Turga, forget the elephant...I wanna know what your posts #496-500 say. I know it's Spanish, but I'm too lazy to look up each word on google translate.

I think it is , he is caring for his elephant.

 

[Bristle Boy]

Throwing up those words.

Is that why they called it the "Readers Digest" ?

 

[Turga]

Is that why they called it the "Readers Digest" ?

"Readers Indigest"?

 

[Bristle Boy]

"Readers Indigest"?

Now I know why they used to have articles such as "I am John's/Joes stomach".

 

[Camino Chrissy]

"Readers Indigest"?

I get indigestion from ingesting all those words.

I'll help you bear it as long as it is yours to bear...

I've gone out and stocked up with Toilet Paper. I'm not going to get caught out like last time.

I haven't had to stock up on toilet paper since April 2020. I just counted the cases in my basement and I still have 101 left...no shortage for me.

When in risk of having an asteroid storm I used to always take my umbrella; but then I talked to a dinosaur, so now I don’t bother...

I see no problem having no hair. I just learned a new word on another thread from Jeff..."tonsure".
"Shave your hair to a tonsure (cuts down on the amount of shampoo you'll need)"

I used to strip often when I was younger...antique furniture.
I seriously once spent a full "work week" (40 hours) stripping an antique Hoosier cupboard I'd gotten at a garage sale for $50. It had five coats of paint on it...and I never earned even one dollar. When we moved ten years later I sold it though for a "pretty penny".
It was nearly identical to this one on google.

It works in American too if the speaker ever even saw a map of England.
