I know that sometimes people may have thoughts buzzing around their head’s and may need a place to get them out. If that’s the case, or you just have a random fact or thought you‘d like to share, you can do so here. Keep in mind, people may or may not respond. If someone doesn’t respond/reply to your post, it’s nothing against you. Not everything will vibe with everyone here.
Also, please try to keep your posts in good taste. This is Marina’s site and I want to keep it as positive and welcoming for her and her fans as I can. A good rule of thumb is that if you’re not sure if your post is appropriate or not, than don’t post it. Hope this helps. And Marina, if you’d like me to remove this thread, please let me know and I will do so straightaway.

Anybody ever read the book Latina Pro Populo (Latin For People)? It gives you an interesting insight into the language. And when you're done reading the book, you and even speak a little Latin to impress your friends. I think the two of them were drunk as they wrote it though. Or high.
I don't know if I ever shared this meme I made with you. It's actually my second version. I've been sharing with a number of people. I got it from "A Christmas Carol", which was just accidental. Actually I like that novel and movies too. Could a person really be shown the error of his or her ways in one night? And made to reform?
Well, as long as I'm sharing family pictures, I've got to share this one. It seems in the early 70's my Uncle Chet got a new camera with a timer on it (how could he afford stuff like that?). Anyways, it came in handy. And it captured some interesting moments. On the left, my paternal grandparents (right side of dining room table) are meeting my Uncle Chet for the first time. It' January of 1966. They don't know quite what to make of him (look at my grandfather's expression). My parents, to the left, are fairly unaffected by it all. And Uncle Chet's wife, at the window, is thinking "Honey, you're overdoing it". And the reason she's thinking that, is because he's probably joking around, perhaps in the middle of some comedy routine. He sits down momentarily to take the picture though. On the right is my house Christmas Eve 1972. There's nothing otherwise special about the picture. Except the fact that my uncle didn't get back from setting the timer on the camera in time. He's probably saying "say 'cheese'" or something like that as the picture is taken LOL.
Mom and Dad at my grandma's house around 1968.
Wouldn't it be great if this substance really existed? To deal with the loss of a loved one or some other trauma? And wouldn't it be great if other emotionally needs could be fulfilled with medical substances?
Things like friendship and support are important. But not everyone has access to those things in their lives.
I don't know where all of you stand on the issues. But I'll share this anyways.
Gay marriage in the the United States is safe. For now. Here's why.
Chief Justice Roberts' pro-life credentials are impeccable. But he's a decent man. And he would never upset a precedent like Obergefell v. Hodges. Look at how he voted on Roe v. Wade. Plus he believes in limited gay rights. I'm serious. Gorsuch believes in limited gay rights too. But he voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. I think he'd still vote to uphold Obergefell v. Hodges though. So that's 5-4 by my math in favor of Obergefell v. Hodges.
But only one more vote would be needed to overturn it. So get off your butt and vote next time. And encourage others to vote too. Even if you think your neighbor will vote against, encourage them to vote. The more people who vote, the better.
Okay, one more for today...
Just made these.
Are there any linguists here or anyone who’s good with identifying accents? Ok, so, I was watching a video that discussed Received Pronunciation and identifying different linguistic features. It got me thinking how oftentimes people can never tell where I’m from when they hear me speak. I sometimes joke that I have the Deanna Troi of accents b/c it’s an amagalation of a few different accents and it very difficult to pinpoint. So, I’m just curious, if you’re well-versed in linguistics or good at identifying accents, how you would label mine.
I also know Marina is good at doing/mimicking accents; I’m curious to see if she could replicate my accent. Although if anyone could it would be Marina since she did the Troi accent. I can post a video of me speaking if you’d like. All I ask is that you don’t share it elsewhere.
Killing flies humanely. Just squirt them with alcohol. Isopropyl would be fine. And for some reason it always seems to take two squirts.
Does anyone else use Wordpad docs to make their own memes? I wonder if I ever had to get a laptop if Wordpad will still be available on it. I've grown accustomed to it. How do Y
ou make your memes?
