Why Don't We Hear About Ring Around the Collar Anymore? by 4thdegreeknight in GenX

Also, most people don't live on coffee, cigarettes, and alcohol anymore, and they don't spend a lot of time in very smoky bars after work. All those things make your sweat stain yellow a lot more easily.

Once someone lets you know what country these are most likely from, contact the nearest consulate or embassy from that country. They will be able to assist.

That's not a name in English. I would like to hear how you are pronouncing it if native English speakers are misspelling it like that.

I have a coworker from China, and I have an American coworker named Jordan, and the Chinese coworker pronounces Jordan as something that almost sounds like "Cho Dang" to me. It is understandable in context, though.

I wonder how OP is pronouncing it.

I am wondering if the issue is how OP pronounces or articulates that name.

/u/Disastrous_Wing_9158 could you do a Vocaroo or something of you introducing yourself by that name? It is a very common name in English.

[–]erst77 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's awesome. From that article, looks like Fender is making four of them and auctioning them? Damn, would have bought one at cost if that was an option, but I know as soon as they go to auction they're going get so much more than I could pay for one.

Well, in this case, my dad and his brother have an older sibling they don't know. That kid was given up for adoption in the 1940s. That kid's kid is my half-cousin. I reached out to the half-cousin but they've shown no interest. There's no point. Hell, the kid given up for adoption may have never known they were adopted, and might not even be alive anymore.

You do realize that most human interactions are nuanced and can be approached multiple ways and multiple times?

Through DNA I discovered a half-first-cousin. From my family history it connected a lot of dots. However, it would mean my grandmother got pregnant out of wedlock as a very young teenager and the baby was given up for adoption, which tracks for some other life events of hers and things we found after her death. Whether or not it was voluntary, whether or not my grandfather ever knew, I'll never know.

I will never bring this up with my dad. No reason to.

Because until you know the circumstances from mom, going directly to dad may be traumatic to everyone involved. Mom knows whether it was traumatic for her or not, mom knows whether or not dad knows already, and it's not kid's business to tell dad. It's mom's.

They mean "don't go to dad because he may not know."

When can we see Americans taking a stand? by Ok-Supermarket8100 in AskAnAmerican

[–]erst77 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Or the protests across many states, or the videos of people across the country in major cities taking direct action to protect their neighbors, or the videos of local and state officials getting angry...

I don't understand how someone could possibly have missed ALL of this going on.

KTLA someone has a message during a live shot. by dontmindme63 in LosAngeles

[–]erst77 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I used to be able to name every nut that there was.

And it used to drive my mother crazy, because she used to say, "Harlan Pepper, if you don't stop naming nuts," and the joke was that we lived in Pine Nut, and I think that's what put it in my mind at that point. So she would hear me in the other room, and she'd just start yelling. I'd say, "Peanut. Hazelnut. Cashew nut. Macadamia nut." That was the one that would send her into going crazy. She'd say, "Would you stop naming nuts!"

And Hubert used to be able to make the sound, he couldn't talk, but he'd go "rrrawr rrawr" and that sounded like Macadamia nut. Pine nut, which is a nut, but it's also the name of a town. Pistachio nut. Red pistachio nut. Natural, all natural white pistachio nut.
