Champion 11989 Philly 'burbs | Subject: RE: NewTAN's Third Law of Motion Originally posted by ratherbeswimming Originally posted by mehaner Originally posted by ratherbeswimming Anyone else getting sick of seeing GoFundMe links for EVERYTHING? Some are upfront and honest: like a pro triathlete with not enough income to cover cancer-related medical care. I get that. BUT when it's for surgery for your dog, and you own a $5k+ bike, and your facebook is flooded with photos of your around-the-world adventures... maybe you need to re-prioritize instead of asking everyone around you for money. Wedding dresses? Furniture? Horse shows? Also, how easy would it be to post fraudulent stuff on these sites? Rant over. Back to your regularly scheduled Tuesday. i must know fewer a-holes than you do, ha. i've never seen a gofundme show up in my FB or email, worthy or unworthy causes. i agree with you 100%. I made the mistake of poking around the gofundme site after I saw one pop up on my FB that I found to be completely ridiculous. BAD IDEA.
I did that once too. I started to get miffed then I figured if people want to panhandle on the virtual corner they can have at it. I don't have to go looking for them. |

New user 80 Howell, Michigan | Subject: RE: NewTAN's Third Law of Motion I think I'd go with the time machine, heading to the past. Although the hoverboard would be VERY cool. Does that describe the plot to Back to the Future? |

I'm not sure I'd ever drop the $ on a set... but they're so much better than my Skullcandy ones I usually use... and comfortable, too! I have the Bose headphones that cover the ear (as opposed to earbuds). I am very careful to have them whenever we fly. I love babies but crying babies on planes that are inconsolable for some reason can make a 4 hour flight seem like forever. The headphones plus a playlist constructed by a music literate daughter can make such travel annoyances almost disappear. I understand that both styles of Bose headphones are excellent for their respective uses.

Time machine to the past - there are a lot of things I'd like to check out, mysteries to solve, evil dictators to kill... Fart popcorn, for sure. It'd be a fun novelty. And I'd never lose my path back home when out on a run Hoverboards. Gummy bears sound too sticky. What happens when it rains? |

Yes. There have always been groupies, I suppose. Another black mark was that he did not give much credit to his first wife for her help with math either, but by their divorce agreement, when he won the Nobel prize, he had to give the money to her. He is still my hero for the diversity of his physics problem solving skills. What he did was to take some of the physical paradoxes that contradicted conventional physical law and worked back to a new physical la that removed the paradox. Mostly, it was just algebra. Einstein has a great quote that I have hangning on my wall, "Do not worry about your problems with mathematics. I assure you mine are far greater."
On the quiet issue, Mini Tan Poll: When they make a movie of your life, who will play you? (I know it has been done before but you should all try to come up with a new answer this time.)
Have a great day. TW |

Time machine that goes forward. I can always read about the past, and the future might have someone inventing a machine that goes back. Fart popcorn. Who doesn't want a hoverboard? Besides, getting a big, creepy, sugary Care Bear Stare gives me the heebie jeebies.
