rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 188 Posts: 18633 | I noticed on a report from Puerto Rico, they mentioned how the ATM machines won't work. I had a very minor but similar issue one day prior to Irma. Couldn't get any extra cash for at least half a day. Run on money. Anyway, anyone who thinks cash will soon be worthless after a major catastrophe, wait 'till you see how worthless a piece of plastic will become. So, remember to pull your money out. People will take cash (for at least awhile), plastic useless. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

It's what a company called a mix of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and other things for use in baking pumpkin pie. It's marketed as "pumpkin pie spice." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpkin_pie_spice Also, Chipotle peppers do not exist in nature ;) Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 188 Posts: 18633 | Three women were only survivors of shipwreck on an island 40 miles from the nearest civilization. A blonde, brunette and redhead. The blonde was really dumb, but when all 3 decided to try to swim the distance the blonde was the only one who didn't drown. The redhead swam 25 miles and drowned. The brunette made it 30 miles and drowned. The blonde swam 20 miles, decided she'd never make it, and swam back. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

kenarman Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 14 Posts: 4470 | I was looking at a list of average IQ by state. I was a little surprised that all the smart USC professors and students, not to mention all the above average movie actors only manage to bring the state up 2 places from the bottom. California is 48th out of the 50 states. New York was much better but still just making the top half at 26th. It then occurred to me that if politicians knew these stats if they should consider dumming down their campaigns in order to win those states.

I was stuck on St Croix when Hurricane Hugo ran over the island. My first experience in a lawless society. We joked that we had enough plastic to buy whole city blocks, but we were struggling to find enough cash to buy $5 sandwiches consisting of two pieces of white bread and a slice of American cheese. If you told the restaurant owner that he was profiteering, he said we were welcome to go find some food elsewhere. It turned out he looted the cheese.

All the smartest states are always in the north, extreme north usually. All the southern states are always the dumbest. The farthest south. FL especially, and AL, MS. I won't get into the reasons, why beat that dead horse. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Nareed Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 346 Posts: 12545 | Stupid question of the month: "How does being an atheist mean you don't participate in religious ceremonies?" In a way, it's too bad the person asking this wasn't a Christian. I could have quoted Farnsworth's prayer: "Oh, nobody's Father, who art nowhere, I know You can't hear me, completely ignore this prayer. Nothing art Thou and nothing Thou will ever be.

Really? Dumbest States (from dumbest to least dumb) Hawaii. Nevada. Mississippi. Alabama. Florida. South Carolina. West Virginia. Louisiana. http://klaq.com/states-ranked-from-smartest-to-dumbest/ 6 Southern states at the very bottom. Hawaii is at the top because of the natives, stupidest people I ever met in the 6 months I lived there. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
