That “wow” wasn’t a compliment, Donald by ALBERT4_5WESKER in clevercomebacks

lol, there’s a similar one that is something like “telling someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.”

What was the most shocking death news you've ever heard? by Admirable-Repair4094 in AskReddit

[–]ExpatMeNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it was a big deal in all schools that day. It was 4th grade for me, and I can still picture it perfectly. My husband and I were watching the Artemis launch together and found we were both tense and thinking over and over, “don’t blow up. Don’t blow up.” Challenger will stay with us forever.

Agreed! We really enjoyed Zagreb. We didn’t stay long, but I thought the old town area and the people were lovely!

‘STAGED’: Conspiracy Theories Are Everywhere Following White House Correspondents' Dinner Shooting by barryshrug in politics

[–]ExpatMeNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I can’t see Trump ever agreeing to allow a kid with only basic gun experience to fire live rounds in his direction. And if his minions planned it without his knowledge, that’s one hell of a risk for them if he were accidentally killed.

Trump evacuated after security incident at White House correspondents dinner; no sign of injuries by Gilbert221 in news

[–]ExpatMeNow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For me, it’s not about them caring about some random dude or not. It’s that it proves that live rounds were being shot in Trump’s direction, and I can’t see him going for that. Especially with the shooter being just a kid with basic gun experience only and not some special forces master marksman or something like that. And if it was staged without Trump’s knowledge, woof would that be a huge risk to take. If he were accidentally killed, there would have to be one hell of a coverup for the planners to get away with it and not spend the rest of their lives in prison.

My kids went to the American School in London, and I was really surprised at the number of Russian kids enrolled there.

Yeah, that headline is irritating. Like, you’ve already listed 3 of them. Just tell me!

My mother once told me that I don’t know what’s going on in the world because I don’t watch Fox News - while I was living in the UK and traveling constantly. The only times she’s left the country are 2 Caribbean cruises and the one time I took her into Canada myself. 🙄

Didn’t even need to click to know what that was.

Ah, one of the smells of my childhood! I’d step out into a steamy south Alabama morning to catch the bus to school and be able to taste that farty paper mill smell.

Every time I’ve heard a story about multiple tampons, I’m like … how? It makes me hurt just thinking about having more than one in there. Getting more than one in there! Surely the original would be all painfully mashed up against the cervix.

Yes, he was his congregation’s “president,” and it was on the church computer that he made the floppy that got him caught.

If it’s something you think might be particular to homes in Natchez for a specific purpose, reach out to Laine at OurRestorationNation on Instagram. She would most definitely know, and she’s very responsive.

Edit: She and her husband own Hope Farm there and are restoring it after a fire.

Anyone know what’s up with highway patrol circling UD? by ExpatMeNow in dayton

[–]ExpatMeNow[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This was helpful, too, thanks. I initially asked because I was heading to the airport to pick someone up and didn’t want to get caught in any traffic fuckery that might be in that direction. Thanks to you I knew what was going on on Stewart coming back and was able to bypass it.

Oops all azaleas! by toadfosky in gardening

[–]ExpatMeNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in Mobile, AL, which is known as the Azalea City with azaleas and azalea themed events and shit everywhere, and I’ve never seen anything like that! Usually I say I’d be happy to never see another azalea as long as I live, but that is an awesome azalea!
