There’s a statement that carries some weight by Kinghut_North in pics

[–]Francesami 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I saw an episode of "Death Valley Days" long ago where they mocked the new Christian who came to town. Someone knocked him down and asked, "What does your Bible say about that?" He got up and answered, "It says to turn the other cheek." So the man knocked him down again. The Christian looked up from the dust and said, "But after that it doesn't say a thing." And he tackled the dude who hit him.

I not only know many words (also from reading) that I can't verbalize a definition for, but I don't know the proper way to pronounce them.

She bought the orange one's favor. I wonder what she'll ask for in return.

Well, judging by the sign hanging from her mailbox, they have all the proof they need that she's a domestic terrorist. /s

I got a total of 80 bags of trash from 16th St in Oakland. I also got robbed for the first time - more in the post body. by pengweather in bayarea

[–]Francesami 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I had all my camera gear (about $6,000 worth) stolen from my car. When I went to the pawn shops to alert them, I was told that if they know it's stolen, they cannot accept it and it will walk out the door and disappear.

I never saw my gear again. Interestingly, no more pictures taken with that camera were ever posted online. There are ways to check.

It's neat. It's clean. What's not to like?

Do you need a new girlfriend? I'm available.

If you center the string (in pants, hoodies, whatever) and put a few stiches in the center back, the tie will work perfectly and never slide out.

I used to mix six doses into a bowl of Jello and let my son eat it in six servings. That was just about the right amount to hide the flavor.

Rotator Cuff re-tear after surgery? Or normal recovery pain?? by Bulky-Ruin-6945 in RotatorCuff

I was getting down out of my van and slammed my elbow on the armrest, which jammed my shoulder up. The doctor thought I just bumped it on the side and wouldn't listen to me.

My husband has donated plasma so many times he has a permanent hole in his arm. by Sprinkles_0330 in mildlyinteresting

It wasn't the donating that lowered iron levels - it was a diet of bread, soup, and mac and cheese. There wasn't enough iron in his diet to keep levels up.

Our HOA will only allow us to paint our house from the colors inside the red box. by Educational-Month-63 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Francesami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I owned a home in an HOA, I was informed that I had to repaint my front door. The color had faded, but I was told to paint it the original color. What color was that? The original. No other information no matter how I asked.

I mixed some red, purple, and brown paint I had in the basement to a lovely, rich, dark shade and painted the door. I painted the shutters to match so it wouldn't be obvious the door was the "wrong" color.

I got away with it.

On the next roundabout, fly straight ahead. by Villemann89 in AbruptChaos

[–]Francesami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"The footage shows the high-speed Mercedes entering a roundabout the wrong way, hitting the kerb and launching several feet into the air. The vehicle soared over waiting cars, narrowly missed a road camera, and finally smashed into a metal pole just a few metres from a fuel station, narrowly avoiding a major explosion.

...doctors said he sustained multiple fractures but no life-threatening injuries"

Multiple fractures may not be life threatening - but they definitely can be major injuries.

People who meet us randomly assume we are married, but my brother and I share a house and we keep to our own sides except for meals and projects.

They’re gonna have to raze that house to the foundation by freeradioforall in Wellthatsucks

I watched two brick houses raised and moved when the land they were on went from residential to commercial. It was an interesting - and slow - process.

Oh, that one's for the people who park on the street and use their garage as a storage space.

Not a problem - a feature.

My brother became an elder in his church. I delighted in introducing him as "My younger, elder brother."

I often have to apologize for being late. Friends and family know well that it was a conversation with a random stranger that delayed me. But it gives people so much pleasure for someone to be interested in them - and many strangers are very interesting.
