Peg watched lots of videos of that as if they were porn. I haven't been able to explain that hot has a few meanings.
We watched it daily and religiously for quite awhile. Hot has two meanings only, imo.
SNAP! Rick, you made the #300 post! Good for you! You win a trip to Iceland, but it's not free...Kudos!

A young Highlander was hired by a store that sold kilts to work as a sales clerk. One day, as the manager observed, an American tourist came into the store, and asked the clerk if there was a Dunlop tartan, since his surname was Dunlop.

The manager was horrified to see that the young man skipped past the "D's" in the swatch book and showed the gentleman another tartan in the "M's". After the tourist left (and had ordered a kilt), the manager confronted the young man:

Manager: Why did you tell that gentlemen that as a Dunlop, he can wear the MacIntyre tartan?

Clerk: Because sir, the Dunlops have been "macintyres" for years!

I hate how you're just born out of no where, forced to go to school and get a job. What if I wanted to be a duck.
Chris has figured this out. Just be a cat, or a duck (or a wombat).

Yes, I've figured it out!
I have 9 lives; I learn more things by being curious; if I fall off a ladder I always land on my feet; I am loyal to my friends, but aloof to others; and I get no wrinkles as I age.😃
Do any of you describe yourselves as an animal, fowl, amphibian, or sea creature?🦨🦃🦎🦀

I was starting to fall off a ladder once but decided to take control. A twist, followed by a push-off with a bit of air time and I landed on a concrete floor. On my feet! 🙀

Sometimes I think I would like to come back as a wombat. Their poop comes out as cubes.

Personally, I prefer sheep poo...It's looks like marbles and has no odor, even if it gets stuck on the bottom of your shoe.

My father, in his second marriage, (all other details omitted) was called both Uncle Dick and Grandpa by the same kids. Things nearly got worse if I hadn't figured out early on that me getting interested in my father's wife's niece wasn't going to make things easier.

I'm my own Grandpa

What did Moses say to the Israelites after 40 years of wandering in the desert?

Long time, no sea! :p
It was really nice that Mrs. Moses finally got fed up and asked for directions.

If she wasn't so subserviant, but more assertive, she and Mr. Moses would have only wandered for a few hours.

It is the male ducks that have the beauty. When we moved into our house we had flock of mallard friends visit us most days. We found names appropriate for their looks; Domenic, Eugene, Trent, Gertrude and Mildred.

One day we came home and there was a male wood duck on our front lawn. Bob stayed the summer trying to accompany the mallards. They were okay with this but strictly enforced a two foot social distance.

Anatidaephobia! I looked a little more into this and it is actually quite serious ( o_O ) From betterhelp.com:

And1.JPG
"Physical symptoms of anatidaephobia can include sweating, trembling, an increase in blood pressure, dry mouth, feelings of choking, and paralyzing fear that causes the person to stop dead in his tracks and be rooted to the spot. He may try to scream or even flee. Some anatidaephobia fear to lose complete control of their bodies, like succumbing to a potentially embarrassing episode including fainting, dizziness, or crying."

I'm gonna ditch my Donald Duck magazine collection ASAP! 🤪

The male mallards were probably jealous of the wood duck's beauty...you should have named him Joseph instead of Bob.

Yep, I love that word and since you first noticed me using it in the past, I now use it as often as I can on a plethora of my posts.😂

A plethora of posts using plethora equals no dearth in either plethoras or posts.

A friend sent me this handy little visual aid for ordering coffee in Spain. I am smack dab in the middle of the chart cuz it's "cafe con leche" all the way for me; make it a "Grande por favor".
I thought you all might find it of interest.
