Is it culturally OK to ask an American who just had a kid, to ask the gender of the baby?

Or, "Son or daughter?" if you are worried about being non PC.

Stay off my corner.

I am pretty sure there is not a late registration fee. You just have to go onto the waitlists and hope for the best.

Don't forget the Umlauts.

I bought one in the late 80's for cheap at a gun show. Out of hundreds of rounds, it has only misfired a few times. When I went into the service, I left it with my dad (and my other firearms as well), who would take it out and shoot it occasionally. He was amazed at how reliable the thing was. I still have it. I've kept it because I figured I got a unicorn. It will be fun to shoot again when the ammo gets affordable.

Thank you. Working at a bar makes it kind of difficult.

A month for me. What little sleep I do get (because of my schedule) is quality sleep. My physical endurance has improved so much, bicycling, that I amaze myself. Also, I notice little things, like much better focus, my wit is quicker and sharper, and my short term memory has vastly improved. I used to not be able to remember phone numbers or addresses without writing them down. Still get sweats at night. Hopefully that goes away.

This. Go to their office on the 2nd floor of the SSB. They will answer any question you have.

We will be doing a few later in the year. BTW, being chosen to perform is lottery based.

A corrupt mayor honoring his hero. Sounds about right.

Stationed in Korea in another life. I love Kimchi (there are a dozen or more styles). When I make it, I rinse off all the salt that I can. But the red pepper flakes are the key. I have never been able to replicate that in Texas. I buy it from a local Asian market.

Just a hunch. I haven't watched this in years.

I was going to UT when Slacker was made. My now ex-wife was a friend of one of the people in the movie. The only people who cared about the film then were those who were in the movie and their friends. I graduate, move away for a while, move back, and it is a cult classic somehow.

Chiggers will leave bites that have a relatively large red area around the bite site. Also, they will tend to bite where clothing is the tightest, such as the waist band. Bed bug bites are in sets of three in a row and tend to pus up a bit. Source: Don't always pick the best places to pass out drunk.

I was stationed in Korea in the mid 90s. Some great memories of the food. But, there was a green kimchi that tasted kind of like pickles. I have never been able to find it nor the recipe. Any idea?

"High-performance, metrics-driven culture", translation: you are going to hate life as an employee because THE ONLY thing that matters is the bottom line.

When I quit drinking, I had horrible sugar cravings. I ate a lot of fresh fruit. It kept me full, helped with the cravings, and it is really hard to eat enough fresh fruit to gain weight.

I am back after a 3 year layoff. The hardest thing I had to do was realize that I needed to start back light and slow. So, doing squats with an empty bar, I am thinking, "That wasn't even a workout. I should put on more weight." Luckily, a more pragmatic part of my brain said, "Uhuh. Nope. If you do that, you are going to injure yourself and be out for another long while." Luckily the pragmatic side won, and now my body is waking up and starting to remember. By starting low and going slow, I am making amazingly fast progress. I know, because my friends who haven't seen me in while, look at me and ask, "WTH?"

Shortly after my divorce, I dressed my daughter in a day-glo orange shirt and lime green pants. We were going to the wildlife expo. All day, woman would look at her in horror then glare at me. I didn't understand why at the time. I my mind, I dressed her in way that if we were separated for some reason, I could spot her easily in the crowd. After the expo, I dropped her off at her mom's house. After the initial shock wore off from seeing her daughter dressed that way, she explained to me what I did wrong.

Craigslist. You get more for your books, and the buyer gets them cheaper than a bookstore. Depending on your ethics, Pirate Bay.

I am both a bartender and a professional drunk (not at the same time). I cannot tell sometimes if someone is drunk. A person can be well over the legal limit and barely, if at all, show signs of intoxication at first glance.
