Just ewww.
Tell me about it.
On a completely different note, the glove box door in my car won’t stay closed.
Speaking of notes, did you know the easy mnemonics for memorizing the notes of the musical staff?
Treble Clef: Ecery Good Boy Deserves Fudge.
Bass Clef: A Father Does Buy Goodies.

Of course, that should have been “every”… sigh. Don’t know where my brain is at these days, especially today. Maybe I need more sleep.
And here all these years I thought it was Every Good Boy Does Fine
You know, I’d never heard that.
Of course, there is the variation of Every Good Boy Deserves Fun…
I always heard it Every Good Boy Deserves Favor…
Gee, I thought it was EddyGeddyBeddyDeddyFeddy.
Ha! Nice one there, ETF.
Is it normal to want to go to the bathroom immediately after you eat something? Anyone know?

Sometimes I find that, yes, I do need to, ah, make room in the digestive apparatus right after a meal. I daresay it depends on just how far along the previous ingestions are.
I drink a lot of water with each meal, and generally that leads very soon to frequent deliquefying trips to the loo.
I’m tired, so

That (running for the loo upon finishing the last bite) can often be a symptom. Something about an excess of bile in the GI tract.
OMG that’s funny!!!
Personally, I find that if I eat too much, I want to blow chunks! Not the other…
This thread definately needs a change of topic. Anyone interested in discussing antidisestablishmentarianism and it’s effects on message board community dynamics?
I thought the idea was to change the topic every post. With that in mind, I think I would rather discuss why I left my sunroof somewhat open, and woke up to heavy rain this morning. At least the inside isn’t soaked.
Once, I left the sunroof completely open at work, and I didn’t manage to get back to close it until several minutes after the heavy rain started. That was a mess. I was working as a safety manager for a construction management company, and I was on the far other end of this big site when the rain started. Despite hurrying, I did not manage to close the sunroof until it got everything in my car soaked.

Speaking of passages that could stand editing, a sentence in this article from the Houston Chronicle refers to a pirated version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix being hawked for "around 25 dollars" in Venezuela. Since the **** symbol means “dollars”, either “$25” or “twenty-five dollars” would be the correct phrasing.
Good point. Why don’t you email readerrep@chron.com and let them know?
Speaking of bad grammar and spelling:
I decided recently to get and read a copy of the Qur’an. I’ve read the entire Bible, so I figured I wanted to at least know where Muslims are coming from. I got a free copy in the mail, and started reading it. (still waiting on my copy of the book of Mormon). The main thing I have gotten from it, is that before translating something into English, it ought to be a prerequisite to actually LEARN English first.
I am about 3/4 of the way through it, and it averages 1-2 misspellings per page, and has wretched grammar mistakes.
Sometimes it can take awhile. If you will email your mailing address to myusername at aol or yahoo, I will pop one in the mail to you by Monday. Please put SDMB in the subject line because I am rather vicious about deleting email from names I do not recognized without even opening it.
