returned by the vendor to the diner owner. Some of these, in the course of business, would be used to make change.
There was an "urban myth" as I recall that these red quarters, back when JFK was running for President, had some deeper significance, much like the story that the remodelling going on at the White House at the time was designed to build an office for the Pope.

Did you know that Americans eat more bananas than any other fruit? And that an American eats an average 26.2 pounds of them per year?

Did you know that the bananas that everyone in the West knows are a kind that we've only actually been eating for about fifty years? It's called a Cavendish. Before that, everyone ate a kind called Gros Michel. But a fungus disease infecting the Gros Michel gradually spread around the world, and in the end almost brought the banana industry to ruin. That's where the song "Yes, we have no bananas" comes from - from vendors no longer having any in stock.

And did you know that the same thing is about to happen with the bananas we eat today? The Cavendish has already been wiped out across Eastern Asia by a new fungus infection. Once it reaches the Americas, it could wipe out the entire industry all over again within five years.
