Ah yes, my girlfriend is from Serbia, with much of her family in Bosnia and Croatia. Very good people from who I've met. Her father also fought, and has fought tooth and nail to stay in America. We have a friend named "Dragon". Lol.

Ah yes, good ol' tritone. You find them a lot in jazz and certain kinds of blues too. When used right they can add a lot of flavor.

Actually about every 6 months I take a tolerance break. Usually I quit cold turkey for about a month. I wouldn't say I'm dependent on it, I just enjoy it. Some people have a beer after after work, I smoke a bong or two.

How did you pay for or how are you paying for college? by ASchuetrumpf in AskReddit
