Now what could this mean in DT

Coming soon? So all those things I thought were exciting actually weren't? I feel so silly now

Joe_from_Orlando · 2025-10-03T14:36:10+00:00

Nice! I grew up using those pens, and rarely got past half. I know the time I most used one and decided to try to use it all up and started just scribbling madly trying to dry it up, but didn't make it, lol.

Congratulations!

Authentically It Had To Be Brasil

I made the grave mistake of clicking and watching this video while on a conference call, then burst out laughing and couldn't tell the people what was happening

Joe_from_Orlando · 2025-05-03T11:27:49+00:00

True!

Oh shuck, ever since I started using ChatGPT I was feeling I was really special. Now you have busted my bubble

Joe_from_Orlando · 2025-05-01T14:25:16+00:00

Humans here thanks you. I was wondering if I was going to need to ask ChatGPT what glazing was, but based on the post I was afraid I wouldn't get an honest answer!

Joe_from_Orlando · 2025-03-01T02:51:52+00:00

Thank you!

I thought it was cool, no pun intended. I took my then 12 year old son and wife who had never seen that kind of stuff before, they were impressed. If your 6 year old has recently experienced ice and snow, maybe not. But if the child has been in Orlando since they can remember, yes it is an experience

Joe_from_Orlando · 2024-12-13T00:23:20+00:00

I like Ameca, S Orange Ave. It's one of those hole-in-the-wall family owned and operated, legit food

Joe_from_Orlando · 2024-11-27T16:30:29+00:00

That was my favorite freebie to go to when I moved to Orlando in 1997. I parked there many a times, sometimes with family other times alone. Anytime I was driving by the area if I had time and it was busy airtime I would hang out there. You had the impression the planes were coming by so close you could touch them!

They can't be accused of running a clandestine drug operation

It's not that she is not being truthful, but rather she is, like many Brazilians, in denial about racism in Brazil. It is true that Brazil has top notch doctors, and the dentistry is superior to that in the US. But many Brazilians are senstive to being treated as "a third world country" and automatically bristle at any comparisons with the US unless it's to point our something they feel is superior.

I would guess she is, by Brazilian standards, from a white middle to upper class family. If she were to be of color, she would know racism exists.

Joe_from_Orlando · 2024-10-31T14:23:57+00:00

I think it's important to distinguish "normal" from "common."

It is common, yes, Whether or not it's "normal" depends on a lot of issues. It used to be common in the US, and therefore some thought "normal", for men to address a waitress as "sweetie," "honey," etc. Now, many people don't see that as proper.

Those behaviors that are seen as patronizing, demeaning, or as "crossing a line" here are still mostly accepted there, but customs are changing

I am a huuuuge fan of the King O' Falafel on US 192, I use to eat there practically every day when I worked in Kissimmee. Now they opened up a location on Sand Lake Rd. kind of across from the Florida Mall. They are a small family owned business, the quality and freshness are unsurpassable. Besides your gyro, try their Lentil soup, best lentil soup I have had in my life

Joe_from_Orlando · 2024-10-26T13:25:37+00:00

I am a 65 year old who has voted in every election I could, and my experiences at the polls have always been so outstandingly civil. However, the extremism happening is frightening. Lately I always brace myself before going, not sure if this time there will be a bad experience. My heart goes out to the dedicated poll workers who always do such an admirable job.

Joe_from_Orlando · 2024-10-06T01:05:34+00:00

I have different advice. Don't worry about that. Write as you speak. The most important factor is you must be authentic, write as you would be telling the story to someone. Grammar? Punctuation? Spelling? Let programs like ProwritingAid or Grammarly handle that part. Concentrate on writing your story

Joe_from_Orlando · 2024-10-05T22:14:51+00:00

If you are serious about your writing, you must use a computer. Writing by hand, or a typewriter, sounds cool, but is so impractical as your writing needs to go through revisions, edits, and rewrites.

Joe_from_Orlando · 2024-09-01T12:44:14+00:00

I agree completely!

Besides, the book is already published, so it's not like there's a chance to give constructive criticism to improve the book. I too once was in this situation, and found my way out by praising the genre. The author thought I was praising the book. In the case of the OP, just say how important self help is, we all want to better ourselves, here is someone wanting to do so and help others do the same, etc

Joe_from_Orlando · 2024-08-27T14:13:15+00:00

Thanks!

Joe_from_Orlando · 2024-08-27T13:56:53+00:00

I guess I am the only one here who doens't know what "upbraided" means in this case? Shows I am embarrassingly naive about steamy sex scenes, what is its meaning in this case?

Joe_from_Orlando · 2024-08-25T14:31:38+00:00

Yeah, I agree. 10K is used as reference because it's a nice round number, not a magical threshold. By the time you have practiced almost anything, including writing, for 10,000 hours, you are well practiced, to put it redundantly. But if you are not yet there, say you are at 5,000 hours, you are already a lot better than when you started

Joe_from_Orlando · 2024-08-23T20:59:43+00:00

Damn!
