Thanks, Katya! Hopefully the people I emailed feel the same as you do.

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
Alright team, would you consider the word "lackluster" slang? Because my small group communication professor apparently does, and docked me points for it. \
She also took off points for starting a sentence with "This," saying "What is 'this' referring to?" when she would have known if she had READ THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT "This" WAS REFERRING TO BECAUSE IT WAS TOO LONG TO PUT IN AS A SUBJECT OF A SENTENCE.

hmmm, I think "lackluster" doesn't sound professional, at the very least.

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
Does it help if I spell it lacklustre? /s
Also, it's really hard to write without saying "This" to elaborate on the previous sentence. As a result, I'm basically babbling a lot trying to come up with alternate ways to say it.

Was that her exact question? Because if so, she ended a sentence with a preposition!Giovanni Schwartz wrote:She also took off points for starting a sentence with "This," saying "What is 'this' referring to?"

I just now accidentally learned that pressing the spacebar pages down in a browser. I wonder how long most browsers have done that, since always?

It's done that ever since I can remember, so it's been around for a while.

Ctrl+Enter puts in the www. and .com in the address bar so you don't have to.

Vienna's Zac Efron crush made me look up his age. He's exactly my age, 27! I don't know what to think. I thought he was much younger. Crush on.
Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
haha. He does have a baby face, and his association with High School Musical makes me think of him as young. I'm not sure if I've seen him in anything where he wasn't playing a high school student, come to think of it.
Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
In "Neighbors," he plays a frat boy, so probably about 21. That came out within the past year or two.Whistler wrote:haha.

Apparently I'm much more attracted to (somewhat) older men (Michael Fassbender is my kryptonite.)
Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
My grandpa gave me some (older) skiis, but they don't have the boots that click into them. Are skii clicking mechanisms pretty standardized, or are they useless without the matching boots?
Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
huh, maybe I should just get rid of them ;;; http://www.theskidiva.com/forums/index. ... ots.15802/

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
You can get the bindings on the skis adjusted to fit the boots you have. I would go to a ski shop and see what they say about adjusting them. I just bought some used skis that are from the 90s but are in really good condition and the bindings were able to be adjusted for some boots I rented for the day.

My three-year-old is rather punctilious. The other day, his show ended on Netflix and he wanted to start the next one on the Roku. He couldn't find the Roku remote, so he went and grabbed my wife's phone, which was open on the Facebook app. He exited that, scrolled a few pages to the Roku app, opened it, started his show, and then closed out and went back and opened the Facebook app as it was before he picked it up.

hmmm, okay. You're not worried about the materials on the skis being deteriorated because of their age?Shrinky Dink wrote:You can get the bindings on the skis adjusted to fit the boots you have.
