Shoot the Breeze With the Cooler Crew - Peoplesforum Edition

ask lance. the goal of it is so that when you post, you see everything posted from the last post you read to the current post. its happened to me a couple of times too.

i know. like to post 70something for me the last time it did it. its done it for me in a couple of other threads too. i didn't worry about it because it wasn't doing it after every post i make (given the amount of posting i do, that happening after every one would be a very bad thing^TM
:)

Goodmorning :)

Thanks THX for posting the link to the article on 'lost secret parts selling on EBay' -I heard about it but it was nice to actually read about it.

This is perfect for Ares :)

Water or (Diet) Coke?

WATER

1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.

2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is
   often mistaken for hunger.

3. MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.

4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost
   100% of the dieters studied in a U-Washington study.

5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day
   could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of
   sufferers.

7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory,
   trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer
   screen or on a printed page.

8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon
   cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%,
   and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

COKE & DIET COKE

1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons
   of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car
   accident.

2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in
   two days.

3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and
   let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric
   acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a
  rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of
   Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to
   the rusted bolt for several minutes.

7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan,
   wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the
   ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix
   with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.

8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of
   greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The
   Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road
   haze from your windshield.

For Your (Ares) Info

1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8.
    It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also
    leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the
    rising increase in osteoporosis.

2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck
   must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly
   corrosive materials.

3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of
   their trucks for about 20 years! Now question is, would you like a
   glass of water or coke?

A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory,

wow. that certainly explains why i've been known to decide i wanna go search for something on the web, open up ie, and forget what i was gonna look for. pretty much the only time i ever drink water is if i'm out working and need to keep hydrated, or when i'm at a restaurant that doesn't serve coke.

where'd you find that fact sheet, me2? oh, and i'll take a coke if ya got one. otherwise water will do just fine :)

Snow! where ya been? someone said you were dead.

oh wait. that movie hasn't been released yet. :)

i missed being whipped.

Is this the right cooler?

that depends on what you mean by "right cooler", muneera. and what you're looking for, that sort of thing :)

if you're here to vote on the cats and dogs issue, its in the wampeters folder. :)

I voted already. I just want to stand by the right cooler. :)

This is it. :) I was lurking, but I decided to stop being a voyeur and just come right up to the cooler. :)

i like your response better. :)

well, in that case, you've found it. we are the cooler crew.

nah, this is your cooler thx. you can do it :) besides, i'm not a good story-teller.

Hello cooler crew!

Me2:
I found your post about coke frightening. :) Now I know why after drinking it my teeth feel hairy. They're dissolving. :)

Thank you! I decided to visit you on your turf for once and I'm really liking what you have here. :)

THX 1138 6/4/02 11:09am

Would you please? :)

You did a post to Lance once that I can't seem to find.

you're not gonna get a yes dear out of me, you know.

i'll go hunt it down. and when i do, you'll link to it from the top of the page :)

THX 1138 6/4/02 11:15am

T3 knows, she's on vacation right now. :)

I just thought it would be fair that if I wanted to gab, I could come here and gab too. :)

THX 1138 6/4/02 11:22am

I'm such a snob! Can you ever forgive me? :)

Strange, we start lamenting Jethro's departure, and My Dalliance shows up.

thems sounds like fighting words. :)

THX 1138 6/4/02 11:36am

OH NO! Looks like I'm going to have to commit seppaku with this conical water cup! :)

Congratulations THX :) You have been initiated ;) Was it good for you?

THX 1138 6/4/02 11:55am

Nah, just renders the cup completely useless. :)

Whadda ya mean?

THX 1138 6/4/02 12:05pm

Me too! BBL! :)

Okay, continuing from last night. First, the bad news. The bad news is that some time in the first half of next year, I'll be moving to South Dakota.
