Teng Ai Hui Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Today (Sat., Aug. 14th) is 7/7 on the lunar calandar. In Chinese culture that is "lover's day", so Happy Chinese Valentine's Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhaenysBee Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I wonder, why is there a raging heat wave when I’m in the city and “cold wave” (aka normal weather) when I’m out of the city, so there’s no chance for me to cool down my apartment? Or you know what, no, I don’t need to wonder. I bet this is my - not undeserved - punishment for not getting the AC fixed for three consecutive years.

It was the heat. Most people here in the upper Midwest have pretty bland palates, so when something is listed as being really hot you can assume it's probably what a lot of people would consider medium hot. Not this, and they slathered a ton of the sauce on the bun so it just kind of exploded in my mouth. It was good though once I got used to the heat.

BigFatCoward Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Walking home last night I saw someone get a dominos delivery, I then timed the walk to the actual takeaway. 39 seconds, I don't think I've ever seen anything more lazy in my life. They are fully able, I've seen them walking around the estate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorral Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 On my way to the supermarket I saw a woman sitting on the wide stairs leading up to NYU faculty housing. She was feeding the squirrels who live community garden/Manhattan Island pocket museum of 'original' coverage of tree and bush varieties. She was feeding them with a spoon! "I share my over-ripe avocadoes with the squirrels. They LOVE avocado!" And so they did. Crouched right at her knees, eating it from a spoon! New one on me.

A True Kaniggit Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Damn I’m out of practice playing Hold’em. Went from $140 to $320 in 20 minutes. (I flopped a queen high flush and someone chased the king high and missed) Ended up leaving with only $70 just 30 minutes later.(I flopped two pair with A4. The other guy flopped two pair with A10) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereward Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Just won a Hold em night after rebuying after two hands when my pocket aces, with an A22 flop saw me go all in against pocket 2s. Quite a night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a night! Wait what? You had AAA 22, but they had 2222A? Did you turn or river the fourth Ace? Or do you mean you lost with your full house to quads, but came back after rebuying?

RhaenysBee Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I saw a little hare on the morning walkies. A little Peter or Petra rabbit, it was so adorable, it made my day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little Peter or Petra rabbit, it was so adorable, it made my day. I visit the cemetery regularly to water the flowers on my parents’ graves, usually in the evening. There often are bunnies running around, although last year one night there was a very large coyote lying in the grass, munching on a snack which I suspect was one of the bunnies. They disappeared for a while after that. A couple of weeks ago I went, quite late, and when I went to water a bush I had planted between headstones these little eyes peered up at me. There were 3 or 4 wee bunnies sheltering under it. It was sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We often see hares as well, I’d say every third or fourth walkies, almost always in the morning. But I’ve never seen one quite as young as we saw today.

Zorral Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I wish I was living close enough to people with whom I could learn to play this game. But nobody I know right here, such as Partner, would want to do any such thing, as they do other things that cover this kind of ground. https://slate.com/culture/2021/08/wingspan-board-game-elizabeth-hargrave-review-profile.html Or maybe this should go in in the Bird Mafia thread?
