Wishing you had an Uzi and was standing on a garage roof? Pay that much
money to have your roof _repaired,_ and not _replaced?_
 
But I will admit the questions Master B. posted did have me bursting out

No. They are de fact full of shit! Spawn of AOLamers, the reason I DO post with my Real Name! Because I think it lends credibility to my posts.

I post with my real name. My name really is Joan and it isn't JoAnn as many
receptionists want to pronounce it. When I tell them it is only one syllable and
not two it just goes right over their head like a low flying airplane.

One syllable would make perfect sense to me. Joan. :-)

That's goofy. Joan is a way more common name than Joann, which is more
often spelled Joanne.

"Mom named me Winter because I was born just after midnight on the first
day of Winter. My middle name was just because she liked the sound of
Winter Sue. She said it sounded all Southern, like Bobbi Jo or something.
When she told me that, it made me think about Bobbi Jo, and why you
could give a girl two boy names and have that be a girl name. I thought
that maybe the two boynesses canceled each other out."
Ann was now laughing as hard as she'd cried. "Like multiplying negative
numbers."
"Exactly. Eventually, though, I concluded that Bobbi Jo probably stood for
Roberta Josephine, and figured that I'd dodged a serious bullet," said
Winter, as she noddingly added her laughter to Ann's.

Yup, a great deal. My Tracfone service might cost about $100/year if that. I use data to surf the internet when I am commuting on the train, but I haven't commuted since March, so have used virtually no data. I use it for text more than anything else, and even that is not a lot, can get a 1000 texts for five bux earlier last year, still have 800 left...

We almost only use a mobile phone when we have car trouble. Our
prepaid balance always expires and then the phone company steals it.

In the US, it's not obvious from the number, whether the phone you are
calling, is a mobile - the area codes are the same. In Europe, and I
assume in Australia, mobiles/cellphones/Handys have different area
codes, so the caller knows whether or not s/he is calling a landline.

Yes, mobile phones have a different prefix and calling them is more
expensive than calling landlines, unless you have free calls to both
in your bundle.

They mostly e-mail me great deals throughout the year but since I still have over 1500
minutes on my phone I just renew once a year. They originally offered renewal with no
added minutes but they withdrew that last year. I can buy the bare minimum minutes
and only have to do it yearly.

Only one provider has range where we live (and only from one side of
the house). So we can't shop around much.

Ooooooh. Well yes, that would be limiting.

I'll take either one however the peanuts are a nice plus. But must admit
that Mars 'dark' is awfully tasty!

I had to replace several of my cabinet dots/bumpers a few months ago. They
were smashed and would cause doors to stick. Scraping those off and putting
new ones on solved having to jerk open sticking doors.
 
They work quite well for the back of hanging picture frames that scrape the paint
off walls, too. One in each bottom corner will do the trick.

If you were a 'Murkican it would have made perfect sense to you.

The idea of letting a kid choose his/her gender role sounds like a good
one. In the end, the kid will choose one anyway. I never raised my
daughter to be a girly girl. In the end, she chose it for herself.
 
It is hard for a lot of people to grow into their sexuality. The very
least a parent can do is to expose then child to appropriate role
models, rather then setting them up for a life of abuse and uncertainty.

Define "appropriate role models'.

Must be. It's apparently the same supplier at most of the local grocery
stores. It wasn't an issue when I lived in west TN. I do love
asparagus and no, I don't care if it's green (raised in sunlight to
develop chlorophyll) or not.

I thought the gentle, humble Hawaiians were beyond such crass human
behaviour.
