I have some chocolate-chip cookies which usually go in the cupboard. However it's hot and the chocolate is melting. Would it be OK to put it in the fridge so the chocolate stops melting? I'm afraid they might get condension and weird.

 

[Arakhor]

I frequently put chocolate in the fridge, including biscuits. They should be fine.

Bad Arakhor! They're cookies, not biscuts!

 

[Arakhor]

The only cookies I put in the fridge are biscuits called "Maryland Cookies".

At least you do somethings right. If you tea-drinking American-wannabes want some sense of order to your life, start calling biscuts cookies, or cats will walk backwards and Thatcher will come back to life and start arguing for an expansion of the welfare state.

Given that she's not yet dead, that's not completely impossible!

 

[Ajidica]

She isn't?
Whoops.

Whoops.

Admittedly the difference between Thatcher at present and her resurrected, homicidal, zombified form aren't too easy to spot.

What 10 skills that can be learnt with a reasonable amount of work will impress women the most?

Thinking of learning magic tricks and getting a motorcycle driver's license (I want to do both for other reasons).

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Being tolerant of other races and societies.

 

[Ajidica]

Cook well, cleaning, and being able to feign interest in what they are talking about.

A new one?

New computers are average. They usually go for a sale. If they don't do the job, wait a year and then buy that years "new" one.

Whatever you do, do not buy the current "top of the line". They will not be as "fast" as the "average" one next year.

So, around a $500 laptop then (no, I don't have space for a desktop)?

Left a cigarette burning, maybe?

So you finally let him go??

No, he's earned computer privileges.

An individual files for bankruptcy. The assets list the "cash on hand." What does that mean in this case. I looked up the term and it's for businesses. How much money is in his pocket?

 

[Disgustipated]

and in his bank accounts I'm sure

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Sometimes I use a little squiggly ~ (I always forget what its called) for "approximately." For example, I said, ".... a documentary ~1985." Is this a proper usage? I dont want to confuse people.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Yes, it is the correct usage.
