I have lots of problems with Confederate soldiers, but you got to hand it to them. They were the ones who shot Stonewall Jackson.
Who is Ashby?
The boring one in Gone with the Wind?
I never saw that. I loved the Carol Burnett version though.
Mountain View and Honey Run are terrible names for schools, though. Mountain View is the Google HQ, and Honey Run sounds disgusting.
Save your Confederate money, boys, the South shall rise again.
6: the honey runs are a symptom, not the underlying diagnosis.
I can think of at least four possible definitions of "honey run" and three of them are disgusting in different ways. The only non-disgusting one is like a milk run or a beer run, but for honey.
I was supposed to buy apple cider vinegar, but instead I bought honey-cayanne apple cider vinegar cleanse. Those assholes need to make the labels better.
I don't want a laxative in my salad dressing.
The only non-disgusting one is like a milk run or a beer run, but into a honey trap.
I bought honey-cayanne apple cider vinegar cleanse. Those assholes need to make the labels better.
Okay, THAT is a commitment to closed-loop manufacturing.
Based on the OP, anything gross is on topic.
Those assholes need to make the labels better.
This is not how labels are made.
I am not sure I want to know the answer, but... "cleanse" implies what? Purgative? Laxative? Emetic? Drain unblocker? Hair conditioner?
Whatever happens when you drink vinegar, pepper, and honey.
Generally, you know that feeling when your internal organs get tired? Like your spleen or duodenum? Doing a cleanse is giving your organs a mental health day.
So you drink this stuff?
I mean, that's one of two obvious answers given 19.
I should point out here that I will believe virtually any answer you give here, so go wild. It can't be any weirder than using peroxide to clean out your ears, or the neti pot thing, or essentially anything Gwyneth Paltrow has done since 1998.
Yes, you're supposed to drink it.
No, you're supposed to drink it. And put that egg down, heebie, you don't know where it's been.
This is not how labels are made.
Somebody wasn't raised Baptist.
I might have to go to Waco. I don't think I've been to Texas as an adult.
That should have been in the wedding thread. Sorry.
wait - neti pots are controversial now??? just make sure to use boiled water so as to avoid brain eating amoebas. super helpful for asthmatics, seasonal airborne allergy sufferers & those with prenenially funky sinuses.
After what happened to RFK, Jr, I'm very worried about brain worms.
As someone with funky sinuses, I'm a huge neti pot fan. As soon as I get stuffy at all, I go for it immediately.
31: consistent use has been tremendously helpful at keeping my asthma under control (along with avoiding airborne triggers to the extent possible, enough sleep as work allows & (here i grant i stray into controversial territory) v v moderate but consistent sun exposure to keep my autoimmune tendencies under some check, see here https://journals.aai.org/jimmunol/article/207/9/2278/234543/Exposure-to-Systemic-Immunosuppressive-Ultraviolet, coupled of course with lavish sunscreen on face, neck, decolletage & hands.
I've heard good things about sunning your taint.
Inside a jade chicken, it's too dark to sun your taint.
According to the neighbors with windows overlooking my yard, it's not dark enough on my patio.
"Look at the moon! Look at the annular eclipse!"
Ever since Tucker Carlson left fox its like nobody even tans their balls anymore.
"wait - neti pots are controversial now??? just make sure to use boiled water so as to avoid brain eating amoebas."
I mean you have kind of answered your own question there.
Eggs? Particularly perverse. You'll never guess the shit those can carry unless you cook thoroughly.
I just keep some cobalt isotopes to irradiate them.
In Northern Virginia, it's common that creeks are called runs. Probably some local usage in the southwest on England or somthnf.
38: no - my point is that with this simple precaution, sinus irrigation is cheap, there's evidence that it is effective in a range of nose/respiratory-situations, & this is particularly welcome when there are not great alternatives. for example, if i can keep my asthma at bay, i don't need to take corticosteroids either by inhalation or systemically. corticosteroids have pretty nasty side effect!
neti pots don't belong in the crank category, but at the same time the need to use properly boiled water should go ubiquitously hand-in-hand with awareness of the usefulness of our little spouted nose friends.
friends - go forth & *safely* irrigate your schnozzes!
42: That's a Southwest Pennsylvania thing too.
I guess my fingers are clean enough.
Putting water up my nose is, to me, like sticking a finger in my eye. No neti pots or contact lenses for me.
Have you tried sticking a finger in your nose?
42, 44: Via a link from Obsidian Wings (!) here is a great map of watercourse names in the US. (Creek and River are shown as background.) The "run" area is a good chunk of the interior northern mid-Atlantic.
Some are called "drafts", which isn't even on the map.
That's a fun picture. I think I know some of the things called "slough" in Nebraska. You can't see it on the map, and it's unnamed, but my farm has a slough.
Though most things called a slough don't flow like a creek.
He was going to put them on the map, but when he started he got too despondent.
Slough:
a place of deep mud or mire
an inlet on a river (also : BACKWATER)
a state of moral degradation or spiritual dejection
a mass of dead tissue separating from an ulcer
something that may be shed or cast off
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slough
Wiktionary claims 4 geographically specific types of watery places:
(British) A muddy or marshy area.
(Eastern United States) A type of swamp or shallow lake system, typically formed as or by the backwater of a larger waterway, similar to a bayou with trees.
(Western US) A secondary channel of a river delta, usually flushed by the tide.
(Canadian Prairies) A small pond, often alkaline, many but not all formed by glacial potholes.
If you put "neti pot" in the same sentence as "brain eating amoeba", of course it sounds crazy. But Cassandane uses a CPAP machine for sleep apnea, and as I understand it the distilled water is recommended mainly to prevent bacteria growth or hard water deposits in the machine itself. You can't clean inside it with soap and water, like you might for silverware, cups, and other things that you use to put things inside your body, so the theory is to keep anything bad from getting inside it to begin with. Doesn't sound crazy to me.
Someone just shot Robert Fico, the prime minister of Slovakia. (Still alive but in hospital.) He's pro-Russian and an Orban ally, so it probably wasn't GRU.
Shoving out of windows remains a Czech thing.
Has there been a European head of government shot since Palme? Until today.

The new Apes movie is a well-wrought rip-roaring rollick of a feel-bad time.

Fico ... alive but in hospital
Hope he can still pay his mortgage on time.
60: PM of Serbia, in the 1990s.
2000s!

It's almost as if high-level corruption is bad for your health.
The soon-to-be president of Slovakia is Italian?
Modern borders are so confining.
Shooter was a poet, his son says no history of mental illness or inclination to violence.

That's impossible. All poets have one or the other.
He's in custody, still alive, so I guess is rather than was a poet. 71 years old.
Someone will put it on r/boomersbeingfools, probably right below someone else's story of rudeness to the waiters at Applebee's.
Is everything in The Mirror made up, or just most of it? They're reporting that Trump's jet was driven into a parked jet. I don't know if I can be elated yet.
It's a vicious underhanded tabloid but it hates Tories.
I guess it's in the Washington Post now.
That is, more omens that are this obvious.
Late to the party but re the OP and 1, Ashby was Turner Ashby, a confederate cavalry officer who reported to Stonewall Jackson. Killed in battle in the Shenanandoah Valley. As Mitch Landrieu said when taking down the New Orleans confed monuments, "They may have been warriors, but in this cause they were not patriots."
Apparently, you need to boil your water in Devon even if you aren't going to stick it up your nose.
57 sounds plenty crazy to me. You should make the machine of stainless steel and cook it on an induction plate.
48: Noting the use of "kill" in the mid-Hudson Valley, I note that I used to work for IBM in East Fishkill, NY. A friend of mine commented, "Sounds like one of the outlets from a nuclear powerplant."
Any powerplant, really. Warm water gets you algal blooms, eutrophication and deoxygenation.
It's the inlet that's the real fish-killer, though, not the outlet.
