If someone who works in IT is boring you with a tale, do a web search on your phone for an image of a printer and show it them. It'll work like kryptonite on Superman. Member of the People Encouraging Niceness In Society club. |

How to start a camp fire: Don't try that at home. Dynamite are not used any more because it's not stable. Now Dynamex is used and it's more safe and is a plastic explosive that needs a detonator to ignate. However if you put it in fire it will only burn intensly. The bears will probably run away unless you start to cook some food on the fire... http://www.thelocal.se/20150515/swedish-man-sees-off-bear-by-roaring-at-him |

And keep a distance of about 100-150 feet when you set it off. Jobs a good 'un. When I was younger and I could run, a friend and I set off an M80 in a gopher hole, We got halfway down the block, after rounding a corner before the M80(1/4 stick of dynamite We were told) went off, that's what an M80 is supposed to be the equivalent to, but this was decades ago, We were kids. Nothing came of that of course and We didn't repeat that, We were just curious and We knew what could go wrong and it wouldn't have been pretty either, just bloody awful and I do mean 'bloody', since an M80 can be dangerous. I don't know what became of the gopher hole, but then We didn't take a look, we just ran like heck after lighting that fuse. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

A local limestone quarry owner always has a big 4th of July celebration. Included in the list of admittedly redneck, beer induced activities is the baseball launcher. A 2 inch diameter iron pipe driven two feet into the ground on one side of the lake. Approximately 150 yards away, on the other side of the lake, those participating as "catchers" don their baseball mitts and wait for an M80 or something homemade but equally potent (rock quarries gots dynamite!) to be lit, dropped down the pipe, and a baseball quickly balanced over the open end of the pipe. Usually takes a couple practice shots to get the angle/range right. From there it's all fun & games until somebody gets a hand blown off, which fortunately hasn't happened in the years I've attended that wonderful event. |

Putting them in a pipe are VERY dangerous. My father was a mine expert and he went ballistic when I told him that I put those firecrackers into my bicycle handles. If you use M80 dynamite then it's called a pipe bomb that terrorists use! Even the ignator is enough to blow up a steel pipe! Been there. Done that. |

There are n sweets in a bag. 6 of the sweets are orange. The rest of the sweets are yellow. Hannah takes at random a sweet from the bag. She eats the sweet. Hannah then takes at random another sweet from the bag. She eats the sweet. The probability that Hannah eats two orange sweets is 1/3 Show that n²-n-90=0 Member of the People Encouraging Niceness In Society club. |

The Beauty of Gray Hair (Gray and Proud) :) :-) For nearly 2 weeks I appeared in court with the biggest mop of gray & white hair & got funny looks... ...Thursday as we knew the trial was coming to an end, decided to "clean up" (the court security failed to recognise me). Nice short, back & sides, suited & booted, even the BBC reporter started hitting on me (as well as a few others) :-) Don't women like "mature gray haired men" then? tut tut tut, all that "experience" going to waste :-( |

That sounds like the Family Fortunes Programme over here some of the questions are shall we say daft. I don't know where this goes, but I hope it goes viral. Old enough to know better(but)still young enough not to care |

I don't think The Family Feud is the problem here. I asked LSM about it, and she says self-image problems come from the mind of the individual. Not surprising in a culture that tells us that we all should look like we are in our twenties for ever. Some times it is hard to get through all the idiocy going on in the world, but you gotta'. edit: I know that LSM looks better now too me than she did even on the day we got married! |
