I bet you've never....

It's always kind of amazing to me what construction guys are enlisted to do. Like it's OK to ask them to do practically anything. I mean - do you think they'd ask a public accountant to do that? "are there any administrative assistants here that can help us stuff this fat guy into a body bag?" No. But nab a construction guy hammering or painting, minding his own business and it's quite alright. Don't worry about that little infectious disease that killed him - besides, you don't have much to live for anyway. It's sick!

Popcorn is what they call the bumpy stuff....

I go through periods of digesting copious amounts of literature. I bought a kindle paperwhite a few years ago, but chose to put it away after a while because reading four books a week was way too much My daughter once read through a top hundred list of classics' titles testing me to see if I could name the authors, which I could for the most part. When she wanted to know how I knew them all I confessed that it was because I had read most of them. Some I had tried but could not, like James Joyce's Ulysses. During the time I was reading Jean Auel's fictional Earth Children series, on the interactions of Cro-Magnon people with Neanderthals, when the third book finally came out, I read it immediately, and then thought, Oh! I should have read the second book again before reading this third one, so I did that... and then I thought, Oh! I should have re-read the first book first, so I did that, and then re-re-read the second book, and then read the third book again, all within a month of reading the third book in the series for the first time Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice was the first book I read sitting in front of my desktop computer. Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged was the book I was reading on my computer when I got the Kindle Paperwhite. The mistakes in it were so bad that there were times I had to find where I was in the PDF copy so I could figure out the meaning of a particular sentence. I have read it six times now but never been able to read through John Galt's entire speech

so many interesting people on this forum. im in awe.

Randal Monroe, author of xkcd comic and an atheist, said this: "I had a hard time reading Ayn Rand because I found myself enthusiastically agreeing with 90% of everything she said, but getting lost at 'Therefore, be a big jerk to everybody.'"

I bet you've never... accidentally flooded a chat room with more than a hundred old Peanuts comics.

No I wasn't trolling. It really was an accident. I swear it was.

Ummm... huh? Ok, maybe I just missed something, but how do you flood a chatroom with comic books. And no, I'm not a "Block head" (extra points to anyone that caught the reference) just doesn't make sense to me so hoping to get clarification 🤪

The chat room supports pictures and I dumped a whole folder of pictures in the wrong window.

Okay donkey. Thanks for the clarification on that. No X-Men or Spiderman huh? Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me.

at one time in my life, around two decades ago, when I was reading 2 or 3 novels at the same time,
the formulas were becoming smaller and smaller and I was discerning the perimeter of the thought processes
of the circle of the authors mind-sets - I hit 'the-wall', I GOT IT, I was DONE!!! -
ECC. 12:12.
And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

since this realization, I have not read another novel, have no desire to - my only desire is to read 'God's Words',
for this is now my 'new-life's' journey, to enjoin my Spirit with His Spirit, by His Holy Words...

Yeah, oldthennew, if you read books off the rack at Walmart you get a lot of that. They follow forumlas for their plots and after a while you get the impression you are reading the same few books over and over.
