Let's play - Guess the question.
Her question was -
(A) When did you start brushing your teeth?
12-26-2013, 04:30 PM
(A) You know your Mom is still on the toilet behind you?

(A) Did you run out of tooth paste? that's my Balneol cream.

Quote:Does this board have a spell check feature?
Never looked for it if there is one.
The spell check feature is a browser setting. I use Firefox, it is a check box under Tools/Options/Advanced. In IE 10 it is a check box under Tools/Internet Options/Programs/Manage add-ons/Spelling correction. In Chrome you click on the menu icon, then Settings. Click on the Show advanced settings link, then click on the Language and Input settings button. There you will find a check box for enabling the spell checker.

That's the thing though; I screw up too and that's okay. But it's not okay to me to let the error exist. It's a simple matter, just fix it!
Again, thanks for the catch.

I am going to have to look for that. Don't want to look stoopid like Deacon did.

I wasn't fast enough, Eric beat me to the reply. I at first thought you did it on purpose, and then realized that it was the only word with a typo. Which of course made it way more funny.

And the word was ---- Spelling. :woot: ... Classic.

Didn't locate it there. :no: But someone gifted me a chromecast for Christmas, so I may be switching to Google Chrome.
I'm kind of an old dog that doesn't make changes too often, but when you get a gift from someone, you at least have to make an effort to use it if they thought you would appreciate it. So far my viewing of chromecast youtube videos puts it in my negative catagory. ... We shall see, I guess. I am bound by the gift oath to use it before judging it.

Things that break just before I leave town or while I'm gone. I swear, machines know when I'm gone or about to leave. Cars, house air conditioner, clothes dryer, TV...they're possessed, I tell you. A problem manifested on my vehicle this morning on my way to work. Hopefully it's an easy fix, but still...stoopid things!

1. Co-workers not doing a courtesy flush while in the restroom to get rid of the dookey smell.
2. Slow drivers riding the passing lane.
3. Freeloaders at tailgate parties.
4. Prejudice people.
5. Message Board trolls.
6. Favorite apps that puts viruses on my phone.
7. This weather right now.

I've taken to giving them a slight "hockey check" with a shoulder as they brush by so they will hopefully consider how stupid what they are doing is.
(except on the subway platform - too dangerous if there is a gap.)
This. ^
Plus people not knowing how to use the Card at the turnstiles, and refusing help, or is slow to accept help while holding up the line.
When I rode the train during Thanksgiving, I helped 2 ladies, and they didnt even say Thank You.

Why do I always have to get in line at the ATM behind people who seemingly do their entire month of banking at the machine at that time? Seriously, are they doing a withdrawal, or programming the damn thing? I didn't know it was possible to even access that many functions.

As was said earlier, going slow in the fast lane on the expressway annoys me to no end. You'll notice that the authorities even have signs placed every so often that say "slower traffic keep right". Even if you're already going the speed limit or even over it and you're in the left hand lane and someone (me) comes barreling up behind you, just move over and let them pass. It reduces traffic and is the courteous thing to do. There are apparently a lot of folks that don't realize this or even understand that the "fast lane" or "passing lane" is an actual thing and they're in it.
Also, when someone is going the wrong way in a one-way row in a parking lot I get really chapped. I've even been given the stank eye by said offender on more than one occasion like I'm the one in the wrong which really boils my blood.

1) Drivers that don't know they're supposed to use their headlights when they drive in the rain. On gloomy days like today it's hard to see some cars when other cars have their lights on like they're supposed to...
2) People (usually women) who walk in the early hours for exercise wearing dark clothing, and with no flashlights. Usually walking with traffic, totally oblivious to how close cars come to running them over because the drivers can't see them until the last second they come up behind them...
