Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

This was many years ago but it popped into my head. My parents were helping me move into a new house and the house next door had a new owner who was moving in too. My mother was talking to him and one of the first things she told him without any prompting was that I was living alone. Why on earth would you volunteer such info?

Parents can be silly

Pretty popular work brand.

Thanks.
One thing I see all the time here that I don't understand, is how they decide on the names of neighborhoods around here. There are a ton of them around here named ___ Farms or ___ Ranch, but they're all just regular neighborhoods. I actually went into a ____ Farms neighborhood a couple months ago hoping to see some animals, but it was just a normal neighborhood.

Usually because the land use to be farms. So development companies pick an appealing name.

OK, I see.

OMG I mean but that ship looks cool despite traitors, similar ship in the movie Sahara

I'm a U.S. Civil War or as some would term it The Late Unpleasantness, nerd. There are other ironclads that were more successful than the sunken Ark...

Growing up, I lived in a neighbourhood called ______ Park, and I did not live in a park. Now, I live in a neighbourhood called ______ Heights, and it is not really any higher than anywhere else around here.

It's all lies.

(To be fair, looking at Google maps just now, it looks like they have removed the "Park" from my old neighbourhood's name, and now it is just _________. So at least the city has taken some steps to partially correct their dishonesty. )

Land development is all lies.

I have not researched it, but are there any star ship designs based upon ironclads?

I don't know but now that you have mentioned it the general shape and all I can picture a ship or shuttle with that shape able to land on water or land and fly, and it would just look amazing.

I'm OK with that, as long as it never gets worse.

I can handle it.

Got home/back to Oahu on Thursday night after being on Big Island since Tuesday, and was reminded within 10 minutes why I prefer the other islands… people yelling at each other, Bro dudes in their Poser Tacoma Trucks, Testosterone Vortex, etc.

*Ugh*

That reminds me of Hawaii 5-0 (the new version): Not once in a million years would I have EVER guessed that Alex O'Loughlin is Australian. Dude must have the world's best dialect coach!

I'm glad.

I remember remarking once about women voice defending shaving their underarms (she seemed to genuinely enjoy it), but I remember another one defending how wonderful they thought high heels were. I mean, shaving any body part is annoying and time consuming, but unlikely to cause significant injury beyond razor burn or a slight cut. High heels are sprained ankles waiting to happen, but this lady talked about them like I would talk about a pizza party.

Not judging, mind you, I support free choice as long as no one else is harmed... but I just don't get it.

Why does wet weather seem to make some drivers go crazier then usual on the road?

The most dangerous part of wet weather is the first rain because it brings all the oils to the surface and people treat the roads like normal when they are not as safe.

Its annoying.
