We used the Julian calendar for recording/record keeping on the seismographs I used to maintain years ago.

I feel bad for people that don't drink....They wake up in the morning and that's the best they are going to feel all day.

What is the correct, non-tautological way to express "it is what it is"?

-Frank Sinatra. (don't usurp others words unless you think you can get away with it; which you can't around SMP'ers.)

Another pint, Love!

Well its been attributed to Dean Martin , frank Sinatra or W.C Fields but honestly I saw it on the ceiling of a bar called flying saucer; so I wasn't sure who to quote.

"exactly"

So that trio of Limeys from Leeds that I met in a NYC pub spoke in this funny way. It was, I suppose, some form of archaic English. From about the year 1750 perhaps?

Anyway they were from "up North near Leeds" - and when I asked if they were right up against Hadrian's Wall, they took it badly and said, "Lord No, not that far North!"

What's with that? The Northern Italians look down on the Southern Italians, is it a sin to be from Northern England? Anymore than just being English, I mean.

They just corrected you.

Everybody knows where Leeds is. It's not Scotland.

The border of England with Scotland is much further north than Hadrian's wall.

Anglo-Scottish_border

As to the bolded; Bollocks!! No one knows where Leeds, main ****hole of northern (or is it central?) England, is located. Why would they? It's just silly.

They have a great football team.

I present the coat of arms of Leeds (According to Wiki):




I don't even need to say anything (but will anyway), the image speaks for itself.

You limeys are a demented lot of diseased clans that indulge in every form of Lunacy known to Man.

I plan on visiting soon and doing a walk through northern England. Perhaps I can sponge up some of the Lunacy.

I also try connect post Brexit.

I dont think so. I drink anything strong if you wait long enough to happen but i cant remember what was the last time, 6-12 months ago? I like beer,wine etc but again wait a min i forgot what time was last time and it is over 6 months for sure. So yes it would go nice with a meal but i need to remember it next time i am at the super market and i may forget it again. Got a present wine 3 months ago and it is still waiting to be opened. Hmmm. Lets see how soon it will be used. I dont think so. Maybe for cooking after using 50% of it?

Chocolates or almonds are another story though. There i need to exercise control. I havent had ice cream for 4 months as defense. Chocolate bars with almonds and nuts are not safe if sensibly priced (i am not cheap or anything like that but i dont like to overpay above standard historical bargain prices on non essential items and feel exploited unless the quality is up there) if they get detected out there plus the quality European ones that come in boxes of different styles are definitely not safe to be around and i dont care for price as much there ( its easier to get exploited and not notice so dont notice lol) . My defense is simply to not go there. Not to think about it. So i will proceed to forget that post now lol until the next time the radar detects the enemy in live bargain action.

The day actually gets only better after waking up. The hardest part of the day is getting out of your home actually, shaving, showering preparing clothes and things you need for the day, all the usual ritualistic bs! LOL. Then its playtime all the way to the next visit to bed. Playing with math and physics all day and people all over the world.

If you manage to sleep 7 h not 6 or less it will feel great even when waking up. But we have to find a way for this to happen.

I'm even more neutral about booze than ever since I started occasionally working the bar door. However, recently punk bands played a gig on a night I worked and that crowd were excellent drunks and the bands were excellent punks.

Cheers to exercise and cheers to control, double cheers to those that can do both at the same time.


Sorry I didn't make it rhyme...I may have had a drink or 4

Either the Serenity Prayer, or "don't cry over spilled milk," or "circumstances are not problems."

It is also used in America to identify yourself as being somewhat stoic and to annoy non-stoic people.

One of my more idiotic friends had "it is what it is" tattooed on his body. I thought, how redundant.

If it is what it is, it's not worth the words. Just say, it is.

It would only be redundant if he had it tattooed on other people's bodies.

Possible that he did it to annoy you.

Accept the unavoidable reality of the situation.

When I hear someone use that phrase they drop significantly lower in my estimation.

I'm plaaynde, and that's the way it is.

Glad I'm not alone here.

Redundant phrase is redundant.

I also redundantly admonish redundant redundancy.

April 1st has been cancelled this year. I think person A did it.
