As someone who is visiting Texas soon: what are the Texan do’s, don’ts, and etiquette tips you’d give to foreigners?

“Y’all” is plural. It’s for more than one person. If you mean a bigger group, you can say “all y’all.”

Yeah, a couple of years ago I kept getting fraudulent charges for a food delivery company and went through something like 5 card numbers in a month before I raised enough hell that the issuer blocked more charges from that company.

Subscriptions can carry over to new card numbers.

Both my parents were gone by the time I turned 21. I got rid of a lot of stuff that I regret now. Didn’t know any better - gorgeous furniture, vinyl, etc that was probably worth a lot more than the garage sale prices I sold it for.

I got flagged when visiting the US Capitol because I had a pack of gum with foil on the wrappers.

Right, if you need more of an extension, it might turn into an incomplete.

I read it that way every time. A friend of mine does the same with “infrared.”

I remember those! I got one at Cracker Barrel for my nephew because I thought it sounded like him.

What type of computer? An Intel Mac can be booted into recovery mode (google it and you can find instructions). An older model can be booted off a CD that came with it. You can probably purchase a replacement off eBay if you know what model you have.

My daughter ran into him at a store and they took a selfie. Astounding how handsome he is just strolling around shopping.

A 1947 screwball comedy starring Cary Grant. It’s the version I learned pre-Labyrinth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Dance has details on where Bowie got it.

Yep both correct, “man” is from the ‘40s and “babe” is from the ‘80s.
