HoustonLynne Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I hate it when people say "flipping," instead of the real F word. Just skip it. The emphasis is lost. +1 On a similar topic...I hate when they put movies and shows on TV that were originally R rated and remove the curse words and think it is acceptable. It is absolutely not. If you have to bleep out more than 3 words, don't show it, you probably already ruined the movie. I also hate that they bleep words out at all, but that is another topic for another day... I tried watching a Katt Williams stand-up act on Comedy Central. There were more bleeps than words. Couldn't understand a "flipping" thing.

cashnocredit Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Illogical product claims. Using 1x less of something would be zero usage. How would you use 4x less? This is a classic area of language where one has to look at context to determine the intended meaning due to widespread innumeracy. Math confuses people and confused people don't write clearly. Consider this: Two teachers were competing to see who's kids would do better over the school year. The kids were tested half way though the year and again at the end of the year. In one class scores went down 20% then went up 30% in the second half. In the other class the scores increased 3% after the first half and another 2% after the second half. Which class had the greatest increase in scores overall since the start of the year? Answers: The first class had a net increase of 4%, the second class increase was 5.06% Words have meaning. The following are both correct statements about the annualized results: The second class had a 1.06% score improvement differential compared to the first class. The second class had scores that were 1.02% higher than the first class. --- For those that read the initial post: it's early in the morning and my coffee IV hadn't taken effect.

nysbadmk8 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 People who haggle with me on something I know they can't get elsewhere. This happens EVERYDAY. Makes for some funny listening too for my employees. The potential customer freaks when I start going up with the price rather then down.

Is it the texture? I cook mine in almond milk, with raisins, Splenda® and a dash of good Madagascar vanilla. At the end it gets a hefty dose of Penzeys Vietnamese cinnamon. It's sex in a bowl for breakfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your recipe sounds sufficiently taste altering to be interesting, maybe even yummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv91915 Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 I really wish they'd stop selling rolls of paper towels that have the perforations spaced too close together. I keep buying them by mistake. I never want HALF a paper towel. I want an entire paper towel, every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
